"Hi Jenni;   Shannon Hayes, here (author of RH).  My husband is also a type 1 diabetic.  Here are some of the things we've learned:   1. Contrary to what conventional diabetes counselors tell type 1's, it is…"

"I've been hearing from folks about the woes of unsupportive partners when facing the RH lifestyle for quite some time now, and here is my attempt to make some sense of what I've learned.  I'm sure many of you have some views…"

"Cornelia- I thought this was a joke...now I know what to do with all those scobis I've been tossing into the compost!"

"Carol - I just had a chance to check out that TED talk you referenced.  Wow.  That's something.  I think you are right about the vitriol.  And I believe that most people on this path experience it.  I take it somewhat…"

"Anyone else have trouble reaching out to new folks? http://www.yesmagazine.org/blogs/shannon-hayes/confessions-of-a-local-supremacist"

"No - I never tried that, and in a fit of kombucha rage, I permitted my husband to compost it. Now I'm sorry, and need to find a new mother to try that...I feel like an evil orphan."

"Hi Marie - I think Sandor Katz writes about using all kinds of crazy things for feeding the mushroom in Wild Fermentation - I believe he tells of a friend who even used soda (!??). In any event, in Nourishing Traditions, S.Fallon says that white…"
