European Conference: Programme Changes & Updates

by

With the fourth Weston A. Price Foundation European conference only days away things are getting really exciting!

We would like to take this oppurtunity to not just to notify our visitors on a couple of programme changes, also introducing three new treatments available and a brilliant new talk which will help incorporate all the knowledge available at the conference into your daily lives.

Sunday 5pm-6pm  We are happy to introduce a new talk by Milko Georgieve and Maria Mitova entitled “How to Build Your Menu”.

Consisting of a “Knowledge” and a “Practice” section the talk will provides an insightful roundup of the conference, with practical ideas on how to incorporate the knowledge learned during the conference into your day-to-day life.

“Knowledge”:This section will focus on teaching visitors about five areas:

  1. Calorie distribution – how much of the food we consume is used for energy and how much for building material.
  2. Guidelines on the frequency, timing and combination of foods for optimal nutrition.
  3. Lean body mass, as the adequate dietary calculations base.
  4. Protein, how to determine the amount needed by our body based on our goals.
  5. Quick review of the types of carbs, protein and fat products you will use to build your menu.

“Practice”:Two volunteers from the audience will be invited up on stage. As a demonstration on how to incorporate the information gained across the weekend, we will set their goals and lifestyle for exercise, determine adequate daily calories for each of them and calculate together how much protein, fat, and carbs they should eat. Finally, we will build a menu for each of them from a list of provided products. The audience will be helping the volunteers. The workshop will end with 5 minute Q&A session.

New Treatments Available:

Additional treatments will be available from Marlow Homeopathy, Thrive Health and Sai Nutrition.

Marlow Homeopathy:Can be found by the cafe offering consultations all weekend for:

Frequent contributor to Wise Traditions, and creator of Cholesterol and Health, a website extolling the benefits of nutrient and cholesterol-rich foods, Chris Masterjohn PhD, will be providing two sequential talks on the effects of positive nutrition on both mental health, and heart disease.

Taking place at 10am on Saturday, Chris Masterjohn’s first talk will provide an in-depth insight into the benefits of animal foods, such as organs, bone-broths, and cod liver oil in stable mental health. The talk will draw from Dr Weston Price’s work documenting the ability of nutrient-dense foods in promoting mental health along with physical health.

Focussing on the topic of atherosclerosis, Chris Masterjohn’s second talk centres on the relationship between nutrient synergy and heart-disease prevention. Chris will discuss the best way to harness the power of fat-soluble vitamins, antioxidants, along with other nutrients to prevent molecular degeneration and heart-disease.

Chris’s final talk on Friday evening provides a humerous round up of the studies which claim that a mythical transition from a low-fat to a high-fat diet has caused the scourge of modern disease.

Fish and Cod Liver Oil History & Production: A food that has spanned millennia, the first section of David Wetzel’s two-part talk on Cod Liver Oil will begin by describing the character of fish oils from biblical times to the present day. Explaining the difficulties of integrating a historical food into present-day climate, David will describe the various problems with tests, label requirements, and the drug-language ascribed to mainstream Cod Liver Oil.

Cod Liver (S)oil: What is the perfect food for bacteria? They need protein, sugars, water, and for explosive bacterial growth they need B vitamins and enzymes.

In the second part of David Wetzel’s discussion, he will describe the benefits of using a by-product of cod liver oil as a soil conditioner and raw milk as a fertiliser, pesticide, and an anti-fungal. Discussing his experiences adding liquid fish, molasses, and other real foods to the soil in small quantities David will describe the results of his experiments.

 

Saturday 11.20am – 12.30pm:

Stephanie will explore the connection between the rise in the usage of engineered “Roundup-ready” monocrops, and the parallel increase of autism rates, digestive problems, and the possibility of links to Alzheimer’s, obesity, depression, and breast cancer.

 

Saturday 2pm – 4pm:

Fall Edition of the Weston A. Price Quarterly Journal: How GMOs are Killing the World

by

The fall edition of the Weston A. Price quarterly journal is now available here online. This edition of the Weston A. Price journal contains a message from President Sally Fallon Morell, features from Jeffrey Smith and Stephanie Seneff, all of whom are speaking at the Weston A. Price Foundation conference in London, 8-9 February 2014. Join the Foundation to receive the journal in the post quarterly, delivered to your doorstep.

 

President of Weston A. Price Sally Fallon Morell is proud to announce that this issue moves GMOs and the new science available on the dangers behind its use up from the sidelines and into the forefront. The links between GMO usage and the global increase in disease, digestive disorders, infertility, cancer and behavioural problems like autism have now become evident.

“Even if you are avoiding genetically engineered foods yourself, many of our loved ones still consume them, so we all need to work together to get GMOs out of the food supply.”

Jeffrey Smith examines new evidence which confirms the belief that GMOs are responsible for the promotion of a wide range of diseases that spans across the whole globe. GM corn and soybeans produce a number of toxins not present in non-GMO soy and corn. Both evidence and numerous US physicians point to GMOs as the cause of many global health problems.

“Proponents of GMOs have become more aggressive at suppressing adverse data and promoting their myths, desperate to stem the anti-GMO tide. They continue to proclaim that the technology is precise, environmentally friendly, and needed to feed the world, in spite of evidence that shows just the opposite.”

Stephanie Seneff exposes the lie that Roundup® is harmless to humans. Glyphosate, Roundup’s active ingredient, is demonstrated in a series of studies to be disruptive to the guts of chickens, cows and pigs. Seneff has connected glyphosate to the increase in a number of diseases, obesity and autism over the past 20 years.

“Roundup could plausibly be the most important factor in the observed increase in a number of diseases and conditions like obesity and autism over the past two decades in the U.S… we are doing something wrong, and our wholesale embrace of GMOs is an obvious candidate.”
Both Jeffrey Smith and Stephanie Seneff will be speaking at the Weston A. Price Foundation’s fourth annual European conference, Feb 8-9 2014.
This year puts the event firmly on the map with an impressive new venue at Sandown Park in Esher and vastly expanded programme of talks and workshops.The venue is 20mins from central London with free parking, 10mins from Junction 9 of the M25 and prices are held at 2012 levels.Book early to secure places on workshops, which have limited spaces.

 

Speakers: John Carter, Sally Fallon Morell, Chris Masterjohn PhD, Janey Lee Grace, Jeffrey Smith MA, David Wetzel, Geoffrey Montague Smith, Beverley Rubik PhD, Dr Natasha Campbell McBride MD, Jane Mason, Maria Tarantino, Philip Weeks, Ben Pratt, Prof. Ton Baars PhD, Jane Levi, Geoffrey Morell, Karen Maidment, Heidi Herrmann, Peter Brown, Stefan Chmelik, Debbie Vernon, Ruth Trealy, James Treador, Stephanie Seneff PhD, Simon Whyatt.
