Welcome to Litsy!

Oh dear, I think we might have a problem here.
She's talking about the SNS and PNS (sympathetic and para-sympathetic nervous systems) except it sounds like she is saying "penis", which results in startling clauses such as "women with a dominant penis...". And it comes up a lot! (Oh God, now even that innocuous sentence is loaded with Freudian subtext! ?)

There were some surprising facts in this book that made it really interesting. I think anyone with a beating heart could learn something from this book. It also discusses the challenges to making greater strides in medical treatment for heart conditions around the world. It‘s really amazing what this little, fist sized muscle in your chest can do.

No citation was given for this statistic, but I would certainly be interested in hearing more about this. That really seems like a lot.

Planck suggests eating real, whole foods, including pasture-raised beef and chicken, plus butter, cheese, and eggs from those animals. She also suggests that raw milk is as safe as pasteurized milk if it comes from a reputable supplier.

I use butter from grass-fed cows and imported from Ireland (imagine the price going forward with the crazy new tariffs).

She does a huge data/info dump throughout. Often, my eyes glazed over. 😵‍💫🙄 Overall A-.

I really enjoyed this book! I feel like I have learned a lot from it and can‘t wait to start using what I have learned in my daily meal habits. There is some super helpful information in this book; and I highly suggest reading it if you find yourself disliking our Western medicine practices or are looking for alternative methods for healing.

Probably the most useful book I'll read this year. Yeah, I'm old. But it's great information to really believe that you're not going insane. #16-2025

I could have learned more from a good Google🔎. The same canned advice as found everywhere🙄 Nothing particularly enlightening.

It‘s that time of the year - March Madness and reading. I always get so much read while having the games on in the background. I‘d picked this up as my mom continues to explore the more holistic approach to cancer treatment. I thought a lot of what he said was interesting but I think the chapter on faith could be problematic for some. I appreciate his messages of forgiveness and that was his experience but he shouldn‘t have pushed God so much
