I am fairly new to the discussion board, and so I thought I would say a little about myself. I mentioned briefly in another post that I have been following this diet for about a month. Prior to converting to Wai, I was a raw vegetarian, which means I ate raw fruit, vegetables, nuts and seeds, a few ...

Wow, that quoting got all jacked up, didn't it? I don't know how to do it line by line as you have done. I've decided I am going to introduce the yolks at 8 months, which is next week.

My daughter is now 7 1/2 months old, and I would like to start her on raw yolks. But I am hesitant because they are loaded with pathogens. She has been eating only raw blended fruit since she was 6 months old. And she is still breastfed, of course. I have been thinking about introducing a small amou...
