IS YOUR BABY ALLERGIC TO MILK? THERE IS A HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE! Our black and white photo does not do justice to Skylar’s rosy cheeks and red lips. Skylar could not keep down any milk-based formula. Her parents gave her a homemade formula made from liver, broth and lactose, with added cod liver oil and coconut oil. “It looked pretty unappetizing but she loved it from the very first gulp. . . and has thrived on it ever since.” At age two, Skylar still gets her liver formula along with solid food.

“Baby Blue,” with his beautiful round face, is the picture of health. His parents, Dr. and Mrs. Bruce West, are starting him out well on a Wise Traditions diet. When he continued to fuss on breast milk alone, his parents began giving him a supplemental bottle of homemade baby formula based on raw whole milk. Baby Blue is now as happy as can be on a combination of his mother’s milk and supplemental formula.

Would it be possible to contact the parents of these lovely babies and get picures of the children now? They must all be teens or young adults. I, and I’m sure many others, would LOVE to see the fruits of the labors of their parents, feeding nourishing foods throughout childhood and adolescence. Sometimes it can be exhausting going against the grain, and it would be so encouraging to see what we have to look forward to with our own children!
Maureen Diaz says
What a great idea! Perhaps some of us can post pictures of our babies all grown up, either in the journal or on the website. We’ll have to discuss.
Kassia Batista says
That would be wonderful. Thanks for considering it.

Hi Maureen, please don’t forget about my request. 🙂

I love reading the stories of these beautiful babies and how their mothers followed the WPF diet. I was just wondering how many of these children received vaccinations?
Not done anything with children but noticed how healthy my baby chicks were that I raised naturally and no vaccines. They seemed to be better than the mothers that did get vaccines from the hatcheries.
They to were given raw cultured milk
ellie says
I’m curious about whether or not these babies were vaccinated as well, and also whether or not mom’s received prenatal ultrasound ‘therapies’. Prenatal ultrasound use has risen dramatically in recent years, right along with children’s cancers and other hazards of modern medicine.
I am currently reading The Dark Side of Prenatal Ultrasound and the Dangers of Non-Ionizing Radiation by Jeanice Barcelo, April 2019. I would love to see it reviewed by WPF. IMO, Jeanice should receive an investigative journalism award! Excellent and important information for anyone considering pregnancy.
