Here is good news for anyone needing to eat gluten-free, and for those unlucky enough to also have to eat dairy- and egg-free, even better news. Liz Lovely, Inc. in Waitsfield, Vermont makes a variety of gluten-, dairy- and egg-free cookies (they also make cookies with wheat) that are delicious! They use organic and fairly-traded ingredients and are certified organic by NOFA Vermont. My fave is the Gluten-free Chocolate Fudge cookie, but they also have incredible Ginger Molasses and Chocolate Chip. Made in small batches by Liz and Dan Holtz, all the Liz Lovely cookies (with-Gluten and Gluten-free) are 100% vegan. You can shop online or find a local store selling their goodies by searching the Store Locator feature on the website.
And if you remember my earlier post (9/18/08) about rice and arsenic, you will be happy to know that the rice flour used in Liz Lovely cookies is organic - phew!
So find these scrumptious treats and enjoy!

Another GREAT Anthroposopphical Medicine Resource
For those interested in the world of Anthroposophical Medicine, I have just learned of an invaluable resource from Dr. Steven Johnson, D.O., a gifted doctor integrating Anthroposophical medicine and other wholistic modalities into his practice for over fifteen years. He helped develop and co-found the AnthroMed Library, a web-based repository for articles about Anthroposophical Medicine --- http://anthromedlibrary.com.
The AnthroMed Library provides a wealth of information and links on Anthroposophical medicine including medical references about Iscador Mistletoe, used in Europe as an immune stimulant and for cancer therapy.
Mistletoe 101: While the raw plant and berries of mistletoe are poisonous, when made into specially prepared extracts they are safe and offer health benefits. In Europe mistletoe extracts are used as immune stimulants and for cancer therapy. Mistletoe is a semi-parasitic plant that grows on a variety of trees including oak, pine and apple. Currently Mistletoe is not legal in the United States except for clinical trials which the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) is working on: http://nccam.nih.gov/health/eurmistletoe . In Europe, a common mistletoe remedy is manufactured by the Weleda company under the name of Iscador and has been used for over eighty years. See the website for more information: http://www.iscador.com
