Healthy oil salad dressings are simple and cheap to make – be sure you know the olive oil is pure – or there are several excellent commercially sold ones, including Bragg’s dressings which are available at our store.

(Dr Allie had two healthy sons at home with the help of an amazing team of midwives. As yet another sad reflection of our overpriced health care system, insurance would not cover the very reasonable fee – just 10% of a typical hospital birth – yet the far more expensive hospital route would have been covered in full).
