May is Neurofibromatosis Awareness Month. Neurofibromatosis (NF) is a genetic disorder of the nervous system. It causes tumors to form on nerves anywhere on the body at any time.  It also affects the development of non-nervous tissues such as the bones and skin. The disorder that effects millions of people worldwide. It effects all races, ethnic groups and both sexes equally. It is one of the most common genetic disorders in the United Sates, effecting  more than 100, 000 of the population.

Neurofibromatosis is an autosomal dominant genetic condition, it is not contagious. Approximately 50% of people with NF have a prior family history with it. The other 50% of a result of spontaneous genetic mutation.

My family has been personal efffeted by NF for at least 4 generations. Please join me at Modern Alternative Health to learn more.

• Keep the foods “nourishing”, such as homemade chicken stocks, whole grains, vegetables, fruits, healthy fats (lard, coconut oil, butter, olive oil, tallow), unrefined sugars, flours and salts and meats.
• Please don’t include recipes using processed oils such as soy and canola oil, msg laden bouillon and other highly processed foods. Try to incorporate traditional methods of preparing foods like, sprouting, soaking, sourdough and lacto-fermentation. If I notice a recipe using these ingredients it will be deleted.
• Link back to this blog hop, it is a common linking courtesy. It helps to build a stronger blogging community. That way we can all learn and share with each other.

We enjoyed reading all your submissions. The hosts will pick a favorite post to feature on next week’s Simple Meals Friday. If you want to be featured please be sure to link back to this blog hop. Our favorites will be featured on facebook and pintrest!
