Earthwalker is the username that PT founder Julie Genser created for her online interactions so many years ago when first creating Planet Thrive.
Julie's (Earthwalker's) life was derailed over twenty years ago when she had a very large organic mercury exposure after she naively used a mouth thermometer to measure the temperature of just-boiled milk while making her very first pizza at home. The mercury instantly expanded into a gas form and exploded out the back of the thermometer right into her face. Unaware that mercury was the third most neurotoxic element on Earth, Julie had no idea she had just received a very high dose of a poisonous substance.
A series of subsequent toxic exposures over the next few years -- to smoke from two fires (including 9/11), toxic mold, lyme disease, and chemical injuries -- caused catastrophic damage to her health. While figuring out how to survive day-to-day, and often minute-to-minute, she created Planet Thrive to help others avoid some of the misdiagnoses and struggles she had experienced.
She has clawed her way over many health mountains to get to where she is today. She is excited to bring the latest iteration of Planet Thrive to the chronic illness community.
In 2019, Julie published her very first cookbook e-book called Low Lectin Lunches (+ Dinners, Too!) after discovering how a low lectin, gluten free diet was helping manage her chronic fascia/muscle pain.

This blog interests me. I am thinking about trying the bread and cracker recipes. What would happen subsituting lemon/lime juice for apple-cider vinegar since I am avoiding fermented foods?
sorry, but a lot of canaries with MCS don’t tolerate mint of any kind. ” – (
Kathryn, I’m not sure about the substitution. Elana does not necessarily read the comments here but you could ask your question directly on her website (see link in right column). It certainly sounds like a good substitution to me. Please post here and let us know if you do try it.
Sorry you don’t tolerate mint, Susan. There are many people who read this blog without MCS, and many with MCS who do tolerate mint. We are all different. But you could certainly try making it without mint or with a substitute flavoring that you do tolerate. As with any recipe we post on Planet Thrive, people with extensive food intolerances will need to get creative and adapt recipes to their own situation. Enjoy!
