Beyond Meds: top ten posts of the year and of all time. Good stuff to revisit or see for the first time

I’m very pleased to know this blog is being used as a resource as I’ve hoped it would be. The highest trafficked posts are collections which allow people to dive into the archives of the blog. They’re listed beneath this years top posts. They’re also always readily available from the drop down menus at the very top of the blog.

There were 590 posts this year as of today. And there have been a total of 4,026 posts on the blog.

Top ten posts from this year:

• The histamine intolerance link and how this paleo girl went vegetarian (even vegan, for the time being!)
