Dont drink MILK
Don\'t Drink Your
Milk!
Processing Is the Problem
The path that transforms healthy milk products into allergens and
carcinogens begins with modern feeding methods that substitute high-protein, soy-based feeds for fresh green grass
and breeding methods to produce cows with abnormally large pituitary glands so that they produce three times more
milk than the old fashioned scrub cow. These cows need antibiotics to keep them well.
Their milk is then
pasteurized so that all valuable enzymes are destroyed (lactase for the assimilation of lactose; galactase for the
assimilation of galactose; phosphatase for the assimilation of calcium).
Literally dozens of other precious
enzymes are destroyed in the pasteurization process. Without them, milk is very difficult to digest. The human
pancreas is not always able to produce these enzymes; over-stress of the pancreas can lead to diabetes and other
diseases.
The butterfat of commercial milk is homogenized, subjecting it to rancidity. Even worse, butterfat may
be removed altogether. Skim milk is sold as a health food, but the truth is that butter-fat is in milk for a reason.
Without it the body cannot absorb and utilize the vitamins and minerals in the water fraction of the milk. Along
with valuable trace minerals and short chain fatty acids, butterfat is America\'s best source of preformed vitamin
A.
Synthetic vitamin D, known to be toxic to the liver, is added to replace the natural vitamin D complex in
butterfat. Butterfat also contains re-arranged acids which have strong anti-carcinogenic properties.
Non-fat
dried milk is added to 1% and 2% milk. Unlike the cholesterol in fresh milk, which plays a variety of health
promoting roles, the cholesterol in non-fat dried milk is oxidized and it is this rancid cholesterol that promotes
heart disease.
Like all spray dried products, non-fat dried milk has a high nitrite content. Non-fat dried milk
and sweetened condensed milk are the principle dairy products in third world countries; use of ultra high
temperature pasteurized milk is widespread in Europe.
Other Factors Regarding Milk
Milk and refined sugar
make two of the largest contributions to food induced ill health in our country. That may seem like an overly harsh
statement, but when one examines the evidence, this is a reasonable conclusion.
The recent approval by the FDA
of the use of BGH (Bovine Growth Hormone) by dairy farmers to increase their milk production only worsens the
already sad picture.
BGH causes an increase in an insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1) in the milk of treated
cows. IGF-1 survives milk pasteurization and human intestinal digestion. It can be directly absorbed into the human
bloodstream, particularly in infants.
It is highly likely that IGF-1 promotes the transformation of human breast
cells to cancerous forms. IGF-1 is also a growth factor for already cancerous breast and colon cancer cells,
promoting their progression and invasiveness.
It is also possible for us to absorb the BGH directly from the
milk. This will cause further IGF-1 production by our own cells.
BGH will also decrease the body fat of cows.
Unfortunately, the body fat of cows is already contaminated with a wide range of carcinogens, pesticides, dioxin,
and antibiotic residues. When the cows have less body fat, these toxic substances are then transported into the
cows\' milk.
BGH also causes the cows to have an increase in breast infections for which they must receive
additional antibiotics.
Prior to BGH, 38%of milk sampled nationally was already contaminated by illegal residues
of antibiotics and animal drugs. This will only increase with the use of BGH. One can only wonder what the long term
complications will be for drinking milk that has a 50% chance it is contaminated with antibiotics.
There is also
a problem with a protein enzyme called xanthine oxidase which is in cow\'s milk. Normally, proteins are broken
down once you digest them.
However, when milk is homogenized, small fat globules surround the xanthine oxidase
and it is absorbed intact into your blood stream. There is some very compelling research demonstrating clear
associations with this absorbed enzyme and increased risks of heart disease.
Ear specialists frequently insert
tubes into the ear drums of infants to treat recurrent ear infections. It has replaced the previously popular
tonsillectomy to become the number one surgery in the country.
Unfortunately, most of these specialists don\'t
realize that over 50% of these children will improve and have no further ear infections if they just stop drinking
their milk.
This is a real tragedy. Not only is the $3,000 spent on the surgery wasted, but there are some
recent articles supporting the likelihood that most children who have this procedure will have long term hearing
losses.
It is my strong recommendation that you discontinue your milk products. If you find this difficult, I
would start for several weeks only, and reevaluate how you feel at that time.
This would include ALL dairy,
including skim milk and Lact-Aid milk, cheese, yogurt, and ice cream. If you feel better after several weeks you can
attempt to rotate small amounts of one form of milk every four days.
You probably are wondering what will happen
to your bones and teeth if you stop milk. The majority of the world\'s population takes in less than half the
calcium we are told we need and yet they have strong bones and healthy teeth.
Cows\' milk is rich in
phosphorous which can combine with calcium--and can prevent you from absorbing the calcium in milk. The milk protein
also accelerates calcium excretion from the blood through the kidneys.
This is also true when you eat large
amount of meat and poultry products. Vegetarians will need about 50% less calcium than meat eaters because they lose
much less calcium in their urine.
It is possible to obtain all your calcium from dark green vegetables (where do
you think the cow gets their\'s from?). The darker the better. Cooked collard greens and kale are especially good.
If you or your child is unable to take in large amounts of green vegetables, you might want to supplement with
calcium.
If you can swallow pills, we have an excellent, inexpensive source called Calcium Citrate, which has a
number of other minerals which your body requires to build up maximally healthy bone.
It is much better than a
simple calcium tablet. You can take about 1,000 mg a day. For those who already suffer from osteoporosis, the best
calcium supplement is microcrystalline hydroxyapatite.
It is also important that you take vitamin D in the
winter months from November to March. Normally your skin converts sunshine to vitamin D, but the sunshine levels in
the winter are very low unless you visit Florida or Mexico type areas.
Most people obtain their vitamin D from
milk in the winter; so if you stop it, please make sure you are taking calcium with vitamin D or a multi vitamin
with vitamin D to prevent bone thinning.
Most people are not aware that the milk of most mammals varies
considerably in its composition. For example, the milk of goats, elephants, cows, camels, wolves, and walruses show
marked differences, in their content of fats, protein, sugar, and minerals. Each was designed to provide optimum
nutrition to the young of the respective species. Each is different from human milk.
In general, most animals
are exclusively breast-fed until they have tripled their birth weight, which in human infants occurs around the age
of one year. In no mammalian species, except for the human (and domestic cat) is milk consumption continued after
the weaning period. Calves thrive on cow milk. Cow\'s milk is designed for calves.
Cow\'s milk is the number
one allergic food in this country. It has been well documented as a cause in diarrhea, cramps, bloating, gas,
gastrointestinal bleeding, iron-deficiency anemia, skin rashes, atherosclerosis, and acne.
It is the primary
cause of recurrent ear infections in children. It has also been linked to insulin dependent diabetes, rheumatoid
arthritis, infertility, and leukemia.
Hopefully, you will reconsider your position on using milk as a form of
nourishment. Small amounts of milk or milk products taken infrequently, will likely cause little or no problems for
most people.
However, the American Dairy Board has done a very effective job of marketing this product. Most
people believe they need to consume large, daily quantities of milk to achieve good health. NOTHING could be further
from the truth.
Public health officials and the National Dairy Council have worked together in this country to
make it very difficult to obtain wholesome, fresh, raw dairy products. Nevertheless, they can be found with a little
effort. In some states, you can buy raw milk directly from farmers.
Whole, pasteurized, non-homogenized milk
from cows raised on organic feed is now available in many gourmet shops and health food stores. It can be cultured
to restore enzyme content, at least partially. Cultured buttermilk is often more easily digested than regular milk;
it is an excellent product to use in baking.
Many shops now carry whole cream that is merely pasteurized (not
ultra pasteurized like most commercial cream); diluted with water, it is delicious on cereal and a good substitute
for those allergic to milk.
Traditionally made creme fraiche (European style sour cream), it also has a high
enzyme content.

Re: Dont drink MILK
Personally I have
been as of late buying fresh squeezed female (human) breast milk online, and drinking it. I find it reminds me of
the days which my mother fed me. Nothing beats breast milk in my opinon. Brings ya right back to your childhood.

There are places online that
you can order breast milk, it is a guess treat nowadays.

Re: Dont drink MILK
Yeah, cow milk is all
kinds of bad for you. I stopped drinking it many cow pies ago and have not regretted it for a moment. I switched
over to soy milk but quit that cuz of the estrogen connection. Phyto-estrogens that is. At my age, 102, I don\'t
need no estros making me get a tub around my belt line and making my swift long unit shrink down to nothin and get
all soft. I\'m over to rice milk now. Yum!

Rice milk; almond milk. Never
touch dairy. Smells like a deli dumpster to me since I've been away from it. Nice post.

I have been drinking SOY Milk for
about a year now.
No complaints here.
DCW
I drink fat-free milk. Soy,
etc. is too expensive. When they become competitive, count me in!
Doesn't soy milk raise a males
estrogen levels. I heard of a vegetarian guy who actually got gyno from all the soy products he ingested, different
with everyone. Soy Milk? Why? Plus the growth hormones in today's milk helps you grow hair on your balls and for
girls your boobs a lot faster...now that is cool!
Ya know TM... I REALLY
expected to see Pancho's face on that one as it scrolled upMaybe you can let him know where you buy your
breast milk from
Eep Opp Ork Aah Aah...

I've noticed problems with
diarrhea when using milk products, specially ice cream, but i've been to the doctor and taken blood tests and been
tested for milk allergy, and they didn't find anything.. You think it can still be the milk even though the doctors
don't find any allergy?
..I've stopped believing doctors after they told me i had arthritis and would probably
end up in a wheel chair soon.. (At the age of 17!). I did find a guy who had taken some sort of physioterapy
education in china though that fixed the problems in my feet
though).
I wonder if you're lactose
intolerant, and the sugar (which encourages microbe growth) and cold temps (which discourages digestion) of the ice
cream make it worse in your intestines?
DrSmellThis (creator of P H E R O S)
interesting.. :)
Thinking the
same thing,or, not so scientifically
I first heard about lactose intoleranse a few years ago and thought it
could fit my situation, but shouldn't that show up on allergy tests?
Not sure if this makes any sense, but i
feel i also get a bad stomach from eating i.e. bananas.. So haven't eaten that for ages, although they taste
great.
I have never liked drinking milk though, and i was told some time back that if you didn't like certain
foods when you were young it was often because you have an allergy for it..( ?)
Hey doc, have you got some sort
of education in this field or just being generally full of knowledge?
...lactose intolerance
wouldn't show on any allergy test, as won't many kinds of food sensitivities, when they don't trigger a histamine
reaction (what allergy tests detect) but some other reaction instead. There are other ways of finding out your food
sensitivities -- most commonly elimenating the most common trouble foods (e.g., wheat, milk products) for a week or
two; and then adding them back one at a time to see if you feel worse with that food. It takes a little discipline,
but it's worth it. Many feel like a completely new person after they elimenate their trouble foods.
I'm just
generally full of it...
approach it scientifically; and have worked with various natural practitioners over the years. Your issue is very
common and lots of people know about it.
