Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 The information put out on soy not being healthy is suspect to say the least. While the information is all over the net there has never been a sanctioned clinical study by a legitimate medical group , according to my alternative health practitioner and that I have been able to find, that demonstrates any adverse effects of soy in humans. Not one. Factor in that the Asian culture have been consuming soy for thousands of years with no problems. On the contrary there is a book, " The Chia Study " , ( by Dr - you may find it here - http://books.google.com/books?hl=en & id=FIRLLcLjyC8C & dq=the+china+study & printsec=\ frontcover & source=web & ots=h8Vyb2d7fv & sig=jOVZCgxb2e7dDuw_tXkS2amNqDI#PPR15,M1) that is an eye opener on nutrition and the value of soy in their diet. The book was nearly buried in America but recognized internationally. As for protein in your diet- there are many sound and nutritious ways to get protein in your diet other than red meat and I would encourage everyone to think on this fact- it takes 700 calories of grain to produce 100 calories of meat. Considering the sad state of affairs of our environment it is time that more people ask themselves this question. is it worth it?

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Well said. Not to mention that these studies invariably conclude that " more study is needed " --hey, are they making a living off this research or something?

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Have you tried raw dairy products from a local farmer? This helps many people who are so-called lactose intolerant, because the natural enzymes in milk have not been destroyed by pasteurization.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Whey should be just fine in terms of candida. In fact it is promotive of lactobacillus and bifidus which are anti candida. The sinus issues here are an allergic reaction not an infection though the allergic reaction produces a catarrh discharge which will be promotive of an infection setting in afterwards. Both the energetic and biological line between yeasts and funguses is blurry at best. As a general rule anti fungals are anti yeast and visa versa. depending on the protein you are having trouble with fred, you may not have an adverse reaction to hwey. you can also try goat's whey (Mt. Capra) and might be fine with that. -D ----- Original Message ----- From: Amber <mailto:amber@...> gallstones <mailto:gallstones > Sent: Friday, April 11, 2008 12:08 PM Subject: Re: Went to a Natural Dr. for help with GB issues.

Guest guest Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 It is hard to say exactly what. Many people are " lactose intolerant " . Lactose is a milk sugar. For the first 3 years of life, us genetic northern European dna types produce lactase (an enzyme that breaks lactose down) but after 3 years the production diminishes rapidly. Asian descent looses all production and they therefore have dramatic issues with dairy (notice that dairy has never been a part of their cuisine). a lot of the time if it is a matter of lactose intolerance a digestive enzyme containing lactase completely solves the problem. In culured dairy products like cheese (hard cheeses), kefir, and yogurt, the lactose is eaten by the bacterias and therefore lactose intolerant individuals can consume these no problem. As was well pointed out by another individual the allergic reaction could be to a number of proteins especially the casein. If this is the problem, a digestive enzyme containing a number of different proteases may do the trick. also, depending on the whey powder, some have been " pre digested " and the casein has already been broken down. dairy is not inherently evil. It is consumed in large quantities in many cultures with little to no problem. Most use it almost exclusively in cultured form. Very different than that glass of pasteurized homogenized growth hormone laden 2% homo with synthetic V-D And V-A added that Mom got us on to wash down that P & J sandwich made with Wonderbread (helps to destroy bodies in many more than 12 different ways). So in our culture we have ended up developing some pretty nasty allergies to the stuff. What are the statistics? I believe it is 2/3rds of all Americans have some type of negative reaction to Milk. Allergies are a funky issue to deal with. It is basically the immune response developing a reaction to something (almost always a protein) Many times it sees another substance that appears with the allergen and then associates the two even though they are different. You got bit by a German shepherd and now a miniature poodle will send you running. Once a immune response has been developed it is a bit of a bugger to get it to shut off but if it is to a specific protein, the enzymes might work really well. all the best, -Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: fjnie1234<mailto:Fred.Niehaus@...> gallstones <mailto:gallstones > Sent: Friday, April 11, 2008 1:53 PM Subject: Re: Went to a Natural Dr. for help with GB issues. 2 questions: 1) An allergic reaction to what?

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Thanks . I cannot imagine a better source of health info than this group at times. Homogenization is another altering process. By permanently suspending the fat within the aqueous portions a not so very nice enzyme by the name of xanthine oxidase comes into play... I'm getting a heart attack just thinking about it... -Dave ----- Original Message ----- From: danyl777<mailto:ayejes@...> gallstones <mailto:gallstones > Sent: Friday, April 11, 2008 1:19 PM Subject: Re: Went to a Natural Dr. for help with GB issues. You are miss informed over the idea that unpasturized milk poses any risk that is any different from pasturized. Many many years ago when we first started farming and I came across the concept of raw milk from local farmers. I studied and researched the history of pasturized milk and discovered that it is a big hoax which only purpose was to make the corporation that was setup to sell this equipment rich. The governments data was centered around one major corporate farm which had already been repeatedly cited for dirty farm operations. So it is no surprise that twice in one year that the farm had salminila poisining in it's milk. But the thing is that pasturized milk has been found to be contaminated with salminila as well. But it was this farm that was used to cry how evil raw milk is. The senator who pushed for this was also affiliated with the corporation that was poised to sell the pasturizing equipment. The reason why most people who are lactose intolerant can drink goats milk is because the fat molecules are naturally broke down to simple molecules, where as cow fat molecules are complex. It is the extra hard work the body has to do to break up the cow fat that is difficult in some people. As far as pasturizing, I don't recall the exact medical reason that it is bad, but I do remember one case study involving cats. The fed a test group of cats, group A was feed pasturized milk and the other raw milk. The cats that was feed pasturized milk was very anti-social. The other group that was feed the raw milk were very social in contrast. So what does that tell you about pasturizing. Besides that our bodies need the bacteria and other enzymes that comes from raw foods. > > >> > > >>> My nutritionist told me to add whey protein powder to foods.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 You are right, homogenization is not good, the interesting thing with goat milk is that it is naturally homogenized, unlike cows milk. The other thing that I did not mention is that since I have friends who owns a milking truck route business, that is they pick up the milk from the farmers, so I know a few things about the condition of store bought milk. Some thing that most people don't know is that there precious store bought grade A milk is not so pure. The chemical sterilization liquid used to clean the equipment is in the milk you are drinking. To explain, the farmer is required to use this liquid to sterilize equipment. This liquid is sprayed down the tubes but when the liquid is drained there is still a liquid residue inside the tubes. So when the milk flows down it goes into the holding tank. By the time the hauler comes to pick up the milk, when he first opens the sloush valve what comes out is the chemical liquid. Granted we are talking maybe a gallon or so compared to hundreds of gallons of milk. But you know I don't go for the concept of a little arsenic in the water is good for me either. ----- Original Message ----- From: Dave Shelden gallstones Sent: Friday, April 11, 2008 7:17 PM Subject: Re: Re: Went to a Natural Dr. for help with GB issues.
