Re: Du Pre: Cheney's Immunocal Protocol

[Guest guest]

Thanks for helping me out, Carol!

(I'm late getting my messages today--unexpected company!)

One or two more suggestions for Steve:

Dr. Cheney told me to use soy milk (since a lot of PWCs have a problem

with cow milk). He told me that I could add a little carob for

flavoring and it would taste like chocolate milk.

Or he said I could mix it in 6 to 8 ounces of plain water (which is

what I have been doing). Because it tends to get lumpy he suggested

putting a little water in a glass and then pouring a little of the

Immunocal in. You let that sit for a few minutes. Then you add more

water and the rest of the Immunocal. Then you stir gently. He said you

don't want to stir real vigoursly because it destroys the properties of

the whey product.

The first time I tried to mix it, it was like trying to drink cottage

cheese! Since then I have learned to stir slowly with a spoon -- and

keep stirring slowly -- and keep stirring slowly -- until it is well

mixed!

He said to be sure and take it between meals so as not to have it

digested along with food from a meal you have just eaten.

Hope this helps -- Good Luck!
