Re: (no subject) Milk-Bonnie

[Guest guest]

Hi Bonnie,

What Dr. G discusses is a reactive immune system and how diary products are

one of the most reactive foods out there. Casein is what most people focus

on but there are many different proteins. We are not casein free and my son

does fine. He has problems with anything that is milk, cheese, whey,

butter, etc.

I'm including an abstract that I ran across. It is AIDS research which of

course is NOT what we are dealing with. Other than that we are probably

looking at the same mechanisms they discuss. I've posted a few things on

research that discuss genetic retrovirus activation. There could be the

same type of cross reaction they found with HIV or with other infections,

and/or immune activation.

Hope this helps

Analysis of antibody to milk proteins in HIV positive/negative sera using

two-dimensional electrophoresis, western blot and immunoassay.

Homology between the 120 envelope glycoprotein of HIV-1 virus and

alpha-lactalbumin (a milk protein) stimulated interest in analysis of

antibody in HIV-1 positive plasma to cow's milk. Western blots of a

two-dimensional (2-D) separation of milk were assayed with nine HIV-1

positive plasmas and nine control sera. The control sera from reference labs

represented various disease problems. All nine HIV-1 positive plasma had

antibody to between two and five milk proteins. All nine HIV-1 positive

plasma had antibody to albumin and immunoglobulin (IgG); in addition, seven

reacted with butyrophilin, five with alpha-lactalbumin, six with casein.

Four of the control sera had no antibody to milk proteins; three had minor

reactivity to casein and two, one diagnosed as an IgM Lyme positive, one

diagnosed with Helicobacter pylori detected three and four milk proteins.

None of the control sera had antibody to albumin or alpha-lactalbumin.

Bovine and human albumin have almost identical sequence, and antibody

generated to bovine serum albumin could react with human serum albumin. To

look at this, three of the HIV-1 positive plasmas were assayed with 2-D

Western blots of human milk and did have reactivity with albumin and IgG.

Also, the protein butyrophilin is highly immunogenic and has significant

homology with human neural and cellular proteins. Whether these antibodies

can be causing allergy or autoimmune disease is speculative, but they

indicate an immune system which is highly activated.
