Guest guest Posted September 6, 2008 Report Share Posted September 6, 2008 I have watched this video and don't agree with it. My daughter was on soy formula for two years and was one of the healthiest children in my family, at her daycare, in school and with all the children I used to work with at my job. She rarely got sick when every one else would come down with the yearly colds, flu, etc. It was a God-send because she was unable to have milk-based formula (we are extremely lactose intolerant). My nephews who were all on milk-based formula are always sick and have weak immune systems. I believe the soy helped my daughter build up a strong immune system and she is almost fifteen now and, other than the fact that we got exposed to mold, I believe she would still not have ever been sick. And, to this day, I have not seen any long term adverse health effects. However, like with everything else, I don't believe you should use an excess amount. But, like with most things, perhaps, with some people there could be those who should not use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 I went to a naturopath about 2 months ago and she has healed me more than my environmental/lung specialist and other drs - and one of the key things she told me is that women should not have soy! I stopped using it and again, along with the kinisiology and other foods she removed from my diet, and the supplements she is giving me to detox - I feel so much better - while I am not ever expecting to be the " same " as before....I am reacting much more slowly to many triggers of my Multiple chem sensitivity.
