Re: Thanks Patti was crazy medical question

Raw milk is often WAY more tolerated by most than commercial dairy, which is

loaded with steroids, hormones, antibiotics and the other stuff cattle are fed.

I was " allergic " to dairy my entire life (not just lactose intolerant, but true

allergy) until I discovered raw milk-now it is a staple for me (I have my own

cows) My cows are well cared for, clean, pasture fed, and healthy, and raw milk

contains all of the enzymes needed to digest itself, so it is rarely a problem

for even the most dairy intolerant. I make butter, buttermilk, raw cheese,

kefir, yogurt and other goodies from it. For me, it was a far better option

than being totally vegan, although I am vegetarian. I avoid soy like the

plaque. You can make a homemade " tofu " using black beans, white beans, or other

bean options besides soy, if you still want that source of protein-it is easy to

make, and you also end up with a lovely creamy bean " milk " in the process!

lb cooked veggies, no oils (or very very minimal), at least 4 fruits and nuts,

seeds

Good luck in finding that group or groups and with the triglicerides.  Can you

exercise?  That may be a key.  It is what they tell me.

Dairy is one of the ones I have a hard time giving up but ALL my dairy is low

fat (or nut/rice milks). I am reading Dr Fuhrman.. I just got to his 6 week

and saw the no dairy.. I cringed. Between the green smoothies, snacking on the

sprouts, salads I;m sure I was getting the 1lb raw. Also the fruit (again with

the smoothies and just plain fruit). The cooked I am moving toward. My other

problem with the diet is he has soy protein... I am not supposed to do soy as it

is a natural estrogen and I have a HUGE problem with blood clotting. I have a

bunch of Vegan cookbooks and am trying to find some vegetarian recipes as well.

I know anyone who tried say the black bean " meat " balls thought they were my

regular meatballs..they were tasty! I had not liked hummus that I had at Greek

restaurants but I found a recipe for roasted garlic, roasted red pepper hummus

that WAS OUTSTANDING!!!!!!!!!

So I think two things.. I might need to see what else I can do besides soy

(though I did have a tad of silken tofu in a carrot soup - but it was 1/3 cup

which was next to nothing...)I'm going to see if their is a YahooGroup for both

Vegetarian newbies and Dr Fuhrman's diet.

I should say that I know my elevated triglycerides is a heridarty condition

(Type IV Hyperlipidemia)I know I HAVE TO LOSE WEIGHT! But even when I was thin I

had very HIGH triglycerides (one time they were off the chart).

Again thanks
