I thought it was legal to sell raw milk in stores in CT...have you checked with

Whole Foods?

Re: your recommendations for carb sensitive/diabetic/insulin resistant people

That sounds great... except that I have no car (and no funds for one!) and

the nearest place selling raw milk is 30+ miles away (I'm in New Haven, CT).

I've read that stress reduces sensitivity of cells to insulin.

That most illnesses are caused by chronic doesn't seem something that is being

disputed by anyone; therefore, it seems strange to me that no one here has

mentioned stress management as a means to achieve/maintain good health. Well,

it's

probably so because this group is about nutrition. Ignoring the stress factor

and

paying attention only to nutrition seems analogous to depressing both

accelerator

and brake pedals in a car at the same time. There's a doctor, Walt Stoll, who is

very adamant about dealing with chronic stress, and he has had very good results

with this approach. I'd strongly recommend reading his following articles:

- http://www.bcn.net/~stoll/stress.html -- Modern Medical Interpretation of

Stress

- http://www.bcn.net/~stoll/immune.html -- Immunity and Stress

- http://www.bcn.net/~stoll/relax.html -- shows what to do about chronic stress

Hey there!

Just found out a nearby health store sells raw milk! It's only 7 miles

away, so I can bike there and back (*that's* excercise, I think I'd keel

over if I had to bike 50 miles in one day to get to the nearest farm!).

Their farmer is sick, so they have none now, but two weeks from now, here I go!

p.s. Who was it that had kefir grains to spare?

p.p.s. Stress management is key! Interesting how Dr. Stoll defines stress

more broadly than I mean- he would include tripping over a rock as

stress! Does make sense. I have to say that I am as relaxed as you can

imagine given that this is my second term in Law School! I am known as the

slacker of the school, and I have a rule that I don't work in the evenings

unless there is a looming deadline, and I see friends at least twice, but

usually more a week! Nevertheless, for example, with a 20 page brief due

in 5 days, I am stressed!
