The safety of goat yogurt for ASD children

[Guest guest]

The moderators of Pecanbread have found out that there are good

outcomes with yogurt if the parent is

introducing the goat yogurt very gradually. They now recommend to

give

1/8 of a teaspoon for the first weeks. The goat yogurt should only

be

introduced after the first month of SCD.

Dr Sidney Baker is the leading DAN doctor and

he is now advocating SCD as the treatment for Autism Spectrum

Disorder.

The patients of Dr Baker have their own SCD list. All the autistic

children from that list are also tolerating the goat yogurt.

Sometimes,there is an initial bad reaction to the goat yogurt. If

you

get those reactions,proceed very slowly and decrease the amount of

yogurt. If the initial bad reaction lasts more than a month,then

discontinue the yogurt and try it at a later time.

Children with autism improve dramatically with the goat yogurt!

I have sent links to other sites that discuss this matter.

The most recent work which contributed immensely to our knowledge of

goat milk was done in France by Ribadeau Dumas et al23 on the

molecular

structure of the polymorphs of the caseins.

It was for the first time possible to demonstrate the molecular

structure of bovine milk casein. The molecular structure of goat

milk

was done immediately afterward and it was proved beyond doubt that

goat

milk casein differed widely in basic chemical structure from that of

cow

milk. The author concluded it now was possible to say that not only

the

lactalbumin but all the various fractions of protein in goat milk

differ

from that in cow niilk. This, then, is the likely reason why an

infant

intolerant to a product from cow milk does so well on goat milk. 23.

PROTEIN

Structurally, the milk protein casein of the goat's milk is

sufficiently

different from that found in cow's milk to be easily differentiated

in

the lab. The casein miscelles typically exist either as much larger

or

much smaller aggregations than are found in bovine milk. Because of

this

it has been suggested that, although the quantity and distribution

of

amino acids in the casein fractions of the milks of the two species

are

similar, the sequency of assembly is almost certainly different.

This

difference is further substantiated by the fact that goat casein is

associated with a lower mobility in an electrophoretic field. A

similar

difference appears to be found in the lactalbumin portion as well,

with

perhaps more clinical significance. The lactalbumin of bovine milk

elicits an allergic response from many individuals, a serious

problem,

especially for young children. These individuals are often able to

consume the milk of goats without suffering that reaction, an effect

attributed to the dissimilarities in structure of the two proteins.

Human and goat milk do not have the opioid protein that causes

diabetes

but cow's milk does. This article below proves this:

Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus and cow milk: casein

variant consumption.

Elliott RB, DP, Hill JP, Bibby NJ, Wasmuth HE.

Department of Paediatrics, School of Medicine, Auckland, New

Zealand.

Previously published Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus

incidence in 0 to 14-year-old children from 10 countries or areas

was

compared with the national annual cow milk protein consumption.

Countries which were selected for study had appropriate milk protein

polymorphism studies, herd breed composition information and low

dairy

imports from other countries. Total protein consumption did not

correlate with diabetes incidence (r = +0.402), but consumption of

the

beta-casein A1 variant did (r = +0.726). Even more pronounced was

the

relation between beta-casein (A1+ consumption and diabetes (r =

+0.982). These latter two cow caseins yield a bioactive peptide

beta-casomorphin-7 after in vitro digestion with intestinal enzymes

whereas the common A2 variant or the corresponding human or goat

caseins

do not. beta-casomorphin-7 has opioid properties including

immunosuppression, which could account for the specificity of the

relation between the consumption of some but not all beta-casein

variants and diabetes incidence.

dairy peptides (from casein) leave the body in about 2-4 days
