Guest guest Posted August 3, 2001 Report Share Posted August 3, 2001 I found the letter that mentioned the pasturization....thanks , hope you don't mind my forwarding it again. Alison --------- Forwarded message ---------- To: gfcfkids Hello, listmates! I had a consultation yesterday with Pam, a nurse at the Great Plains Laboratory. She shed some light on some issues that I thought I should share. Pam stated that their peptide test detects cow casein and some goat casein, but that human casein is distinct and their tests do not detect it. If a nusing child's mother is consuming gluten or casein, however, it will be passed through the breastmilk and will register as such. In Dr. Shaw's opinion, butter is safe to use. Pam said that butter does not contain milk protein, only fat, so it's okay. She said that if you have any qualms about it, clarify it and make it into ghee. I asked if they thought it was safe to use butter even if the child has a true milk allergy, and she said yes, she wouldn't hesitate to give it to a child who is allergic to milk for the same reasons as stated before. Pam also had some very interesting information. She said that not all cows produce this harmful casein. It has a genetic factor, and there are cows whose milk is safe for our children to consume. She said that there has been some talk with local dairy farmers about starting a dairy using only specially tested cows that don't produce the harmful casein. I know someone will ask, so I'll say it right now--I think these cows still produce casein, just not the kind that produces the opiate-like effect. I was on my cell phone driving down the road and didn't think to clarify that. So, ARE THERE ANY DAIRY FARMERS ON THIS LIST???? Speak up, we need you!! Start shipping the milk in to be tested!!! Seriously! Pam also said that there is some speculation as to whether the pasteurization processes that the milk is subjected to has anything to do with these peptides. Might make sense that there is this steady incline in autism since good ole Louis Pasteur. Just in case anyone doesn't know, when you have testing done at the Great Plains Lab, the fees include a phone consultation with Pam. Just call and they will set up an appointment for you to speak with her. She's very nice and will answer all your questions to the best of her knowledge. in Missouri ===== Visit www.open-invitation.net/andrea to shop the newest product line from House of Lloyd! __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
