SV: ghee??

[Guest guest]

1. Some are able to give ghee to their children without any observable effects.

2. This might be interpreted in two different ways.

a) The ghee is refined to a point of 0.0000% protein content (extremely

unlikely, if you ask my opinion)

The child's appears to have no harmful reaction to such small amounts of

protein. This might be interpreted in three different ways.

b1: Given this particular child's combination of gut status (healed),

enzyme activity (adequate to cope with a minute intake) or microbiological

factors, little or no protein gets absorbed across the gut barrier in opoid

peptide form - or if it is absorbed in that form, it gets broken down fast

enough by the remaining natural peptidase enzymes. These patients could go on

using ghee indefinetely, until somthing else causes the enzyme system to break

down, or the gut permeability to increase, whereupon ghee might again become a

big problem.

b2: The protein fragments do, in fact, accumulate, but they only cause

chronic problems because the patient's system manages to keep peptide levels

relatively stable. These patients will lose part of their potential if ghee is

used. This kind of problem is very difficult to spot, because it might take

many months of very slow change to realise that potential. Proving that there

is a connection, will be very difficult unless challenges are made later on.

b3: The protein fragments cause both accute and chronic effects, but both go

unnoticed. There are several reasons why this may happen. Most important among

these are the time delay problems: It's not the first dose of morphine that

sets the patient crawling up the walls: It's the absence of the tenth dose. If

you're only looking for the more tell-tale signs of peptide activity, you're not

going to see them to begin with. You have, in other words, to do a bit of

studying and experimenting and a bit of very close observation before you can

tell, with any certainty, that there are no accute effects. Remember that the

habituation / un-habituation problems and the infamous bell-shaped dose response

curve are parts of the time delay problem.

Therefore: When experimenting with ghee, be sure to stop using the stuff from

time to time: The patient's sensitivity is likely to vary a lot, over time.

Some appear to develop increased tolerance as the years go by. Others appear to

develop extreme sensitivity to even minute traces of offending protein.
