Re: Yogurt and night sweats

[Guest guest]

Yay you!!But could it just be a dairy response, not a cow hormone response?I've given up all dairy recently because of it creating an auto-immune responsein my system - maybe the night sweats is another version? MaraJust wanted to give an update to those who suffer from night sweats and eat milk yogurt… 3 days after switching from milk yogurt to coconut yogurt, my night sweats stopped completely. I believe the reason is because of all the cow’s hormones that are in the milk. I also am less constipated because of stopping milk yogurt. GERDS and chronic C.SCD 2 yrs

For those who think they have dairy insensitivities, you might want to consider changing to only raw milk. Most people blame dairy for their problems, but most often it is the pasteurization process which changes the milk entirely into something that our bodies do not recognize and reject. Before beginning this diet even, we were able to tolerate raw milk, homemade icecream made with raw milk, raw milk kefir, raw milk yogurts and cheeses...you get the point well. It also has improved our allergies overall and improved my son's asthma. I know that liquid milk is not legal on this diet, but I think perhaps that only pasteurized milk was taken into consideration. Raw milk also has a much lower lactose content, because the enzymes in raw milk are alive so they consume a lot of the lactose before we even drink it. We are adhering to the

diet's requirements of abstaining from liquid milk, (I thought that kefir was ok as long as it was well tolerated) but we think that perhaps in time we might be able to add it back in. Until then we continue to enjoy our raw milk yogurt and cheeses. (when I make my yogurt, I omit the "sterilization" process.)Anyone interested in learning more about raw unpasteurized milk, this is a great place to start!http://www.westonaprice.org/--- Subject: Re: Yogurt and night sweatsTo: BTVC-SCD Date: Sunday, May 2, 2010, 3:07 PM

Until then we continue to enjoy our raw milk yogurt and cheeses. (when I make my yogurt, I omit the "sterilization" process.)I've been only having raw cheeses since I introduced them again, and I think I may be tolerating them better than the pasteurized ones. My question is: should I not eat the raw cheese melted or heated? I know it will destroy enzymes, but I'm wondering if heating the cheese would change the protein just like pasteurization does or not. I'm HOPING pasteurization is much more severe than just melting cheese, because melted cheese is pretty darn yummy =)Thanks!

Alyssa,

I'm not an expert on this, but here is my 2 cents. Melted cheese is legal ( the

legal kind ), yummy, and you are finally gaining weight and still have some

growing to do.

So go for it and enjoy

You get plenty of enzymes in your green smoothies.

Alyssa,

Somewhere in Nourishing Traditions Sally Fallon comments that the egg

white is much more difficult to digest than the yolk, and that eggs

should be eaten whole. If I can find the section I'll post the page # later.

I thought there was something I read long ago that if you ate too

many raw egg whites it could cause a shortage of biotin. But I don't

know how many too many would be!
