Guest guest Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 I can't say for China, but I switched to organic milk because the kefir grains wouldn't grow in non-organic. I guess the amount of antibiotic left over was enough to keep them down. -- On 7/9/07, <truepatriot@...> wrote: > > Speaking of yogurt, last night I was watching CNN and > they aired a story on dangerous food products in China. > They claimed much of the milk there cannot be used to > make yogurt due to the extreme quantities of antibiotics > used on the cows!

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 IMO, China has gone a long way to clean up their act. Yesterday they executed the head of their FDA. Now, that's a statement! The American FDA still will not allow testing of American cattle for Mad Cow Disease. This remains a concern for vegetarians. There is vegetable gelatin, however most gelatin is made from cattle parts and widely used in food products.

Guest guest Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Hey Ed, That's very interesting and scary! Did they really execute the head of their FDA? If so I hope they don't feed him to their cattle! Does anyone know if they test for Mad Cow Disease in China? I've just ordered 2 kg of gelatin from a winemaking shop (to help with arthritis) and I'm betting it's made from Chinese cattle parts....... Dare I take it? > IMO, China has gone a long way to clean up their act. > Yesterday they executed the head of their FDA. > Now, that's a statement! > > The American FDA still will not allow testing of American cattle for Mad > Cow > Disease.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 > > I am confused now because I was eating unsweetened yogurt and in one of the folders in states all yogurt and kefir is a No NO and then is another folder " lactofermented foods " it states it is good for you. ==>Generall lacto-fermented foods are good for you, but candida sufferers cannot tolerate dairy products other than butter. Here's the information from " How to Successfully Overcome Candida " : " Yogurt & Kefir would ordinarily be a good sources of probiotics, however many candida sufferers cannot tolerant them, for a number of reasons. It has been found that candida sufferers are also intolerant of homemade yogurt and kefir, where most of the lactose (sugar) content is removed by longer fermentation times. Please note that the higher the butterfat content in dairy the lower the lactose content (butter contains the least amount of lactose). The problem for candida sufferers is caused by more than just lactose content. It is because candida sufferers have inadequate digestion, making it is difficult for them to break down nutrients in all foods, but dairy products, other than butter, are particularly difficult to digest. This is mainly caused by pasteurization and homogenization which damages dairy products. It is more evident in dairy products, other than butter, even in homemade kefir and yogurt. Pasteurization destroys all valuable enzymes, including lactase for the assimilation of lactose; galactase for the assimilation of galactose; phosphatase for the assimilation of calcium. Literally dozens of other precious enzymes are destroyed in the pasteurization process. Without them, dairy is very difficult to digest, which puts undue stress on the human pancreas. However the pancreas is not always able to produce these enzymes; over-stress of the pancreas can lead to diabetes and other diseases, in addition to interfering with the digestion of other foods. Sally Fallon of the Weston A. Price Foundation states that: " Pasteurization destroys enzymes, diminishes vitamin content, denatures fragile milk proteins, destroys vitamin B12 and vitamin B6, kills beneficial bacteria, and promotes pathogens. " Milk proteins like casein also make dairy very difficult to digest. While most candida sufferers can have butter without any problems, others can only tolerate ghee (clarified butter) which does not contain these proteins. For more information on butter see the Section on Fats and Oils above. Commercially made yogurt and kefir is high in lactose content because they are made from low fat milk products, in addition to being made from pasteurized and/or homogenized milk. Even though some of the problems associated with processed dairy may be eliminated by using raw dairy it still doesn't seem to help candida sufferers. Even when yogurt and kefir are homemade from raw dairy and fermented long enough to lower the lactose, it still causes problems for candida because lactose is changed into another sugar called galactose during the fermentation process, and it also contains casein. It has been found that candida sufferers who hang on to their dairy products, other than butter, continue to have problems until they entirely eliminate them. Later on some candida sufferers may be able to tolerate small amounts of homemade yogurt and kefir, but they should still proceed with caution until they have cured their candida.

Guest guest Posted November 8, 2007 Report Share Posted November 8, 2007 I was also getting lots of yeast infections. Thank G-d I'm better now, though I do still get them. The more vegetables she eats the better. Try to signifcantly cut down on sugar and carbohydrates. Yogurt is good, but preferably not the kind with added sugar (or if she must have it, cut the sugar by adding plain yogurt to fruity yogurt in a one to one ratio), a probiotic, multivitamin, drinking lots of water, getting lots of sleep, and trying to reduce stress. Lubrication at the yeast infection site. Olive oil is very good, and applying plain yogurt directly to the yeast infection is also helpful.

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 You might consider these "colds" as a a good thing...the body detoxing itself. It is normal to get this and as a health practitioner I know if someone doesn't get the normal colds and flu - it might be because the immune system cannot muster up the forces to fight the bug.... IMO - the yogurt fed his immune system and it started working. ~ Anything you can imagine, you can create ~Cary Birch, PhD Homeopathy, EFT, Quantum Energy TechniquesStress Management Institute for Living Empowered661 942-4220, www.eftsmile.com, www.hcgqueen.com ____________________________________________________________ Diet HelpCheap Diet Help Tips.
