Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Hi Bob, I absolutely agree. I'm just curious why whey works for some and not for others. It would be nice to be able to say, hey if you have these <insert variable(s) here>, then whey is for you, if not whey is not for you. This is completely anecdotal, but it seems like whey seems to work better for those that are underweight than normal weight or overweight.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 Hi Duncan, I'm really curious about this just because I've seen so many different stories about whey, and you are the resident expert. Can you please answer these questions and satisfy my curiosity? I would really appreciate it! 1) If someone was truly truly not able to have any dairy products, what you would recommend ***besides*** whey? 2) Do you believe there are people who truly can't have dairy/whey in any form? 3) Do you think that all of the people who have trouble with whey are only having herx/die-off reactions or something else?

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Bonnie, the amino acid glutamine is indeed used in glutathione creation, but glutamine is not the rate-limiting factor as we have a lot in our diet. The rate-liniting factor that is in short supply and needs to be supplemented is bioavailable cysteine; i.e. two cysteines or a cyysteine bound to another amino acid as a compound.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hi Debbie, 1) cystine 2) yes, but genuine reaction to the purest whey product is rare, as all mammals' survival of the species relies on certain whey components that are in common to all mammals (and packaged in Immunocal for example). Foreign mammal-specific proteins in a less purified whey may give a sensitive a reaction; that's why for many, goat whey or human milk products would be well-tolerated but cow whey not. 3) I think all of the group with Herx/die-off reactions would probably contain a few people in which it's really a bonafide reaction to foreign proteins, but again this is a tiny percentage. Immunocal is officially noted in the PDR for prescription drugs as being well-tolerated by this group.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Cheap, normally wasted, low-temperature-extracted whey powder was the effective glutathione increaser that primary researcher Gustavo Bounous studied; he published his findings in his book " Breakthrough in Cell Defense " .

I know of people who were sooo sick and intolerant they ate 2 foods before they regained their health. You can be intolerant to any foods and this is very easy when you have holes in the lining for food particles to escape and the (any kind) food to be attacked. And of course, all allergies place a huge stress on the system and inhibit healing. **************Get fantasy football with free live scoring. Sign up for FanHouse Fantasy Football today.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 I have never reacted to foods before being on Nystatin but I find it makes me very sensitive to food and also chemically sensitive. If I eat something like berries I get a stabbing pain in various places usually legs, and if I'm around dirt or chemicals my eyes tear. Herxing is from die-off--your immune system is activated, which creates muscle pain, and producing histamines, which is itchy--it goes on for a while (minutes or hours) and for me, anyway, the food reaction is just for a moment. They can have similar sensations such as itchiness. I think some reactions are neither but instead are foods such as spices activating certain receptors in the body. Having bad candida, our immune systems are dysregulated so there is a lot of weird stuff going on. If you're reacting (as opposed to herxing) and not on antifungals then you must have a really sensitive system or are allergic. I herxed lots in my Lyme treatment but had no food reactions. The antifungal herxes start all over when I take them and die out, but with things that build up in your blood (maybe Diflucan would do this) the herx peaks after a few weeks and goes on for a couple months, and is horrible the whole time.

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I think every body is different in this area. When I eat a food I am intolerant to, I get blood sugar imbalances (even if the food is not high carb like raw full fat cream), extreme fatigue, bloating, cravings and sometimes diarrhea. When I had die-off I got headaches, muscle aches and nausea, and sometimes diarrhea. So as you can see for me, die-off/herx is very different for me (aside from the diarrhea) than the reactions I get to eating foods I am intolerant to. I can tell the difference mainly because I often eat the same foods over and over and over again, and have followed a strict anti-candida diet for almost 4 years now. I spent several years eating only beef and about three different kinds of veggies with coconut oil. My candida is cured (probably more like managed) and I have no more health issues or symptoms of candida. I continue to follow the diet for weight loss maintenance and because I feel healthier eating this way, and many other foods are intolerances for me, regardless of candida. I'm asking these questions more because I'm curious about why whey helps some and not others, and if there is another suggestion for those who don't tolerate it. I was also trying to see if some people think that the issues with whey are die-off/herx or a true intolerance. Luv, Debby in San , CA 147 pounds lost! 100% of health issues reversed!

Guest guest Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Thanks Duncan for your response. I still have another question though. For these people in our group who say they get bloating, cramping, back pain, or what ever symptoms from whey, in their case do you think this is generally a herx/die-off reaction or a sensitivity to whey or something else? What do you generally attribute those symptoms to? Luv, Debby in San , CA 147 pounds lost! 100% of health issues reversed!

Guest guest Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Debbie, IMO bloating and its associate cramping are caused by a change to the bowel ecology. This amounts to a change in homeostasis, the body's ability to accept disease in eventual comfort. I see no reason to think this is the Herxheimer-Jarisch reaction, which would not be a gassy one but one of feeling poorly and headachy. It might be die-off though. Back pain may be associated with the kidneys improving; many people on an anti-aging program report kidney pressure as kidney size and function inmproves. This follows the literature on anti-aging.

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 I wish that I could eat the whey, but I have allergies to all forms of dairy. It inflames all the smooth membranes in my body, starting with the throat and bronchii. I am using the Inulin and the selenium, but couldn't tolerate the whey fully. I have found that I can use up to half a scoop, mixed with rice protein every 4th or 5th day. I wonder if I will eventually be able to increase the frequency and if that little is really doing me more harm or is it helping. I wonder how much of my allergies, not just to dairy, but to other things is tied up in the candidiasis,etc and might eventually improve with persistence.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 I press my clients to continue with the whey because sensitivities or not it does produce the body's master antioxidant and detoxifier, which can help them like no other supplement. It's also an anti-aging tool, as age-related degeneration and low immune response are also linked to low glutathione levels. Duncan > > Interesting Duncan.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Georgia, if you don't react to Immunocal, then you know it's how the other lower-quality whey was extracted that's causing the issue.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Well, I don't tell people much when they are not my clients, but I mention on-list that I see peoples' sensitivities drop when the whey is continued rather than stopped. I think it's the glutathione levels rising that does it by reducing the byproducts they might be sensitive to. Whey also contains factors that curb pathogen growth in the gut. I think food tests are overrated. That said, if your reaction is severe you might have to call the next shot and changeup your approach, but still use a glutathione precursor, cystine for example.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 I didn't take the information as gospel either, JB, until I read the research that states cardiac and renal size and function improves with the HGH therapy. I posted it; it's linked from this page: http://tinyurl.com/24wmr7 I'm well aware of the kidney pressure and that drinking more water aleviates it, so I think its about watering down natural metabolites, not damage. Amino acids are the building blocks of life, after all. If you'd direct this kind of question to the doctors on SomaLife Health Products' Health Advisory Board, I think they'd say the same thing. On the inulin, there are several neutral organisms that produce gas on inulin as well; these are suppressed with acidity created by the probiotics, so would only be an issue at first, and as we know the gas subsides over a period of weeks Duncan > > > > > > > > Interesting Duncan.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Good point on the vitamin D deficiency; I'd like to add that if someone is trying to get well and at the same time maintaining a deficiency in any vitamin or mineral, it'll be a long road.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 My take on inflammation is: Inflammation involves the immune system, and glutathione forms the very seat of immune response according to research. Glutathione also materially reduces most of the inflammation-causing toxins. Inflammation is highly exacerbated when a person has an imbalance of omega-3:omega-6 oils. This in many people is made worse by using plant oils, even flax oil for example, because the pathway that changes the linolenic acid into tiny amounts of a useful omega-3 is impaired by the omega-6 even in this favoured oil. Most other oils don't even contain linolenic acid, and what you need is EPA and DHA in any case. Read Dr. Floyd Chilton's " Inflammation Nation " for more. Inflammation is increased a lot in the elderly by falling plasmin (enzyme) levels, which allows blood coagulation, clots, strokes, as well as inflammation. BlockBuster All Clear, a metabolic enzyme mix, is the remedy for the naturally falling plasmin levels. All good, Duncan's got it together and it works! Duncan > > > > > > Interesting Duncan.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 As per Ayurveda, major risks in order of preference are, 1. Gas, which can compress various internal organs, & can even fake a cardiac arrest. Many patients get backache with excess gas compressing internal organs, spine or even causing slight displacement of spine, when we bend sharply, like picking up an object from floor. Entrapped gas get compressed & strain organs. When acute, people take anti-protozoa medicines to control fermentation. Then candida flourish. It is a viscious circle. 2. Bile need balance, not more not less. 3. Mucous/phlegm, in balance. May be it is Wiser not to get into gas trouble at all. =============================== JB wrote: > That sounds very unreasonable to me, as does the theory that lower > back pain is caused by the kidneys " growing and improving.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2008 Report Share Posted July 29, 2008 I don't take this all as gospel personally. I am already cured from my candida (or in remission) so whey is not something I need to use. I was just curious and I think it's good to discuss things and get different points of views.
