Milk has been my favorite drink since I was a little kid. When I hit twenty, for some reason my face started breaking out. I'm now 33 and JUST found your page three days ago. I've been searching for the cause of acne for 13 years! It's been a LONG, PAINFUL AND EMBARASSING journey. I'm sure you've heard all the stories, but the things I've done or NOT done because of my acne...well, it's been a rough 13 years. " While I just discovered your website, along with: http://milksucks.com " I can say in the past three days, my skin is clearing up like a puddle of water in an Arizona desert. I am 80% sure that this is the problem. I will be 100% sure in about three weeks when for the first time, my face is 95-100% clear. I say this because of the results I am seeing in only three days. I have 15-20 spots that are slowly but surely clearing. " Like many thousands of persons with acne, Mark has discovered the Notmilk therapy. It's not the gels and creams that you put on your face that clears up acne. It's what you don't put into your mouth that makes the difference. Acne occurs when steroids (androgens) stimulate the sebaceous glands within the skin's hair follicles. These glands then secrete an oily substance called sebum. When sebum, bacteria and dead skin cells build up on your skin, the pores become blocked, creating a zit. " ...80 percent of cows that are giving milk are pregnant and are throwing off hormones continuously. Progesterone breaks down into androgens, which have been implicated as a factor in the development of acne... " Oski, M.D. (Director, Department of Pediatrics, s Hopkins University School of Medicine) ___________________________ " Acne usually begins at puberty, when an increase in androgens causes an increase in the size and activity of pilosebaceous glands....if a food is suspected, it should be omitted for several weeks and then eaten in substantial quantities to determine if acne worsens. " MERCK Manual, Merck & Company, 2000 ___________________________ " Acne is an end-organ hyper-response to androgens...These data show that sebaceous glands are stimulated by androgens to varying degrees and support the theory of an end-organ response in acne. " British Journal of Dermatology, 1998 Jul, 139:1 ___________________________ " Hormones found in cow's milk include: Estradiol, Estriol, Progesterone, Testosterone, 17-Ketosteroids, Corticosterone, Vitamin D, insulin-like growth factor, growth hormone, prolactin, oxytocin... " Journal of Endocrine Reviews, 14(6) 1992 ___________________________ " We studied the effects of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), alone and with androgen, on sebaceous epithelial cell growth...IGF-I was the most potent stimulus of DNA synthesis. These data are consistent with the concept that increases in GH and IGF production contribute in complementary ways to the increase in sebum production during puberty. " Endocrinology, 1999 Sep, 140:9, 4089-94 ___________________________ " ...serum IGF-I levels increased significantly in the milk drinking group, an increase of about 10% above baseline-but was unchanged in the control group.

Life in the White House is magnificently portrayed each Wednesday night during prime time. Last evening President Jed Bartlett, portrayed by Sheen, shared a scene with Alda that will forever remain a NotMilk moment. There they were, late in the show, two political adversaries finding common ground in the White House kitchen, pigging out by dipping teaspoons into four 5-gallon tubs of various ice creams. Sheen to Alda: " Here, try the pistachio. " Two actors portrayed the most powerful men in America sharing a snack that represented a dangerously unhealthful irony. In the story line, President Bartlett's second term is coming to an end, as the symptoms of our TV president's Parkinson Disease accelerate...which brings us to the March, 2005 issue of the Journal Neurology. (2005 Mar 22;64(6):1047-51) CONSIDER: Twelve pounds of milk are required to produce one pound of ice cream. JOURNAL OF NEUROLOGY STUDY TITLE: Consumption of milk and calcium in midlife and the future risk of Parkinson disease. STUDY OBJECTIVE: To examine the relation between milk and calcium intake in midlife and the risk of Parkinson disease. METHODS: From 1965 to 1968, 7,504 men (ages 45 to 68) were studied for 30 years (1995-1998) in the Honolulu Heart Program. RESULTS: During the follow-up phase of the study, 128 subjects developed Parkinson's Disease. Incidences of Parkinson's Disease were compared to milk intake. Researchers found no relationship between calcium intake and Parkinson's Disease (from milk or non-milk sources). However, researchers did find a 2.3-fold increase of Parkinson's Disease in the high-milk intake group when compared to the group of men who consumed no milk. SCIENTISTS CONCLUDE: " Findings suggest that milk intake is associated with an increased risk of Parkinson disease. " ADDITIONAL SCIENTIFIC SUPPORT: Research suggests that cow's milk lactoferrins are responsible for the onset of Parkinson's Disease: " These data suggest that lactoferrin receptors on vulnerable neurons may increase intraneuronal iron levels and contribute to the degeneration of nigral dopaminergic neurons in Parkinson disease. " Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, October, 1995, 10;92(21):9603-7. " These results suggest that lactotransferrin may participate actively in the mechanism of neuronal degeneration in Parkinson's disease. " Acta Neuropathology, 1996;91(6):566-72. " According to these findings, disruption in the expression of these proteins in the brain is probably one of the important causes of the altered brain iron metabolism in age-related neurodegenerative diseases, including Parkinson's Disease...
