OT: Got Milk? Casein in Dairy, what about Goat's Milk?

Hi all,

I have been trying to help my 90 year old Mom from another state and she has been suffering from phlegm (mucus) in her throat (she tries coughing it up), gas, bloating, etc. Yes she is lactose intolerant and the more I have been reading about dairy the more the word "protein casein" pops up.

From this article (I don't know how accurate it is):

PROTEIN Milk can be thought of as "liquid meat" because of its high protein content which, in concert with other proteins, may actually LEACH calcium from the body. Countries that consume high protein diets (meat, milk and dairy) have the highest rates of osteoporosis. THE 'WHOLESOME' PROTEIN MYTH 87% of milk is water. That makes it VERY expensive water. Broken down into its basic groups... WHOLE MILK is: WATER FAT CASEIN OTHER PROTEIN 87% 3.25% 4% 1% 4.75 (note: that is 3.25% "milkfat" which includes the 87% water.) 80% of the protein in milk is casein.

Casein is a powerful binder... a polymer used to make plastics... and a glue that is better used to make sturdy furniture or hold beer bottle labels in place. It is in thousands of processed foods as a binder... as "something" caseinate. Casein is a powerful allergen... a histamine that creates lots of mucus. The only medicine in Olympic athlete Flo-Jo's body was Benedryl, a power antihistamine she took to combat her last meal... pizza.

So I went on a search for goat's milk for my Mom and since I couldn't find raw goat's milk where my Mom lives I ordered a powdered form (Meyenberg brand) of goat's milk from Amazon. Also ordered yogurt for my Mom made from goat's milk.

Thoughts on powdered Goat's Milk? I know many here own goats and are lucky to have your own supply of organic goat's milk.

Thanks,
Denise

Deejavu....my llmd has me longer on milk,whey casein,sugar,processed food....he agrees with everything you stated....thank you.

One question i have is coconut? have been consuming it in all forms...my family thinks its a bit much? fat?

) thanks

PeteZa!

My Daughter says it's too high in fat? I use it in everything,a little in my green smoothies,i cook with it (paleo) in my coffee.....oh yeah,with a bit of stevia,mmmm.

She says way too much cholesterol daily?

I try to explain Paleo....and the difference,only eat approx 60 carbs per day.

With Candida issues, sugars are not my friend,so i go with unsweetened coconut milk (reason)

Last blood test was a slightly higher,however,i know i am eating so much healthier.

Thanks!


ps i think when you are fighting illness,the body wants good fats.

Deejavu,

Green Vibrance...just looked that up,great product.....how long did you use (still do) and did you take it with other supplements?

reminder

It seems like a lot of people who had thought they were lactose intolerant (myself included) were actually reacting to the A1 protein in standard cow's milk.

It turns out that switching to higher yielding breeds of cows changed almost all the milk in western countries to the A1 protein. Goat's milk is naturally A2. They started producing A2 cow's milk from specific breeds again and it's available in some stores if you look for it.

Raw - and I do repeat- raw goat milk is the only dairy that both the associations for Naturopathic medicine and Traditional Chinese medicine say is the only health milk.

But powdered goat's milk isn't nearly as good as the fresh, raw milk is.

But, if she has a casein allergy, that's in all milks - cow, pig, goat, horse, camel, and even human. So that would me no milk whatsoever. That's what my grandson has, a casein allergy, so they use coconut milk at home.

As a funny side note - there is a Meyenberg collection here, and I came very close to being a supplier! LOL!
