Well, judging from what you've shown of yourself on this thread, it may not have been Jill's reason, but had I been in her place, it would surely have been mine! It's fun to meet people we only know through the internet, but NOT if all we've seen of them there shrieks "incompatible"! (Life is too short to waste it like that.) Jil knew next to nothing of me at the time. And I would offer that only one or two in this group know more than a tiny bit about me, no matter how many believe otherwise. |

So now you've got something against modern refrigeration, too? Not particularly. I merely wished to point out how ludicrous it might be to believe that diary products could be kept fresh without it in the desert. I don't think anyone but you thought that issue had even been raised! |

I would offer that your infections are not caused by bacteria or virus, but rather by your consumption of dairy products - along with other gargage like refined sugar and flour, which combine with dairy residues to create mucus, in which those nasty micro-organisms (that get blamed as the "cause" of infections) are able to thrive. To which I'd be inclined to reply (if I weren't too polite) "You're full of s--t!" I bet you're also too polite to kick it out of me Don't bet on it - you're really beginning to **** me off! (And I suspect I'm not alone.) - but that's exactly what you'd love to do, isn't it? Or maybe a better choice would be to gather a gang to stone me. That's the preferred punishment for heresy against the sacred (in this case, the sacred cow). What did I just say about your mental health? (Case closed!) |

CatNipped wrote: Both my children were allergic to milk as babies - they had to drink soy milk - but they could both drink milk as children and into adulthood. I don't know if they just became tolerant from exposure or if their allergies actually went away (I know you can develop allergies with age that you didn't have as a child, but don't know that the reverse is true). I think it well may be - how often doctors, in telling parents of a child's allergy, add "but he/she may outgrow it"! While kids may "outgrow" allergies, what they don't tell you is odds are extremely high they will come back by the time they are thirty or so. Also true of outgrowing asthma. Jo |

I suggested all sorts of things but with Pat it absolutely HAD to be Vietnamese. I suppose it's because they don't drink milk. LOL |

"EvelynVogtGamble(Divamanque)" wrote you seem to be laboring under the misapprehension that mucus generated by food is neither healthy nor normal! (Upon what scientific data do you base that assumption?) I haven't done or even looked at any "scientific" data. Maybe you should ask some of the people mentioned in this article from www.milksucks.com instead of only looking at studies funded by the dairy industry: According to a report published by the American Academy of Allergy and Immunology Committee on Adverse Reactions to Food (part of the National Institutes of Health), the allergies of up to one third of children tested cleared after milk was removed from their diet. Dr. Benjamin Spock, author of the world-famous book Baby and Child Care, wrote in 1998, "Cow's milk is not recommended for a child when he is sick-or when he is well, for that matter. Dairy products may cause more mucus complications and cause more discomfort with upper respiratory infections." In their book Allergies to Milk, Drs. Sami L. Bahna and Douglas C. Heiner report that children who are allergic to milk "may have breathing difficulty, particularly during sleep, or an irritating cough associated with a postnasal drip. . The cough is frequently associated with noisy breathing and excessive mucus in the throat, and sometimes parents worry that their child is 'gagging.' . Such affected children are frequently diagnosed as having upper respiratory infection, viral illness, bronchitis, . or pneumonia. Accordingly, they may be given unnecessary medications, including cough syrups, decongestants, or antibiotics. Relief, however, is not satisfactory until cow's milk is eliminated from the diet." A 1997 report on food allergies in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that cow's milk allergies tend to hit children in their infancies. Recommended therapies for food allergies include "strict removal of the offending allergen" or possibly a diet centered on human breast milk. A British study found that 93 percent of children diagnosed with cow's milk allergy experienced asthma and/or rhinitis when milk was included in their diet. (The book Asthma and Rhinitis states that rhinitis is "characterized by itching, sneezing, nasal blockage, and discharge.") Frank Oski, M.D., the former director of the Department of Pediatrics of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and physician-in-chief of the Johns Hopkins Children's Center, said in his 1992 book, "The fact is: The drinking of cow milk has been linked to iron-deficiency anemia in infants and children; it has been named as the cause of cramps and diarrhea in much of the world's population, and the cause of multiple forms of allergy as well." In his book Pregnancy, Children, and the Vegan Diet, Dr. Michael Klaper explains why milk may trigger the production of mucus: "[W]hen the protein of another animal is introduced into one's immune system, an allergic/immune response is created in many places in the body. A common reaction to such an assault by a foreign protein in our immune system is an outpouring of mucus from the nasal and throat membranes. . The resulting mucus flow can create the chronic runny noses, persistent sore throats, hoarseness, bronchitis, and the recurrent ear infections that plague so many children (and their parents)." According to the metastudy Milk Allergies, "Cow's milk allergy, mainly a disease of infancy, is usually manifested within the first two or three months of life. . No age, however, is exempt, and milk allergy may be first detected during adolescence or adulthood." Dr. Christiane Northrup states: "Dairy is a tremendous mucus producer and a burden on the respiratory, digestive, and immune systems." Dr. Northrup says that patients who "eliminate dairy products for an extended period and eat a balanced diet . suffer less from colds and sinus infections." The mucus created by milk may cause other health problems, as well. Dr. William Ellis, who has studied the effects of dairy foods for more than four decades, says that milk is "simply no good for humans." Dr. Ellis believes that the excess mucus caused by milk can harden to form a coating on the inner wall of the intestines, hindering the absorption of nutrients and possibly leading to chronic fatigue. According to an article in the June 26, 2003, Calgary Herald, milk is the most common source of allergies in children. Sharon Tateishi, a Calgary, Alberta, nutritionist for more than 20 years, comments, "There are so many articles coming up. You can't ignore the issue any more. If a child has food sensitivities to milk, the symptoms can include eczema, bloating, runny nose, chronic ear infections, stomach problems. It could be asthma. Even things like kidney and bladder problems." |

I suggested all sorts of things but with Pat it absolutely HAD to be Vietnamese. I suppose it's because they don't drink milk. LOL My recollection is that initially several emails were exchanged (this was back in 2003) to discuss meeting for lunch when I got to Memphis. These included photos so we could recognize one another at the restaurant. When I arrived in Memphis I called you to decide when and where to meet the next day, and you said that since it was my treat I should choose the place. I asked if you liked Oriental cuisine because it's a favorite of mine and in fact one of the reasons I like visiting Memphis was the many Oriental restaurants, and I looked forward to the chance to have some good Thai food, or Vietnamese, or even Chinese or East Indian. I mentioned that I had tried the East Indian place near where you live on a prior visit and found it not very good as well as overpriced. Neither of us knew which if any of the Thai places were good. Then you said just pick the place and I'll meet you there. So I told you about a good Vietnamese buffet and you agreed to meet me there the next day. But you never showed. Later I got an email saying you had been too afraid to drive. |
