The Importance of Milk and the cow breed

Well I learned last night the importance of the breed of cow our milk comes from. I watched the movie Forks over Knives and as a result starting doing more research on milk.

1. Pastuerized milk is useless.
2. Organic is no good if it's from a grain fed cow - must be grass fed and pasture grazing.
3. Raw is the best.
4. Milk needs to be from a class of cow referred to as "A2".

We use raw milk and thank goodness (whew!!) it's from A2 cows, however we've been buying our raw cheese at Whole Foods and come to find out it's from Holstein cows - type A1.

About 80% of cows in this country are A1 - YIKES! A1 cows pass high levels of beta-casein into their milk which is not good for us and largely contribute to disease.

I think I will be on this journey of learning to be healthy for the remainder of my life. Just when I think I have it down-pat on being healthy I learn even more that I need to do.

Gallbladder Flush

Get ready for a new adventure with my getting healthier! I and my daughter (adult) are going to do a gallbladder flush in response to her most recent gallbladder attack. If you have ever had an attack (I have) you know how painful they are.

We are going to follow the steps/process found at the website in the link below:

Detox continues :-)

Well, I am now at the end of 5 weeks of detoxing and I can say that if you decide to detox be prepared for  potty trips (#1) during the night. 10 more days to go with this round of detox and since I've not suffered any ill effects I am going to go for another 45 days. I figure I've got 50 years worth of metal build-up to detox.  I don't see how one round of 45 days of detoxing will undo 50 years of damage!!

In case you don't recall what I am using it is:

 Heavy Metal Detox by Nature's Sunshine  http://www.naturessunshine.com/us/products/product/stocknumber507-heavy-metal-detox-90-caps.aspx

I will be posting additional blogs this weekend on a variety of subjects. Sorry I am so far behind!!
