Guest guest Posted December 12, 2010 Report Share Posted December 12, 2010 Dear Bee, Thanks for your prompt answer. I'm glad to know that homogenized butter is okay if one can digest milk proteins. Usually, when I eat homogenized butter (along with other things such as eggs or fish or red meat since I don't eat butter alone), in the worst cases, I am hit with instant fatigue and cold chills, and the only relief is to have a long nap in a warm bed. I also get liver pain, abdominal pain, as well as air bubbles on my calves, belly, arms etc... I get cranky and/or depressed. Sometimes, my mouth gets dry and/or coated. But it is hard to pinpoint whether the culprit is butter, or fish, or a combination of things. Maybe I am just experiencing " die-off " symptoms? I know I am healing even while eating butter since I have been doing a lot of retracing already. Thanks again for your help and amazing program!

I eat a whole lot of butter every day, more than a cup. The other day, I ran out of the organic butter, and I went to an organic co-op which carries non-homogenized butter. It's been 5 days now that I have been eating only ghee and non-homogenized butter in big amounts, and I haven't had any of the debilitating symptoms. It seems that my body reacts to homogenization. I have done some research and discovered that homogenization appears to be linked to arteriosclerosis. Could someone confirm or infirm? +++Hi Helene, It is not true homogenization can cause atherosclerosis. This has been well-researched and documented by Enig, PhD, Weston A. Price Foundation, and her final statement is: " During homogenization there is a tremendous increase in surface area on the fat globules. The original fat globule membrane is lost and a new one is formed that incorporates a much greater portion of casein and whey proteins. " [Casein is also protein.] Here's the article " Milk Homogenization and Heart Disease " http://www.realmilk.com/homogenization.html Some people have more difficulty digesting proteins in dairy products, including butter. Since the proteins are higher in homogenized butter, unhomogenized butter and/or ghee (proteins have been removed) would help them. However that would involve digestive issues but not other reactions or symptoms. What debilitating symptoms were you getting when you had homogenized butter?
