milk

[Guest guest]

All I have to share is that often times the food someone most craves is what they are allergic to... there's a man who did a book titled "Diet for a Lifetime" (not focused at all on Special Needs) who mentioned that in illustrating an example.

Evening,

I have a concern about my two and a half year old son. His sister has aspergers ¨[alomst 5¨] and he is being assessed for PDD-NOS. My question is about his appetite for milk. He is demanding 3-4 litres per day, and lot's of water, juice etc.I switched him from lactose free to soya about a month ago. I also add a pro-biotic powder. I have tried doing some research and have come across info about leaky gut and cerebral allergy to milk. To be honest it's a little overwhelming. Has anyone experienced this? He still wants to eat food. So long as it's white, soft and carb based. He is also obsessed with tv.

Hi,

Your son obviously have the caseomorphin reaction to milk products.

(Thats where partially digested milk protein is seen by the brain as a

kind of drug that makes him feel " high " . The first really really

really important thing to do is get him on the casein-free,

gluten-free diet. Do it slowly. There is a great website by talk

about curing autism address: www.tacanow.org They explain all about

food reactions, the gfcf diet and how important it is for recovery

along with all you want to know about biomedical, vitamins, probiotics

and case history information. And it is all free. Please take the

time to go there. It will help you find focus and center your program

with your son and your daughter. You will also find links to

everything from groups like this to other treatments for aspergers and

pdd-nos like mb12, hyperbaric oxygen treatments and lots and lots of

stuff and support. Good luck and remember the best treatment is to go

slowly, set your course and do not be dissuaded by anyone who says

your children can not be recovered. There are thousands who are

recovering. We just need to do what's good for them, and do it now.

God Bless and good luck.

Dear Lynda,

Both the casein in the milk and the gluten in the carbs are addictive (an understatement). They go right for the endorphin receptors (just like heroin).

Soy milk is, unfortunately, not a good choice, especially for a little boy.

This is from Genet's autism list where the question was asked on soy:

And don't panic, a month on soy isn't that long. You can make your own nut milks at home. If you want to know how, email me. We've all been overwhelmed (sometimes daily!).

Sincerely,

Francine, info on soy below:

SOY DANGERS: * High levels of phytic acid in soy reduce assimilation of calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and zinc. Phytic acid in soy is not neutralized by ordinary preparation methods such as soaking, sprouting and long, slow cooking. High phytate diets have caused growth problems in children. * Trypsin inhibitors in soy interfere with protein digestion and may cause pancreatic orders. In test animals soy containing trypsin inhibitors caused stunted growth. * Soy phytoestrogens disrupt endocrine function and have the potential to cause infertility and to promote breast cancer in adult women. * Soy phytoestrogens are potent antithyroid agents that cause hypothyroidism and may cause thyroid cancer. In infants, consumption of soy formula has been linked to autoimmune thyroid disease. * Vitamin B12 analogs in soy are not absorbed and actually increase the body’s requirement for B12. * Soy foods increase the body’s requirement for vitamin D. * Fragile proteins are denatured during high temperature processing to make soy protein isolate and textured vegetable protein. * Processing of soy protein results in the formation of toxic lysinoalanine and highly carcinogenic nitrosamines. * Free glutamic acid or MSG, a potent neurotoxin, is formed during soy food processing and added to many soy foods. * Soy foods contain high levels of aluminum which is toxic to the nervous system and the kidneys. SOY INFANT FORMULA — BIRTH CONTROL PILLS FOR BABIES * Babies fed soy-based formula have 13,000 to 22,000 times more estrogen compounds in their blood than babies fed milk-based formula. * Infants exclusively fed soy formula receive the estrogenic equivalent of at least five birth control pills per day. * Male infants undergo a “testosterone surge†during the first few months of life, when testosterone levels may be as high as those of an adult male. During this period, baby boys are programmed to express male characteristics after puberty, not only in the development of their sexual organs and other masculine physical traits, but also in setting patterns in the brain characteristic of male behavior. * Pediatricians are noticing greater numbers of boys whose physical maturation is delayed, or does not occur at all, including lack of development of the sexual organs. Learning disabilities, especially in male children, have reached epidemic proportions. * Soy infant feeding—which floods the bloodstream with female hormones that inhibit testosterone—cannot be ignored as a possible cause for these tragic developments. In animals, soy feeding indicates that phytoestrogens in soy are powerful endocrine disrupters. * Almost 15 percent of white girls and 50 percent of African-American girls show signs of puberty such as breast development and pubic hair, before the age of eight. Some girls are showing sexual development before the age of three. Premature development of girls has been linked to the use of soy formula and exposure to environmental estrogens such as PCBs and DDE.

When kids crave milk and carbs they are usually sensitive to milk and

wheat (casein and gluten) like a drug. It literally creates an opiate

effect in their brain. Soy, unfortunately is very similar to regular

milk. When we removed my son's food allergies (which he craved), his

issues became so much more minor that his therapies could actually

work. Yes, at first it is overwhelming. It quickly becomes 2nd

nature, and for us the improvements were sooooo worth any hassle.

Find someone who does it to " walk you through " the steps. There are

plenty of websites on it, if you want a list I can email some to you.

Sometimes you just have to DO it, one small step at a time.

Wow, as an infant, I did breast feed my daughter for a year. But when I had

mixed milk baby formula into her baby cereal, it ran down her chin and

turned her chin red. The Peds said she's probably allergic and give her soy

formula. So, I did until she was like 3! Then we tried cow milk and she

didn't seem to be allergic and that was that.

This was over 13 years ago as my girl is 16 now. But all this I did

waaaaaaay before I knew any better and sadly, she had her shots and all,

too.

Thank you for this . He is now demanding lot's of soya but not as much as the lactose free. I am now reading a great book called 'Gut and Psychology Syndrome'. It's very interesting.

I have been giving my son soy for a while now. He has improved

greatly over the last couple months through a combination of

therapies-avoiding lactose as one of them. As soy milk is costly, a

Chinese friend of mine has loaned me a home soy milk maker. I am

planning on buying one next week, and I will let you guys know how it

goes.

Hi, I'm new to the group. In fact, I should probably do an intro

post. But my son is two (just turned on August 30) and he's suspected

of being on the spectrum. (We're still waiting for an official

diagnosis.) Needless to say, I've been reading like mad, because I

started out with NO knowledge of autism at all!

From what I've read, there's no Scientific Evidence for the Opiates

theory. But apparently, some kids with Autism drink a TON of fluids -

even to the point of drinking so much that they puke. That can be

bad, so you should limit his fluids to some extent. (As much as

possible.) But get this - even with odd restricted diets, most kids

with Autism do NOT develop malnutrition!

And I have some ideas about making white purees more varied. Beans

(navy, great northern, other white ones) are easy to puree. If he

likes bananas (and ONLY if he likes them, because he WILL taste them),

they can be mixed in and still make the food white if you have enough

other stuff. Cauliflower, parsnips (they are YUMMY!), apples, all

sorts of grains like Quinoa and Millet and spelt, potatoes and rice.

The rice (and potatoes) could be boiled/steamed in chicken soup broth

- if it's homemade, you can throw all SORTS of veggies in, and it's

still a white puree. Onions - grate them - YUM! Garlic, too. Heck,

radishes are white if you skip the red part. The white part of

scallions. Parsley root. Isn't fennel white? Rutabagas (never had

them, but I want to try them). Pears. Chicken and pork can be pureed

and it's still white.

I wonder how much of his milk consumption is simple hunger. If his

white purees are mostly carbs, they're probably going right through

him. Now I'm HOPING that he loves all sorts of flavors, and it's just

different TEXTURES (and colors) that he hates. If so, throwing a few

of those things into his diet should work. If not, then you have your

work cut out for you. (BTW, coconut is also white - YUM!) My son

LOVES the flavor of onions, but if they're not grated, he spits them

out because he doesn't like the texture.

HTH! Anyone else have white food ideas?

The type of milk that you give a child can make a huge difference. When I switched our son from pastuerized grocery store milk to whole-fat REAL milk that I bought directly from a farmer (it is called " raw " milk - not pastuerized - like how people have been drinking milk for thousands of years until " industrialized food " ), our son made HUGE changes in personality, in his bowel movements, in his over all health. We actually switched to raw goat milk and the changes were SO dramatic that his teachers phoned us asking us if we had put him on psychotropics. There's NOTHING that will give you the nutrition of REAL milk - milk that has been taken from an animal - cow or goat - that has been living out in the pasture, eaten lots of grass (passing along the right balance of essentially fatty acids which are essential to brain and nervous system development), instead of factory-farmed milk where cows (ruminants) are forced to eat grain and seldom ever get into the sun. Don't go for then nut milks - they're not even in the same ballpark for nutrition.

It isn't milk or wheat that is the problem - BUT, it is HOW the milk or wheat has been raised or produced. If you're feeding your son wheat bread that is made using your basic baker's yeast - where the flour is taken directly out of the bag, mixed with liquids/yeast, and then only left to rise for a couple hours?? That's the unhealthy kind of wheat. We use recipes and ideas from Nourishing Traditions which is loaded with awesome information on how to make/find REAL food - not processed, not chemicals, not pasteurized, and not fed wrong!! I have a small nutrition group with other mothers of special needs children and we talk about nutrition, foods, and diets ALL the time if you want to come on over and join us. Just give me a yell.........

He is demanding 3-4 litres per day, and lot's of water, juice etc.I switched him from lactose free to soya about a month ago. I also add a pro-biotic powder. I have tried doing some research and have come across info about leaky gut and cerebral allergy to milk. To be honest it's a little overwhelming. Has anyone experienced this? He still wants to eat food. So long as it's white, soft and carb based. He is also obsessed with tv.

Cheers,

Dear Sharon,

I'm so glad you're able to get milk that is so far superior to the store stuff. While you are definitely right that raw milk is far superior to pasteurized, and goat's milk far closer to human milk than cow's, it is the peptide molecule in the casein and the gluten that goes for the endorphin receptors in the brain, thereby blocking them and interfering with the immune system.

My kids drank only raw goat's milk, and yet it was when we became vegan -- and stopped milk -- that it tipped my daughter into well.

I have heard other parents say raw milk is tolerable too, so it's great that you've had improvement.

Homemade nut and/or seed milks do have fine nutrition -- homemade! -- and taste delicious. I've been making such great yoghurt, 'cheese'/kefir from raw sunflower seeds.

I do remember too how superior raw goat's milk is to any cow's milk, especially pasteurized. Pasteurization is a process that kills the phosphotase enzyme -- as well as all others -- making the calcium unavailable (except to kidneys and joints!). In addition, it is debatable whether the large cow's milk calcium molecule (used to grow a 1000 lb. calf) works for any child or adult.

Sincerely,

Francine

The type of milk that you give a child can make a huge difference. When I switched our son from pastuerized grocery store milk to whole-fat REAL milk that I bought directly from a farmer (it is called "raw" milk - not pastuerized - like how people have been drinking milk for thousands of years until "industrialized food"), our son made HUGE changes in personality, in his bowel movements, in his over all health. We actually switched to raw goat milk and the changes were SO dramatic that his teachers phoned us asking us if we had put him on psychotropics. There's NOTHING that will give you the nutrition of REAL milk - milk that has been taken from an animal - cow or goat - that has been living out in the pasture, eaten lots of grass (passing along the right balance of essentially fatty acids which are essential to brain and nervous system development), instead of factory-farmed milk where cows (ruminants) are forced to eat grain and seldom ever get into the sun. Don't go for then nut milks - they're not even in the same ballpark for nutrition. It isn't milk or wheat that is the problem - BUT, it is HOW the milk or wheat has been raised or produced. If you're feeding your son wheat bread that is made using your basic baker's yeast - where the flour is taken directly out of the bag, mixed with liquids/yeast, and then only left to rise for a couple hours?? That's the unhealthy kind of wheat. We use recipes and ideas from Nourishing Traditions which is loaded with awesome information on how to make/find REAL food - not processed, not chemicals, not pasteurized, and not fed wrong!! I have a small nutrition group with other mothers of special needs children and we talk about nutrition, foods, and diets ALL the time if you want to come on over and join us. Just give me a yell.........Sharon

There is a lot of evidence for the 'opiate theory'. Dr. McCandless doesn't want a child using LDN without being both gluten free and dairy free.

I heard so many parents report a huge change when becoming cf/gf, and sometimes soy free and corn free (both are genetically modified).

She has a very comprehensive book out: Children With Starving Brains.

p.s. We make a lot of purees too!

Hi, I'm new to the group. In fact, I should probably do an intropost. But my son is two (just turned on August 30) and he's suspectedof being on the spectrum. (We're still waiting for an officialdiagnosis.) Needless to say, I've been reading like mad, because Istarted out with NO knowledge of autism at all!From what I've read, there's no Scientific Evidence for the Opiatestheory. But apparently, some kids with Autism drink a TON of fluids -even to the point of drinking so much that they puke. That can bebad, so you should limit his fluids to some extent. (As much aspossible.) But get this - even with odd restricted diets, most kidswith Autism do NOT develop malnutrition!And I have some ideas about making white purees more varied. Beans(navy, great northern, other white ones) are easy to puree. If helikes bananas (and ONLY if he likes them, because he WILL taste them),they can be mixed in and still make the food white if you have enoughother stuff. Cauliflower, parsnips (they are YUMMY!), apples, allsorts of grains like Quinoa and Millet and spelt, potatoes and rice. The rice (and potatoes) could be boiled/steamed in chicken soup broth- if it's homemade, you can throw all SORTS of veggies in, and it'sstill a white puree. Onions - grate them - YUM! Garlic, too. Heck,radishes are white if you skip the red part. The white part ofscallions. Parsley root. Isn't fennel white? Rutabagas (never hadthem, but I want to try them). Pears. Chicken and pork can be pureedand it's still white.I wonder how much of his milk consumption is simple hunger. If hiswhite purees are mostly carbs, they're probably going right throughhim. Now I'm HOPING that he loves all sorts of flavors, and it's justdifferent TEXTURES (and colors) that he hates. If so, throwing a fewof those things into his diet should work. If not, then you have yourwork cut out for you. (BTW, coconut is also white - YUM!) My sonLOVES the flavor of onions, but if they're not grated, he spits themout because he doesn't like the texture.HTH!

Can you get it unsweetened and from brown rice in the UK? And if gmo is going on there too, it should be organic. There is a machine that lets you make your own from whatever bean or grain. It cooks it, then makes the milk.

My feeling is that having something fresh with the enzymes intact is really important for our kids, especially those with gut problems.

I'm big on nut or seed milks, which can be made fresh, and if from raw seeds or nuts has the enzymes. With a good blender (especially the vitamix), it's done in a snap. If you're wanting calcium, almonds are a good choice. Just don't use US almonds, as they are being treated.

If you want/need more detailed discussion, let me know.

Dear Lynda,

Both the casein in the milk and the gluten in the carbs are addictive (an understatement) . They go right for the endorphin receptors (just like heroin).

Soy milk is, unfortunately, not a good choice, especially for a little boy.

This is from Genet's autism list where the question was asked on soy:

And don't panic, a month on soy isn't that long. You can make your own nut milks at home. If you want to know how, email me. We've all been overwhelmed (sometimes daily!).

Sincerely,

Francine, info on soy below:

SOY DANGERS: * High levels of phytic acid in soy reduce assimilation of calcium, magnesium, copper, iron and zinc. Phytic acid in soy is not neutralized by ordinary preparation methods such as soaking, sprouting and long, slow cooking. High phytate diets have caused growth problems in children. * Trypsin inhibitors in soy interfere with protein digestion and may cause pancreatic orders. In test animals soy containing trypsin inhibitors caused stunted growth. * Soy phytoestrogens disrupt endocrine function and have the potential to cause infertility and to promote breast cancer in adult women. * Soy phytoestrogens are potent antithyroid agents that cause hypothyroidism and may cause thyroid cancer. In infants, consumption of soy formula has been linked to autoimmune thyroid disease. * Vitamin B12 analogs in soy are not absorbed and actually increase the body’s requirement for B12. * Soy foods increase the body’s requirement for vitamin D. * Fragile proteins are denatured during high temperature processing to make soy protein isolate and textured vegetable protein. * Processing of soy protein results in the formation of toxic lysinoalanine and highly carcinogenic nitrosamines. * Free glutamic acid or MSG, a potent neurotoxin, is formed during soy food processing and added to many soy foods. * Soy foods contain high levels of aluminum which is toxic to the nervous system and the kidneys. SOY INFANT FORMULA — BIRTH CONTROL PILLS FOR BABIES * Babies fed soy-based formula have 13,000 to 22,000 times more estrogen compounds in their blood than babies fed milk-based formula. * Infants exclusively fed soy formula receive the estrogenic equivalent of at least five birth control pills per day. * Male infants undergo a “testosterone surge†during the first few months of life, when testosterone levels may be as high as those of an adult male. During this period, baby boys are programmed to express male characteristics after puberty, not only in the development of their sexual organs and other masculine physical traits, but also in setting patterns in the brain characteristic of male behavior. * Pediatricians are noticing greater numbers of boys whose physical maturation is delayed, or does not occur at all, including lack of development of the sexual organs. Learning disabilities, especially in male children, have reached epidemic proportions. * Soy infant feeding—which floods the bloodstream with female hormones that inhibit testosterone—cannot be ignored as a possible cause for these tragic developments. In animals, soy feeding indicates that phytoestrogens in soy are powerful endocrine disrupters. * Almost 15 percent of white girls and 50 percent of African-American girls show signs of puberty such as breast development and pubic hair, before the age of eight. Some girls are showing sexual development before the age of three. Premature development of girls has been linked to the use of soy formula and exposure to environmental estrogens such as PCBs and DDE.

Welcome ! You should know that, unfortunately, it is considered illegal for

someone to bring raw milk to you. Currently, the sale is to take place at the

farm. There is an active bill in the MN legislature, both House and Senate that

would allow for farmers to deliver or for individuals to do such a carpooling

effort. If you want to get involved, you should check out Minnesota Natural

Health Legal Reform Project's website at MNHLRP.org for more information and

contact your legislators to let them know you support this bill.

Thanks for the info Kathy! Like I said I'm new to this, but it doesn't take

long to figure out that the laws are not the way they should be to say the

least. I'll check out the web site and write a letter or make a call. I look

forward to meeting some new friends soon and learning more about healthy living

in Minnesota. Thanks again

This lack of access to local food is what our regulators (FDA, MDA, etc) are

trying to hold on to as we consumers become more educated about our rights.

Legal reform is a long-term plan to change of eliminate statutes that are put in

place to interfere with our constitutional rights in the name of food safety.

Safe food is killing us. If you want access to local farm connections, email us

at Freedom Farms Coop. We have a legal process of reconnecting with our sources

of high quality, fresh, local, unprocessed food. Will we continue to have

challenges? Of course, but what is the alternative - to live with fear and

resentment of our government? We need to understand that big business and

government are really commingled to the point where we can't see the difference.

The answer is in the power of choice and in our priorities. The food swap at the

Honeymoon creamery yesterday was a good example of the complacency of most of

our healthy food consumers. Of course there was a degree of new interest, but we

should have had 150 families there instead of 15. These young farmers have their

lives invested in producing medicinal quality food, and we don't have time to

support them. Do you want more? Do you want the food options that we thought we

had at the Trad Foods Warehouse? Stand up for your rights. Go ahead and write

your rep or senator, but more importantly, write your check for food to a

farmer. Not Whole Foods!

Yes! Well said!

I was at the Honeymoon Creamery potluck yesterday - happy to be there, but

thinking there should be way more people attending.

Hey Will,

Why are you now pushing pasteurized milk? These farms milk may be a decent

alternative to real milk but there are MANY farmers out there who supply real

milk. And pasteurized is pasteurized. Does not matter to many if it is done at

145 for 30 minutes or 212 for 15 seconds, dead is dead.

It is NOT illegal to purchase milk in this state and you do know that. The

customer has to go to the farm to do it. There are many people on this list who

do that so their families have good and nutritious food, not pasteurized stuff.

Alvins coop and my dairy share thing are operating in grey areas until the state

either changes legislation or a court decides on it. So far, Alvin is the

trooper leading that battle. I hope people have not forgotten how much crap he

has personally gone thru to get food to them.

And where is it stated that we can not advertise raw milk or other farm

products? Yeah, we may be opening up to the state as to what we are doing but

at the same time, our animals do need to get fed. Or are our animals not worth

as much as a state inspected dairy? If that is the route we should go then the

legislation should be pushed to get farms certified for raw milk sales in

stores. Just like California.

I would LOVE to have my dairy get up to par in " cool " time saving equipment,

bulk tanks, barn cleaners (that don't get hourly wages), a bottling system,

washing system, etc. And I would not mind having an inspector come in to insure

it was being done properly. Currently I have had to learn how to rebuild

pulsators, scrub my own lines, brush my own animals, clean the barn with a

shovel or pitch fork, fix my own fences, etc!

This fear is crazy and stupid. It is going to put the remaining farmers out

there who have tasty animals and milk out of biz because we are simply going to

get sick and tired of this " have to meet in the back alley " mentality. We are

not drug dealers and I resent that idea. In fact, I think I will raise my

prices 10 fold to anyone who insinuates that about any of my products.

And no, I am not looking to move more milk. I took my last two customers in

today and won't have any extra until at least a month when babies start

arriving.

Raw milk is out there, and plenty of it. It may be harder to find and you may

have to do some work to get it, but it does exist.

>

> Great question Yael, one that most of us have as well. Trouble is, no one can

overtly offer raw milk right now, the legal atmosphere against raw milk farmers

has never been nastier than the current situation. Everything is frozen into a

lock-down situation right now until we get a change. It's awful.

>

> We can, however, steer you towards the next best thing, and it's good, that

being certified organic, grade A, unhomogenized, lightly-pateurized wholesome

milk. That would primarily be Castle Rock Creamery and Cedar Summit Farms.

Always get whole milk (and cream and butter) and always take some for making

your own yogurt and kefir. That gets some life back into it (not that it's

completely dead).

Yael- and all,

Please know that there are many farmers here in Mn that can legally sell you the

raw dairy you are seeking. Many of them are here on this board and are very

treasured as not only farmers but also as close friends. Because the state has

chosen to target raw dairy farmers, we as customers and friends feel it

necessarily to protect our sources. Unfortunately that means that it may be a

little harder for people to find this nourishing food. I strongly urge you to

keep searching though. Make connections, attend events and invest yourself intto

the mission of supporting small local farms. You will find what you are looking

for, it may just take some time.

For the many people who realize the benefits of fresh, unprocessed dairy, and

who either can't consume pasteurized products or prefer the real deal, it's

important to note that nothing has changed in the laws in MN, which is one of 15

states where it is legal to be obtained at the farm.  We need to support all our

farmers.  We need all of you!  We also need to get going on asking our state

legislators (in the MN House and Senate) to support the Raw Milk Access Bill, SF

147 and HF 255, which is still alive in the state legislature.  The MN

legislature resumes the second half of its 2-yr session in a few weeks, so NOW

is a great time to talk to and meet with your senator and rep.  The beauty of

this bill is that it allows farmers of fresh, unprocessed dairy products the

freedom to deliver their products to their customers – just like any CSA – to

homes, buying clubs, etc.  It supports food freedom and grass-based farming. 

Speak up now for food freedom.
