Re: Food allergies- was Raw milk sources-

[Guest guest]

> I still really need to see if I am sensitive to cow dairy

products....I guess since I never had a very blatant reaction to

dairy I never gave it much thought. After I started listening to all

the problems other folks have listed among various forums I

have really been trying to pay attention to my reactions.

-------------Try this: take your pulse and then drink a large serving

of only milk on an empty stomach in the morning. Then check

your pulse 15 min. after. If your pulse goes up 10+ beats/min.

this suggests a food sensitivity/allergy. I tried this with eggs

before I ever did the ELISA test (which showed a severe

sensitivity to eggs) and my pulse went up significantly. They also

say a major drop in pulse rate also indicates a problem with the

food. I never had blatant reactions, either. Just general bad

digestion, acne, headaches, fatigue... I never made a connection

to a specific food until I tested. Probably because I was eating so

many things that didn't agree with me. After eliminating these

foods, when I on the rare occasion eat a lot of one, I REALLY

notice a reaction.

> I am glad you are doing so well. Makes me feel very hopeful

that I can someday be 'normal' so to speak. I do want to start a

family pretty bad, but I am aware enough to know better then to

attempt it yet.

--------------I'm so glad I waited to start my family now. In a way, it

was a blessing that ill health and medications kept preventing

me from do so until I learned about the importance of prenatal

nutrition ala Weston Price. Even though I'm 34 and fears of

down syndrome babies plague my husband, I think I have a

much better chance of having a healthy baby eating well at this

age than I would have when I was younger and in ill health.

(Plus I tell him the chances don't even START to increase until

you hit 35, and then the increase is gradual... he's the

anxious/paranoid type though...maybe if he ascribed to NT he'd

worry less-- I know I feel like I have a lot more control over how

my baby turns out than I did before).

> If you are interested at all in chatting a bit more I wouldn't mind

discussing some of the goods and bads you have gone through

recently

---------I would love to hear more about your health ups and

downs as well. Would you prefer to do this in private emails

since it's somewhat personal? Either way is fine with me. I think

I've documented a lot of my health history on this group and the

nativefamilynutrition group already, so I have no qualms about

" letting it all hang out " :-) My regular email is

chavez515@.... Look forward to chatting,
