Thanks, . I'm already doing C for other stuff, pretty sure I've

got the B5 in some other thing or other, but will check.

Okay, I guess I've got that covered too, sometimes it seems like my entire

life revolves around raw milk. It's going to take a while to get my

adrenals back up to snuff, along with other things, but so far it seems

like once that's done, I can get off the Cortine and just keep eating the

way I already do. Long way down the road, but it's best to be prepared,

eh?

Thank you!

Okay. I have to say it: What if a person has a " true " milk allergy, no

stomach acid and adrenal/thyroid insufficiencies? Is there Anything that

comes close to replacing the wonderful benefits of raw milk or am I, and

those like me, doomed? When people say " raw animal fat " what else can that

mean? I should buy suet and munch it down? Another kind of lard? I eat A Lot

of Fat already, especially coconut oil and raw egg yolks, but I have to

balance that occupation with the consideration that I have a liver working

overtime as a result of so many other health issues...

Fat is extra work for the liver so I want to make sure it's the right kind

of fat and the right percentage of daily calories/grams of

fat/protein/carbohydrates .. whatever. Any ideas? P l e a s e h e l p

I'm not one of those that is convinced people need a LOT of fat ...

there are people who are healthy on low fat AND high fat diets, ala

Price. But, one way to get " raw fat " that is really tasty is with

truly fermented sausages (old style pepperoni, salami) or to make

something like lardo (which I do, it IS tasty and makes a great

cheese substitute for some applications). I tend to trust " meat fat "

more than " milk fat " mainly for paleo reasons, and because it sets

with me better. I use a lot of coconut oil though too, and bacon fat

for cooking.

My take on adrenal problems is that they are *caused* by things

that stimulate cortisol production, like food allergies. The Warrior Diet

idea works for me ... give everything a rest for some good long period

daily. I can't eat dairy either, but most of the thyroid/adrenal type things

have stabilized over the last couple of years. Getting lots of sleep

and exercise help too.

I have no idea whether raw milk is of any real use in this sense other than

as a source of fat, but coconut oil is great, raw ruminant liver is great,

particularly for people with fatigue problems, raw yolks can be great...

None of Price's healthy natives ate what we'd consider a low-fat diet.
