Re: Enzymes etc

[Guest guest]

Hi Kate,

i've been meaning to post about this anyway, but over on rawdairy

someone posted maybe a week or so ago an article about soil

organisms, which is where our healthy gut bacteria come from anyway,

and how healing they are. they help us digest, they help heal our

bodies from manifold diseases, and they help us with allergies and

food sensitivities.

the article *IS* kind of an ad to sell soil organisms (i'm going to

order some), but they say the same thing (plus more info) that jordan

rubin says in his books (such as the Makers Diet, his latest).

and i do buy the Garden of Life Primal Defense, which the HSO's

(homeostatic soil organisms) that saved his life (he tells this story

of how he was near death in all 3 of his books when he started taking

the hso's). and as i result i *DO* handle milk much better now; no

more gas and diarrhea. it's really a huge difference. so for the

skeptical, there definitely is something to this.

here's the article:

i have actually been wondering, and i'm mentally preparing for y'all

to jump on me here, whether all the problems a lot of us seem to have

with gluten and casein might be helped if not solved by soil

organisms.

how else does that explain why our ancestors seemed to handle them

fine in wapf type communities. i know, the gluten and casein might

be diff. now than they were then from overbreeding or whatever, but

this theory makes a LOT of sense to me.
