Re: Re: Does whey protein convert to morphine like cow cheese does?

[Guest guest]



When I used some milks, I used almond, hazelnut, liked hemp and yes all have some sugars, perhaps some less than others...I have no needs for milk now but do use a bit of 1/2 & 1/2 cream in my coffee two times per day...that's it. No other need for milks. I don't eat cereals so no need there. When I breakdown for whatever reason I use some goatmilk products.

Re: [low dose naltrexone] Re: Does whey protein convert to morphine like cow cheese does?Hi,Do you take LDN for MS? If so:Dr. Jelinek is a physician who has MS. He developed a good MS diet which has helped him and his patients immensely. It is somewhat like Dr. Swank's low fat MS diet. Dr. Swank allows non-fat milk products or no more than two servings of milk products containing 1% fat a day. He believes high saturated fat diets are HORRIBLE for MS patients. I must agree, as I have been mostly on his diet for 23 years and have done quite well with my MS. When I go off of the diet because I'm feeling so good and so "normal", I always have a relapse. FYI, Dr. Swank does allow gluten in the diet.His website is: http://www.swankmsdiet.org/Now back to Dr. Jelinek... he believes in cutting out all cows milk due to molecular mimicry. I copied the following information from his website:There has been long-standing opinion that cow’s milk consumption has a role to play in the development of MS. Recent high quality epidemiological work strongly reinforces those views.1,2 These researchers found a very high correlation between cow’s milk consumption and MS all around the world. Laboratory work from Germany and Canada now provides a possible explanation of why this may be so. 3,4 A number of cow’s milk proteins have been shown to be targeted by the immune cells of people with MS. Further injecting them into experimental animals has caused lesions to appear in the central nervous system of the animals. Other researchers have demonstrated how certain proteins in cow’s milk mimic part of myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein, the part of myelin thought to initiate the autoimmune reaction in MS.5Here is his web address if you are interested in reading more: http://www.takingcontrolofmultiplesclerosis.org/index.php?mode=Cows_Milk_ConnectionDr. Jelinek also defends the eating of gluten through several interesting studies and continues to eat foods containing gluten in his MS diet.I know each person is different and you must find the diet that works the best for you. I eat a very low fat diet, I eat foods containing gluten and occasionally have skim milk or 1% ice cream/yogurt. I don't eat cheese. I think it's a good idea to avoid cow's milk or at least stick with non-fat milk products regardless of how milk interacts with LDN. It seems a diet high in dairy is not good regarding MS.AnitaOn Feb 24, 2010, at 6:05 AM, RemoteVwraol wrote:> Help!! This is the first time I have ever heard about dairy turning > into morphine.
