Guest guest Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 I did the same some time ago and there is science to back that claim. Here's one piece of evidence found: "Well, in 1981, Eli Hazum and his colleagues at Wellcome Research Laboratories in Research Triangle Park, N.C., reported a remarkable discovery. Analyzing samples of cow's milk, they found traces of a chemical that looked very much like morphine. They put it to one chemical test after another. And, finally, they arrived at the conclusion that, in fact, it is morphine. There is not a lot of it and not every sample had detectable levels. But there is indeed some morphine in both cow's milk and human milk." and... "Traces of morphine, along with codeine and other opiates, are apparently produced in cows' livers and can end up in their milk." My take on this is that while there is evidence of morphine in some milk it is likely quite small, and the residual LDN in one's system would block the opiates from having any noticeable effect on the individual's biology. LDN would probably not lose it's effectiveness, rather, the morphine's effect itself would be blocked. And certainly the amount of any morphine would never be equivalent to what would be given in surgery. Whey protein is without casein and would have no detectable level of morphine.

Years ago, I noticed that I had hugh cravings for cheese. I could not wait to get out of the grocery before I would start to rip open the package and eat chunks of the cheese as I walked to my car in the grocery parking lot. It was then that I looked on google and saw quite a bit of documentation on it. It was enough to make me pay attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 the problem is especially with the autists children is that when they get on ldn they become itchy because they do not get the opioide from the milk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 25, 2010 Report Share Posted February 25, 2010 Does anyone knows it applies only to cow milk or to goat milk as well ? What about cheese made from buffalo or sheep milk? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about cheese made from buffalo or sheep milk? Thanks. > The suspect protein (beta-casomorphin 7) is a " breakdown " product of casein, the milk protein. In the peptide chain that is casein, right at amino acid number 67 is where it breaks when it is digested; if amino acid number 67 is histidine, it's called " A1 milk. " If it's a proline, you get A2 milk. The milk you get from cows is a mix of A1 and A2 milk. Most cows produce mostly A1 milk; it's a genetic thing, and this is being screened for in New Zealand with one minor producer. Guernsey cows as well as almost every other species (goat, camel, human, etc.) produce A2 milk. In its digestion, A1 milk tends to produce BCM-7 which has an opioid effect. This is interesting as naltrexone toys with the opiate receptors; I don't know enough biochemistry in this field to understand exactly what the effects may be. Anyway- long story made short: if you have problems with BCM-7, then drink goat's milk, or the milk of non-cattle species, or the milk of Guernsey cows. For more info, read " Devil in the milk. " The data to support it are pretty weak, and clearly more research is called for. In the interim, it's naltrexone and careful selection of dairy items. We could change the entire situation in 2-3 generations of dairy cattle with some selective breeding, but the demand has to be there first.
