arthritis and Milk

[Guest guest]

Morning Marianne,

 

I know that arthritis is a bad think. I have younger and older friends that

have it.

 

In all cases, whereas I have known these people for years, they have been

total idiots relative to life style and eating habits.

While I would agree with some of your suggestions to help these

disastrous conditions, I think it is

wrong to believe that any one thing can effect the cause or the reversal of

any condition.

 

In rare cases it might be possible.

 

Relative to the dairy products suggestions..........

 

I have used all the milk I wanted over my entire lifetime. In my 20's

and 30's. this included

drinking up to one gallon of milk per day. During some of those years, I

would eat six eggs per day, some of them raw.

 

When traveling, to avoid the greasy spoon restaurants, I would go into a

grocery store, get a container of cottage cheese, crackers, and milk.

 

Glory be ! at age 64, I have no arthritis, no aches, no pains, and feel

I have beat the American odds by 10,000,000 to one. Maybe slightly less.

<grin>

 

I have never had a broken bone, even after falling out of trees and

minor automobile and motorcycles wrecks. That is, ...... if can call

rolling an automobile 3 times a minor accident.

 

Surely you have read the 1929 article from the Mayo Foundation about

milk. Seems a group of doctors used milk only to treat all kinds of

ailments, and every single one improved.

 

Of course this was not the kind of milk we have today.

 

Yes, I have read dozens of article relative to milk and calcium causing

all kinds of problems.

 

One example,

 

I have a friend that I met at a health in the early 70's. At that time,

he held a strong man record in my home state of Mississippi. I was amazed

to find out that he could not drink milk. Now..... some 32 years later he

has had heart attacks and is not in the best of health.

 

Milk did him no good and did me no harm. Again, I realize that everyone

is different.

 

I see so many messages, and people ask me for solutions, wanting a quick

fix and a single recommendation for an ailment.

 

Sometimes us health nuts and Alternative people have become just like

the mainstream people.

Maybe their thinking has rubbed off on us.

 

There is no free lunch, no quick fix, no single cause for an aliment.

 

We have to climb the long steep hill and never let up to stay

healthy. Not one, but thousands of things contribute to hour success or

failure.

 

I have been up one hour. Already had 2000 mg of C, 800 mg of potassium,

and at least a dozen other nutrients, and have eaten nothing yet. Only

water with powdered supplements.

 

I did have a protein drink late last night with 16 ounces of milk. (

sorry about that ) <grin>

 

One of the wisest men I have know on this earth, a scholar in world

history, religion, nutrition, and chess, stated, " after we eat what we

need, we can eat anything we damn well please " .
