Goat Milk versus Cow Milk

When I was diagnosed with cancer one of the dietary one of the suggestions was that I use Goat Milk. Lots of positive reasons were given and so I complied. As I turn my diet around to 100% vegetarian plus Goat Milk and its products, no animal, fish or chicken products at all. I can feel the lump under my are is no worse, I am gaining weight and have good energy. There are many psychological challenges too. My continued use of tobacco through cigarettes.

I take 5 supplements: Vit Bs, D, Es, Magnesium and an anti- oxidant Resvaratrol. The Magnesium is to help my PH get to neutral between acid and alkaline. I have moved up to normal or near normal in about 3 months.

I am now juicing carrots every day and greens as well; wheat grass, kale, and beets, ginger, apple and orange. It is indeed a daily exploration to get the taste right for me but when I do it encourages me to try again. It tastes wonderful. I do the greens on their own and even them with an apple tastes ok.

I am not exercising enough but to move has always been a problem of mine. With the summer I will ride my bike and it will help I know. My 11 days of shooting at Weengushk Film Institute on Manitoulin Island, much of it working outside in below freezing weather improved my health by leaps and bounds.

The homeopathic medicines I am taking definitely have an effect which goes to my emotional core which of course is at the centre of me. My whole temperment changes to the better, to the positive side. I can feel that in this writing.

I do one visualization when I meditate in the morning. I cover myself in a stream of sparking white light and send it to my armpit. It goes inside and spreads its sparkles about encouraging my white blood cells as they enter the node. It is wonderful to watch and a few time now if it feels sore and it does sometimes I close my eyes and let my white sparking light go to the pain point and it is gone in a few seconds. Well that's what happens so who am I to argue about visualizations.

I am always reading and researching through trial and error to get myself in a totally good state to get rid of the swelling in my lymph node. the little cancer that I am dealing with.

I looked up some of the facts today wondering why it was that Goat Milk was suggested. From my personal experience with Goat Milk and its products and after reading the two articles below I conclude that were I to have children today they would only get Goats Milk to drink from crib to grave.

Here is what I read. The first is just goat facts and below it there is a link to an actual comparison between the goat and cow done by the US government

Alternative Medicine Angel This is a non-profit site offering educational information and broad based research on various health conditions, medications, supplements and therapies. In addition, this site provides information on how to naturally improve overall health, strengthen the immune system, and slow the aging process. There is a list of physicians who use alternative treatments, a newsletter and book review section, and a product guide. To access this site: Click on the link above or at the bottom of this page.

Goat Milk vs Cow Milk

· Nutrient content of goat milk is slightly less than cow milk but goat milk is more digestible because the fat molecules are one-fifth the size of those from cow milk -- making it easily tolerated by those with compromised digestive systems.

· Seventy-two percent of the milk used throughout the world is from goats. It is one-third richer than cows milk but more nourishing and easier to digest.

· The flavor of goat milk is comparable to that of cow milk. Goat milk has a milder taste.

· Goat milk has no cream separation because of smaller fat molecules.

· Goat milk contains pre-formed Vitamin A in the milk fat that allows it to be readily available for use by the body.

· Goats milk contains a more highly-evolved cholesterol than cows milk, making it more available for absorption to the brain and body. (Cholesterol is essential to the health of the myelin sheaths "white matter" of the nerves in the brain.)

· Goat milk is closer to human milk and is therefore easily accepted especially by those young or frail.

· Goat milk has an alkaline reaction the same as mother's milk. Cow milk has an acid reaction

· Goat milk does not form mucous (phlegm) and is therefore better tolerated by asthmatics and those with allergies.

· Goat milk contains more chlorine, fluorine and silicon than any other domestic livestock. Chlorine and fluorine are natural germicides and fluorine assists in preventing diabetes.

· Goat milk contains 2% curd, which precipitates in the stomach. Cows milk is 10% curd.

· Goats are naturally immune to diseases, such as tuberculosis, and are used in third-world countries to actually cure tuberculosis because of their
inherent antibodies. · Goats milk is tolerated by a compromised /damaged liver because of the smaller fat molecules and it's naturally homogenized. · Goats milk has the ability to "sweeten" the intestinal tract and assist with constipation. · Goats milk contains a higher evolved carotene (pro-Vitamin A). Researchers have found this to have cancer preventing properties

For those with belly fat and interested bystanders.

From Yahoo today.

In a world of processed foods and fatty snacks, there is much concern over weight gain and obesity. For those of us who tend to carry the weight in our stomach area, this makes you at a higher risk of having a heart attack or stroke.

For people with large bellies, their body often loses sensitivity to insulin, an important hormone that helps the body feel energized and burn energy. Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease occur because of too much bad cholesterol in their systems.

There are some key ways to reduce and lose belly fat:

Adhere to a low-calorie and moderate-fat diet to ensure that you stick with the program.
Eat
fish, nuts, avocados, and olive oil, which lower cholesterol and protect your body's joints.
Eat
high-calcium, non-fat dairy products to help reduce body fat.

Drink water to burn more stored fat in your body.

Avoid drinking carbonated drinks to reduce water retention and bloating that occurs because of the sodium content.

Reduce your portions of potatoes and pasta by half and substitute it with dark green vegetables.

Don't eat a large evening meal - the time of the day when you slowly become more sedentary.

Vary the amount of calories that are taken from day to day. This tricks your body into not having a chance to store fat.

Eat milk and cottage cheese that contain proteins that are slow burning and gives muscles a steady amount of amino acids used for fat burning.
