Sustained fractured pelvis and ribs in road accident-2011:
was prescribed PROLIA:
have had (3)injectionns: am not keen to continue!!
Have visited your website and heard your video:
your formulations resonated with me!
Thankyou for your reseach.

I am an elder: almost blind: slender purse.

HAIKU, from the ZEN tradition is my spiritual discipline:
it requires me to formulate, condense and convey, the quintessential nature of my experiences into no more than seventeen syllables.

For my bones sake, would you email me just the ‘quintessentials’ you deem necessary, to rid the organism of PROLIA and re-start a formerly healthy immune system?

most cordially,
KPB.

I think what he means by 99% gorilla is that our DNA is 99% similar to that of a gorilla’s DNA (human genome project I believe). Obviously there are a ton of differences between the two species so this comment makes little to no sense. I think they also found that our DNA is 95% similar to that of a banana’s DNA as well.

Anyone else find it interesting that this article quotes scientists and scientific studies, but leaves no sources? No bibliography? On top of being unreliable, that’s also plagiarism – nice job.
What a load of bullocks.
Here’s a peer reviewed article that reviews most of the studies listed above:
http://jn.nutrition.org/content/133/3/862S.long

The coveted 12 year nurses study this author mentions and puts such faith in is mentioned in the above article.
There is suggestion that in some women this is possible, but again, due to conflicting studies, the information is considered inconclusive. Keep in mind as well, that you can create blood ph from animal AND plant proteins. The hippies like to leave that part out.

Again, as mentioned in many journals, and due to conflicting research, the link between lactose (specifically galactose) and cancer is also inconclusive. Find this article:

^ Genkinger, Jeanine M., Hunter, David J., Spiegelman, Donna, Anderson, Kristin E., Arslan, Alan, Beeson, W. Lawrence, Buring, Julie E., Fraser, Gary E., Freudenheim, Jo L., Goldbohm, R. Alexandra, Hankinson, Susan E., Jacobs, David R., Jr., Koushik, Anita, Lacey, James V., Jr., Larsson, Susanna C., Leitzmann, Michael, McCullough, Marji L., Miller, Anthony B., Rodriguez, Carmen, Rohan, Thomas E., Schouten, Leo J., Shore, Roy, Smit, Ellen, Wolk, Alicja, Zhang, Shumin M., Smith-Warner, Stephanie A. (2006). “Dairy Products and Ovarian Cancer: A Pooled Analysis of 12 Cohort Studies”. Cancer Epidemiol Biomarkers Prev 15 (2): 364–372. doi:10.1158/1055-9965.EPI-05-0484. PMID 16492930.

You can just simply read whatever some animal rights hippies write on the internet, or, you can learn some basic scientific skills for yourself, and go through a journal database online or at a university and make your own informed decision. What is sad is most of the people on here are making all of these uninformed opinions about milk and they don’t even know the science behind any of it. How many people reading this even know that lactose is a disaccharide sugar? No wonder Hitler had such an easy time convincing people it was communists who burnt down the Reichstag.

This might shed some light on how important animal protein food source is.

Drink plenty of broths from animal bones if you want strong bones and make sure to get plenty of Vit. D from the sun. If sunshine is not available, there’s fermented cod liver oil. And don’t forget the saturated fats because calcium, magnesium and Vit. D are fat soluble. Without this co-factor, the minerals won’t be properly utilized by the body.
Raw milk is a great food for your bones as well.

No we are not 99% same gorilla. Apparently, you have no idea of how a gorilla’s digestive organ looks like and how it works.

‘A cholesterol level of 128′ is very low and not really healthy especially for a 60 yr. old person.
I would never touch soy and its by-products unless properly prepared like tempeh, miso, natto and tamari. Soy is not a healthfood. It’s loaded with anti-nutrients: phytic acid, lectins, plant estrogens, etc.
Raw milk from healthy pastured (grass-fed)animals is the real deal. It is bio-available and is a perfect food in itself.
The author should actually mention whether processed milk or raw/real milk was used for the study. There is a big difference between the two.

Hi
I really enjoyed reading your article.
I have been a vegan for over 30 years. I became a vegan due to health reasons and since then have never had to visit a doctor. I do follow a healthy diet, (mainly organic and farmers market) but it seems to have been worth it.
I have always maintained that we do not need animal milk. I have read that once we have stopped weaning we no longer have the renet needed to digest milk and allowing it to coagulate.
I would love to have a survey amongst vegans to see if they have good health
