Researchers have announced that long-term sufferers of chronic
rhinosinusitis (or just "sinusitis" for short) can be helped by a
surgical procedure that can be performed on an outpatient basis. That's
great new, but the real story is that most sufferers of chronic sinus
conditions could be free of all symptoms through dietary changes alone.
The primarily culprit? Cow's milk. Cow's milk produces a strong allergic
response in the human body -- especially adults -- which results in the
body creating layers of mucous in order to protect itself from the
substance. This protective response by the body is frequently diagnosed
as asthma or sinus infections. It becomes "chronic" when people continue
to drink cow's milk and consume dairy products on a daily basis.
Removing cow's milk from the diet reverses these symptoms in the vast
majority of people, although it often takes 30 days or more for the
symptoms to disappear completely. That's right: people who have been
diagnosed with asthma are often suffering from nothing more than an
allergic response to milk.
So why does cow's milk cause such
troubling health effects in the first place? The answer is simple: cow's
milk is baby food for calves. When humans drink it, they are consuming a
cross-species liquid that isn't meant for humans and especially isn't
meant for adults. Baby cows thrive on the liquid, but humans do very
poorly on it. That's because cow's milk is nutritionally imbalanced for
human consumption: it has proteins that are difficult to digest, it's
low in brain-boosting essential fatty acids like GLA, it's low in
important minerals like magnesium, and virtually every single gallon of
non-organic milk purchased in the United States is contaminated with
pus. That's right: pus is allowed in cow's milk you buy at the grocery
store. Tests show that the levels of pus in cow's milk routinely exceed
those allowed by federal law. Also found in cow's milk: blood, hormones,
bacteria and of course homogenized milk fats due to the processing of
milk.
There's a lot more to the story on milk, but you get the idea:
cow's milk is bad for humans. People with chronic sinus conditions could
avoid drugs and surgery by simply avoiding milk.
Oh, and by the way,
for those worried about getting their daily requirement of calcium,
don't believe the milk industry hype. A cup of cooked quinoa has more
calcium than a cup of milk, and if you really want to get a healthy dose
of bone building minerals like calcium and magnesium, take chlorella
supplements.
