Research:

“We work hard, earn lots of money and
spend gleefully on iPods, flat-screen TVs,
SUVs and all sorts of expensive fripperies.
We indulge, we gratify--and therefore we
expect to be the happiest people on the
planet. So why aren't we?” - Richard Ernsberger

Avoid mucus forming foods..
• Dairy Products
• Sugar
• Coffee/Tea
• Refined foods
•….
• Pitta
• Vata
• Kapha
• Mucus is produced by sub-mucosal cells as well as goblet cells in the
respiratory system.
• It consists of mucin, a highly glycosylated peptide.
• Upon stimulation, MARPKs (Myrastine-Alanine Rich Protein Kinases)
signal the binding of mucin filled vesicles to the plasma membrane.
• The fusion of the vesicles causes the release of the mucin
• It exchanges Ca2+ for Na+ expands up to 600 fold.
• The result is a visco-elastic product of interwoven molecules (mucus)
26
“More and more physicians and dietitians realize that
removing dairy products from the diet can be the solution to
many childhood illnesses such as ear infections, runny
noses, constipation, colic, and gas—the list goes on.”
“According
to a report in American Academy of Allergy and
Immunology Committee on Adverse Reactions to Food (part
of NIH), the allergies of up to one third of children tested
cleared after milk was removed from their diet.”
“Dr.
Benjamin Spock, author of the world-famous book Baby
and Child Care, wrote in 1998, ‘Cow’s milk is not
recommended for a child when he is sick—or when he is
well, for that matter. Dairy products may cause more mucus
complications and cause more discomfort with upper
respiratory infections.’ “
27
“The mucus created by milk may cause other health problems,
as well. Dr. William Ellis, who has studied the effects of dairy
foods for more than four decades, says that milk is "simply no
good for humans." Dr. Ellis believes that the excess mucus
caused by milk can harden to form a coating on the inner wall
of the intestines, hindering the absorption of nutrients and
possibly leading to chronic
fatigue.”
Removing
organs that are
meant to warn
and protect you
is like shooting
the red-light
signal & driving!
