There’s never an excuse soy milk

Some lactose-intolerant folks drink it because they want a milk substitute. Some health-conscious people drink it because they think it is the “heart-healthy low fat option.” And some vegans drink it because they don’t want to drink cow milk.

But no matter what reason you have for drinking soy milk, it is not a valid excuse. Soy milk is not a food and has no place in anyone’s diet.

Soymilk Ingredients

Ironically, almost every ingredient in soymilk  is cause for serious concern. Here are the ingredients in Silk Soymilk…

You know there is something about a product that professes to be healthy, and then when broken down is anything, but healthy.  I can have respect for some good chips or a chocolate dessert, there’s no facade there, but don’t present as healthy, especially with a steep price tag attached.

I was reintroduced to raw milk, and am loving it.  I am lactose-intolerant, and the natural enzymes that are still present, being the milk has not been pasteurized, make for easy digestion.  The real cream that surfaces to the top is quite nice, when making homemade ice cream.

IMAGINE HAVING A CONDITION with symptoms so severe that you can’t leave the house, yet your doctor calls it a “functional,” or “psychosomatic,” disease — meaning that it’s all in your head.

But it’s a very real problem for the 60 million people — that’s 20 percent of Americans — who have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). These people are plagued by uncomfortable and often disabling symptoms like bloating, cramps, diarrhea, constipation, and pain.

I have many patients with IBS, some of whom have suffered for decades without relief. Their previous doctors couldn’t find the cause of the illness, so they were told to just get more fiber or take Metamucil, or were prescribed sedatives, anti-spasm drugs, or antidepressants.

That is NOT the answer. Most of those treatments don’t work, because they don’t address the underlying causes of why your digestion is not working. Emerging research has helped identify the underlying causes. For over 15 years I have been successfully treating irritable bowel syndrome and other digestive conditions using a very simple methodology based on functional medicine that helps identify and remove the underlying causes and restores normal digestive function and health.

Today, I am going to share 5 steps you can follow to cure IBS. But first I want to tell you about a patient of mine…

So much food, so little nutrients

Have you heard the phrase, “Overfed but undernourished?” Unfortunately, it accurately describes a large percentage of the Western population. We face skyrocketing levels of obesity, yet the foods we consume are stripped of crucial nutrients, such as fat-soluble vitamins and minerals.

Some of the staple foods we consume as a nation, such as white flour and bread,  are enriched with vitamins. However, these synthetic vitamins are poorly absorbed and lack the naturally-occurring cofactosrs needed for assimilation. Americans chronically lack nutrient-dense foods.

Fake nutrients vs. real nutrients

Many doctors, dieticians and pediatricians recognize some of the signs of nutrient deficiency. They frequently recommend products such as Boost, Ensure, and Pediasure shakes. However, this can compound the problem of nutrient deficiency since these beverages contain not only poorly-absorbed synthetic vitamins but also a host of unsavory ingredients.

For example, the ingredients in vanilla-flavored Pediasure are…
