No milk really works

I was one of those die hard holdouts who refused to believe that milk had anything to do with my symptoms, even after I injured my back years ago and had difficulty healing from it. I would reach over to tie my shoe, and VOILA! Back to complete incapacity and painfully trying to lever myself out of bed or chairs or cars using my arms because my lower back was out of action. Well, I finally decided to give up milk after reading "NO MILK" once again after I became a kidney donor and was recovering after surgery. The area of my surgery was fine, but my back was a mess after surgery! I found that when I gave up milk products, my back slowly healed, and as soon as I included milk products again, it was as if I was back to zero. It was impossible to ignore this time, and so I've been staying away from milk products completely, and chocolate, even though I'm a chocoholic and adore See's candies. It just wasn't worth the pain anymore. I'd always been healthy and been able to eat anything I wanted, and this book illustrates the connection that none of us want to face: Milk ISN'T necessarily a healthy food for many of us, and in fact can be the cause of our infirmity. I never thought I could give up milk...but reading this book again, and being flat on my back not getting better after surgery, gave me the impetus to try. It's an easy read, and you won't find this information from any doctor --- but the author has thousands of patients he has treated, and he's found a cure for back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, neck pain, and those other nagging "can't figure out why I hurt" pains in joints...READ THE BOOK!! If you're having problems with your health, read the book and give up milk products for a few weeks. You will be amazed.

A small change in diet could free you of pain

A certified chiropractor tells how he discovered that allergy to the milk protein "casein" is the largest cause of neck, back and headache pain. Dr. Twogood tells the tale with folksy humor and a readable style accessible to all, even helping the reader find the names under which casein hides. He also deals with other problem foods, from MSG to wheat and corn.Clearly, Dr. Twogood's goal as a chiropractor is to find a solution to his patients' problems and send them away feeling well. That goal and an open mind led him to learn what others have not: that milk is the Number One cause of the kinds of pain he sees in his practice: neck and back pain, and headaches. He was led to this discovery by listening to one of his patients describe the way in which his problems seemed to be caused by the occasional indulgence in milk. The doctor disbelieved at first, but kept his opinions to himself, and kept the idea in his mental database of information. Six years and many patients later, he is a believer.I am a believer too. It was my daughter's behavioral problems which are clearly caused by milk and milk products that led me to Dr. Twogood's work. Both my husband and I had suffered what is popularly known as "slipped discs" like clockwork, about every six months for more than ten years, and anything offering a solution to this cycle would be welcome. In fact, when the book fell into our hands, my husband was in that "mounting up toward an incident" phase that had become so familiar to both of us: stiffness especially in the morning, along with a continuing feeling of pressure and mild pain in the lower back. This had led, every time, to Something Happening. Maybe we bend down to pick up something on the floor, or the tiniest little slip ends in that sort of tearing feeling -- no pain, just the feeling of "oops!" -- that always finds us, next morning, unable (well, unwilling) to move. These incidents are always to be dreaded. My husband started removing milk from his diet. This is not easy for someone who loves cheese (and has it as part of his staple diet), but slowly over time he managed it. And the Something never did Happen. It's been about four years now, during which he has occasionally slipped up ("Chocolate pudding has milk in it?") and during which we have worked on refining out even the smaller traces ("But it says `non-dairy creamer' right here on the bottle. How could it possibly have milk in it?" Read the ingredients list, you'll see!) but as we got better at minding the ingredients, his back ache slowly faded until the low in the back, every morning ache he's come to feel is almost a part of his nature, has finally subsided.A little later I realized that my "slipped disc" was gone, too. Although I had not removed milk from my diet, a diagnosis of celiac disease had forced me to do without wheat, which in retrospect I realize must have been my "food trigger."Dr. Twogood makes a terrific case for food allergies causing pain in the evidence he m
