that article also says that blood type a people should be nearly vegetarians. anyone want to comment on that?

The other disadvantage is it’s more expensive. But it doesn’t have cholesterol like cow milk.

I will add that if you just sit around and never move you’ll slow yourself down to 1500 to 2000 Cals a day (depending on how big you are).  And if you eat 1000-1500 Cals per day, your body will do that for you: make you sit around with no energy, so as to keep from starving to death. (If you keep exercising anyway, you’ll lose weight until you DO get the point that you’re too weak to, and there you’ll stay). I dunno how "safe" any of this is.   In Biosphere II they survived on little activity and 1500 Cals a day for 2 years.   If you were an astronaut coming in from another planet with insufficient oxygen, the ONLY way to cut your consumption would be to cut your caloric intake in this fashion, and rest as much as possible.  You might then make it back alive, but sort of boneless like a cat…                                          Steve Harris, M.D.

You can find disadvantages on this page: "Concerns Regarding Soybeans" by Mary Enig and Sally Fallon discusses the negatives with soy consumption. Abstracted from Health Freedom News, September 1995.   http://www.rheumatic.org/soy.htm This is an excerpt from the page: Fit for Human Consumption? The Chinese, did not eat the soybean as they did other pulses (legumes) such as the lentil, because the soybean contains large quantities of a number of harmful a substances. First among them are potent enzyme inhibitors which block the action of trypsin and other enzymes needed for protein digestion. These "antinutrients" are not completely deactivated during ordinary cooking and can produce serious gastric distress, reduced protein digestion and chronic deficiencies in amino acid uptake. In test animals, diets high in trypsin inhibitors cause enlargement and pathological conditions of the pancreas, including cancer. The soybean also contains hemagglutinin, a clot promoting substance that causes red blood cells to clump together. Trypsin inhibitors and hemagglutinin have been rightly labeled growth depressant substances. Fortunately they are deactivated during the process of fermentation.

The main advantage is that it is usually OK for people who have problems with dairy products. The main disadvantage is that it does not taste as good as dairy milk. — Steve Stephen Wolstenholme:             Author of NeuroDiet           http://www.tropheus.demon.co.uk

The best way is the old fashioned way.  Chew the bark of the slippery elm tree.  As a child my grandfather had us do that for any kind of stomach upset. It’s kinda slimmy but works. George — _/  Mold is serious stuff.  You can’t fight _/  it with shots alone! Get tested!

Response:

What are the advantages and disadvantages of drinking fresh soy-bean milk? thanks, Stan

Response:

Dear Stan: Yes.  (It comes in all those forms.)  The thing about capsules and tablets is that NOONE takes enough water with them to do any good.  It does not help your stomach ulcer if the herb you are taking makes it to your colon intact.  If you will be good, and take about twice as much water as the greatest amount you think could possibly be required, they will work.  Otherwise, stick with the tea (though it has a funny consistency) or the candies.  I like it in a syrup, myself.

Some people usually those with  HIV or other immune compromised systems have gotten some esohageal ulcers that are caused by Cytomegalavirus.  This condition is rare, but  does show the possibility of viral ulcers..  Heliabactor seems much more likely a possible combination.  This is one bacteria that will probably show antibiotic resistance faster than would be expected.  Perhaps someone needs to explore making vaccine.

For what this is worth: I used to get cold sores on my lips which caused me problems playing flute, untill about 8 months ago.  I learned about colloidial silver from this newsgroup.  I ordered the silver electrodes and started making iit.  I take 3 teaspoons every morning. check out this URL  http://users.deltanet.com/~daestar/silver.html good luck

Slippery Elm is most often available in bulk as both strips of the inner bark ans as a powder.  The powder can be put in capsules but as Steve has pointed out above it is only marginal in its effect. I use Slippery Elm as an ingredient in a cough syrup. For this I normally use the bark cut in strips, not the powder, as the powder tends to really gum up everything and produce an wonderful sticky sweet mess that takes almost forever to decant. Slippery Elm will form a muscilagenous paste if it is boiled for too long and when cool will be rather difficult to clean from utensils.  If you are in need of the properties of Slippery Elm I suggest that you use _glass_ containers and stainless steel utinsels to prepare a syrup and stabilize it after it is decanted with 10% ethanol by volume especially if you prepare more than you will use in two or three days. The ethanol acts as a preservative and will aid greatly in the Slippery Elm syrup fermenting and possibly causing far more serious problems.   I opened a bottle of last winter’s cough syrup for someone this afternoon which was stabilized  as I described above and was rewarded with the very pleasant aroma which I experienced last December… The syrup was well balanced in its flavor, color and consistancy.   If you want to use Slippery Elm for digestive tract problems you might consider it as part of a compounded formula with Aloe Vera juice (if you have access to the fresh plant in sufficient quantity) or one of the readily available gel products. I consider the latter less desireable but adequate when the fresh plant is unavailable. Hopefully this will be of some benefit.

I have used a type that is in dried granules (just soak) and one in capsules. I was using it to help with an acid reflux problem. The granule form helped a little but the capsules didn’t. When I think about it I can’t understand how capsules were supposed to help at all. I assume capsules will be more helpful with an ulcer because they will turn to gel a little further down the digestive track.   — Steve Stephen Wolstenholme:             Author of NeuroDiet           http://www.tropheus.demon.co.uk

I would want to know if cold sores(or canker sores) are related to peptic/duodenal ulcers?  A fellow wrote to me about a story that said this and it got me thinking, that may be the reason why my ulcer bothers me is because I may have "cold sores" in my stomach.  Just a thought, I want this ulcer to end.

Colsd sores are caused by the same virus, ‘herpes simplex’, that is responsible for genital herpes, while chicken pox & shingles are caused by ‘herpes zoster’. Most peptic/duodenal ulcers are caused by a bacteria called ‘Helicobacter pylori’, although their condition can be exacerbated by increases in stomach acid release, which increases the damage done to the stomach lining by the bacteria. Primary treatment of ulcers should include antibiotics as well as agents to reduce acid release/neutralization.

Response:

I believe that the answer to your question is unknown. Real licorice contains a substance which inhibits some steps in steroid metabolism. I don’t see that this would be a problem with omeprazole, but who can tell? If you decide to try this combination, let us know if you survive the experience. I for one would be most interested.

: Is there a connection between my cold sores & my swolen tonsil?  I got : both roughly at the same time.  My cold sores(or are they called canker : sores?) were under my tongue, which they are white circular looking.  And : they are painful.  My tonsil is still swolen though, only one side, my : right side, and it doesn’t hurt.  Well, sometimes it hurts, but not often. : Seems like I cannot tell if it is swolen or not, unless I look at them. Yes, there is absolutely a connection. You should go to your doctor, immediately. Anyhow, for your own information, the "cold sore", otherwise known as "fever blister" or "facial herpes" or "herpes simplex" can be caught quite easily through contact with an infected source: showers, lips, towels, sneeze-mists, etc. . . If your body becomes infected with a powerful virus, particularly herpes, it will attempt to defend itself. Cankers may form in your mouth and the glands around your mouth and neck area may swell. You may also experience a headache, insomnia, sore throat and possibly mild depression. (Flu like symtoms) You should definately see a physician. Your doctor will be able to more accurately diagnose and treat your problem. In some cases, the herpes virus, when active, can cause a swelling of the brain tissue (encephalitis); brain damage can occur, even death. Good luck! Go to a doctor! Don’t dilly dally!
