This “Healthy” Drink Has a Whole Host of Health Problems
The government sure is milking the “mustache” gag. They’ve helped to promote dairy so much that “Got Milk” is now a national catch phrase. But why are they promoting milk so heavily? And is milk really that important to good health? The answers may surprise you.
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommends three glasses of milk a day. Why? Because milk builds strong bones and combats osteoporosis. At least that’s what the government tells you.
But significant studies show that there is no positive association between milk and bone strength. And some studies may even link it to cancer.
The Milk Myth
Milk is considered one of nature’s great building blocks. That’s because it has enjoyed heavy endorsement for many years. Much of that promotion comes from the USDA Food Guide Pyramid. But several of the “experts” who designed the pyramid are dairy industry insiders.
According to Dr. Mark Hyman, family medicine practitioner and Advisory Board member of the Food as Medicine Program at Georgetown University’s School of Medicine, USDA dietary recommendations primarily protect industry interests… not your health.
The government tells us that milk is good for us because it:
- Builds strong bones
- Combats osteoporosis
- Rebuilds muscle
Here is the government’s argument for you: Milk is rich in calcium. Calcium builds strong bones and teeth. Therefore, milk will strengthen your bones.
However, many leading experts hotly refute this. In fact, two studies conducted by leading nutritional scientist and Harvard University researcher Dr. Walter Willet provide evidence that eating dairy does not reduce the risk of fracture.
In fact, one of these studies – an extensive 12-year review of 78,000 women – concluded that dairy may actually increase the risk of fractures by 50 percent.
“Milk is a primary source of calcium and vitamin D and therefore might be expected to decrease osteoporotic bone loss and fracture risk, yet research has not generally supported this assumption,” concluded the study.
Dr. Willet’s follow-up study was published six years later in 2003. It showed that milk consumption “conferred a weak, non-significant reduction in fracture risk.” The study also found that with “higher daily intakes of milk, there was still no evidence of a protective effect.”
Some experts believe that the idea that osteoporosis is caused by calcium deficiency was created to sell dairy products. It’s not surprising that they believe there is no truth to it, when you consider that American women are among the biggest consumers of calcium in the world, and yet they still have one of the highest levels of osteoporosis in the world.
Vitamin D More Effective Than Calcium for Preventing Fractures?
Research also shows that Africa and Asia have the lowest rates of osteoporosis. These countries also consume the lowest rates of dairy and calcium.
Although dairy and calcium were not shown to reduce the risk of fractures, Dr. Willet’s Harvard study did identify a compound that can help.1 According to the study, “An adequate vitamin D intake is associated with a lower risk of osteoporotic hip fractures in postmenopausal women.”
The study suggests fatty fish – such as wild salmon, sardines, and mackerel – as good food sources of vitamin D. While these are the best food sources, they still do not contain nearly the amount of vitamin D your body needs. By far, the best way to get the vitamin D you need is to allow direct sun exposure to your skin (without burning).
Credible Link between Calcium and Cancer?
As you can imagine, you can get too much of a good thing. In fact, some studies show an association between cancer and excess calcium in the diet.
One of these studies reviewed the links between dairy and prostate cancer. The research concluded that the more dairy a man consumes, the more it raises his risk of cancer – by up to 50 percent.
Researchers believe that as calcium increases in the blood, vitamin D drops. Vitamin D has been shown to have amazing anti-cancer properties. Therefore, by decreasing those levels in the body, the risk of cancer potentially increases.
Digesting Dairy
Then there are the more commonly recognized problems with dairy. It’s reported that approximately 75 percent of the world’s population2 is unable to properly digest lactose (a type of sugar found in milk). This “lactose intolerance” lies in our origins: We didn’t domesticate animals – or drink their milk – until about 10,000 years ago. Ten thousand years is the blink of an eye in evolutionary terms. Our ancient genetics haven’t evolved to match our modern diets.
Furthermore, most humans stop producing significant amounts of lactase – the enzyme needed to metabolize lactose – between the ages of two and five. Simple conclusion: we weren’t meant to digest milk on a regular basis.
The Migraine-Milk Connection
Intolerance to milk and dairy can manifest itself in many different ways. Milk became a real headache for one concerned mother.
“When my son started kindergarten he developed what looked like acne around his mouth,” explained “Sarah.” “We discovered it was caused by the milk he was drinking at school. We never gave him milk at home, because our family has a history of lactose intolerance. We started giving him a lactase pill every day so he could have all the dairy he wanted at school….we didn’t want him to feel left out on ice cream day. But he started having headaches that became more and more severe as he got older. They eventually turned into migraines that were so bad he could hardly function and was getting them about every five days.”
When the doctor couldn’t provide a solution, Sarah researched the connection between migraines and milk link for herself.
“I discovered that dairy can cause migraines in people who are allergic to milk. My doctor apparently was unaware of this. We immediately put my son on a dairy-free diet and the migraines disappeared. He is now a very different little boy… no migraines, doesn’t miss school, and is happier.”
Campaign Claims Not Backed by Science
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently requested that the USDA back up the “milk mustache” campaign claims with science. The panel of scientists concluded the following:
- There was no compelling proof that dairy builds strong bones.
- Dairy causes digestive problems for the 75 percent of people with lactose intolerance.
- Dairy aggravates irritable bowel syndrome.
- Milk doesn’t offer sports benefits. It does not improve athletic performance.
- Dairy may be linked to prostate cancer.
Given all the findings about dairy, it’s probably a good idea to get your vitamin D, potassium, protein, and healthy fats from other food sources, including lean meats, wild fish, fruits and vegetables… and of course, frequent sun exposure.

“Multisport: New Research Shows Link to Drinking ASEA and Likely Glycogen Sparing for Athletes
Salt Lake City, Utah — ASEA, LLC announces the release of groundbreaking findings at the Experimental Biology 2012 Conference in San Diego of a new study from the Human Performance Laboratory showing increased power output and endurance among competitive athletes.
We have been waiting for ASEA to release the data on the newest double blind study further document the 17 plus million dollars spent in research over the last 18 years. I have attached the link to Runners Webb and a clean copy of the press release highlighting the controlled study of people using ASEA. This will be so far reaching in sport- and provide quality science for those demanding to see more research. We are understanding more remarkable benefits of ASEA all the time and in combination with our findings regarding the increase in V02 performance improvements this information is very powerful. The secret is out of the bag now and anyone who says that ASEA is only salt water can check the double blind, cross over study presented at the prestigious scientific conference, Experimental Biology, in San Diego this past weekend. The news is tremendous.
Interestingly, the study suggests ASEA mobilizes belly fat in the process, which could burn off as fuel, also of interest is the dramatic increase in Vitamin C blood levels after exercise. This also may contribute to the amazing lack of soreness that taking ASEA provides.
Now is the time to get this information to all sports and athletic personnel and experts. They will soon understand if you are not using ASEA that you are competitively disadvantaged. If you want the edge you need ASEA. Champions may rise and fall depending whether they are using ASEA or not. It is our job to share this with the world and earn a tremendous income as a result. Whether you are a biker, hiker, runner, or doing any phsycial effort, ASEA is your natural fuel enhancer and recovery enhancer.
The company is finalizing a video documenting and featuring the study and what the research really means. It will be available to us on May 7th. It will be presented after the Corporate ASEA In touch call on Monday May 7th at 9:00pm EST 6:00pm 641-715-3843 access code #4727726. On Tuesday May 1st Michael Stern will be discussing the significance of this study and how to share it on our leadership call at 12:00pm EST 9:00am PST. Call 1-712-432-8773 Conference Id Number : 333777#
This information will be shared at our upcoming cross Canada tours.

Quantum Healing is like working with a computer rather than an abacus to do the healing. If a problem was a dandelion, regular healing work would cut the dandelion off at the lawn. Dandelions are so hearty, you must remove the root and all to finally be free of them. This is precisely what Quantum Healing does. It goes to the place of origin quickly and completely removing ALL roots, vines and tentacles, clearing the consciousness as though the problem never existed for permanent corrections. “Quantum is a new dimension of healing. It accesses collective consciousness to get to the place of origin”.
Quantum Medicine takes the whole person into consideration, that is spirit, body and soul. It is finding out what is being depleted in the body and what affects it, whether it is the mind or spirit of the person. It is then looking at the matrix within the molecular structure. It is that which is very often beyond that of the senses and a kind of knowledge that comes from the subconscious mind or even intuition, that things are not right. We all have this kind of knowledge, this deep insight into when we are not able to define that the body is not completely well. Usually the body, given time, will heal itself, if not abused by artificial stimulus. Surgery, drugs and various other methods of medical treatment attempt to set the stage in the body where in the natural healing forces, laws of nature, or God, can more effectively and readily heal the body.
Medical doctors set the stage for healing. They cooperate in the healing process, but do not of themselves heal. The operative laws of nature contained within universal consiousness do the actual healing. Thus, medical and metaphysical treatments are not in conflict. Medical treatment helps in preparing the body for healing. While metaphysical treatments direct universal consiousness to do the actual healing.
Biofeedback, quite simply is any technique which takes a measurement of the body, and provides a result.
A scale can be said to be a biofeedback device that measures weight; a thermometer one that measures body temperature. We can measure factors of the body electric such as the voltage of the firing brain cells, the amperage of the heart muscle contractions, the voltage of the muscles and the resistance to the flow of electricity of the skin.
We can measure the oscillations of these factors and as seen by the EEG, ECG, EMG and GSR. The same technological theories that brought us biofeedback in the 1960′s, have also brought devices like the CAT Scan, MRI, TENS, ultra-sound, and many other sophisticated technologies to our healthcare systems.
The information measured with a biofeedback device is then “fed-back” to the client, informing them of various physiological parameters and stress responses within the body, and educating them about the need to retrain their body’s stress responses, balance the body electric, make lifestyle changes or learn to control physiological reactions, in order to achieve improved relaxation and better health overall.
Health Canada’s reference acknowledges its therapeutic aspects, and is perhaps the most indicative of its powerful potential, calling biofeedback “psychotherapeutic measures for nonpharmacologic interventions”.
How Does Biofeedback Work?
Biofeedback utilizes electro-dermal sensors to measure Galvanic Skin Resistance (GSR), also referred to as Electro-Dermal Response (EDR). GSR measures mild electrical impulses on the surface of our skin, which change due to moisture. The moisture of the skin changes according to the body’s degree of stress and/or relaxation. There is a direct relationship between sympathetic nervous activity and emotional arousal. GSR is so sensitive it can even measure fluctuations in emotional states; think about the lie detector, for example.
Biofeedback instruments measure muscle activity, skin temperature, electrodermal activity (sweat gland activity), respiration, heart rate, heart rate variability, blood pressure, brain electrical activity and blood flow. There are many types of biofeedback: GSR, EEG, CAT scan, MRI, etc. These technologies are able to capture the bodies’ analog electrical signals and translate those signals into meaningful information through complex algorithmic software that a technician can then decipher.
Research shows that biofeedback, alone and in combination with other behavioral therapies, is effective for treating a variety of medical and psychological disorders. Biofeedback is currently used by physicians, nurses, psychologists, counselors, physical therapists, occupational therapists, a host of other professionals and laypeople alike.
In 1987, Schneider found that biofeedback is effective in reducing physician visits, medication usage, duration and frequency of hospital stays, as well as reducing mortality and enhancing quality of life.
Studies by Jonas and Levin show biofeedback as an ideal intervention for patients who demand:
- Gentler, less toxic and less invasive first line interventions
- More integrative and alternative therapeutic options
- More information and choice in making the best possible decisions for their care
- More participation and involvement in their treatment
Leading doctors and scientists are now viewing biofeedback, in its aspect of being a psycho-educational therapy, stating: “One of the most fundamental and critically necessary strategies for reducing long term health care costs and improving health and quality of life is appropriate, timely, psychological and educational interventions.” -
