Timestamps

00:00 - Intro

01:00 - Ultra-high-temperature pasteurized milk, raw milk is overrated, pasteurized milk, A2 milk, adding sugar, goat milk

02:26 - Overgrowth of bacteria as a cause of milk allergy, raw carrot salad, well-cooked white button mushrooms, erythromycin, penicillin VK, clarithromycin, neomycin, tetracycline, doxycycline, flowers of sulfur

Therefore, to avoid hypersensitivity reactions, sugars in the body fluids should be kept high by feeding well, he said.” — New View of the Old Cold — As Sugars Go Up, Hypersensitivity Drops. (1963)

“Bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine can be caused by hypothyroidism, and the substances produced by these bacteria can damage the lining of the small intestine, causing the loss of lactase enzymes (Walshe, et al., 1990).” — Ray Peat, PhD

"Fifty two strains of anaerobic bacteria isolated from the upper gut of patients with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth were screened for phospholipase activity... Culture supernatant and deoxycholate, both alone and combined, significantly reduced lactase, sucrase, and maltase activity. Electron microscopic evidence showed degeneration of microvilli, disruption of mitochondrial structure, and swelling of the endoplasmic reticulum after exposure of the intestinal loops to the supernatant or deoxycholate." — Walshe, K., et al.

"Women with lactose malabsorption handle lactose better than usual in late pregnancy. Slow intestinal transit and bacterial adaptation to increased lactose intake may be primarily responsible.” "Progesterone, levels of which are markedly elevated during pregnancy, may also play a role in increasing intestinal lactase levels...” — Szilagyi, A., et al.

“…It is important to point out that low levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) are essential for maintaining healthy bone structure and normal remodeling.” — Endocrine Physiology Constance R. Martin (1985)

“It is well known, for example, that estradiol (the major estrogen secreted by the ovaries) increases the expression of parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcitonin, the principle hormones involved in calcium regulation.” — Thys-Jacobs S., et al.

“This controlled dose-response study showed that phosphorus has a dose-dependent effect on S-PTH and increases PTH secretion significantly when calcium intake is low. Acutely high phosphorus intake adversely affects bone metabolism by decreasing bone formation and increasing bone resorption, as indicated by the bone metabolism markers.” — Kemi VE, Kärkkäinen MU, Lamberg-Allardt CJ. High phosphorus intakes acutely and negatively affect Ca and bone metabolism in a dose-dependent manner in healthy young females. Br J Nutr. 2006 Sep;96(3):545-52.
