Re: [fast5] Re: Newbie

I can't do goat milk either, but they are really easy to keep. I have two fiber
goats (angoras) and they also mow our yard. Our neighbors got a milk goat
though, to feed a baby colt, and it was really an easy animal to keep. Docile,
small, gave a gallon of milk a day for the cost of grass! The milk was delicious
too. Still gave me "milk symptoms" (I get really, really cold and then get
brain fog, and migraines later). So it's worth testing before you invest.

The goat cost her something like $75 ... not pricey. One thing though:
you need to keep them protected. A mountain lion ate one of the neighbor's
goats lately, and dogs get them too. My angoras have horns and they
fight mean, and I haven't had a problem with them getting attacked (if
a dog comes around they attack it! They also used to knock my kid
down before she got big enough to grab them first). But the milk goats
are not so feisty.

Also, you MUST milk them daily (2x a day I think). And probably learn
to make cheese (it's easy) or kefir, because you'll have way more milk
than you can use. But if you like goat milk, it's worth it! It doesn't
taste "goaty" unless its' old or unless there is a ram around.

I love yogurt but find I react to it too. It might be that it is made with pasterised milk and that is the problem. Is why I am so determined to detox.... I heard that with each liver detox more and more allergies disappear.. Well I only have the dairy that I am aware of. (Sugar intolerance is different I think and I just stay away.) This programme is the ultimate way for me to detox because I can do it!!! : )
