[fast5] Re: Newbie

Hi Heather,

Do you think Angora goats would give enough milk? I am really into fibres... building to get some Angora rabbits soon .... then will build for chickens... and then was planning for goats. So if milk didn't work out for me I would still have fibres. I would have to protect here too... we have leopard and jackals. The little Swiss Milch goat is real sweet. I am building very strong housing for the animals I am planning on getting... rock and cement. I really want to lick this dairy allergy... I love cheese and yogurt!

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!!! : )
