The issue with the dairy in children suffering from recurrent respiratory infections goes beyond possible sugars. There is an additional problem with mucus production that in turn can complicate clearance of pathogens in someone say with MBL deficiency. So even though clean dairy is still a good source of animal protein for most people, those that have respiratory and sinus issues need to be judicious in their use of dairy.
Yes, that whole propaganda about homeschoolers being social misfits is completely bogus. As a clinician, I had the opportunity for over 25 years to see the differences between children raised off the grid versus the normies. They are healthy physically, mentally, socially, emotionally, and spiritually more so as compared to their counterparts raised in the meatgrinder of narrative normalcy. Good for you having sense enough to raise normal people.
I agree about the dairy = mucus thing, it is not for everyone, but some people are good with it, there is no blanket rule. Soy is not a good alternative either. As far as animal proteins are concerned - I found lamb and beef to be the best, chicken & eggs maybe, and pork maybe - it depends on the person. Personally I thrive on pork, but I know a lot of people who get tummy aches from it.
Dairy has to be very clean - which is getting harder to find at a price you can afford. After years of not being able to consume dairy, I can once again enjoy my cheese. But, I do not overdue it. When I notice myself getting phlegmy, I know I need to cut back. Gastric distress is the point where I have crossed way over the line and it will be months before I get it calmed down. But, I have not had that happen in several years.
All my animals sources are very clean - local grass fed and free range organic when I can find it. Absolutely no pork. Pigs are pretty much garbage cans and will eat anything - like us. They are also used in research because they do have similarities to humans. Therefore, IMHO, since their systems really are too similar to ours, we probably should not eat them.
As I said, it depends. In New Zealand all farm animals are grass-fed. I realise that pigs are considered dirty by many, and that's fine - everyone is different, also there are faiths that ban it. Our dog breeder claimed that dogs must not be fed pork, but our dog loves it, but gets the runs if we feed her lamb, which she recommended.
BTW. One can say the same about chickens being dirty/hormone fed - they are carnivorous devils, and will gobble maggots like candy if you give them the chance.
For years I would get terrible symptoms eating chickens, but that has resolved since I cut all carbs.
Re: dairy - we only have yoghurt, cream and butter, not milk and cheese. The yoghurt we make ourselves from skim milk powder, so that it is live yoghurt. The whole milk powder has soy in it - it tastes funny, and some of us are allergic to that. Also, if one is gonna do milk, don't get the homogenised sh*t. Get the full cream stuff that has cream floating on top - preferably organic.
You are correct. Diet is something that has to be worked out for each individual. There is not a one size fits all approach to anything in life. What may work for one person, may not work for another. Things are much harder here in the States because the food supply has been so adulterated. "Science" has only degraded what is meant for our survival. My grandfather is turning in his grave at how farming is conducted these days. They have thrown away sensible time proven practice of farming and animal husbandry that has helped us survive for thousands of years. Those that profess themselves wise in the end are only proven as fools. The problem is, that in the pursuit of their "science" and greed, many are being made sick and are dying in the process.
I heard NZ is going to force vaxxinate the livestock with mRNA. Is that true or is it rumor?
