In the land of Milk and Honey  (or Los Angeles)- all is not sweet!

Everyone seems to be excited and talking about milk and honey shoes, but health conscious folks are concerned more about hormones and pollutants showing up in the milk supply rather than if  custom wedding shoes match the theme of the event.  Not only are contaminants scary to think about -frankly, cow’s milk isn’t even a properly balanced food .  Trying to sweeten the pot with honey? – well that might not be the answer either.  Read on to find out why.

Milk is not just cold white goodness. The milk of every animal is unique and specifically tailored to the requirements of that species. For example, cows’ milk has more protein in it than human milk does. Three to four times as much, and has five to seven times the mineral content. Minerals are important – check out www.ivitaminscience.com if you want to read about that.  However, cow’s milk is markedly deficient in essential fatty acids when compared to human milk. Mothers’ milk has six to ten times as much of the essential fatty acids, especially linoleic acid. (Incidentally, skimmed cow’s milk has no linoleic acid). We need these essential fatty acids to keep our waistlines tight, our muscles strong, and our circulation and energy healthy.

What’s all that powder on your nose (LA reference)- I mean feet, little bees?

In honey, Palmitic and oleic acids were respectively found in relative good concentrations, but only small amounts of lauric, stearic, and linoleic acids.  So if you are trying to get your essential fatty acids by adding honey to milk, you probably aren’t going to get much accomplished except satisfying your sweet tooth, and causing frequent trips to the bathroom for that lactose insufficiency problem.

It is a good idea to keep species specific nutrition in mind when it comes to feeding our children milk.  We must always try to breast feed if possible because of the proper ratios of protein, and nutrients – including fatty acids.  Plus it is a great bonding experience, and sets children off on the right foot, keeping them from getting infections and making them grow fast!

Got Milk and Mischief?

We should be careful what we are feeding our babies, or even adults who act like babies!  Lindsay Lohan has got milk, and also a pissed off judge to deal with.  We may need to keep an eye on her.  Now for the rest of us adults – let’s skip the cow’s milk, and all the drama, and bring on the BEEF!  I know all those cattle are out there mooing saying, “please eat more chicken” and “go vegetarian!”

Leaves can be very stimulating!

Thousands of years of natural selection has created one of the hardiest, most resiliant plants on earth, the olive tree.  The ravages of time have brought floods, droughts, frosts, and countless attacks of viruses, bacteria, fungi, and disease, yet some varieties of olive trees survive, and thrive.  We can capitalize on the acquired wisdom of these trees to keep us healthy!

Popeye the Sailorman was one of the first to reveal a love for Olive Oil!

Olive leaf extract is an ancient remedy whose first recorded use was in 1000 BC. Olive leaves have been called a miracle and is directly cited in science,  mythology, and the Bible as a healer. These leaves have been a used for thousands of years as a homeopathic remedy in the Mediterranean and other parts of the world. 

As a natural health supplement, herbal tea, in capsules, soap, skin care & extracts, it fight cold & flu.  As part of the Mediterranean diet, it boosts immune systems & increases energy, fights infections, and can lower cholesterol.  It would be a great addition to your preventive medicine regimen.

Olive Oil should be a staple in every home – the elenolate is one of the most valuable components in it (great bottle Brachia!)

“Let Food Be Thy Medicine“  Hippocrates 400 B.C.

Researchers found calcium elenolate in olive leaves effective in test tube experiments against 17 viruses:  including herpes, polio, and many influenza (flu) and parainfluenza types.  Many believe it is effective against HIV too – but not as a prophylactic!  They found it effective against 20 bacteria and parasitic protozoans including staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), E. coli,  salamonella, and even malaria!

Someone call the Center for Disease Control (CDC), and the World Health Organization (WHO), here’s the answer to our problems:

 Start feeding pigs olive leaves….

Get the ducks eating olives in China…. 

Whammo!  No more Swine Flu and No more Bird Flu!  We cut the viruses off at the source!

Sometimes all you ever need to know to be a doctor can be learned in Kindergarden.
