I frequently refer people to Dr. John McDougall to learn what he has to say about milk and other dairy products. This week has been no different. I have had new and prospective clients ask questions about milk, calcium and strong bones. And, I have had clients who have been dairy free for only a few weeks tell me about how much better they feel and how they would never dream of eating another milk product. One Slender For Life™ weight loss client said that her doctor was thrilled with how her symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis have diminished in less than 3 months. How have they given up cheese and ice cream? Easily – with self-hypnosis.

Many conditions can be traced back to reactions to cow’s milk. Milk contains more than 25 different proteins that can induce adverse reactions in humans. Our immune system perceives these foreign proteins as alien invaders, like a virus or bacteria, and launches an attack in response, as in the case of type-1 diabetes discussed above and many other allergic and autoimmune diseases.
- General: Loss of appetite, growth retardation.
- Upper Gastrointestinal: Canker sores (aphthous stomatitis), irritation of tongue, lips and mouth, tonsil enlargement, vomiting, gastroesophageal reflux (GERD), Sandifer’s syndrome, peptic ulcer disease, colic, stomach cramps, abdominal distention, intestinal obstruction, type-1 diabetes.
- Lower Gastrointestinal: Bloody stools, colitis, malabsorption, diarrhea, painful defecation, fecal soiling, infantile colic, chronic constipation, infantile food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES), Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis.
- Respiratory: Nasal stuffiness, runny nose, otitis media (inner ear trouble), sinusitis, wheezing, asthma, and pulmonary infiltrates.
- Bone and joint: Rheumatoid arthritis, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Behçet’s disease, (possibly psoriatic arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis).
- Skin: Rashes, atopic dermatitis, eczema, seborrhea, hives (urticaria)
- Nervous System (Behavioral): Multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, autism, schizophrenia, irritability, restlessness, hyperactivity, headache, lethargy, fatigue, “allergic-tension fatigue syndrome,” muscle pain, mental depression, enuresis (bed-wetting).
- Blood: Abnormal blood clotting, iron deficiency anemia, low serum proteins, thrombocytopenia, and eosinophilia.
- Other: Nephrotic syndrome, glomerulonephritis, anaphylactic shock and death, sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS or crib or cot death), injury to the arteries causing arteritis, and eventually, atherosclerosis.
Dairy products are deficient in iron and beef is deficient in calcium; both contain too little dietary fiber, essential fat (linoleic acid), and vitamin C and B3 (niacin) to meet human nutritional requirements. Heavy consumption of either of these food groups – loaded with fat and cholesterol – will result in the diseases common to affluent societies, such as obesity, heart disease, strokes, type-2 diabetes and cancer, to name just a few serious problems.
If a patient bargained with me, “I’ll give up only one of the first two food groups – meat or milk – in hopes of getting well,” my recommendation for almost all common health problems in Western society would be, “You’re likely to get the most benefits if you give up the dairy products.”

Unless you want the diseases of kings and queens (obesity, heart disease, strokes, type-2 diabetes and cancer, to name just a few), it seems to me to be a no-brainer to to give up the diary. Not only can you more easily lose weight, the other health befits make it easily worthwhile. Learn self-hypnosis and make it easy for yourself.

Milk is one of those products that many of us don’t think about but it’s not a drink that was meant for human consumption. All mammals manufacture milk. It’s designed as baby food for the offspring of the mammal. Human milk is designed as the perfect food for baby humans and cows milk is designed as the perfect food for baby cows. (an animal that’s designed to gain about 1000 pounds quite quickly).
I was working with a woman this week who needed to remove cheese from her diet. When I mentioned to her that drinking milk or eating milk products is like sucking on the teat of a bovine animal, and asked her to imagine how she felt about that, she told me that she was done and finished with milk and milk products. And this was before we even got started on the actual ritual of hypnotic work!
I think milk developed as a beverage and food alternative because a nomadic culture and early cultures without refrigeration had a ready supply of food when necessary. I think it was the huns that would drink the blood of their horses to sustain themselves. It probably wasn’t a means of obtaining a regular food supply, but a food supply that developed out of necessity. And it later became an item of value as a way of sustaining life that became an everyday product readily available to anyone in the western world.
Not a perfect food for humans by any means, especially adult humans. And I’m not aware of any mammal that drinks their own milk after maturity.
Marc – I will have to remember that imagery! Thank you for that.
