After Ana

The latest from my stricter low carb regime…. I’ve lost a kilogram in 11 days. I haven’t been eating much grains at all and only an apple (or equivalent) a day. You can check out my diet here. I’m yet to measure my muscle mass gains, but when I find out (in a week or two) I’ll post before and after figures.

Perhaps the loss is also something to do with me finally deciding to go off the pill. So far I’m 20 days into my first pill-free cycle. it’s exciting to note what is happening! I’m filling out an ovulation chart each day, except after charting 15 days, I discovered my thermometer was broken! It stays stuck on 37.1ºC. Weird… I thought I had a high temperature of 37.2ºC every day. So perhaps I’ll start again with a new one next time around.

BUT the one health problem of mine that keeps coming up…. I have either high or very low blood pressure. More often than low it is high. This puzzles me because I am eating so clean. Any ideas??

I’ve been reading about raw milk for hypertension here. It seems I should be drinking it for my health:

To cure disease we should seek to improve elimination, to make better blood and more blood, to build up the body resistance. The method used tends to accomplish these things. Blood conditions rapidly improve and the general condition and resistance is built up and recovery follows….

In several instances, Osler (Principles and Practices of Medicine, by William Osler, MD eighth edition) speaks of milk as being nothing more than white blood. Milk resembles blood closely and is a useful agent for improving and making new and better blood. Blood is the chief agent of metabolism. Milk is recognized in medical literature almost exclusively as a useful food and is admitted to be a complete food….

Hypertension responds with equal gratification. The blood pressure improves rapidly. I have never seen such rapid and lasting results by any other method. One of the patients lived almost exclusively on milk for more than three years.

OK, so it’s useful for healing, but where do I get it!!!? It is impossible to find. I live on the Gold Coast and short of sponsoring a cow myself (which is impossible because I don’t know any Farmer Browns) or buying a goat, I can’t source it locally. I’ve registered on Herdshare and I’m going to try ordering Cleopatra or Aphrodite’s Bath milks online, but I’m not sure about freshness… Milk in the post?? If anyone can help me, please let me know. I’d love to try it to see if my blood pressure normalizes.

I've finally overcome my destructive eating habits by learning to accept myself, applying the WAPF nutritional principles daily. I'm now at a stable, healthy, slim weight, have lots of energy and no more guilt. I've been happily married for 7 years and am a graphic designer. In the near future I'm hoping to start a nutritional course and start practicing as a qualified nutritionist. At the moment it's all self education.
