‐“TheHompesMethod”
TwoKindsofReacTonsagainstMilk
• Itisknownthatmilkiscapableofcausingatleasttwodifferentkindsallergic‐typeresponses(forsimplicity’ssake).
• ThereacTonmenTonedmostoXeniscalledlactoseintolerance,whichisnotactuallyanallergicreacTon.
• Itoccurswhenyoudonothaveenoughoftheenzymelactaseitobreakdownthesugar–knownaslactose–incow’smilk.
LactoseIntoleranceSymptoms
• Lactoseintolerantindividualstendtostrugglewith:– bloaTng– excessgas– abdominalpain– loosestools– diarrhea– HeartburnHmmm…similartomanyofthesymptomsHpylori,Giardia,Cryptosporidiumandotherbadbugscancause!
LactoseIntolerance
• Itisgenerallybelievedthatonceyouhavelactoseintolerance,youhaveitforlife.
• Butwenowknowthatlactoseintoleranceisusuallyanoutcomeofotherissuesratherthanthecoreproblem.
• Thus,itcanbe“fixed”inmanypeople.
LactoseIntolerance
• YoulearnedpreviouslyaboutthedestrucTvepowerofglutenandhowithasthepotenTaltocauseagreatdealofintesTnaldamage.
• ThecellsinyourintesTnalliningthatproducethelactaseenzymeareamongthosedamaged.
LactoseIntolerance
• Thismeansthatmanyfolkarestrugglingwithlactoseintolerancebecausetheyareintolerantofgluten.
• Onmanyoccasionswehavewitnessedclients’abilitytodigestcow’smilkimprovesignificantlyaXeraperiodofTmeonagluten‐freediet.

ChronicDigesTveInfecTons
• Justlikegluten,badbacteria,parasitesandyeast/fungalovergrowthcandamageyourintesTne.Thelactoseintolerancewon’tgoawayunTltheGiardiabugshavebeendealtwith.
• Giardia,forexample,isknowntocreatelactoseintoleranceininfectedpeople(anotherreasontogetacomprehensivestooltestdone!).
Giardia
• Giardiahasasuckerthatenablesittoa^achtotheintesTneandcausedamage.
• WeseequiteafewpeoplewithGiardia–it’sverycommon.
• IBS,faTgue,bloaTng,loosstoolsandhivesaresomeofthesymptoms.
“Progesterone”andLactoseIntolerance
• Dr.RayPeat,Ph.D.,hasdevelopedanothertheoryaboutlactoseintolerance.
• Dr.PeatcontendsthatthehormoneprogesteroneisneededtomanufacturelactaseintheintesTne.
• Adeficiencyinthishormonecanresultintheinabilitytomanufactureadequatelevelsoflactase.
• Butwhywouldprogesteronelevelsdecline?
Stress!
Stress–initsmanyforms‐isubiquitousintoday’senvironmentandcomesinmanyforms:– Dietarystresssuchasglutenandprocessedfood– BloodsugarfluctuaTons– Traumaandinjurystress
– Exercisestress–toomuchortooli^le– Chemical‐80,000manmadetoxins– Mental,emoTonalandspiritualstress
Stress,cont.
• WhenourbodiesareunderanycombinaTonofstress,wemakestresshormonesinlargeramounts.
• Onestresshormone–corTsol–ismadedirectlyfromprogesterone.
• Thus,themorecorTsolisneeded,thelessprogesteronetherewillgenerallybe.
• AnyformofchemicalcontracepTvewillalsoknockoutprogesterone.
LowProgesteroneSymptoms
• Inwomen,lowprogesteroneisresponsibleformenstrualsymptomssuchasPMS,cyclicalheadachesandmigraines,moodswings,painfulandlumpybreastsandperiodpains/menstrualcramps.
• Lowthyroidandallitssymptoms.
• LowprogesteroneisimplicatedasacauseofinferTlity.
