"... And it turns out that that was actually the solution. That if you drink NOTHING BUT milk, then it's a completely different digestive effect than drinking it when there are still other foods in your body."
So it seems this is not important in establishing the right gut bugs? Feeding just with milk because later on you say use resistant starch and eat two meals in addition to the milk?
The Facebook post was simplified in order to keep the focus on the story of how God has worked in my life.
The milch regimen is posted here which discusses all of the fine details of using milk to feed the colon:
"When A Turk's Bowels Move Less Than Three Times A Day, He Consults A Physician."
Within that post, raw starch is also mentioned to be able to be similarly used to lactose in order to achieve similar effect of feeding the colon. It wasn't until recently - 2-3 months after doing the milch regimen for weeks - that someone suggested adding raw potato starch into the diet as a means of increasing the amount of slow-digesting sugar that reaches the colon. By this point I have been able to eat things like spinach, bread, and fruit preserves without too much of a setback compared to the state I was in 6 months ago... As far as I can tell, I received the most benefit I could from the milch regimen and now I can eat regular meals with lean meats and leafy vegetables, so I have been with steady progress.
I still drink quite a bit of milk from day to day, so it wasn't anything crazy to add in a few tablespoons of potato starch to the usual allotment and it just happened to have an incredible effect on my overall health as I've mentioned in this thread to the point that the coloration of my face was normal upon waking. This is the first time I can remember that being the case in probably 7 years. It's a very big deal.
The facebook anecdote has me confused. Did you or didn't you drink ONLY milk and have the psoriasis abate? When did you add the RS? If those photo dates are correct how do you even know the skin condition is more generally cured? We are talking Oct 13 for the first picture correct?
Yeah, October 13 was where I was after weeks on the milch regimen and then adding in 8 ounces of spinach, some steak, 500-1,000mg of vitamin C as acerola cherry powder, and a half-dose of a whole food multivitamin daily. I think I answered the other parts of this in the first section.
Sorry if I sound negative, not my intent but please just let us know what you did and when you did it so people can decide if they want to go back to something they maybe tried in their bad ole low carb days, which would be me.
If someone has been low carb for a long time, I'm of the opinion that they need to fruit fast until their insulin sensitivity comes back to normal. The likelihood of dysbiosis also increases when bacteria are generally starved as they would be if a person is eating less than 40g of carbs a day. Just all of a sudden drinking a bunch of milk would be a disaster for the ex low-carber.
BTW, I suffer in the exact same way as you. Facial psoriasis if I drink milk which I truly love drinking and makes me feel great until things like bad bugs - given a new lease on life cause problems. I can eat cheese and that's what I do about 3 or 4 ounces a day but it doesn't feel like a food I thrive on. It gives me no problems though so I eat it for the calories and the calcium. Thanks.
Parmigiano-Reggiano was a primary food for me for a short time. I understand where you're coming from here.
All I can really say for sure is that my tongue wasn't completely clear and my bowel movements didn't lose their foul odor until I had done two doses separated by about 50 days from each other of 1 teaspoon of 100% pure gum spirits of turpentine + 1/4cup of castor oil taken together. After this time I was qualified to begin the milch regimen which is mostly milk fasting but there are many details that go along with it that it's not as easy as just buying gallons of milk and living on them as hunger hits.
