My dad had a heart attack, you don't survive 50 of those. ... Yet I wonder why, he doesn't own stock in big dairy or anything.
I have no idea why he doesn't own stock. I have no idea about him heart attacks either. I don't remember reading anything about him and heart attacks, nor him talking about it. I believe it's possible. I told doctors for six years that my son was stopping breathing every few minutes every time he slept. The doctors thought I must be making it up, and waiting six year to do a sleep study. Finally they did a 313 minute sleep study on him. They told me if he stopped breathing 50 times, that would be extreme, and very dangerous. That people die all the time from that. Well, the results of the sleep study came in, and it detailed that in 313 minutes, he stopped breathing 300 times. They had never seen that before. They said they don't know why he's alive. They don't know how he gets himself to breath again so many times. So as I see it, many things are possible, that we have just never seen.
Maybe this is what got me interested in reading AV's book and then trying his diet. What he wrote, if true, is outrageous. My life has been outrageous in more ways than what I wrote. Since crazy stuff happens to me, well, it's kind of like there's a kinship. I feel an understanding deeper than I see elsewhere, in how I need.
Oh, and the raw homemade unpasteurized grassfed kefir, it's the first thing that's actually reduced my son's number of apnea episodes. Raw vegan didn't help, raw fruitarian didn't help, Living Food Lifestyle didn't help it, and a huge list of other things didn't put a dent in it either. Hopefully he won't always need dairy and will be well on his own without it. In the meanwhile, it's giving him a chance. You don't need aajonus' knowledge, but I do. Different paths for different situations. Raw milk helps other people too though, that don't have apnea, there's all kinds of situations.
While we're on the topic of fat in the primal diet section, I used suet yesterday, and today my hands are cold like when I use olive oil. The butter always helps the temperature of my hands.
