Lotus, side we're talking elimination diets..... I haven't researched it, in terms of NBE, but I've had to completely eliminate dairy due to cystic acne. Hormone IFG-1 can wreak havoc on our natural hormones....or at least for some of us!

The interesting thing is, I found my stalled growth resuming after eliminating dairy. As I said, haven't researched it too far, but found it interesting!

Excellent post 2timer,


I can see what you mean, judging from the steroid cascade in milk it looks more pro-DHT than promoting estrogen.

A search into the endocrine pathways that lead from cholesterol through five enzymatic steps to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) revealed that Dr. Darling’s hormones (progesterone, 5α-A and 5α-P) were all part of the DHT production pathway (Fig. 1) and so could conceiv- ably be metabolized to DHT right in the pilosebaceous unit, if the necessary enzymes were present.

Imo, the animal study below represents a clear link as to how humans process milk, true, IGF-1 greatly effects peeps differently. I'm also seeing that certain fillers in our supplements (cellulose) and others can be a ticking time bomb down the road, say after a long term NBE program as an example.

75 and 78% identity to the human sequence respectively (Figure 1). Both the rat and mouse sequences are consistent with the human genome sequence in the region of the intracellular loop 2—transmembrane helix 4 region rather than the published sequence (Sawzdargo et al., 1999)

Awesome stuff, thanks again.
