k..obviously some of us dont have a sense of humour.
my response to the question as to what has happened to the other black kids  
in my daughter's school who suffer from asthma and allergies was suppose to be 
 funny because i am tired of trying to reason with you.    you  know..mice 
urine and all. its funny. lighten up.
 
but for those of us with no funny bones the straight answer is. they prefer  
to feel exactly as you do. that asthma and  allergiies are probably caused  by 
dust or mites or exercise induced or just a hereditary infliction to which  
there is no cure.  they are still sick.
okay eric maybe asthma can be caused by those things. 
 
and is dairy the cause of their problem. who knows? but giving the  factual 
and circumstantial evidence is it a very very good chance that dairy  either 
directly causes damaging immunological responses or directly irritates  
respiratory tissues to the point where your body can not handle simply dust or  mites 
causing asthma and other respiratory ailments. 
 
 they see what has happened with my kids. its night and day. 
in fact sometimes i hide how WELL my children are because it's  embaressing 
and causes them problems. i no longer can participate in the post  halloween 
"my kid is so sick" conversations.
 
so why dont these black families they give the theory a chance and  find out. 
 why doesnt everyone just give these "conspiracy theorist" a  chance and try 
it? .it's free.
why not?  
because  and i quote "its so much easier to just give them the inhaler  than 
to fight everyone about it".  Can you imagine my shock when i was told  this?? 
 nowadays an inhaler is like a status symbol. and being very healthy  among 
blacks is almost concidered ''trying to be white''.
 
 
so they use inhalers and miss school  and do all the typical  things people 
with respiratory/ bacterial and other infections do. they are NOT  well.
and their doctors support this condition of being not well.
 
 in fact one doctor when i told him what my herbalist was saying about  dairy 
products said to me quite paternally.  "okay so lets say dairy is a  problem, 
why do you want to submit your children to all of the ostracism in  school 
for not drinking milk when you can just have them take these"  and  he gives me 
zyrtec and a nasal spray that i forget the name of at the  moment.       huh? 
<see my lack of intelligence  post>
if you want to know what happened when my daughter took zyrtec ..ask. be  
happy to tell you.
 
 
No one is saying milk is the definitive cause of all disease. I am saying  
dairy products were the defining factor in every single one of my daughters'  
inflictions and there were very very many.  that's powerful proof and  dispite 
what you say that proof is being replicated daily hundreds of thousands  of 
times by others. you just prefer to read the TIMES.
 

however i will say that people like you eric, who desperately want to  
believe that something as innocent as milk cant POSSIBLY cause as much damage as  
"conspiracy theorist" are saying..and people like that doctor..who encourage you 
 not to rock the boat  and people like the doctor who stuffed my bag full of  
dairy baby formula when i left the hospital. they make it very very hard for 
a  person to ever find out wether it's actually mice urine or dairy causing 
the  problems.
