interesting. I've never been a milk fan and my mother, being health
informed by her mother who was a follower of Bircher in Switzerland,
always used to tell us that milk wasn't for grownups. She never had
much
in the house. She herself was allergic when a child and was given
goat's
milk as a substitute. Don't know why she wasn't nursed. She nursed me
till
I got teeth.

I like Walker's books alot and use them often.
thanks for the feedback. sorry for the delayed response.
I've been swamped with life commitments these past weeks.
