Undenaturated Whey Protein

| I've been taking the UWP for several weeks now and this past week I have felt significantly better. I have been able to power walk every day. I know this illness is cyclical but I think the UWP is making a difference. I started out with one scoop in wa
ter one hour before any other food/medication but it was suggested to me to increase my protein intake so I have increased to two scoops. It really seems to help me stay more physically balanced too.
Thank you Bobbie for all the info. on the UWP!
In addition I started going to sleep one hour earlier (11:00 pm) and getting up an hour earlier so I can do a full Qi Gong practice daily. Both the change in the sleep cycle (I read that it is best to go to sleep as close to 10:00 pm as possible as tha
t is when the body's natural biorythms are ready for sleep--I prepare for sleep between 10:00 and 11:00 by reading or doing something very peaceful) and the QiGong seem to be helping me a great deal as well..
I've had about 5 diamonds on board (on a 1-10) most days this week which is a great improvement over 2-3.
Love & blessings,
Pamela

Hi Pamela,
I'm glad you're feeling a little better, that's great! My naturopath is also
really pushing me to go to bed earlier, but in my case, my bedtime is 3AM!
I've been on that schedule for about 5 years now, so it's a tough habit to
change. Since I have been shown to have adrenal insufficiency, my doctor thinks
that my sleep patterns are surely contributing to the lack of cortisol as well
as preventing my adrenals from healing. Although I am not doing Qi Gong, I
have found a that a very small amount of physical exercise really helps me
feel better, as long as I don't over-do it (like I did yesterday). I stretch for
long periods of time, I rollerblade for 10 minute sessions, and I try to do
some toning exercises like leg lifts and crunches, but usually those make me
feel sick, so I can only do a few. Anyway, have you experienced any side
effects from UWP? I have REALLY wanted to try it for a while now, but honestly,
I'm scared to because I've heard that it can make you feel worse initially,
and I feel bad enough now. UWP helps detox your body, right? Because of this,
do you feel icky detox symptoms/flu-like symptoms? Even if these symptoms do
occur, I am more than willing to try UWP, I think, because any long-term
benefits far outweigh any initial discomfort. Anyway, I'm glad you're feeling a
bit better!

Just to put my 2 cents in: I've been taking UWP for over a year, my CFS
(of 12 years) has been in about 60% remission for the past 6 months, and
I never had any negative reactions to the UWP.

Ginny,
60% remission!? That's wonderful! I really wanted to talk to my naturopath
about UWP; hopefully, she can recommend a good brand that is ideal for milk
sensitive individuals. I think that I've read that MOST UWP is suitable for
those with a milk allergy, but I guess some brands are better than others?
Anyway, congratulations on feeling so much better!

| Dina,
The brand I take (Solgar) and I assume other UWP contains no lactose.
But of course it is milk protein (casein?) and the label clearly says
"contains milk". If you are actually allergic to casein I don't think
you could tolerate any UWP. But if you're just lactose intolerant it
should be fine.
I can't be sure UWP is the reason for my current remission (only the 2nd
in 12 years), but I believe it is a major factor.

It depends on whether your allergy is to casein, the insouble
protein in milk or whey, the souble protein or lactose the
principle carbohydrate in milk.
The only way to tell is to try the UWP. I found it did not
cause an exhaberation of my symptoms. Apparently it is casein
to which I am sensitive. Shouldn't have eaten all that cottage
cheese in my salad days I guess.

Sorry to contradict you but I must.
Casein is the insouble protein in milk.
Whey is the souble protein and no brand of UWP should
contain more than the smallest traces of Casein.
Remember whey is derived from cheese making. Cheese is
made from the casein, milk fat and lactose. The whey is left
over and was fed to animals before a French doctor found another
use for it.
My UWP is Jarrows and it says right on the label 100%
whey protein.

Now I have to go for my eye exam. None of my prescription are
ideal any longer.

Hi Bobbie,
That is what I thought I had read, I'm glad you mentioned it. Thanks!

| Hi Bobbie and everyone else,
I actually do think it is casein that I am sensitive to, rather than the
lactose, but I still really want to give the UWP a try. Like I said, I'm going
to mention it to my naturopath first, but I really think it is an option
because sometimes I can get away with having dairy products and feel fine.
