Pictures from 3rd Soft Cheese Workshop

Sorry, this is long overdue.  Here are the pics from last week's workshop.    Next workshop is on Sept. 22. check out our announcement at www.yogurtstation.blogspot.com.

The workshop started off with making cheese per se.  We needed to do this because we wanted to let our attendees bring home the cheeses they had made.

Budwig Diet and Yoggie's - Aiming to Help

I've just recently discovered the Budwig Diet which claims to help people with cancer even in the worst stage.  They seem to have about 90% success rate in their treatment while the 10 percent is attributed mainly to those that do not strictly adhere to the program.  This diet was made and prepared by a German Biochemist, Physicist Dr. Joanna Budwig.  Dr. Budwig was the top European Cancer Research Scientist who has earned a Nobel Prize for her work.

The diet combines flaxseed oil with either quark or cottage cheese.  According to the research, the combination of the cheese and the oil creates a chemical reaction that actually stops cancer cells from multiplying.  If you're interested, here's something to read.

We  know how hard it is to follow the budwig as there is hardly any fresh cottage cheese around.  Certainly not at the supermarkets.  Here at Yoggie's, you'll find the freshest cottage cheese - we deliver it to you within 24 hours of preparation.  We don't just want it that way, we insist on it.

We have cottage cheese and quark made from plain milk and from kefir too.  The kefir makes those type of cheese healthier.  One of our customers who does the Budwig Diet attests that she felt better.

The Amazing Kefir - A Personal Testimony

After much internet research, I found that Kefir is good for those who have food allergies. My daughter has had it since her infant days when we had to change milk several times because she reacted to them. In fact, she had been admitted to the hospital for allergic reactions that resulted in difficulty of breath. You could not really control it very well with her having 36 allergens at that time. Nearly impossible or so I thought.

It was after I had read so many books and researches that I found a way to manage this condition and bring her allergens down to 6. It was down to that number alright but her reactions were still the same her airways would narrow and she would have upper respiratory tract infection. Much to our disappointment, she is allergic to shellfish and crustaceans among others.

During a recent trip to Singapore though we noticed that she had no reaction whatsoever. This was despite her daily consumption of crabs and shrimps for the duration of our stay. She was so happy that she said she wished the allergies would never be back again. I asked if she had taken her allergy medicines and she promptly answered she didn't take anything but the kefir that I asked her to drink. She had taken kefir constantly for a month prior to our trip. That to me is amazing. You should have seen her reaction to her allergens before to truly appreciate what I mean. Being a nurse, I know that an allergic reaction could be life threatening.

Kefir Protects Against Radiation?

Well, what do you know? just when there's a radiation scare, I find a study that Milk Kefir actually protects against the effects of this cell damaging event(?) done by a group of Japanese researchers. This means that Kefir indeed is good for everyone specially during these times.

You can find it at http://www.jstage.jst.go.jp/article/jrr/44/2/111/_pdf entitled "The Protective Effect of Fermented Milk Kefir on Radiation-induced Apoptosis in Colonic Crypt Cells of Rats".
