Re FW�s comments about people drinking sour milk -
Africans do the same and call it Maas. In Kenya some mix cows� blood with it
which gives them animal protein without slaughtering their assets.
Sour milk provides vitamin B12 which fresh milk doesn�t.
Vegetarian Indians in India get B12 from sour milk and from the dead insects
in their food.
A book has just been sent to me from a US client. It is called The Untold
Story of Milk by Ron Schmid ND and has a sub-heading - Green Pastures,
Contented Cows and Raw Dairy Foods. ISBN 0-9670897-4-3 US$20.
It is an eye-opener and very interesting with a wide range of information.
RE FUNNY THINGS
In Japan the bathroom in typical homes has a square soaking tub of hot water
and the bathroom floor slopes to the centre where there is a drain hole.
When bathing they squat on the floor and wash themselves with soap and
water, rinse it off then get in the hot tub up to their neck and soak.
Because others have soaked in the water, when they get out they wash again
with soap and water and rinse it off.
I could not get into the tub because it was so hot so I was not long in the
bathroom. When I came out all dressed I was told that a short bath was a bad
bath.
Anyway the reason for this introduction is that the same Japanese guy (no
names) came to New Zealand and stayed with a friend in a two level home.
The Japanese guy went for a bath and soon after the host saw water running
down the stairs. The Japanese had filled the bath and then got in.
In Malaysia in a big home the bathroom had no bath and no shower. There was
a 20 gallon drum full of cold water (Malaysia is hot all year) and a cooking
pot with a handle. The host explained that they use, �the pour-on method�.
