The cure for lactose intolerance

I've found the cure for lactose intolerance! Well, for me at least. After doing my fast a few weeks ago, I became lactose intolerant. Meaning, every time I had a bit of cow dairy product  I would immediately swell up with gas (painfully so) and then spend the next 12 hours killing everyone around me with, you know, a non-pleasant odor. (Goat products were no problem so I could still get my cheese fix.)

I mentioned it to my chiropractor during a visit, and she determined my immune system was stressed, as were my ovaries (well, hey, I am  turning 45) and recommended some resources for progesterone cream to help my hormones out a few days.

I ended up buying some Jason's Natural Cosmetics wild yam cream, a natural (and non-cancer-causing) form of progesterone to rub on  three times a day for a week, and a bottle of NOW liquid echinacea to boost my immune system for about a week.

After a few days I tested it out by eating some cow's milk cheese. I experienced a very mild reaction. By the end of the week, I ate a few slices of Parmesan and had a healthy helping of milk in my coffee and guess what?! NO reaction at all. I am cured. Who'da thunk?
