This milk-based formula takes account of the fact that human milk is richer in whey, lactose, vitamin C, niacin, and long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids compared to cow’s milk but leaner in casein (milk protein). The addition of gelatin to cow’s milk formula will make it more digestible for the infant. Use only truly expeller-expressed oils in the formula recipes, otherwise they may lack vitamin E.
The ideal milk for baby, if the infant cannot be breast-fed, is clean, whole raw milk from old-fashioned cows, certified free of disease, that feed on green pasture. If the only choice available to you is commercial milk, choose whole milk, preferably organic and unhomogenized, and culture it with a pima or kefir culture to restore enzymes.
2 cups whole milk preferably unprocessed milk from pasture-fed cows 1/4 cup homemade liquid whey (See recipe for whey, below) 4 tablespoons lactose (2 or more tablespoons good quality cream (not ultrapasteurized), more if you are using milk from Holstein cows 1 teaspoon cod liver oil 1 teaspoon expeller-expressed sunflower oil
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive 611
2 teaspoons coconut oil
2 teaspoons Frontier brand nutritional yeast flakes 2 teaspoons gelatin 17/8 cups filtered water 1 teaspoon acerola powder
Add gelatin to water and heat gently until gelatin is dissolved. Place all ingredients in a very clean glass or stainless steel container and mix well. To serve, pour 6 to 8 ounces into a very clean glass bottle, attach nipple and set in a pan of simmering water.
Makes about 36 ounces
This liver-based formula also mimics the nutrient profile of mother’s milk. It is extremely important to include coconut oil in this formula as it is the only ingredient that provides the special medium-chain saturated fats found in mother’s milk. As with, the milk-based formula, all oils should be truly expeller-expresse
3 3/4 cups homemade beef or chicken broth 2 ounces organic liver, cut into small pieces 5 tablespoons lactose 1 teaspoon bifidobacterium infantis 1/4 cup homemade liquid whey (See recipe for whey))
1 tablespoon coconut oil, 1 teaspoon cod liver oil
Heat until warm but not hot to the touch, shake bottle well and feed baby. (Never, never heat formula in a microwave oven!) Note: If you are using the Lact-Aid, mix all ingredients well in a
blender.)

Ultraviolet В light is strongest in summer and in the middle of the day (10.00 a.m. to 3.00 p.m.). It penetrates through clouds and fifty per cent penetrates through water. In addition, about eighty-five per cent reflects off surfaces such as snow, concrete and sand. It is, however, almost totally blocked by windows, glass and perspex. There are a number of things we can do to protect ourselves from the harmful effects of sunlight.
Stay indoors
It is best to stay indoors during the middle of the day when the ultraviolet light is at its most intense. Children should be encouraged to play outdoors only in the early morning or late in the afternoon. It is also best to schedule tennis and other sporting activities for these times.
Physical shade
Shade can be created safely and inexpensively with careful planning. Natural sun protection can be created by such things as trees, roofs and pergolas which can easily be used around swimming pools and playgrounds.
Wide-brimmed hats should be worn outdoors. To effectively protect you from the sun a hat must have a five-centimeter brim and should be made of tightly woven material—when you hold it up to the sun you should not be able to see through it. Clothing also provides excellent protection from the sun. Again, tightly woven fabrics are best. If you swim in a T-shirt, you should change into a dry one when you come out of the water.
Physical sunscreens
Shade will not protect you from sun which reflects off sand, snow and concrete. Sunscreens are therefore necessary for areas such as the face and hands. Physical sunscreens which contain zinc or titanium dioxide are best as they completely block out both ultraviolet A and ultraviolet В light and are nontoxic and non-irritating. The main drawbacks of physical sunscreens are that they may not look very attractive and they tend to stain clothing.
Physical sunscreens have been available for over fifty years in the form of stage make-up and zinc creams. Indeed, the old-fashioned, thick, pancake make-ups are still the best sunscreens available as they block out all ultraviolet rays and stay on for many hours. Other good sunscreen make-ups include Clinique Continuous Coverage, Dermablend and Dermacolor. Recently florescent zinc creams have become very popular. They are effective sunscreens and are fun for children but are extremely difficult to wash out of clothing.

Surgery and radiotherapy are both local forms of treatment. This means that they act only where they are applied and not in other parts of the body. Obviously they have a chance of being successful only if all of the cancer is within the treated area. A lung cancer starting near the heart and extending into it would not be cured by removing the lung. Radiotherapy for the same lung cancer would have no chance of controlling it unless the heart was included in the area being treated. Local treatment cannot be properly planned until the local extent of disease is known. To assess this, the doctor must firstly find out exactly what symptoms the patient is having and then examine him or her carefully. Depending where in the body the primary growth is, endoscopic methods, X-rays, scans or other tests might also be useful. For example, if a patient with lung cancer complains of chest pain, the doctor should suspect that the cancer has grown out of the lung into nearby structures because cancer in the lung itself is not painful. With or without pain, bronchoscopy, mediastinoscopy, ordinary X-rays and CT scanning are tests which should be considered before deciding to go ahead with surgery. Surgical removal of part or all of the lung should not be attempted until it is fairly sure that removal of the whole cancer is possible.
