ALLERGIC TO COW OR GOAT MILK?
Such allergies cause a wide range of often undiagnosed problems. Being told to come
off 'Dairy Products' usually only means Cow milk products, NOT sheep or goats'.
Calcium deficiency can occur if all milk products are eliminated from the diet.

ASTHMA, ECZEMA AND SKIN PROBLEMS -
Books written for the Asthma Research Council and the National Eczema Society
recommend a change to sheep and goat products to aid the treatment of these and
other related problems.
