Goat farmer in france - growing goats naturally without chemicals

Source: French channel on 26th Nov 2016 program on a farmer, a fisherman, a cheese-maker, and a fish-smoking seller

A french farmer who was rearing goats and selling the milk says the following;

We love our farming.

We let the goats wander in the natural habitat. Goats are finicky animals. They don't go out when it rains. Today, it is drizzling a little bit, so they are going out. Otherwise, they wouldn't. Our goats move a lot in the sun. Whereas other people who do industrial farming always put their goats under shelter.

Food for goats - our goats eat about 800 grams per day, mostly grass out in the nature. Whereas industrial type farmers give 2-5 times more food to their goats.

Milk yield - our goats give less milk. Although industrial type farmers get more milk, their goats eat lot more food.

Chemicals - we don't give any chemicals to our goats. Because if we give chemicals to goats, then it comes back in the milk, and then into cheese and then into us when we eat the cheese.

Summary - we let out goats grow naturally in the sun and nature eating grass. We have been doing this for a long time although the yield is low. Other farmer grow their goats differently, to each his own.

Foods that help reduce dry skin

Vitamin A rich foods like green leafy vegetables (e.g. kale, spinach etc.,).

Zinc rich foods like oysters, crabs and meat. Zinc reduces oil production.

Vitamin C e.g. oranges

Green tea

Sulfur rich foods like eggs, garlic

Bill Allen‎ to Principia Carnivora

I went zero carb for 8 months and very strict. My blood pressure went to 198/126 had to get off of it. Read "Eat Right for Your Type" and found out the A blood types should not eat meat. I started a vegan diet and a month and a half later my blood pressure is 120/80. Type O blood types should be carnivores and they do well on this diet. My wife is a type O blood type and is doing well on ZC. One diet does not fit all. Type As should beware on a ZC diet.

Lily Pisal Interesting. I'd never looked into this whole blood type thing until now. This could possibly be the reason I don't do well with chicken, pork, and shellfish (I'm type B) but thrive on lamb and beef. And when I say I don't do well, I mean it leaves me feel unsatisfied—like I need to keep eating beyond full and sometimes even feel like I'm battling carb cravings. This is where Esmée's comment about blood sugar makes sense. (I don't think it's a histamine issue, because I do fine with aged lamb and beef but even the freshest of pork and chicken don't leave me feeling so good afterwards and tend to slow down my weight loss. Fermented dairy, on the other hand, has never been a problem for me, even though I haven't had any since I started ZC.)

Anne Osbaldeston I'm type O and enjoy the taste of pork but don't feel well after eating it. Do best on beef. Can do lamb and fowl occasionally. Some dairy and eggs. Cream and butter is best for dairy. Tend to overeat it in other forms.

Regardless, I still had that fear in the back of my mind. It took a long time to let go of that. After a year or so, I finally let go of that anxiety.

I still know that we don't have everything figured out yet and there is a lingering uncertainty about pretty much everything, but I am just okay with it now. I have embraced the mystery and just try to do my best to make good decisions based on my experience, what I have learned, and being aware of what isn't known. Also, learning correctly and caring about where our information is coming from matters when it comes to how a person makes good decisions.

You need to get calories from somewhere, should it be from carbohydrate or fat?

Jay Rivera Metformin did absolutely nothing but make me one miserable, irritable, pissed-off hombre....the gastrointestinal b.s. drove me crazy.
1000mg -2 x a day was useless in bringing BG numbers down, they steadily rose instead.
Dropped it as soon as I started ZC & guess what?, BG went down, weight dropped and haven't missed that bit of misery since.
Sure, if it works for you in controlling whatever ails you, then all the power to ya...I just couldn't tolerate it.

Hanna Achepohl It can take up to 3 months for your body to get used to it and not cause gastrointestinal issues. But it sounds like you don't need it now anyway, which is awesome.

Jay Rivera For four years I sheepishly took that crap......That's what my doctor kept stating every time I'd call to bitch & moan about its effect on my gut, "give it time..", "your body needs to adjust to the meds".....
I even tried the extended release formula....which my doctor said she took herself.
4 years later, I dropped her services & the meds...blah, blah, blahhhhh......lol
