So the doctor may recommend Soy milk next. If the soy formula contains, lactose and if the child's system is unable to quickly rid itself of the lactose the problems continue. Rashes will develop, the child becomes hyper-tense, often hyperactive and has problems sleeping. The tension makes it hard to relax and concentrate and therefore interferes with the learning process. It is the lactose induced hypertension that concerns us here.
Tension restricts blood flow and inhibits the body's ability to repair itself.
This, plus the fact that tension puts added pressure on one's joints is how I see arthritis developing from lactose induced tension. The connection between milk and arthritis has also been noted by other researchers. It is very, difficult to prove the relationships I have just described. Human life is very complex and often several things can cause the same symptoms. For a number of years, a friend of mine was admitted to the hospital a couple of times a year, with chronic symptoms the doctors were treating as pneumonia using oxygen tents and antibiotics.
