One interesting thing about me is that for about 15 years now I've been living about 92% on cream and milk (cow product, not vegan.) So every day 92% of my calories come from a combination of fluid whipping cream (they call it “whipping” cream on the package, but you don’t have to whip it, you can drink it straight like I do), half-and-half (half cream and half milk), and whole, 2%, 1%, and skim milk (don’t necessarily drink all of these every day.) For me this diet has been good for my physical and mental health. In particular I can say that when I eat appreciable amounts of solid food my eyes hurt, but when I live 92% on milk and cream they feel okay.
I think there are some reasons why my eyes feel better on the milk/cream diet. When a person eats or drinks something, their digestive system breaks it up. Then the system extracts the nutrients from whatever they ate or drank and sends them around in the blood to the cells. One might think that when the system breaks up solid food and sends it to the cells, the nutrients are just as broken-up as the milk/cream nutrients when they reach the cells. But my experience is that this isn't so, that in fact the solid food nutrients aren't as broken up as the milk/cream nutrients when they reach the cells (perhaps because solid food isn't as broken up as milk and cream before one consumes it in the first place), and thus the solid food nutrients clog and irritate the cells more than the milk/cream ones, leading to pain and dysfunction.
I can't recommend this diet to anyone else because it hasn't been proven to be a healthy, adequate diet for human beings, but I can say that it has been good for me and I don't think my body is too different from anyone else's. I have the idea that living 92% on cream and milk might alleviate many diseases, such as cancer, AIDS, depression, and so on (for the reason mentioned above, about the cream/milk nutrients interfering less with cell function than solid food nutrients.) I mention my idea on many forums devoted to these various illnesses to see if someone might try it and whether it will help (always being careful to point out that the diet hasn’t been proven to be adequate for human beings.) I also tend to believe that with the diet being less clogging and irritating to the cells, even people who have good physical health would find they think better and perform better on the diet.
The diet comes from the Masai tribe of Kenya, who are known for living only on products from their cows, milk, cream, and beef. The Masai have one important principle related to food mixing. They say “If a man eats meat and drinks milk on the same day, he is a glutton.”
Mostly I avoid being a glutton since I don't eat much solid food, including meat. However, I do occasionally eat meat on the same day I drink cream and milk. It feels like on any given day I nee to mostly drink milk and cream for my health, but also need to get a little meat occasionally for my health. This is how I justify occasionally mixing meat and milk. I'm not a glutton in the sense I'm thin. I'm close to 6 feet, two inches, and maintain around 144 pounds.
