New registrants: if you try to register you will get a message that we are not accepting new members. Due to the limitations of this forum software which is not designed to deal with incessant CIA harrassment, we have no alternative but to disable automatic registration, and then we can't change this automatic message. Your account needs to be created by admin before you can post in the forums. Because otherwise, almost all registrants are CIA sock puppets. To get a forum account you need to send a brief presentation email to loohanforum at gee mail dot com, also suggesting a user name. Then we can enable you manually. But before you even do that, take a look around the forum and my site and decide whether you REALLY WANT to join/post, before you jack us around. Most seemingly genuine people who apply fail to even ever log in once to change their password after we go through the work of creating a membership for them. Then we must quickly delete their account again lest the CIA has intercepted their temporary password. And of the few who do change their password, most still never post. Maybe they realize we are too weird for them, I don't know. They get real quiet, never to be heard from again.

Re: Eating meat, and wheat.
So, wait, I don't have to already have the grains ( or the starter)?? I can just buy some organic kefir, add the milk, leave it out like the normal process calls for, and this is good enough?? I read this somewhere, and that'll be great if it works well enough to suffice. I don't have a starter, and heard you NEED to get the actual kefir grains or at least get a starter (definitely can't find ANYONE with grains). I also heard you can only use the starter about 7 times or so. But maybe that's bs from someone who doesn't know to feed it with milk periodically.
P.S. You are very fortunate to have access to A2 milk! Guernsey cows, eh? I am envious. I believe my raw milk comes from Jersey cows, which are at least A2 dominant, usually about two-thirds A2 genetics. I'll TAKE it over Holstein milk any day.
I have never seen the grains. You can probably re-use kefir from a batch of kefir for a long time, maybe indefinitely.
Actually i think the cows i get milk from are Jersey. I didn't know they had some A1 genes. I am just going off of what Mercola sez:
"A2 cows ... are the older breeds of cows (e.g. Jerseys, Asian and African cows)."

Ok so apparently this is just an issue of semantics. The term "grains" refers to the cauliflower-looking thing you have, and the term "starter" generally refers to the cultures in powdered form. The main difference between these is said to be the number of different live beneficial bacteria cultures, grains having more. And like I said I can't find anyone with grains. So I made some last night with some store-bought (grass-fed Jersey cow) kefir. It was thin compared to what I've had before, but who cares... it tasted outstanding... tangy, with that sour note. Perfect. Already started second batch. Thanks heaps for the awesome tip!
