  • If milk is taken in large quantity, its calcium content and other minerals in it check stomach acidity.

    The efficacy of regain, an enzyme oozing in the stomach is reduced with the result that small quantities of split milk in stomach become smooth.


  • If an exclusive milk-diet is taken in large quantity , its lactose directly reaches the intestines and inactivates the bacteria which cause fermentation and putrefaction in the intestines.

    A patient on exclusive milk-diet is made to take 6 litres of milk during the latter half of the treatment period out of which 500 g of lactose directly reach intestines.
