My Kid is a Damn Nutter

There's a dedicated hippotherapy place here in Austin, I'm surprised they didn't mention it in the article.

Can I be a cynic for a minute? I'm sure the shamans were great and all, but I bet it also really helped that while in Mongolia he probably had to eat Mongolian food, i.e. no dairy or wheat.

Didn't the Mongols invent yogurt? I suspect there's some dairy in Mongolia.

On the other hand, we live with a lot of manufactured chemicals in modern society. I bet there's a lot fewer in Mongolia.

Yak, reindeer, and goat would be vaguely dairy but I doubt the chemical composition would be the same.

My kids have never reacted to goat, sheep or buffalo dairy products - where as they get rashes, intestinal problems and/or bad attitudes from cow... although not nearly as bad now as when they were younger (40% tend to outgrow dairy sensitivities).

Also, but unrelated to food sensitivity, IGF-1 is identical in humans and cows. Google IGF-1 and cancer if you don't know what that means.
