I guess what I'm asking was more like, does the homeopath have any idea
what it is in the milk that causes the problem? If he doesn't know,
that's a perfectly fine response, of course, and more honest than most,
but I'd think he'd want  to know, and I bet that experiments have been
done somewhere to isolate the source of the reaction, even if it is
something so inherent to dairy milk as to make its removal impossible.
One culprit that has come to light is lactose; I have to assume there
are others as well.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but _are_ there any regions of
Europe where little milk is used? I'm aware of places in Europe where
few fruits and vegetables grow, and milk, meat, and fish comprise the
main part of the diet (Greenland, Iceland, and parts of Finland, for
example). I don't think I've ever heard of any place in Europe where the
reverse applies... .
