hi all. newbie here *wave*
several years ago, a blend of yoghurt and 1 raw egg was recommended by an n.g.o to people living with HIV/AIDS as a way to regrow their hair. i forget the name of the organization now. they also suggested washing hair with the juice of tomato leaves. anyway, at the time, i started drinking the egg/natural yoghurt blend to grow my hair, my friends and i figured if it worked for immuno-compromised people it would definitely work for us. i didnt do it long enough to see results though, mostly because i couldnt afford the yoghurt.
when i first came on to this site and saw this thread i thought wow, so there was some truth to that old thing, even though y'all are using milk instead of yoghurt.
i started my version of the cocktail two days ago (today was my third day) and after the first day i decided blending and then washing the blender was just too much trouble for every day, so i started beating the mix in a cup, using just a fork. my mom told me a long time ago that the key to getting the egg smell to go away is to beat the egg really well before mixing it with anything, so i do that. i avoid looking into the cup until the egg is well-beaten, if i see it streaky i just cant get it down, dont even mention that 'umbilical cord' thing to me. eww.
i break the egg into a cup and beat it with a fork really well, then i add a tub of plain fat-free natural yoghurt, a tablespoon of raw oat bran (thats what i had i'll get raw wheatgerm when that's finished), a tablespoon of wheatgerm oil and a tablespoon of coconut oil.
so far so good, i'll be reporting back regularly. i cant drink it with milk, i think that would make me gag, i'm sure the yoghurt makes it that much more palatable.
please let me know if there's anything wrong/beneficial in using yoghurt instead of milk.
