I eat a 100% raw vegan diet and have been struggling with severe insomnia for 2 months. I visited a naturopath this week who suggested, after a lengthy discussion of my habits and lifestyle, that the missing component is cholesterol and she suggested I add raw cow or goat milk to my diet. I am unable to find any research that supports the body not producing it's own cholesterol. When I presented this to her, she said that it can if has to, but it isn't ideal. I am not keen on the idea of introducing an animal product into my diet for various reasons, but I want to be informed. I would prefer to drink raw milk from a goat raised in a safe and comfortable environment over taking a pharmaceutical; however I don't want to do it unless I can find some sort of research supporting that what she's telling me is correct. Does anyone have any experience with this?
