I don't have the dark circles (off topic), but my daughter and i stopped dairy when she was very ill as a toddler (pneumonia, croup, constant conjunctivitis and tonsillitis). The allopathic doctors reckoned it was rubbish, but the naturopath suggested going off ALL dairy. It means checking the ingredients list on all packaged food. She was perfectly well again after the dairy had left her system, all up about 3 months later. But she had been VERY sick. It wouldn't surprise me that dark circles would be related.
The dairy sensitivity we have doesn't show up on the usual tests, you can only tell by going off it. I'm told its the cow's milk protein that causes it with us, ours is a sort of overstimulation of mucous problem, but I'd agree with purplepower and Alvin about the downside of milk. Just think about it, it's for baby cows, not grown humans! Hard to imagine it could be good for us...
Joy to you
Hazel
