This formula has whey in it ! That's a milk protein. Why would this even be considered?

Subject: homemade liver-based formula
Hello Wise Ones,
Mom with chronic milk supply issues, had a freezer full of donated milk which she had to give away since baby couldn't'tolerate the dairy in the donations ( nor her, either, of course),baby with multiple issues, released tongue tie, severe eczema, reflux, is seeing local breastfeeding medicine specialist, pediatrician, and allergist, and has now been talking to a 'traditional foods' person, who suggested a liver-based homemade formula. I am not knowledgeable enough to know whether this is a good option ( especially since the ingredients and the digestive enzymes and probiotics this person is recommending/selling are expensive and this mom constantly borders on being completely overwhelmed. This her second child, severe, deathly allergy issues with 3 year old as well as the new 3 month old to monitor.She cannot even really maintain her diet to do an elimination trial over more than a few weeks or so...) Wonder if anyone has thoughts on this:
Recommendation:
_http://www.realmilk.com/formularecipes.html#lbf_

liver oil or 1 teaspoon regular cod liver oil3
* 1 teaspoon unrefined sunflower oil1
* 2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil1
* 1/4 teaspoon acerola powder1,2
* (SORRY I can't get rid of the bullets, this is now me typing again:
I know this is a lot of information, but if anyone has experience with homemade formulas of any kind, any kind of experience, it would be helpful.
* Thanks,
* Peace,
* Judy
