This is a very important subject and to get the full impact of how our species was nourished and thrived on raw milk, only to have it manipulated and presented as “BAD” is a story unto itself and as horrific as it is, it’s fascinating. All my patients are required to buy this book, The Untold Story of Milk, by Schmid. As parents and future parents I think it imperative that we educate ourselves by close investigation of what we are being told about this and nutrition in general, so we can make wise, educated decisions on how we feed ourselves and our children. Please don’t expect the truth from the manufacturers of processed foods and pasteurized milk. Every household should have a copy of The Untold Story of Milk, Schmid. The politics of the denigration of this well balanced food that has sustained our species since we became a species and still does for numerous cultures throughout the world, is an important history to understand. As Sally Fallon of the Weston Price Foundation states, “Pasteurization destroys enzymes, diminishes vitamin content, denatures fragile milk proteins, destroys vitamin B12 and vitamin B6, kills beneficial bacteria, promotes pathogens and is associated with allergies, increased tooth decay, colic in infants, growth problems in children, osteoporosis, arthritis, heart disease and cancer.” Calves fed pasteurized milk die before maturity. Raw milk sours naturally, but pasteurized milk turns putrid and processors must remove slime and pus from pasteurized milk by a process of centrifugal clarification. Inspection of dairy herds for disease is not required for pasteurized milk, thus we end up drinking milk from cows that could be sick. Farms that sell certified raw milk MUST have their herbs checked for illnesses, the commercial farmers do not. The practice of heating milk to kill germs was instituted in the 20s to combat TB, infant diarrhea, undulant fever and other diseases caused by poor animal nutrition and dirty production methods. But times have changed and modern stainless steel tanks, milking machines, refrigerated trucks and inspection methods make pasteurization absolutely unnecessary for public protection. Clean raw milk from certified healthy cows is available commercially in several states and may be bought directly from the farm in many more. Under Delicious Recipes, I have an Organic Raw Milk Shake that contributes significantly to the success of getting my patients pregnant. It’s delicious, filling, and supports the hormones magnificently. Whole Foods now carry Organic Raw Milk, Butter, Cream and a small variety of cheeses. The Confusion Between Organic and Healthy The consumer move to "organic" is an encouraging step in the right direction, but unfortunately most of the extra money spent on these products is wasted due to consumer’s misunderstanding of basic nutritional concepts. First let me point out the obvious. Organic sugar is not any healthier than non-organic sugar. They are both major enemies to your health. You can apply this to Organic Pasteurized milk, as well as soy/almond/rice milks. I have long been opposed to most people drinking milk as it is frequently associated with a worsening of health, allergies, asthma, digestive disorders, etc., etc. This is particularly sad because milk is one of the healthiest foods available prior to its being pasteurized. Raw dairy is something I now strongly advise nearly everyone to regularly consume raw milk, cream, cheese, yogurt as well as coconut milk and oils. Please see Recipes for Raw Milk/Coconut Shake. Your adrenals/hormones will love this delicious shake and will flourish. Adrenals need B6, C complex, cholesterol, sodium and fat-soluble nutrients A and D. All adrenal cortex products are derived from cholesterol. Until the mid-20th century, the basic source of all this these in the American diet was raw cow’s milk. Adrenal stress and mal-nutrition are the two major factors I find related to infertility. A final note: Don’t waste your money on Organic Pasteurized Milk. Educate yourself.
