Comment on The Truth About Raw Milk, Part I by Joy Payne

Absolutely wonderful article AND useful, helpful comments from everyone! I’d like to add something that the “Mom” at the beautiful central-Virginia farm where I get my splendid raw milk (and butter and cheese, etc.) shared at a conference. She said that some of her neighbors, basically conventional dairy farmers, have tried to be better stewards of their animals and land, feeding primarily grass and hay and maintaining sanitary conditions. That is surely admirable and a blessing for the animals; but it doesn’t really have an impact on the wholesomeness of the milk, because that farmer’s milk is mixed with the milk from dozens–hundreds?–of other farms, some with dismal conditions, and then of course it goes through the pasteurizing, centrifuging, homogenizing, storage, transport processes. So don’t be distracted if (when) there are dairy council ads highlighting these good practices and farmers. If they are sending their milk along the usual pipelines, it is no better for our health. Now excuse me while I go have a nice big glass of fresh cold creamy Jersey milk and a slice of apple pie made with some homely local apples, fresh raw butter in the crust, and plenty of cinnamon from somewhere in Asia. Important to remember, with gratitude, that we depend on far-flung farmers for adding some precious ‘spice,’ (and caffeine) to our tables! Blessings to everyone!

Thanks so much, Elizabeth! Great information as always. Amino acid therapy is so beneficial, it’s unfortunate more people aren’t familiar with it. Thanks for working to change that!

Thanks for the informative article. Never heard of this, but will definitely suggest this to the hubby. I would love to try it, but I’m migraine sensitive; in fact, I need to be careful with any caffeine because of this. Changing my diet to the Weston A Price/Traditional foods way has cured my migraines, however. Again, thanks for the great info!

Nancy – since I wrote this post, I did learn about Organic Valley’s deceptive ways, and have stopped buying their products because they have refused to support farmers who produce raw milk. I am now buying Woodstock Farms raw cheese. I hope the same problem is not occurring there, but I need to research this because there is no place to buy raw cheese here at all.

Organic Valley “raw” cheeses are not really raw! Call them and ask them the temp they use to make them…it’s about 154. NOT RAW! I call this false advertising.

So, Elizabeth…how did it go?

I have read a lot about this cleanse, but somehow I am a bit apprehensive because if it was THAT good, howcome we don’t hear about such stuff regularly?

You can buy raw milk legally in Texas, you just have to get it directly from the farm. I buy it every week near Dallas.

Great ideas, and they have the benefit of making us more independent.

This also helps protect against dangerous chemicals, which are included in so many factory products and are often not labeled.
