When I spoke to a dietician about raw milk, she mentioned the high tuberculosis rate in South Africa, and said that raw milk could increase the incidence.

Is this true or just more mainstream madness?

Well, I can't drink pasteurized milk because of the process, can't drink tap water because of the fluoride, can't eat any food because of the pesticides - even organic food is allowed to be sprayed with sulfuryl fluoride by the EPA, can't eat fish because of the mercury... It seems my only alternative is to do what the North Carolina water quality supervisor, J. D. Monroe, told me on the phone when I told him I objected to being forced to drink fluoride & that is to move away. Is there a free country out there somewhere?
It would be great to buy raw milk, but I CAN'T - the government won't let me. Is there someone, somewhere, that will ship raw milk for human consumption to me?
It seems the agenda of the government is to keep us just sick enough to produce for a few decades & then make sure we die as we reach retirement so we don't collect social security & don't spend any "non-productive" time here...
I used to think this was a great country; now I think it's one of the worst.

I grew up on a dairy farm until I was 13. I drank fresh raw milk drawn from the holding tanks every day of my life, and never got sick from it. I still remember the layer of cream at the top, and you had to shake the bottle to mix it up. Delicious!!

The good news about the rBgh elimination is that there's enough fear among the retailers concerning an informed public. The bad news is that the informed public in general doesn't seem informed enough. BUT, some other good news is that for a fuller raw milk story and to source raw milk legally near you go to the Weston A. Price Foundation website at . Watch for those cow patties.

Hormones in milk is not the only problem. We have been sold a lie by the dairy industry touting "Drink Milk" making millions of Americans think that drinking milk is healthy and their main source of calcium.

If you look at an acid-base chart, you will note that human breast milk is at the alkaline side and cow's milk is at the most acidic.

The cow's milk makes our bodies acidic which causes calcium to be leached from the bones to buffer the blood. Hence, every country with a high level of dairy consumption has the highest levels of osteoporosis.

I personally do not agree with drinking raw cow's milk either. If anyone has any data on raw milk, its acidity and how it affects the acidity of the body, I'd appreciate hearing from you.

i live in illinois and raw milk is illegal to sell here as well..we did have one source but he stopped delivering his products to our local pick-up point. i have nothing close anymore.. i did manage to find rbgh free, grass fed non-homogenized products altho they're "vat pasturized". i guess thats heated for just the amount required and no more. i love dairy and i hope its ok to eat these products as its as close to the real thing i can find here. moo

I will say this article illustrates the fact that the public is coming into a higher state of awareness concerning rBGH and the detrimental effects of adding it to animals. It's interesting to note that every industrialized country in the world, except for the US, has banned BGH!

If you research it, the number one food allergy is dairy products (that is pasteurized). Being lactose intolerant, allergic/intolerant to milk, etc in my opinion is your bodies way of telling you that you are pasteurization intolerant!

This is a positive development, even though it doesn't go as far as we would like.
It's a sign that more people are concerned about health issues with food - which is good.

Our challenge is to spread the word about real health benefits from eating a good diet and I think Dr Mercola's web site is a big help in this regard.

I also agree with Dr Mercola that raw dairy from pastured animals is best for health.
If more of us will "vote" for raw dairy by purchasing it, we can change the world!

I live in Ohio where healthy (real) milk is illegal. Only the highly profitable toxic white liquid that is derived from what began as milk may be legally sold in Ohio.

The Ohio Dairy council and the Ohio Department of Agriculture wrong on virtually every point of contention regarding their asinine stance on the legalization of organic raw milk.

Maybe someday we'll have legal access to real milk in Ohio, but I'm not holding my breath. It's not a provocative enough issue to the community of politics. It is very much all about the money. No real surprise there.

My only choice is to not buy any milk, or dairy products in Ohio. That is what I will continue to do until the situation allows me a choice. Imagine that, we can legally kill our unborn children, but it is illegal to feed them real milk should we choose for them to be born.

I do agree that pasturized milk is not good for you. I think adding hormones to it makes it even worse. Think of it as 1 small step in the right direction for many people who have been brainwashed into believing that the pasturized milk they get in stores is good for them.
