We switched from store bought overly processed milk to raw milk from a local dairy around November of 2005. That is over 3 years ago. I can count on one hand how many times my entire family has been to the doctor. Most of those times were for a twisted ankle or a sore back or neck. I don't think either of the children have been in all that time. Of course, we try to do other things to stay healthy so I am sure raw milk is not the only thing helping us out. However, if it was really unhealthy 3 years would be plenty of time to show up. I know a lot of people are afraid of this idea because we have been conditioned to think we need everything sterilized. I challenge you to read an article on the benefits of drinking raw milk. See if there is anything about it that could help you or your family.
I will give you one of the reasons here.
Raw milk contains probiotics.
I will give you one of the reasons here.
Raw milk contains probiotics.
“Bacteria have a reputation for causing disease, so the idea of tossing
down a few billion a day for your health might seem — literally and figuratively
— hard to swallow. But a growing body of scientific evidence suggests that you
can treat and even prevent some illnesses with foods and supplements containing
certain kinds of live bacteria. Northern Europeans consume a lot of these
beneficial microorganisms, called probiotics (from pro and biota, meaning “for
life”), because of their tradition of eating foods fermented with bacteria, such
as yogurt. Probiotic-laced beverages are also big business in Japan.”
— Harvard Medical School, “Health Benefits of Taking Probiotics”
Have you heard anyone talking about needing more of the "good bacteria" in your gut? Have you seen all the products to buy with probiotics in them?
