Guest guest Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 I must start with my brother Mark is one of if not the largest producer of raw organic milk and colostrum in the US. organicpastures.com I believe that milk problems come from non organic, pasteurized, homongenized, etc. store-bought milk and not raw organic milk. There are organic colostrum tablets you can get at Whole Foods and other health food stores and a goat colostrum that I think is great. I think the fats, immune support, and myriad of other beneficial elements in raw milk products are essential to healing. If it doesn't work for you, that is fine. It may not be for everyone. Just make sure it is raw AND organic. You can google to find a source near you. http://www.realmilk.com/ Glad you don't have metal in your mouth. All my best to you and hope you find what works for you.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Hey - I agree with you about raw milk - I'm in Canada, where it's a lot harder than even the States to get it. (I take it your brother knows about the ordeal of Ontario farmer, Schmidt, who got raided by armed officials for the criminal act of supplying healthy, unpasteurized milk? Geeeeeze.) I had the opportunity to be on a small farm for a couple of months this summer, biodynamic, and we milked our own cow by hand - a learning experience. The milk (though I still approached it cautiously) was wonderful - it smelled sweet and reminded me of blooming meadows - seriously, and pardon the flowery language. The butter was so good it made conventional butter taste like frozen candle wax, and the cream was practically orgasmic in its richness. I think it's preposterous that these things are attacked - but we all know the real reasons why they do it. If I found raw milk colostrum I might be willing to try it. > >>>> > >>>>> 1) Alkalize myself with more alkaline forming foods > >>>> > >>>> That seems reasonable, although I wonder about what exactly > >>>> people mean when they say " alkalize themselves " , as there > >>>> are various parts of the body that are healthiest when they > >>>> are acidic -- the stomach and small intestines during > >>>> digestion are good examples. > >>>> > >>>>> 2) Do a short water fast > >>>> > >>>> I'd skip that step -- you've probably got too many toxins in > >>>> you already, and you should be taking things to bind to them > >>>> and support your body in dealing with them.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 I would agree. I am beginning to use raw milk whey, that I make myself, to help raise my glutathione levels. I have been drinking raw milk kefir for over a year and it has helped my health tremendously. Even drinking the kefir probably helped raise my gluathione levels, but my health was so poor several years ago that my levels are still deficient. I believe that most traditional cultures soured or fermented (curds and whey, yogurt, kefir, etc.) their raw milk which makes it even more digestable and health promoting. > >>>> > >>>>> 1) Alkalize myself with more alkaline forming foods > >>>> > >>>> That seems reasonable, although I wonder about what exactly > >>>> people mean when they say " alkalize themselves " , as there > >>>> are various parts of the body that are healthiest when they > >>>> are acidic -- the stomach and small intestines during > >>>> digestion are good examples. > >>>> > >>>>> 2) Do a short water fast > >>>> > >>>> I'd skip that step -- you've probably got too many toxins in > >>>> you already, and you should be taking things to bind to them > >>>> and support your body in dealing with them.
