Good question, I have wondered about this as well.

You can buy liquid whey in health stores it helps

create the correct environment for gut flora and

maintain intestinal health. There are two possible

reasons why this is unlikely to be as effective that I

can think of. First, the temperature at which it is

produced may be above the critical point of denaturing

(see interview at cfs radio site with inventor of

immunocal). Second, the levels of the active

ingredients are probably below therapeutic levels.

I don't think that there is any guarantee that

unpasteurised milk is safe even if you drink it

straight from the beasts udder! I got a nasty sinus

infection which triggered many new ME/CFS symptoms.

It was a careless thing to do as before I had

virtually no or insignificant post exertional malaise.

I drank it raw thinking it may have beneficial

effects - big mistake. I think that whey is acidic pH

and, therefore, safe.

If anyone on the list drinks whey let us know, it

would be great if we could get this at a low cost from

a cheese maker.
