Fox Chicago, IL & Raw dairy as a probiotic

[Guest guest]

Hi, this is Fox from Chicago / Cook County, IL. I recently

bought and consumed some raw milk and cheese and had some unusual

symptoms and want to know what you experts think of them. Here is a

similar email to one I also sent to the native-nutrition mailing list,

so I am sorry if you get this twice.

A short recent history of me:

1. Three months ago I had cleaning and x-rays at a traditional

dentist; no new problems and I hadn't had an appointment in 18 months

before then. After the cleaning I had no plaque I could visually

detect.

2. A week and a half ago I started drinking a half-gallon of raw

(unpasteurized) milk and eating some raw cheese, both from grass fed

cows. This was based on WAPF advice. I finished the milk off last

night and am still working on the cheese.

3. Towards the end of last week I went to a biological dentist to see

about getting some old mercury-filled amalgam fillings replaced, again

at WAPF advice. At this appointment, the dental assistant used a

CariScreen device (which uses light somehow) to measure the amount of

adenosine triphosphate in my mouth and said it was very large. The

measure was 7500 Relative Light Units but I only that the manufacturer

says I am at high risk for caries with this score. The manual for this

device is at

4. This week I have noticed a lot of plaque buildup on my the backs of

my lower front teeth. This has definitely increased a lot in one week.

5. Further, a pimple has shown up on my lower lip.

The plaque growth and pimple coincide with starting to drink raw

dairy. I have read that raw dairy is a probiotic. Could it be

encouraging the growth of harmful bacteria?
