Hi Sal,

Because my son is dealing with not only pathogens but other toxins as

well, the following study was impactful to me:

Oral Antibiotics and a Milk Diet: effect on mercury excretion

A study of rats found that oral antibiotics and milk both decreased

the rate of methyl mercury excretion. Rats typically take 10 days to

excrete half the mercury they are exposed to, but in rats on an all-

milk diet (relevant to nursing infants) the half-life increased from

10 days to 30 days. In rats on oral antibiotics, the half-life

increased from 10 days to over 100 days. In rats on both an all-milk

diet and oral antibiotics, the half-life increased to 300 days.

Humans excrete mercury more slowly than rats, so the effects would be

larger there.

I don't know about raw milk. The study done on the rats was likely

done with pasteurized but it didn't specify. Like anything, if it

works for you, trust your body's response since we are all so

different. But my son has a dairy intolerance so this was just more

reason for me to not want to reintroduce dairy should he ever

tolerate it again. I have, like you, also heard great things about

raw milk and if it were available in my area, I may be curious enough

to give it a try because I do believe it's vastly different than

pasteurized.

My best,
