Raw Milk vs Pasteurized

I just finished my article for EzineArticles on the health benefits of raw milk.  I thought I would pass on a few quick facts for those that are interested. 
  • Raw milk is an immune system booster!  It has lots of enzymes and amino acids and it is easy to digest.
  • Lactose intolerant?  No more-- after you drink raw milk it changes to lactase which is easily digested.  You may just be intolerant to pasteurized milk.
  • Vitamins A and D.
  • Loaded with calcium.
  • Long proven history of use--about 8-10,000 years or so.
  • In the early days, even the Mayo Clinic used raw milk from nearby farms to cure many diseases. 
Raw milk is delicious and healthy.  Find a homesteader near you and try it out.  In the meantime, read this article by Dr. Ron Schmid, ND to learn more.  Tomorrow's newsletter is on culturing milk products.  If you haven't signed up for the free weekly newsletters click here The Natural Living Site and sign up today.

Sadly, raw milk is illegal in Maryland and it is difficult to get it, but not impossible. I've never had it, and since I grew up on skim milk and don't actually like milk that much. It is something I will have to try some day.

The laws change and are different for each state. You could go to a farm, and buy the raw milk, for, let's say your "dogs". The farmer could label the milk "for pet use only", and you cart the milk home. What you do with it is your own business. :-)
