Guest guest Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 Welcome ! Say! Claremore? I was just asking someone about that this morning. Is there a source for raw dairy there? My relatives live in Claremore and would like to get raw milk. Thanks, D. wrote: > Hi y'all! > > Since early 2002, I have been reading on the Weston A.

I have to wonder if it is a good idea to switch to whole milk when you aren't drinking raw, unless it is at least not homogenized. I did that for a short time before I had access to raw milk, and now feel it my have been a mistake. I often wonder what I would do now if I no longer had access to raw. Maybe have to give up milk? > We have Braunvieh cattle, which historically were bred in Switzerland > for 3 purposes: milk, meat, and work.

How frustrating to own the cattle but not really have access to the milk! I am impressed though and think you are (at least) one step ahead of most of us! Good Luck!

Maybe > have to give up milk? I would like to try raw, whole milk for a while and see if it does have any impact on what remains of my allergies (starting cod liver oil last March got me off the antihistamines/decongestants), but it would cost too much in time and money right now to get raw milk regularly. Actually, I did try some raw goat's milk for a few days. I could not tell a difference at that time. But that was before I started the cod liver oil. I know there are lots of voices that say cow's milk is one of the worst foods you can use, whether raw or pasteurized. I believe some people's systems are so damaged that it causes them considerable discomfort. Apparently, my family is not among that unfortunate group. I'm guessing the increased amount of fat in the whole milk is what has made the biggest difference. From what I can tell, increasing the amount of animal fat in our diet has had nothing but good results in the nearly 2 years since we gradually started adding more. We are stronger, generally happier, have more energy and stamina, have fewer health complaints, and my daughter is growing faster than when she was using 2% milk. The switch from 2% milk to whole milk was the first change we made. Then we added more eggs, more butter, more beef, etc. And we cut back on refined carbs (packaged crackers, chips, bread, cereal, pasta, cookies, etc.) and soybean oil and other soy foods. We use mainly fresh or frozen veggies and fruits. We do enjoy some ice cream and homemade pumpkin pie. Since milk and other dairy is something I plan to always use, I'd like to switch to raw products when time and money permit. In the meantime, we'll use full-fat versions of whatever we can get.
