Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 I recently went to court to defend my choice to give raw goat's milk to my daughter who was at the time 7 months. Several months ago the local Social Rehabilitation Services (Child Protective Services) came to my house to investigate allegations reported by my ex that I was giving my daughter raw milk. After the investigation, SRS sent me a findings report that found me guilty of " ABUSE. " Reason being that I was giving my daughter raw milk even though I was told the dangers of it by the pediatrician. The pediatrician named e-coli, listeria, salmonella, camph., and TB as the deadly illnesses. So there I am in court for custody of my child and the judge tells me that she is giving my ex the power to make all decisions regarding nutritional, medical and health issues. The judge's decisions was based on the report by the SRS, who's findings report result was based on the info my daughter's pediatrician gave SRS. Since that judgement, I've developed a headache everyday and also a burning sensation in my esophagus when i eat warm or spicy food which I've never experienced before. I get nauseated thinking about how wrong this judgement is. It has bothered me so much that my sleep patterns are off. This judgement keeps me from my right to raise my child as healthy as she can possibly be in a society today where illness is the norm. This battle I'm in with the court is really showing me how rampant the fear mongering is and how deep the lie is. It is amazing. So anyway, there is the story of my battle with the fear mongering system which I'm trying to escape. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 When you feel sick and the dr. asks you what you think could've caused this and all you say is, well I drink milk raw, of course he assumes that's the reason. He hasn't been with you the past 2 days before you felt sick and hasn't seen what you did, where you've been and what you ate, so he relies on what you tell him. So, when you have no idea what it came from, say exactly that. If you do have an idea, tell him. If you go tell him that you've been drinking this weird raw milk lately... what will he think? That you've been drinking this weird raw milk, of course. But if you tell him that you've always drunk milk raw and never had this problem before, so it must be something else and he should keep searching for a reason, he will react differently. It's all in how you act towards the milk. Be confident and they will assume all is well with the milk, imply it might be the milk and your farmer will be in trouble... it's all in your hands. So, if you feel sick and you think it was the milk, stop drinking milk and see if the sickness goes away. When it's gone, drink some more milk and see if you feel sick again. But if you don't trust your farmer, you better change towards another! Raw milk is about trusting your source of milk.
