Guest guest Posted July 11, 2007 Report Share Posted July 11, 2007 Hello Everyone, I just received my approval email and am now sending this introductory letter to everyone in the group to complete the membership process. I am sure you all received the recent request from the Right to Choose Healthy Food Organization, requesting us to contact the Federal Farm Bill Committee Members and tell them why we feel we should have the right to legally purchase and consume raw milk. Since I spent quite a while this morning composing that letter which tells a lot of my raw milk story, I thought I would just copy it here for all of you as my introductory letter.I also encourage each of you to please send yur own letters in ASAP. Dear Represantative_______________________________ I grew up in a family, in fact a neighborhood that drank fresh raw milk from cows and goats-every day of our lives and I don’t remember anyone of them ever being ill. Of course we along with most of the country switched to pasteurized milk products in the 50’s-with the milk man delivery. I also remember my grandparents telling us it was healthier to have this new, different milk and OLEO margarine-instead of the butter I loved. Those were more innocent times and my Grandparents TRUSTED the government completely-back then. Well I sure missed the REAL milk and butter and over the next 35 or so years consumed our government approved dairy products…only to learn that at age 42 I had developed Osteoporosis. My Mother and Grandmother were both alive at the time and they had GREAT bones, but I had Osteoporosis. My doctor wanted to put me on prescription medicine but I wanted to find out how/why had this disease happened to me. It was my belief that I should NOT have had Osteoporosis and that this country should NOT be having an epidemic of Osteoporosis. At the turn of the century most medical doctors could go their entire careers and NOT see a case of Osteoporosis…why was/is everyone getting it NOW?????? Is it really so complicated to see what is going on? So what I did was……….I got a GOAT. I love that goat, I milk her every day (twice in fact) and I drink her Fresh, healthy, raw milk….my family drinks the milk. My Osteoporosis took 3 years for my bone density measurements to move back into the normal range. I am now 54 and no longer have Osteoporosis. I reversed the disease with RAW MILK. In recent times we often learn that there are hidden agendas in many of the laws that are made, especially where large corporate interests, industry and finances are involved. It is my belief that there is a lot going on in the FDA that needs to be scrutinized regarding their WAR against raw milk. The FDA has got to be STOPPED from their prejudicial and discriminatory regulations against raw milk. What they are doing is taking away our rights to the number ONE food product than has nourished mankind for thousands of years. The declining health of our nation is nutritionally based and PROVES the FDA is NOT protecting the health of our citizens. Please help us. Most Americans can no longer own a family cow or goat and receive the benefits that I have. There are many of them that want RAW dairy products but cannot find it because of the current laws. How do I know there are many, many people who want raw milk? I know because I have retired from corporate America to run a small farm which boards milking animals for people who cannot keep their own cow or goat. These people are educated and understand the enormous health benefits of clean, raw dairy products. Neither they nor I can understand why we have the right to purchase and smoke cigarettes and drink alcohol which are PROVEN harmful but it is illegal for them to buy raw dairy products. I do not believe that properly handled and stored RAW milk, from healthy animals is dangerous. In fact the evidence proves that it is much less dangerous than pasteurized milk. The scientific facts presented in Drs. s, M.D. and Aajonus Vonderplanitz PhD's (Nutrition) Report In Favor of Natural Milk proves raw milk is safe and health-giving and shows that pasteurized diary causes epidemics. We should have the right to drink raw milk if we want. I implore you to accept a meeting with Right To Choose Healthy Food president Dr. Vonderplanitz and Jeff Slay who represent me regarding an amendment to the Farm Bill, as follows: Amendment to the Farm Bill 1) Unpasteurized/raw milk will be allowed commercially with the same regulations as pasteurized milk, aligned with present California State and Los Angeles County codes; 2) Health departments cannot use surveys to conclude and blame for possible food-poisoning incidents and relay them to the public and media without conclusive scientific support.; 3) Government employees cannot make prejudicial, discriminatory and negative opinions about raw milk to the public and media without justifiable scientific proof. Thank you very much for helping citizens to remain healthy. Respectfully, Carol Rollman Sycamore Spring Farm Frederick MD 21703 : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
