What are the underlying characteristics of these healthy diets?

Great Variety in Traditional Diets

1. No refined or denatured foodsRefined and Denatured

Food Components1930's

Refined SugarWhite Flour

Vegetable OilsCanned Foods

Condensed Milk

Refined and Denatured Food Components

Today

Refined SugarHigh Fructose Corn Syrup

White FlourPasteurized Milk

Skim and Low Fat MilkHydrogenated Fats

Refined Vegetable OilsIsolated Protein Powders

Additives

Factory foods are not Mother Nature’s foods!

“Life in its fullness is Mother Nature obeyed.” Weston A. Price, DDS

FISH AND SHELLFISH: including organs, oil, bones, heads, etc. Weston Price found the best bone structure among those eating seafood

BIRDS: Chicken, ducks, geese, etc., including the organs, fat and skin.

RED MEAT: Beef, goat, sheep, game, etc., with ORGAN MEATS and FAT preferred.

MILK AND MILK PRODUCTS EGGS REPTILES INSECTS

2. Every diet contained animal products

These nutrients are found only in animal products

Vitamin A Vitamin DCholesterol Vitamin B12

Very Long Chain, Superunsaturated fatty acids (AA, EPA and DHA)

These nutrients are more easily absorbed from animal products

Calcium B6 MagnesiumIron Zinc Copper

Animal Food Nutrients

Vitamin B12ONLY IN ANIMAL PRODUCTS: Usable vitamin B12 is found only in animal products. Analogs in soy foods or blue- green algae actually increase body’s need for B12.

EARLY SIGNS OF DEFICIENCY: Fatigue, tingling in the hands and feet, sleep disorders and a tendency to irrational anger.

PSYCHIATRIC DISORDERS: Deficiencies most commonly manifest as psychiatric disorders including depression, dementia, obsessive-compulsive behavior and manic-depression. Many cases diagnosed as Alzheimer’s are B12 deficiency.

DISEASES: Other results of deficiency include multiple sclerosis, anemia, cancer and heart disease.

Vitamin B12 AbsorptionABSORPTION DIFFICULT: Absorbed through a complex process involving an “intrinsic factor,” secreted in the stomach.

VEGETARIANS AND THE ELDERLY: Deficiencies are most likely to appear in VEGETARIANS, who do not consume animal products, and in the ELDERLY and those deficient in hydrochloric acid or pancreatic enzymes, who cannot produce or use the intrinsic factor.

PASTEURIZATION: B-12 is almost completely destroyed by pasteurization.

African Vegetarian

Cow Products

Products that come from cowsEven strict vegans cannot escape dependence on animal products.

3. Dr. Price’s Key Finding

Primitive Diets contain 4 times the

calcium and other minerals, and

10 times the fat-soluble vitamins as

the modern American diet.

Insects Fish Eggs Fish liversFish Liver Oil Fish and Shell Fish

Sea MammalsLiver* Organ Meats*

Eggs* Butter and Cream*Fat of birds* (ducks, geese, chickens)

Fat of monogastrics (pig*, bear, Guinea pig)* From pasture-fed animals

Sources of Vitamins A and D

A question arises as to the efficiency of the human body in removing all of the minerals from the ingested foods. Extensive laboratory determinations have shown that most people cannot absorb more than half of the calcium and phosphorus from the foods eaten. The amounts utilized depend directly on the presence of other substances, particularly fat-soluble vitamins.

It is at this point probably that the greatest breakdown in our modern diet takes place, namely, in the ingestion and utilization of adequate amount of the special activating substances, including the vitamins [A and D] needed for rendering the minerals in the food available to the human system.

It is possible to starve for minerals that are abundant in the foods eaten because they cannot be utilized without an adequate quantity of the fat-soluble activators.

Weston Price, DDSNutrition and Physical Degeneration

The Fat-Soluble Activators A and D

Bricks and Mortar

The body is likea house or temple,built of bricks and mortar

Bricks = Minerals

Mortar = Fat-Soluble Activators A and D

Conversion of Beta-Carotene to Vitamin A

Needed to Convert Carotene to Vitamin AFats in the diet Thyroid HormoneEnzymes (as yet unknown) Vitamin E

Conversion & storage is difficult or impossible forBabies and children DiabeticsIndividuals with poor thyroid functionIndividuals with poor liver functionIndividuals with poor intestinal absorptionIndividuals with high intake of sodium nitrites and nitratesIndividuals exposed to pesticides and other toxinsIndividuals who consume lots of carotene

Even under optimal conditions, plant sources of carotene cannot supply sufficient vitamin A for optimum health.

Exposure to Toxins

Vitamin A Stores are Depleted by

Dioxins and Vitamin ADIOXINS DEPLETE vitamin A stores in the liver. Vitamin A protects against dioxins - almost 80 scientific papers on the interaction of dioxins and vitamin A - take your cod liver oil!

FISH EATERS in Japan do not have high levels of dioxin in the blood, meaning that there are protective factors in the diet.

CHLOROPHYLL prevents absorption of dioxin from the intestinal tract - eat your greens!

Vitamin D MythMYTH - To get adequate vitamin D, just expose your face and hands to sunlight for 10 minutes every day.

TRUTH - The body makes one form of vitamin D out of cholesterol by the action of UV- B sunlight on the skin. However, except in the Tropics, UV-B is available only at MID- DAY during the SUMMER months.

Vitamin DFOOD SOURCES - All healthy primitive groups, including those living in the tropics, had rich dietary sources of vitamin D, such as marine oils, shell fish, insects, lard or butterfat.

NEEDED FOR - Healthy bones, proper growth, mineral metabolism, muscle tone, insulin production, reproduction, immune system function; vitamin D regulation of calcium metabolism essential for healthy nervous system and cell function.

RECEPTORS - Vitamin D receptors found in almost every cell of the body.

SYNTHETIC (VEGETARIAN) VITAMIN D2 = ToxicCauses softening of the hard tissues (bones) and hardening of the soft tissues (organs, arteries). Added to soy, rice, almond and oat milks.

Vitamin A and D Toxicity?LOW VITAMIN D: When vitamin D is low, vitamin A can be toxic, even at low doses; when A is low, vitamin D can be toxic.

ADEQUATE VITAMIN D: With adequate vitamin D - about 1000 IU per day - vitamin A is not toxic even at very high doses.

VITAMIN A FORTIFICATION: Fortification of lowfat milk, cereals, etc. with vitamin A in northern countries, such as Sweden, where vitamin D intakes are inadequate, has led to osteoporosis.

BEST RATIO: The ratio of A to D in cod liver oil should be at 10 to 1 or less. Many brands of cod liver oil contain almost no vitamin D, which is removed during processing.

HIGH VITAMIN COD LIVER OIL: Available through our recommended suppliers, has good A/D ratios, and supplies a good level of vitamin A in small amounts of cod liver oil.

Also: Organ meats such as liver, and contained in sausage, scrapple, liverwurst, etc.

Lard

They’re HappyVitamin D in lard helps the body make neuro- chemicals that protect against depression.

Price Factor or Activator XCATALYST: Discovered by Weston Price, a potent catalyst for vitamin and mineral absorption.GROWTH: Important factor in the growth of children; has potent curative powers.SACRED FOODS: Found in foods considered sacred by primitive populations--liver and other organ meats from grazing cattle; marine oils, fish eggs and shellfish; and butter from cows eating rapidly growing green grass.BASIS: Green growing plants which have an unknown factor that animals transform and store in certain fatty tissues.PRIMITIVE DIETS: All healthy primitive groups had a source of the Price Factor in their diets.RESEARCH NEEDED: More research is needed to determine sources and chemical composition.

Activator X = Vitamin K2GROWTH: Plays important role, especially in facial development. (Sign of deficiency: Underdevelopment of middle third of the face.)

BONES AND TEETH: Needed for deposition of phosphorus and calcium in bones and teeth

HEART DISEASE: Prevents calcification and inflammation of the arteries

BRAIN: Involved in synthesis of myelin sheath; supports learning capacity

REPRODUCTION: Vital for normal reproduction

The Synergy of Vitamins A, D and K

Vitamin K activates proteins after signaling by Vitamins A and D

Vitamins A and D tell cells to make certain proteins

High-Vitamin Cod Liver Oil and High-Vitamin Butter Oil

Dr. Weston Price found that high-vitamin cod

liver oil given with high- vitamin butter oil was a

very powerful combination for mineral

absorption. He used this combination to treat

tooth decay, bone and growth problems,

arthritis and many other disease conditions.

How Much Cod Liver Oil?MAINTENANCE DOSE for adults provides 10,000 IU vitamin A per day, from 2 tsp regular cod liver oil or 1 tsp high-vitamin CLO. PREGNANCY AND LACTATION: 20,000 IU vitamin A per day.ILLNESS AND SURGERY: Those recovering can take higher amounts - even up to 90,000 IU per day for a short period of time.BABIES AND CHILDREN should receive 5,000 IU vitamin A per day from cod liver oil.BOOKS ON INFANT FEEDING: Before 1950, recommended 2 teaspoons cod liver oil for babies 3 months and older.SYNERGY: Cod liver oil works synergistically with saturated fat. The best combination is cod liver oil in a diet containing butter from grass-fed cows.HIGH-VITAMIN BUTTER OIL: Recommended in addition to CLO for pregnant, nursing women and those with health problems.

5 Cups Whole Milk = 805 calories7-8 Ounces Cheese = 900 calories40 Carrots = 1680 calories

9 Cups Ice Cream = 2517 calories32 Chocolate Cupcakes = 4117 calories 4.5 Cups Almonds = 4077 calories 78 Slices Whole Wheat Bread = 4305 calories

4. All cultures cooked some or most of their food… but they always ate some of their animal foods raw.

Examples of Raw Animal Foods

Raw milk, butter and cream

Raw cheeses

Raw and Marinated fish

Traditional ethnic raw meat dishes (steak tartare, carpaccio, kibbeh, etc.)

Problems with Soy FoodsPHYTIC ACID: Blocks absorption of calcium, magnesium, iron, copper and especially zinc.

PROTEASE INHIBITORS: Block protein digestion, cause swelling of pancreas.

ISOFLAVONES: Block thyroid function and cause endocrine disruption. Lower cholesterol

LECTINS: Irritating to the gastrointestinal tract.

MANGANESE: High levels can cause brain damage in infants

OXALATES: High levels can cause kidney stones.

Definition of Terms

SOY PROTEIN ISOLATE (SPI) - a protein- rich powder extracted by an industrial process from the waste product of soy oil manufacturing.

ISOFLAVONES - estrogen-like compounds occurring naturally in soy foods. They act as the plant’s natural pesticides, causing insects to become sterile. Diadzen and Genistein are common isoflavones found in soy foods.

Soy Protein IsolatePROCESSING: Produced using many chemicals and at high temperatures and pressures, lysine destroyed

ANTINTURIENTS: Processing reduces but does not eliminate antinutrients

DEFICIENCIES: In rats, increased requirements for vitamins E, K, D and B12, created deficiency symptoms of calcium, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, copper, iron and zinc

GRAS: Does not have Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) status

INFANT FORMULA: Basic ingredient in soy infant formula and many imitation foods

HEALTH CLAIM: FDA allows a health claim for foods containing 6.25 grams SPI per serving

Toxins Added or Formed During Production of Soy Protein IsolateNITRATES - carcinogens

LYSINONALANINE - a toxin

ALUMINUM - 10 times higher in soy-based formula than milk-based formula

FLUORIDE COMPOUNDS - very high in soy formula

MSG – Free Glutamic Acid, a neurotoxin

Soy Foods are Imitation Foods!

Soy Foods in Asian Diets

JAPAN: Average soy consumption is about 30 g per day (2 tablespoons). 65% of calories in the Japanese diet come from fish.

CHINA: Average soy consumption is about 10 g per day (2 teaspoons). 65% of calories in the Chinese diet come from pork (meat and fat).

Reproductive problems, infertility, thyroid disease and liver disease due to dietary intake of isoflavones have been observed for several species of animals including:

mice rats

cheetah sturgeon

quail sheep

pigs marmoset monkeys

Studies on Soy Infant Feeding1981 Lebenthal: Soy formula increases indications of pancreatic stress in infants.1983 Poley and Klein: Soy feeding caused damage to small bowel mucosa in 2 infants.1986 Freni-Titulaer: Soy formula associated with premature development in girls (development before the age of 8).1986 Fort: Soy-fed infants twice as likely to develop diabetes. In 1990, soy feeding associated with autoimmune thyroid disease.1998 Setchell: Serum estrogens 13,000-22,000 times higher in soy-fed infants.2001 Newbold: Genistein in soy found more carcinogenic than DES, especially during growth.2001 Strom: Soy-fed infants had more reproductive problems and asthma as adults. (Reported as vindication of soy formula!).

Other Soy Studies1996 Petrakis: Dietary estrogens stimulate human breast cells to enter the cell cycle1999 Nilausen and Meinertz: Soy protein raised Lp(a), indicating that it is atherogenic1999 White: Consumption of tofu associated with brain aging2000 Nagata: Lower testosterone, higher estrogen in men eating more soy foods2002 Chiang: The isoflavone genistein in soy found to inhibit potassium in Guinea pigs, leading to heart arrhythmias.

Many recent studies (2000-2003) document hormone disruption in pregnant and infant rats and mice exposed to soy isoflavones at levels typically found in diets of those consuming modern soy foods.

Soy and Hot Flashes

Six studies carried out between 2000 and 2003 found that consumption of soy had NO effect on hot flashes and other symptoms of menopause.

Traditional Diets

Part II

7. Total fat content of traditional diets varies from 30% to 80% of calories, but only about 4%

of calories come from polyunsaturated fatty acids.

Longer-Chain Fatty Acids

18-Carbon Fatty Acids

Arteries: The Good and the Pathological

Good artery - smooth, elastic and pink.

Saturated and mono- unsaturated fats do not react or harm arteries.

Damaged arteries - crusty and yellowish.

Damage caused by free radicals from rancid, processed vegetable oils!

Shorter-Chain Fatty Acids

Roles of Short and Medium- Chain Fatty Acids

METABOLISM – Raise body temperature and give quick energy

WEIGHT LOSS – Never stored as fat; used for energy

IMMUNE SYSTEM – Stimulate the immune system

INTERCELLULAR COMMUNICATION – Help prevent cancer

ANTI-MICROBIAL – Kill pathogens including candida in the gut

Triglyceride

Who’s Afraid of Saturated Fat?

Don’t worry, Lisa. None of this is true!

Clogs arteries!

Causes Cancer!

Inflammation!

Makes you fat!

Bad for the liver!

Heart attack!

The Many Roles of Saturated FatCELL MEMBRANES – should be 50% saturated fatty acids.

BONES – Saturated fats help the body put calcium in the bones.

HEART DISEASE – Lower Lp(a), a marker for heart disease.

HEART FUNCTION – Saturated fats are preferred food for the heart.

LIVER – Saturated fats protect the liver from alcohol & other poisons.

LUNGS – Can’t function without saturated fats.

KIDNEYS – Can’t function without saturated fats.

IMMUNE SYSTEM – Enhanced by saturated fats.

ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS – Work together with saturated fats.

Cell Membranes

Most of the fatty acids in the cell membrane need to be straight, saturated fatty acids, so they pack together “like logs” and give stability to the membrane. Small numbers of polyunsaturated fatty acids (always bent) are located close to the transport proteins to make transport channels through the lipid membranes.

Cave Painting

"In Framingham, Massachusetts, the more saturated fat one ate, the more cholesterol one ate, the more calories one ate, the lower people's serum cholesterol… we found that the people who ate the most cholesterol, ate the most saturated fat, ate the most calories weighed the least and were the most physically active."

Animal Fats Linked to Increased Breast Cancer Risk, Study FindsNewspaper report on Study published in Journal of the National Cancer Institute: “Eating high-fat red meats and dairy products such as cream may increase the risk of breast cancer in pre- menopausal women… I would not recommend that [Atkins] diet for pre-menopausal women unless they replace red meat with poultry and fish... Breast cancer risk increases 58% by eating animal fat.”

Diet of 14% animal fat, chance of getting breast cancer 0.68%

Diet of 18-21% calories as animal fat, chance of getting breast cancer 0.88%

Diet of more than 21% animal fat, chance of getting breast cancer 0.73%

MANY FLAWS IN THE STUDY

Twice as many smokers in group with highest animal fat compared to lowest

Fat percentages determined by dietary recall, surveyed only two times during the study

Highest quintile had the greatest range (21-46%)

Differences actually very small; could have been due to other variables.

The highest level of animal fat had lower risk

Trivial differences reported with great hoopla in media

Many studies showing animal fats have no effect on breast cancer rates not reported

Patients who had already had a heart attack were divided into 3 groups:

Polyunsaturated Corn OilMonounsaturated Olive OilSaturated Animal Fats

1. Corn Oil Group had 30% lower cholesterol but only 52% alive after 2 years

2. Olive Oil Group had 57% alive after 2 years

3. Animal Fat Group had 75% alive after 2 years

Cellular metabolism

Salt is needed for

Traditional Salt Production

Traditional salt production involved the simple evaporation of sea water. The salt was rich in magnesium and trace minerals.

Modern salt has all the magnesium and trace minerals removed and contains aluminum-based additives.

Sea Salt

Salt should be gray, beige or pink (not white), indicating the presence of minerals.

10. All traditional cultures made use of bones,

usually as bone broth1. Supplies calcium and other minerals in a

form easy to assimilate

2. Supplies nutrients that help build healthy cartilage

3. Supplies amino acids that help the body detoxify

4. Supplies gelatin to help digestion

RAW FOODS are HYDROPHILIC - they attract liquids, including digestive juices

COOKED FOODS are HYDROPHOBIC - they repel liquids, including digestive juices

GELATIN is HYDROPHILIC - it attracts liquids, including digestive juices

Gelatin-rich broth added to a meal containing cooked foods promotes full digestion and complete assimilation.

ELIMINATE all commercial vegetables oils from the diet.

USE FLAX OIL, a source of omega-3 fatty acids, in SMALL amounts in salad dressing (about ½ teaspoon per day).

CHOOSE ORGANIC AND PASTURE FED animal and plant foods for a good source of omega-3 fatty acids.

Canola OilA New Fangled Oil

A new oil created by genetic manipulation from the rape seed.

Fatty Acid Profile: 7% Saturated, 65% monounsaturated, 19% omega-6 and 9% omega-3, seemingly “heart healthy.”

But animal studies indicate canola oil greatly increases the body’s need for vitamin E, causes heart lesions in test animals, increases platelet clumping and causes deaths in stroke-prone rats.

EGG YOLKS A POTENT SOURCE: In 1929, researchers tested a variety of foods for vitamin D content and found the second most potent source of vitamin D was egg yolk. (Number one was cod liver oil.)

Egg Yolks and Vitamin D

BRIGHT SUNLIGHT REQUIRED: The amount of vitamin D in egg yolks varies. Researchers in Kansas compared vitamin Din egg yolks under various conditions. Only those exposed to bright sunlight (containing UV-B light) or those exposed to a lamp producing UV-B light resulted in eggs with sufficient levels of vitamin D. Egg yolks from chickens under glass or in cages produced rickets in rats.

Raw Milk is Uniquely SafeConsider the calf, bornin the muck, which then suckles on its mother’s manure-covered teat. How can that calf survive?

Because raw milk contains multiple, redundant systems of bioactive components that can reduce or eliminate populations of pathogenic bacteria.

Built-In Protective Systems in Raw Milk Lactoperoxidase

Uses small amounts of H2 O2 and free radicals to seek out and destroy bad bacteria

In all mammalian secretions—breast milk, tears, etc.

Lactoperoxidase levels 10 times higher in goat milk than in breast milk

Other countries are looking into using lactoperoxidase instead of pasteurization to ensure safety of commercial milk

British Journal of Nutrition (2000), 84, Suppl. 1. S19-S25.Indian Journal Exp Biology Vol. 36, August 1998, pp 808-810.1991 J Dairy Sci 74:783-787Life Sciences, Vol 66, No 23, pp 2433-2439, 2000

Built-In Protective Systems in Raw Milk Other Bio-Active Components I

Lactoferrin - Steals iron away from pathogens and carries it through the gut wall into the blood stream; stimulates the immune system.

Polysaccharides - Encourage the growth of good bacteria in the gut; protect the gut wall

Medium-Chain Fatty Acids - Disrupt cell walls of bad bacteria; levels so high in goat milk that the test for the presence of antibiotics had to be changed.

Enzymes - Disrupts bacterial cell walls.

Antibodies - Bind to foreign microbes and prevent them from migrating outside the gut; initiate immune response.

(British Journal of Nutrition (2000) 84. Suppl. 1, S3-S10, S11-S17)

Built-In Protective Systems in Raw Milk Other Bioactive Components II

White Blood Cells – Produce antibodies against specific bacteria

B-lymphocytes – Kill foreign bacteria; call in other parts of the immune system

Macrophages – Engulf foreign proteins and bacteria

Neutrophils – Kill infected cells; mobilize other parts of the immune system

T-lymphocytes – Multiply if bad bacteria are present; produce immune-strengthening compounds.

Built-In Protective Systems in Raw Milk Other Bioactive Components III

Lysosyme – Kills bacteria by digesting their cell walls.

Hormones & Growth Factors – Stimulate maturation of gut cells; prevents “leaky” gut.

Mucins – Adhere to bacteria and viruses, preventing those organisms from attaching to the mucosa and causing disease.

Oligosaccharides – Protect other components from being destroyed by stomach acids and enzymes; bind to bacteria and prevent them from attaching to the gut lining; other functions just being discovered.

Built-In Protective Systems in Raw Milk Other Bioactive Components IV

B12 Binding Protein – Reduces vitamin B-12 in the colon, which harmful bacteria need for growth

Bifidus Factor – Promotes growth of Lactobacillum bifidis, a helpful bacteria in baby’s gut, which helps crowd out dangerous germs

Fibronectin – Increases antimicrobial activity of macrophages and helps to repair damaged tissues.

Pasteurized Milk More Hazardous Than Raw MilkRAW MILK: Incidence of food-borne illness from raw milk – 1.9 cases per 100,000 people, 1973-1992.

(American Journal Public Health Aug 1998, Vol 88., No 8)

FOODS PLUS PASTEURIZED MILK: Based on CDC website, incidence of food-borne illness from all foods including pasteurized milk – 4.7 cases per 100,000 people, 1993-1997. (US Census Bureau 1997 population estimate 267,783,607)

OTHER FOODS : Based on CDC website of reported food-borne illness from other foods – 6.4 cases per 100,000 people, per year from 1993-1997.

THEREFORE, the incidence of food-borne illness from consuming raw milk is 2.5 times lower than the incidence of food- borne illness from consuming pasteurized milk; and 3.5 times lower than the incidence of food-borne illness from consuming other foods.

Memphis, Tennessee

The Money that Pays for Our Food is a Source of Pathogens

E. Coli has been shown to survive on coins for 7-11 days at room temperature.

Salmonella enteritidis can survive 1-9 days on pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters.

Salmonella enteritidis can also survive on glass and teflon for up to 17 days.

Jiang and Doyle. Journal of Food Protection 1999;62(7):805-7

Soy Products Contain Pathogens1998 survey looked at 4 brands of soymilk; five types of microorganisms found in stored soymilk samples. During storage at 5 degrees C, microbial counts increased sharply after 2-3 weeks.

Journal of Food Protection, Vol 61, No 9, 1998, pp 1161-1164

1978 survey found Salmonella in many “health food” products, including soy flour, soy protein powder and soy milk powder. “The occurrence of this pathogen in three types of soybean products should warrant further investigation of soybean derivatives as potentially significant sources of Salmonella.

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, Mar 1979, pp 559-566

Breast Milk Contains PathogensMISCONCEPTION: Until recently, the medical profession claimed that breast milk was sterile.

PATHOGENS: We now know that breast milk contains pathogens, often at very high levels.

IMMUNITY FOR LIFE: The bioactive components in milk program the baby to have immunity for life to any pathogens he comes in contact with.

PASTEURIZE BREAST MILK? Should mothers be required to pasteurize their own milk before giving it to their babies?

DISCRIMINATION: Yet laws prevent mothers from obtaining raw milk to feed their babies should their own supply be inadequate.

Bias in Reporting Safety of Raw Milk # I

OUTBREAK of campylobacter infection in Atlanta, Georgia

EXTENSIVE TESTING failed to find campylobacter or any other pathogens in any milk products from the dairy. All safety measures had been followed faithfully.

AUTHORS’ CONCLUSION: “The only means available to ensure the public’s health would be proper pasteurization before consumption.”

American Journal of Epidemiology, 1983 Vol 114, No 4

Bias in Reporting Safety of Raw Milk # II

MEXICAN CHEESE: Several incidences of food-borne illness from Mexican-style soft cheeses.

BLAMED ON LACK OF PASTEURIZATION: Officials claim that illness caused by lack of pasteurization.

ACTUALLY DUE TO FAULTY PASTEURIZATION: These cheeses were actually heated but not quite thoroughly pasteurized, so that the protective mechanisms were destroyed, but not all the pathogens. Officials refer to these cheeses as “raw.”

CASES of TB: Several cases of TB among Mexicans consuming typical Mexican foods including soft cheeses have been blamed on the cheese without regard to other lifestyle factors. It is not even clear that TB can be contracted from milk products.

Bias in Reporting Safety of Raw Milk # III

OUTBREAK: November 2001 outbreak of campylobacter in Wisconsin blamed on raw milk from a cow-share program in Sawyer County. The farm has an outstanding safety record.

OFFICIAL REPORT: 70-75 persons ill. (CDC Website)

INDEPENDENT REPORT: Over 800 ill during 12 weeks after

HAMBURGER LIKELY CAUSE: Only 24 of 385 cow share owners became ill. Most had consumed hamburger at a local restaurant. No illness in remaining 361 cow-share owners.

BIAS: Local hospitals tested only those who said they had consumed raw milk; others sent home without investigation.

LAB TESTS CLEAN: Independent lab tests found no campylobacter in the milk.

Bias in Reporting Safety of Raw Milk # IV

CDC REPORT: In 2002, an outbreak of Salmonella Typhimurium was caused by the consumption of raw milk purchased at a dairy producing certified milk in Ohio.”

SOURCE NOT DETERMINED: According to the CDC: “The source for contamination was not determined; however, the findings suggest that contamination of milk might have occurred during the milking, bottling or capping process.”

MANY POSSIBLE SOURCES: There were many possible of vectors of illness on the dairy besides raw milk.

NO MORE RAW MILK SALES: The dairy, which had been in business for decades without incident, caved in to health department pressure.

Raw Milk Production Today

Compared to 30-50 years ago, dairy farmers today can take advantages of many advancements that contribute to a safe product:

Managed rotational grazing ensures healthy cows

Herd testing for disease

Refrigerated bulk tanks

Refrigerated transportation

Easier milk testing techniques

Solution to the “Milk Problem”During the 1800s, there was a 50% death rate

among urban children drinking “Swill Milk,” that is, milk produced in inner city confinement dairies, from cows fed brewery swill and raised in unimaginable filth.

The “Milk Problem” was solved byOutlawing inner city swill dairies,The Certified Milk Movement,

which ensured clean raw milk, andIncreased consumer access to refrigeration,

NOT by Milk Pasteurization Laws.

Pasteurized Milk = Increasing Health Problems in Children

Allergies

Asthma

Frequent Ear Infections

Gastro-Intestinal Problems

Diabetes

Auto-Immune Disease

Attention Deficit Disorder

Summary of Raw Milk SafetySAFEST FOOD: Raw Milk is safer than any other food.

BUILT-IN SAFETY MECHANISMS: Raw milk is the ONLY food that has built in safety mechanisms.

40-YEAR-OLD SCIENCE: Claims that raw milk is unsafe are based on 40-year-old science.

COURT OF LAW: Claims that raw milk is unsafe would not hold up in a court of law.

Heat Resistant Pathogens in Pasteurized Milk

JOHNE’S BACTERIA (paratuberculosis bacteria) suspected of causing Crohn’s disease, now routinely found in pasteurized milk.

B. CEREUS SPORES survive pasteurization.

BOTULISM SPORES survive pasteurization.

PROTOZOAN PARASITES survive pasteurization.

Elliott Ryser. Public Health Concerns. In: Marth E, Stelle J, eds. Applied Dairy Microbiology, New York, Marcel Dekker, 2001.

Proteins in MilkMILK PROTEINS: Three dimensional, like tinker toys

CARRIERS: Carry vitamins and minerals through the gut into the blood stream; enhance the immune system; protect against disease

IMMUNE DEFENSE: Pasteurization and ultra-pasteurization flatten the three-dimensional proteins; the body thinks they are foreign proteins and mounts an immune defense.

DISEASES: Immune attacks lead to juvenile diabetes, asthma, allergies and other disorders later in life

ALLERGIES: More and more people unable to tolerate pasteurized milk; one of the top eight allergies; some have violent reactions to it.

The Milk CureANCIENT: Since ancient times, an exclusive raw milk diet has been used to cure many diseases.

MAYO CLINIC: In the early 1900s, the “Milk Cure” was used at the Mayo Clinic to successfully treat cancer, weight loss, kidney disease, allergies, skin problems, urinary tract problems, prostate problems, chronic fatigue and many other chronic conditions.

ONLY WITH RAW MILK: The Milk Cure only works with raw milk; pasteurized milk does not have these curative powers.

Adulterated Food DefinitionA food shall be deemed to be adulterated:

(a) if:

(1) It bears or contains any poisonous or deleterious substance which may render it injurious to health; but in case the substance is not an added substance, the food shall not be considered adulterated under this subdivision if the quantity of the substance in the food does not ordinarily render it injurious to health.

According to this FDA definition, pasteurized milk is an adulterated food.

Conventional Dairy Farm Economics30 Cows Producing190 hundredweight of milk per year

Farmers receives about $10 per hundredweight – lowest price in 25 years

Gross income $57,000 per year

Costs include feed (to get high milk yield), vet bills and replacement cows (average life of cow is 42 months)

In 2002, dairy farms went out of business at a rate of 16 farms per day

Economics of Pasture-Based Mixed Farm with Direct Sales

30 Cows on 100 AcresCows produce 100 hundredweight of milk each per year

Farmer sells milk at $4 per gallon and equivalent price for cream, butter and cheese

Gross income from milk and milk products = $150,000

Minimal input for feed, vet bills; no replacement cow costs

PLUS - whey and skim milk used to feed pigs and chickens. Income for eggs, broilers, turkeys, pork, beef, veal and broth = $50,000 with minimal input for feed, etc.

TOTAL INCOME $200,000 with much lower costs

Economics of Pasture-Based Mixed Farm with Direct Sales

If 10% of the population would buy raw milk and other products directly from the farm, we would need 75,000 farms, all making at least $200,000 per year – potential for huge rural revival.

The Wasteland

Compulsory pasteurization laws are largely responsible for the decline of American small towns and rural life.

Pasteurization laws transform what should be a local value- added product into a commodity product.

The Adrenal GlandAdrenal Medulla – produces adrenaline for “fight or flight.”

Adrenal Cortex – produces “chill out” corticoid hormones that relax and heal the body.

Sugar and caffeine stimulate the adrenal gland to produce adrenaline. The adrenal cortex then produces hormones to bring the body back into homeostasis. With continual stimulation from sugar and caffeine, the adrenal cortex soon becomes exhausted and we can no longer deal with stress.

The Body and Brain Cannot Function on Caffeine and Junk Food

Instead of junk food based on sugar, white flour and trans fats, eat real food such as eggs, meat, cheese, pate, liverwurst, meat, nuts, etc.

Instead of caffeine beverages, drink whole raw milk, broth-based soups, kombucha and other lacto-fermented beverages.
