Government Gone Wild
It is the next installment of the atrocities of the US Governmental power grabs. . .
Look for it soon at a state or city near where you live. . .

And oh, lets not rule out chem-trails. Aluminum and barium trails are more like it.

Pasturizing milk removes micronutrients that are beneficial to human health. I see it like I do putting floride in toothpaste (floride being rat poison)-the earth can only support half a billion, not 6. We Americans need to be made sick. Bill Gates, Ted Turner, etc have donated billions to see to that.

This is horrible. I don't drink much milk and I don't look for raw, but the idea that the FDA can storm into a dairy business and terrorize the owners at gunpoint is way beyond belief. It's bad enough when they pull this sort of crap on pot growers, but *dairy farmers*? That's completely out of line.

What sort of action can a person take to get this crap stopped?

I buy 5-6 gallons of fresh, raw milk each week and a quart of raw cream for that excellent cup of morning coffee. I have sought out sources for my 4 children, the eldest who is 18 and seldom bought "boiled" milk. I was raised on raw milk, along with my 4 siblings. There has never been one incident of illness. However, we have to meet the milk truck, "clandestinely" each week because of the issue this topic exposes.

If you're a libertarian, why buy into the "germ theory" nonsense the government likes to push?

Libertarian - FYI driving your car carries risk, consuming unlabeled GMO's is risky, tap water with fluoride in it is not healthy, and aspetame in your soda is very unhealthy.

BTW All dairy cattle that sell to commercial dairies (the ones I buy my raw milk from) are tested for undulant fever.

Not very secret really Mike. Anyone with an IQ above room temperature and paying attention can see it as plain as day. The problem is the sheeple who are doing very little. How about food freedom initiatives? County sheriffs arresting the bums? Or 10th amendment nullification?

While as a dedicated libertarian I respect people's right to chose their own foods, to organize food cooperatives, and sell their own produce directly, I think it is important to recognize that there are health risks to raw milk.

The health risk is Undulant Fever. I know about it because my mother had it. She contracted it when they stopped at a small restaurant while traveling back in the 1930s or 40s. The restaurant served milk from their own cow and it turned out the cow was diseased. Pasteurization kills the bacteria or virus which produces the disease. That is why Pasteurization and regular testing of dairy herds was adopted in the first place.

When you get undulant fever it never goes away. There is no cure. Its chief symptom consists of wild swings of body temperature and may lead to other complications. That is why it is called "undulant fever." While attacking the violent assaults by government regulators is important, it is also important that people know the risks of raw, that is, unpasteurized milk.

It is largely a forgotten disease. Pasteurization and the testing of dairy herds has largely eliminated it. When my mother was in the hospital in the few months before she died of unrelated health problems, none of the doctors or nurses had ever heard of the disease and I had to explain it to them.

This was an interesting piece, but a little frustrating to watch. She tried to lead him into elaborating on the cartelization in the dairy industry a couple of times, but he wouldn't take the hint.

I've been drinking raw milk every day for the last 20 years. I never get sick.

I can remember when I was four years old, my Grandpa, Dad and my Uncles fighting over the freshley opened milk bottle that was delivered to the door step, for the cream off the top to put in their coffee. They, except my Grandpa are still alive. My Grandpa died of alcoholism, but that is totally legal.

My point is as I said in the second post in this thread. The gov doesn't give one wit about you. They are protecting their financiers.

Everything people think they know about milk and pasteurization is disinformation. Raw milk is SAFER than pasteurized milk. If you'd like some truth on the subject, Sally Fallon from the Weston A. Price Foundation gave an excellent lecture available on youtube: Click to view link

I drink raw milk every day with zero issues.

Why is the motto amongst farmers "get big or get out"? It is because if you don't get big, you will be run into the ground with regulation and subsidy driven market prices. If you get big, you are a prime canidate for buyout. Crash or cash, take your pick. Either way you will not have control over yours or your offsprings future.

The headline should read 'FDA Attacks Small Farmers Who Produce Raw Milk from Humanely Treated Cows to Ensure Factory Farms Prevail'

If our government is successful in making raw milk illegal, this will be a gigantic step backward for our freedom to choose the food we eat, and it will deepen the entrenchment of these horrific factory farms in our society. Please, contact your representatives and protest this outrage!

This, like all FDA swat style raids isn't about milk, or co-ops, or vitamin supplements.

It's about money, power and control. The FDA is run, almost top to bottom, by ex CEOs and executives from Monsanto, big-pharma and lobbyists within that tyrannical community.

These tyrants were placed in those positions by Obama, Bush, Clinton and other players in the push to globalize the planet.

The FDA is nothing less than the governmental military arm of public companies like Monsanto. They abuse their power and erode public trust with the blessings of Obama, Bush, Clinton and other 'rulers'.

Fight back. Contact your representatives. Tell them if they do nothing, they will be voted out of office. Pressure your local 'news' shows to run stories about this problem.

Ask yourself: Why is the US State Dept. pressuring Spain to accept GMO seeds to grow GMO crops? What is the US government doing pushing another country into using seeds from a specific public company - Monsanto? The answer is: Monsanto owns the FDA and Hillary Clinton will do what ever they tell her to do. Click to view link

Please tell your neighbors about what is going on. Blog about it, write to your reps. Unleash a s**t-storm of information. Abolish the FDA or turn it around 180 degrees.

Fresh raw milk was one of the main foods that kept my family healthy during the post-World War II starvation years.

Thereafter, raw milk also kept me healhy during my enslavement on a dairy farm in America.

Yes in Switzerland raw milk is available almost everywhere.

Processing Is the Problem

The path that transforms healthy milk products into allergens and carcinogens begins with modern feeding methods that substitute high-protein, soy-based feeds for fresh green grass and breeding methods to produce cows with abnormally large pituitary glands so that they produce three times more milk than the old fashioned scrub cow. These cows need antibiotics to keep them well.

Their milk is then pasteurized so that all valuable enzymes are destroyed (lactase for the assimilation of lactose; galactase for the assimilation of galactose; phosphatase for the assimilation of calcium).

Literally dozens of other precious enzymes are destroyed in the pasteurization process. Without them, milk is very difficult to digest. The human pancreas is not always able to produce these enzymes; over-stress of the pancreas can lead to diabetes and other diseases.

The butterfat of commercial milk is homogenized, subjecting it to rancidity. Even worse, butterfat may be removed altogether. Skim milk is sold as a health food, but the truth is that butter-fat is in milk for a reason.

Without it the body cannot absorb and utilize the vitamins and minerals in the water fraction of the milk. Along with valuable trace minerals and short chain fatty acids, butterfat is America's best source of preformed vitamin A.

Synthetic vitamin D, known to be toxic to the liver, is added to replace the natural vitamin D complex in butterfat. Butterfat also contains re-arranged acids which have strong anti-carcinogenic properties.

Non-fat dried milk is added to 1% and 2% milk. Unlike the cholesterol in fresh milk, which plays a variety of health promoting roles, the cholesterol in non-fat dried milk is oxidized and it is this rancid cholesterol that promotes heart disease.

Like all spray dried products, non-fat dried milk has a high nitrite content. Non-fat dried milk and sweetened condensed milk are the principle dairy products in third world countries; use of ultra high temperature pasteurized milk is widespread in Europe.

"First, homogenized milk is not natural and presents serious health risks. The theory behind homogenization sounds simple: break up the fat particles in milk until they are so small that they stay suspended in the milk and don't rise to the top and form the layer of cream that used to be the trademark of all bottles of milk. Unfortunately, there's a side effect to this process. Once you make the fat particles so small that they don't rise, you've also made them so small that they easily get absorbed into the body and clog your arteries."

"Avoid homogenized milk at all costs. Also, there are a number of grain and rice-based milk alternatives, some of which are spectacular. Note: milk is often pitched as a great source of calcium. It is not. Yes, it has a high calcium content, but the body is able to utilize very little of it; and, in fact, because of the way the body deals with milk, consumption of milk actually leaches calcium from the bones."

There are lots of other real nasty diseases killed by pasteurization too. So the raw stuff, I'll avoid. But storm troopers? Give us a break!
