With all due respect, you’re an idiot if you think processed milk is healthier than raw, fresh, organic product. Granted, we are NOT talking about commercial dairy farms, where animals are living knee-deep in their own filth! We’re talking about animals that are living healthy lives, in a clean environment, eating GOOD, and HEALTHY food, not processed garbage!!!
We have been drinking raw milk from our own goats for YEARS, and my pediatrician told me my kids have the best bone density he has ever seen!
My kids don’t get sick when everyone elses do. And if they DO get sick, they recover in a matter of HOURS (12-24) instead of days, or weeks!!! (Immune-booster properties in the milk!!!)
If you are that scared of raw product, you should not drink anything raw! Apple-juice, orange juice, grape-juice, you name it. As a matter of fact, you should stop eating ANYTHING and EVERYTHING fresh! (fruit and veggies alike!) They might just KILL you.!!!
lol, well said! lol
Like your reply,very true,I drank fresh milk when I was a child, my mother milked our cows, never got sick or any parasite, I was very healthy.
I have dairy goats and am super new to this all. We are about to start milking, and I’ve had some family freak me out about the dangers. So I’ve been researching both sides. To hear the stories of young children and some adults getting so sick, and even left handicapp after getting a bacterial infection like e coli from raw milk and such terrifies me. I’m trying to make an informed decision here. My goal with my farm was to produce my own meats, eggs, and dairy for my large family. I recognize many of the sites against raw milk, are fear mongering, and provided very little actual fact or study. But there is no denying that the potential risk of severe food infection is possible. I”m still nervous! I would only drink raw, if I can control the environment, but I am still concerned about illness and if this is a wise choice or not for my family. I’m almost ready to say no milk at all if the option is pasteurized as I don’t think that is healthier. I’m sitting in a confused neutral spot right now. I can see both sides….. bleh
YAY! Now THAT’s a Statement!!! Good for you!!!
Keep on eating HEALTHY.!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
I,am 71 years old , grew up in madison county north carolina started hand milking oure milkcow at a young age, i would bring the milk to the house, mama would strain the milk through a old cloth baby diaper and i would drink a warm glass of milk,wright then, cornbread and milk for supper every day. fed raw milk as a baby also..verry healthy(.max c. robinson)
Thank you for so many personal experiences about the benefits of drinking raw whole milk vs pasteurized. I have had asthma since I was a toddler and I am allergic to almost every kind of pollen out there! So I am trying it out. I hope to be able to give my testimonial in the future too! I really love the milk! I wish I had started years ago! Thanks to all!!
Did the amendment pass to allow aspartame in milk and milk products unlabeled?
Would you mind telling me how to make raw unheated butter? I love real butter. I just found a place recently to get raw cows milk and my wife and I love it. I would love to make unheated cheese too. Thanks for any recipes to making real butter and cheese and butter milk. God Bless.
For butter, you just pour raw cream into a food processor and blend until the cream suddenly breaks and you have a lump of butter swimming in buttermilk. Pour off the buttermilk (you can drink it or cook with it). Put the butter in a bowl and knead it with a rubber spatula to work out any remaining buttermilk, rinsing it several times until the water is clear. Press into a mold or just put it in a tupperware or covered dish.
You can also just shake raw cream in a jar with a tight-fitting lid, but this takes longer and is rather tiring. Maybe fun to do once, taking turns, especially with children, just to see how long it takes.
Maybe someone else can speak up about how to make raw milk cheese, but I imagine there are probably youtube videos about it.
Let the cream get to room temperature first or you’ll be at it all day.
you are completely wrong, you cannot get the calcium from pasteurized milk, and you oversimplify the super food that milk is, there are enzymes and many other vital ingredients destroyed as well; people who know about raw milk and drink it would never drink the dead stuff under any circumstances as it is repulsive as eating garbage; and raw milk is crucial to establishing a healthy immune system and it is especially important to help restore health to vaccine damaged kids which includes anyone who has been injected with those cancerous weapons of mass destruction
VERY well said, sir! Thank you!!
I live in Melbourne, Australia where raw milk can only be sold for milk baths, not
Human consumption. The Westin website gas no contact for Victoria. Any ideas as to
O how I may buy safe, raw milk in Melbourne please!

I am starting on a low Carb diet. Raw milk yogurt is ok if the Carbohyrates are low enugh. Does anyone know how many Carb’s in Ray Milk yogurt in one cup?
I love raw whole milk, and need the benefits it provides.. My father-in-law near!y died of undulent fever in the 1950’s, so. my husband is afraid of it. Is their any news or update on this disease regarding the.safety of drinking raw whole milk?
Sally Fallon Morell replies: I don’t know of any recent (last 30 years) cases of undulant fever from raw milk produced in America.
Sally Fallon Morell we love you for all the hard work,dedication and honesty.I started drinking raw milk all the colon and Gut started healing in just days.
GOD BLESS you and your Family.May you live longer.You are messenger of God.I am sleeping better and peacefully
Thanks
CJ(From India living in USA had gut issues for 2 years now curing my gut with Raw milk)
Nadiminti,
I read your reply and was curious to know what kind of gut issues you had. We are recovering our son with autism and would love more details about your gut condition. So glad you are seeing healing through raw milk. Gut issues can be debilitating.
is it high in calories? will it help with gerd and eosophogitis? Can I get it locally (I’m in the UK)
See this page for potential sources in the UK: https://www.realmilk.com/real-milk-finder/other-countries/#uk
The number of calories in a glass of raw milk will vary by breed of cow and percentage of butterfat. Weston A. Price Foundations members are not overly concerned with calorie count, understanding that nutrient density is the critical measure.
Yes it is, I’m seventy years old, when I was a child, my mother milked our cows, we drank the milk and ate the delicious butter, never forget that. I used to shake the cream in a jar and turned into butter. The milk is so good for us. Seems we have government interference for any food that’s good for people. I would love to drink some fresh milk. We never got sick from the milk.
I have been drinking Raw milk for about 18 – 22 months regularly like 1/2 a QT a day. At times I get a persistent cough and the doctor said it was acid reflux…. I have never had it before and the only change in diet is less meat and Raw Milk…. Does any one have any ideas?
Maybe you need to check if the milk is a1 or a2. A lot of people have trouble with a1 milk proteins
I am writing to inquire about the sources that are referenced both throughout the site as well as on the “A campaign for real milk” powerpoint. The most recent article sited was published in 2009 with the majority are 20+ years old dating back as far as 1928.
Will you be updating your site with more current information in the near future? This is especially important as the dairy industry is always rapidly changing in both technology and accurate information that is available.
As a note on the info included about confinement dairies in your powerpoint, there are some points that should be corrected. The vast majority of cows in 21st century “confinement dairies” are not confined to a stall all day long as you have stated. They roam freely about the facility to eat, sleep, and interact with their peers as they choose 🙂 The pictures provided are unfortunately quite outdated and don’t necessarily represent what a “typical dairy farm” in the US looks like anymore.
The average dairy herd size in the US as of 2018 is up to 234 cows with some in the tens of thousands, so it is also quite inaccurate to compare the costs/profits of a 30 cow confinement dairy to any other type of dairy.
Everyone can feel free to eat, drink, and sell what they wish (within legal limits…), but we all should have the correct, evidence-based facts to in order to form our opinions! Thank you very much.
There are a few more recent studies but they don’t really add anything. Regarding “confinement dairies,” it doesn’t matter if they are walking around inside, the point is that they are not eating grass.
