Raw Milk Suppliers
Posted: Fri Aug 22, 2008 9:15 pmRaw, unpasteurised milk is not legal to be sold for consumption
but can be purchased for cosmetic use.
There are many arguments for and against drinking raw milk, but the most compelling one -apart from it being rich and creamy - that supports it is the proof that many allergy suffers and lactose intolerant people can drink raw milk and eat raw milk cheese and yoghurt will no ill effects. Some allergies have said to be cured once the natural balance of healthy bacteria in the gut has been fixed by including raw milk in the diet - helping the body develop antibodies etc as we have evolved to do over thousands of years.
It is said that the heating of the milk in pasteurisation kills off healthy bacteria like acidophollis and lactobacillus which aid digestion, and a host of nutrients that the body requires. So the dairy corporations now add back vitamins, antioxidants, calcium etc into pasteurised milk using oil as a carrier - yuk - and you can buy the healthy bacteria in tablet form to help you digest all the synthetic nutrients added to pasteurised milk.
It all sounds a bit back to front doesn't it?
For those intersted in purchasing raw milk - for cosmetic purposes - here are some suggestions, and feel free to add any you know of:
HERDSHARE
What is a herd share? Consumers pay a farmer a fee for boarding their cow, (or share of a cow), caring for the cow and milking the cow. The cow share owner then obtains (but does not purchase) the milk from his/her own cow. This arrangement is similar to arrangements of owning a share in a crop, racehorse or a bull. PO Box 2313 Byron Bay, NSW. ph.02 6699 3442
If you live in Brisbane or along the Gold Coast, you may be able to join a Herdshare through ‘Food Connect’.
