Back in the 1950’s when the Dairy Association paid big bucks to the government to get out the word that children needed milk for strong bones, we have been led down the corporate path of false advertising.  Most people cannot even digest the ultra-pasteurized, steroid laden, antibiotic filled and now bovine injections causing cancer after years of prolonged use.  To say nothing of allergies, sinus problems, digestive problems that occurs when the undigested dairy turns into mucous in the body-gross!!!       Milk, get over it!!!   (and cheese, cottage cheese, cream, half and half, it’s in everything!)

If you haven’t heard this story before,

If you have, it bears repeating.

Of course if you are buying un-pasteurized milk from a local farmer who loves his animals and lets them roam in the fields, doesn’t feed them poisons etc. and you are making your own yogurt with lots of friendly bacteria and so on, you may be one of the few that can actually derive some benefit from the real deal, You will not find this type of milk in any store…..there really isn’t much profit in it.

If it’s calcium you are looking for…….foods and herbs that are rich in that are:  salmon (with bones in), sardines, seafood, dark green leafy vegetables (kale, collards, dandelion greens, mustard greens, bok choy etc.), almond, asparagus, black strap molasses, brewer’s yeast, broccoli, cabbage, carob, dulce, figs, filberts, goat’s milk, kelp, oats, prunes, sesame seeds, tofu, real yogurt, alfalfa, burdock root, cayenne, chamomile, chickweed, chicory, dandelion, eyebright, fennel seed, fenugreek, flaxseed, hops, horsetail, lemongrass, mullein, nettle, oat straw, paprika, parsley, peppermint, plantain, raspberry leaves, red clover, rose hips, yellow dock.

If it’s Vitamin D you are looking for:  exposure (face and arms) to the sun for 15 minutes 3 times a week is an effective way to get all the vitamin D your body needs.  Food sources:  fish liver oils, fatty saltwater fish, eggs, dandelion greens, cod liver oil, butter, liver, oatmeal, salmon, sardines, sweet potatoes, tuna, and vegetable oils.  Herbs:  alfalfa, horsetail, nettle, parsley.

Eat better!!  Love, Sue
