The Milk Book: The Milk of Human Kindness Is Not Pasteurized

Summary: Questions to ask yourself as you read this book
Review: This book follows in line with most conspiracy theories...take some facts, possibly coincidental, string them together and they are hard to disprove. Ask yourself, why does the author use "may" alot? It seems like that qualifier is in there too too much. Milk may cause cancer? Milk may cure cancer? Ask yourself, why to doctors write books? Maybe they can't practice medicine to earn a living? The one part that really discredited everything was the story of the lab experiment of tooth decay in rats. Rats, similiar to tooth decay susceptibility as humans were given rat chow with pasteurized milk and one group without milk and lo and behold the pasteurized milk fed rats had more cavities, BUT there were no test done on raw milk fed rats......are we not getting the whole story? I gave it two stars only because it can make a person think and has some entertainment value. I am a dairy farmer, drink my own milk.....raw, but have drank pasteurized, both good for the body.
I am glad I did not pay new price, but still not worth it.

Summary: Freedom lost , Health lost
Review: I had been trying to buy this book for years, sometimes finding a copy but the asking price being over $100. I am so glad it has been republished. Being a conservative I usually frown on corporate and governmental conspiracy notions, but this book has opened my eyes to both. What the health bureaucrats and the dairy industry did to Raw Certified Milk was nothing short of a travesty on the health of this nation. It proves that the general public will always give up freedom due to fear. This is a tactic common in Communist and socialist countries and it is a shame that it is practiced here as well. (The Patriot act is another example of freedoms lost in an instant due to fear induced by the government). Will the tremendous benefits of Raw Milk ever be known again? The odds unfortunately are against it. I read Dirk Van Loon's 'The Family Cow' years ago and then bought a Jersey cow and milked her. Even though I nearly got Carpal-Tunnel syndrome doing it by hand, it was a great experience. We now have more land and are looking forward to buying another milk cow (with a machine milker this time). Armed with the knowledge of how to produce clean fresh REAL milk via Dr Douglass's book, my family will be able to shed the grocery store garbage that carries the name of milk today.
