Raw milk in my health and practice
In
1970, I went to live on the island of Martha's
Vineyard. I was quite ill with gastrointestinal
problems. I began living mostly on seafood,
fresh vegetables and salads, and raw milk
and eggs purchased from a local farmer, with
a little meat and whole grain bread. My health
problems, intractable for years before, disappeared.
Raw
milk remained a mainstay of my diet. Since
1981 I have strongly recommended raw milk
to thousands of people who have seen me in
my practice as a naturopathic physician. I
practice in Connecticut, where we enjoy the
right to purchase certified raw milk throughout
the state (with the exception of the town
of Fairfield, where a fascist local health
board has instituted an unchallenged-for-lack-of-funds
town ordinance prohibiting the sale of raw
milk).
