Mayo Clinic Using Raw Milk As Medicine?
January 2010 news letter by Eldore Hanni

Yes, it happened in the early 1900s. Raw milk from pasture fed cows, rich in butterfat was recognized in medical literature almost exclusively as a useful food and a complete food. Raw milk resembles blood very closely, and was often used  exclusively as medicine  by Doctor Crewe when he founded the Mayo Clinic..The therapy was very simple. Patients were put at rest in bed and given at half hour intervals small quantities of milk totaling from five to ten quarts per day. This was called ‘The Milk Cure!’

Quoting Doctor Crewe; “For fifteen years the writer has employed the certified milk treatment in various diseases and during the past ten he had a small sanitarium devoted principally to this treatment. The results obtained in various types of disease have been so uniformly excellent that one’s conception of disease and its alleviation is necessarily changed. The method itself is so simple that it does not greatly interest most doctors and the main stimulus for its use is from the patients themselves,” Following are some examples of diseases that were treated using the grass fed raw milk formula with very favorable results;

Tuberculosis, diseases of the nervous system, cardiovascular and renal conditions, hypertension, underweight problems, obesity, (one patient reduced from 325 pounds to 284 in two weeks on four quarts of milk per day, while her blood pressure was reduced from 220 to 170.). Chronic Gastritis, Chronic Bright’s disease, Cancer of the stomach, Rheumatic fever, Psoriasis, (One very serious psoriasis patient had the skin of a baby after less than a month on the milk diet).  It is well known that there is no time in the live of practically any mammal, but especially of the human, when the body is so beautiful and perfect as during the period when milk is the only food. It will be admitted that there is no period in life when the body is so perfect as in infancy, the infant being fed on milk from a healthy mother. Anemia, including Pernicious Anemia, Thyroid problems, Prostatic diseases and associated conditions, The raw milk diet will cause reduction of the gland and lessening of obstruction. Diabetes, Hypertension, responds with equal gratification, The blood pressure improves rapidly.

This one page news letter can not list all diseases which respond to the grass fed raw milk diet. But there are many. The important thing is to buy only milk from grass or hay fed animals. Also, our creator designed dairy cows to produce an average of 35 pounds of milk per day. This milk will contain a balanced nutrition of just as much omega 3 as omega 6. It will also contain  large amounts of CLA (conjugate linoleic acid) which is effective in weight loss and also prevents cancer. Many force fed cows are now producing as much as 150 pounds of milk per day, which is no longer a nutritionally balanced healthy food product. We, at Farmstead Fresh Inc, do not recommend consuming dairy products made from the milk of high production force fed dairy animals. Neither do we recommend consuming any pasteurized milk or dairy products They are no longer considered to be health promoting products. All of our raw milk cheese is produced from grass fed raw milk from dairy animals on small sustainable agriculture family farms. We strive to continue producing the most nutritious, delicious, health promoting grass fed raw milk cheese on planet earth.
