Hi Gardenplum2,

There is no license for herbalist anywhere in America. You Know the land of the free. 

As far as insurance companies covering alternative treatment, Oregon did pass a law, that was on the ballot ( The only way it would have passed ),  that had insurance companies, having to cover some alternative treatment. Several states since then have looked into it, but I’m not sure any more states have passed similar laws. If any of our readers know of any, please let us know.

Thanks for the question Gardenlpum 2, and say hi to Gardenplum 1 for me

Here is a little bit of the history of the conversion of whole milk to pasteurized milk

 For the rest of the story go to measures. The cows died at unusually high rates.Distillery dairies continued to sell milk up into the 1900’s. The last one closed in New York in 1930. Even though reformers and medical groups called for an end to this practice of selling milk not fit for human consumption, the government did nothing.
So called “milk trains” were an attempt to get clean, fresh milk from traditional dairymen in the countryside into the cities. Yet compared to the high volume distillery dairies this was nothing but a trickle.A well known fact even at that time is that the cow’s diet determines the healthfulness of the milk. If fed a diet unfit for cows then they can only produce milk that is unfit for human consumption. Many people knew this but the swill milk industry thrived because it was plentiful and cheap.Slop milk was bluish in color and very thin so dealers added different things to make it look like white, whole milk including starch, sugar, flour, plaster of paris, and chalk!People knew that bad milk could lead to disease. “Nothing can be more certain than that the quality of milk is greatly influenced by the state of the health of the animal producing it”. So said the reformer Robert Hartley in his book on the state of milk production at that time in 1842 (pg 38).Not much has changed in 160 years. While the worst of the distillery diseases are gone, today in America cows live in confinement dairies, living in stalls they never leave, stalls sometimes welded shut, where they are fed “scientific” diets devoid of fresh grass, diets designed to maximize milk production with little thought to quality. These diets are high in grains, soybeans and “bakery waste” (bread, cakes, pastries- even candy bars) and citrus peel cake loaded with pesticides. These cows are not producing the kind of milk America’s children and adults need and deserve.

Special comment :

The history of the conversion of wholesome milk to pasteurized milk has nothing to do with an unstable product, but everything to do with shabby big business practices, money and politics. The results is lobbyists sponsored politicians, all but wiping out a God giving super food in return for campaign donations.  ( If it looks like a bribe, feels like a bribe, taste like a bribe, a—nd benefits the donor it’s probably a bribe …….in my opinion )

 In all fairness the big conversion happened long before most the the politicians were drinking any kind of milk themselves. But they are not totally off the hook as they need to do their homework and they have not. If they did, they would know they Raw milk is not a dangerous product. They also need to realize that people have the right to choose when it comes to their health and the health of their families. If someone chooses to do something for health reasons, particularly for the health of their children, that is against sponsor wisdom , They have probably done THEIR homework.

More and more people are buying raw milk . Not because they are rebels, are in some kind of a weird cult or just want to live on the wild side , but FOR HEALTH REASONS ! We need to get more involved in health freedoom issues for the sake of our health and the health of our childrens . The two biggest weapons we have is our voice and our vote. Please use both , and remember , the United States of America is a country of, the people, by the people, and for the people, not of, by, and for the lobbyist and their employers.

Got Milk ? What Kind ?

I grew up on milk that was not pasteurized, hormonalized, antibacterialized, or steroidilized.  It was milk that was not destroyed of enzymes, and most vitamins and minerals. It wasn’t called raw milk, as the name might imply something that might be unhealthy. It was just fresh whole milk , with all the god giving Vitamins, Minerals and Enzymes intact. It was from cows that were feed nutritious grass instead of unhealthy pesticided grains. It was bought and drank fresh, with delicious cream floating on the top. 

There were 7 children in my family and we were very healthy. I don’t remember any of us having broken bones, ear infections,  allergies, or any of the other problem you see so many children have today, and we did not have to take Calcium supplements.  Fresh WHOLE MILK (RAW) is making a come back. In part because people are starting to think for themselves and not let corporations, through lobbyist government, think for them. The following is, in part, a recent article from the Boston Globe.

GOT RAW MILK?

Patients are either ignoring their doctors or lying to them. Mothers are sneaking the stuff into their children’s cups. regulators are trying to control explosive growth. What has people so heated up over milk?

By David E. Gumpert / March 23, 2008

Boston Globe Magazine

Valerie Walbek is a 28-year old nurse practitioner at the Falmouth clinic who gives all her pregnant patients the same advice: Eat four daily servings of dairy products and by all means avoid any dairy that is unpasteurized. That’s because the US Food and Drug Administration, the Center for Disease control, and the American Medical Association have warned for years that unpasteurized – or “raw”- milk and cheeses can carry listeria, a potentially deadly kind of bacteria, and other pathogens that are particularly threatening to pregnant women and their babies.

But what Walbek doesn’t tell her patients is that when she was pregnant with her first child last year , she drank gallons of unpasteurized milk. The milk purchased from a Foxborough farm each week. With just a few notable exceptions – the midwife helping with the birth of her child, the Cape residents she shares milk pickup and delivery chores with, and her husband, Daniel Walbek, an engineer at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution – she didn’t confide in anyone one , even though she considers the four obstetricians she works with in the Falmouth practice “all friends.”

“I have mentioned to them that I go to a farm for my milk, but not that it is raw.” she says. Until now, eight month after the birth of her daughter, Lucia, Walbek hadn’ revealed this information publicly. I’m a little new to talk about it, she says.

Quietly – since the accepted medical and public health wisdom is that raw milk is a dangerous source of bacteria, including listeria, salmonella, and E.coli – hundreds of consumers around Boston have made the same decision.  A total of 24 Massachusetts dairies now have permits to sell raw milk, double the number two years ago. Just Dairy a buying club that delivers raw milk from central Massachusetts to  Boston – area consumers, now drop off more then 250 gallons weekly around the Metropolitan area, versus 25 gallons when launched five years ago. Producers around the state say that raw milk is increasingly a sought after product. Production is rising though raw milk sells for as much as $ 8.50 a gallon, verses about 3.50 for pasteurized milk.

Nationwide, it’s difficult to know how many people regularly consume unpasteurized milk. Selling raw milk is illegal in 18 states, and in four other, it can be purchased only as pet food. But Sally Fallon, founding president of the  Weston A. Price Foundation, a nonprofit advocacy and research group in Washington D.C. estimates  ( based on her organization analysis of CDC data) that about 500,00 Americans – about 5 percent of milk drinkers - regularly consume raw milk. The group believes that the number is growing exponentially.

To read the rest of the article, and please do, go to  boston.com  And if you live in one of the 18   states that you can not buy raw milk remember ,do not!  and I repeat do not !!! even give it to your guinea pig.  And you better have a good lawyer on hand if you do

Consume of raw ( whole) milk .

 I don’t think we are one of those 18 states? If we are please disregard the last statement .

Our health rights and freedoms are being attacked every day, and Health Freedom Advocates blog has been formed, to bring together and to educate the general public about those rights and freedoms. Our goal is to help protect our individual rights to choose, when it comes to our health, and the health of our families. To help achieve that goal we will help educate the general public about any legislation that has been, or hopes to be introduced. 

This blog has also been formed to bring together advocates of health freedom, and invite that community, to get together and to share ideas about what we can do to protect our individual health freedoms….. from supporting health freedom legislation, to forming local health freedom advocate groups, to running for office.

We hope that this blog will be helpful to you and that you will find the time to join in and be part of a growing community that is concerned about their individual health rights.

Thank you for vitisting the HFA blog
