Raw Milk???

Are you scared to drink raw milk? Interestingly enough most people are and really don't know why? They heard from someone that raw milk can make you sick? Could it be the media's influence, your parents, friends, microbiology class, your doctor who took one nutrition class in college??? Well, there is some truth that one should be careful when drinking raw milk because you just don't want to drink any source. However, luckily we live in California and there is a farm called Organic Pastures in Ca. This company will give you only the highest quality of raw milk. They are super tested for pathogens quite often and you can rest assured that what you are drinking is safe. My wife even drank it during pregnancy and our child is extremely healthy.

The benefits of raw milk are numerous:
Natural organic raw milk has in it vitally important living things. These include the following: beneficial bacteria, enzymes (including lipase, protease. and other), lactase forming bacteria, and many enzyme based pathogen killing systems. The common practice of pasteurization inactivates or dramatically reduces the effects of these important active (living) elements. As a result, you may be lactose intolerant when drinking pasteurized milk, but not lactose intolerant when you drink raw milk. This is because lactase enzymes are being formed when you digest raw milk. That is why we say, "only living milk brings life."

Whether or not you consume raw milk I highly recommend avoiding pasteurized dairy. If you decrease your consumption of this toxic product, you will often experience the following benefits:

Weight Loss
Decrease in allergies, asthma, sinus issues
Decrease in joint pain
Decrease in bloating, gas, IBS, leaky gut, colitis
Enhancement of immune system

Do your own research and take responsibility for your health. Avoid listening to the media and uneducated docs who haven't done the research:

Give During The Holidays!

The end of the year is always a stressful time. The streets are packed with holiday shoppers, on their phones weaving in and out of traffic. Has anyone else noticed how bad people drive during this time of the year when most are frantic going from one to holiday party to another and shopping without a budget?

I am getting everything ready to complete the year and preparing for 2008. In addition, I often feel that I have to buy gifts for family and friends because that is what people do this time of the year, right? How did we get into the situation we are in with buying so many gifts? Where did we lose the meaning of the holidays? Gotta love marketing.

Please consider, asking for what you need instead of what you want to keep up with those around you. Will getting that NEW item really make you feel better about yourself? For how long? How many clothes, shoes and items that you had to have are just sitting around collecting dust?

There are so many people in the world that are in need of basic things like food and supplies. You may not know this, but there are people right here in the Bay Area that could use your help.

Think about what you can do this holiday season to help another. I guarantee you will feel rewarded for a much longer period of time knowing you helped change an individual's life.

Take care of yourself by eating better and getting daily movement and sleep. That is what we really need.
