since switching to raw milk I am dramatically better about lactose intolerance. The paturizing process kills all the bacteria good and bad.Its the difference between live milk and a dead product. it kills the CLA and so forth, so you lose most any benefit from drinking it. I switched to organic milk for a while and did better, but once I switched back to raw it was amazing. no more lactose intolerance! no gas after drinking it. no more belly ache.

Red meat is very tricky as well. if I eat supermarket meat I get tummy aches, rashes, and dont feel well. I can get headaches, stumbly and generally have trouble. if I eat meat from the local farm that is grass fed, free range and we know each scrap of food that animal ate, and it wasnt rammed full of antibiotics I can eat all the red meat I want. Did you know that a normal package of hamburger from the grocery store has 100s of different cows mixed into the meat?

I know where my chickens come from as well. I can go visit them, check on their diet, see that their houses are clean and their eggs are well tended. The yokes of their eggs are a deep dark yellow, but the ones from the store are pale and light.

I think that the commercialization of our foods has done us a great disservice and we are paying the price for it. ADD, ADHD, Bi-polar, Lupus, MS, and so many other inflammatory conditions. Most of the corn grown today in the USA is meant for commercial purposes such as high fructose corn syrup, or other such chemically laden products.

Once I started educating myself about what I was putting into my body, from food to medicine to exposing myself to harmful cleansers and toxic body lotions I was shocked. When I started removing these things from my life, it improved dramatically.
