If you are trying raw milk for the first time, pregnant or not, I recommend starting with a small glass at a time just so your body can get used to the increase in good bacteria entering your system!

Thank you for the links. They are indeed very easy recipes. I will try them soon. And yes, I have had raw milk in the past but I had gone completely away from it.

Yesterday I had my first 6 oz glass of it and my stomach felt it. For sure I will have to sip through the day to get used to it again! Thanks again! Thank you so much for this. I have a new found cavity and was told that my only option was extract or root canal.

so, i came home and started researching -now i have 2 bottles of cod liver oil on there way to my house and will start oil pulling. i have already started eating chicken liver and trying to get up the nerve to eat beef liver. but i bought your book and i am going to learn how to make kefir and yogurt.

thank you thank you jessica. Your blog posts are so interesting! I would really love to try oil pulling especially after having four cavities filled , but a huge part of your diet seems to consist of raw milk.

What would you recommend for someone who is lactose intolerant? My godson was raised on raw milk and when he married and moved he suddenly became lactose intolerant. I never drank anything but growing up, but within the last fifteen years raw milk has become VERY difficult to find where we live.

Thanks for the info on oil pulling and also on raw milk. Storebought, pasteurized milk is totally different than raw milk, despite the organic label. I recommend buying the best label you can afford organic, grass fed, local and culturing it yogurt, kefir.

Almond milk is what I use because my raw milk dealers is to far away without a car. But next time your in Alabama check out Mississippi for raw milk. There are several stores that sell it in Ocean Springs MS and in Van Cleave MS.

Thanks for the input. It has given me a lot to work with. The kefir is something I believe is key to good health. I am in the Gadsden area!! Hi, Cheyenne! We are currently driving to Georgia for milk—you could look into Carlton Farms. Hey Trina, Thanks for all the great info.

on oil pulling. I live in Ashville Al. We have a friend who has several goats that he milks. It is soooo good! I might be willing to try it at that price. I have been thinking of rekindling my raw milk adventures… reading your blog is giving me inspiration!

I bought a few freezer drawers full of raw goat milk last year and also started lacto-fermenting. I may have to try again, but I will use cow also, so I can have it!! I have some kefir grains the freezer on the kitchen side now as I have just dug them out to defrost and my dehydrator is crying out to be used as a yogurt maker, lol.

I wrote a blog on my adventures lacto-fermenting using breast milk if you fancy a read…. are you still lactating?

Are you familar with flax and chia seeds? Will these help with diet? Thanks For any healthy suggestions! Victoria, I do think that raw milk kefir will have even more friendly bacteria and enzymes!

Hello there! Are there some supplements I could replace it with? Hi, I was just wondering what your thoughts on Greek yogurt are? What is it about raw milk that makes it optimum?

com to learn more about the wonderful benefits of whole, raw milk! And then I messed up my gut as a child with cane sugar plain old white sugar. We recently tried having goats, fed them all organic wheat, soy, gmo free grain and hay. They had the best stuff with herbal dewormers, herbs at thier disposal, organic kelp, raspberry leaves, comfrey….

you name it. Very healthy goats. I tried to drink the milk, but it was a loss. I just spent the last year healing my gut after one season of trying to drink it.

So, for now, I will have to just stick with homemade coconut milk. I have yeast issues, too, so fermented foods set my body off as well. I can only hope that my kids will be better off…NEVER let your kids have sugar if you can help it….

it ruins their health for generations. I am new to all of this! I just found your blog today post about oil pulling and started clicking all your links 🙂 I have LOTS of questions about milk.

I have hated the taste since early elementary age. However, that was always store bought milk. How does raw milk compare in taste to store bought milk? I gag every time I think about drinking milk.

I tried not to put my distaste for milk on my children when they were young however all three seem to have an allergy to milk protein. I am curious how raw milk would affect them.

My middle might actually be growing out of it. My oldest she is 12 still has problems with things like ice cream and yogurt. They all three love yogurt however if they have some everyday they would have severe congestion which would lead or sinus infections or ear infections. Even my 12 year old. I can get raw milk in my state but wondering if it would affect them even more.

What do you think? Raw milk is an entirely different animal than pasteurized, homogenized milk. It does taste quite different than store bought milk, and it is MUCH easier to digest, so you may all be pleasantly surprised.

Have you seen my super simple yogurt recipe? Okay Trina, If you are moving to central Alabama you might want to check out Wright Dairy. They even have a drive up window. They did a segment on Wright last week. It is about an hour drive for me from Alabaster, but they say it is worth it.

Yes yes!! Less than a year ago we finally were able to buy our own home with 2 acres. This past summer we got two Nubian baby goats in order to milk them in 2 years. We began to try to train one of the goats to tie so she could go to my brother-in-laws home for the winter until we can afford the variance, but she strangled herself.

We will probably get goats again provided we can get the variance from the county but if you are looking into your own animals, check your county regulations first and then be prepared for the unknown.

Wow, Bethany, it sounds like you have really been intentional about your milk consumption! I understand the cost factor, but there are other things to consider. These people were generally more sensitive in their general health, as I observed.

But I saw kids covered with eczema and families with many asthmatics, that had to get up to tend to them multiple times a nite, who got free of their illnesses when they started drinking copiously of what I like to call liquid gold.

One gal did a fast on raw milk and overcame whooping cough that no medicine had helped her with. One young man cannot tolerate store bought milk, nor its products, and would have terrible gas if he consumed them. He had no negative reaction to the raw milk. The family was greatly relieved, esp.

on car trips! Give it to the family member that needs it most first. Get them well. Stop paying for empty calories, s. a chips, juice very hard on our insulin mechanism—drink water instead and other junk food.

Stop eating out. Grow your own food, esp this time of year. Consider selfwatering container gardening, so well explained on many YouTube videos.

No worries about the watering, which is a huge one for me!! Texas, lol. Find a grocery clearance. Most towns have them. I even found a health food clearance center.

they want it thick and smooth, put theirs in a smoothie. Consider using baking soda and vinegar for much of your cleaning and toiletry. I make my own toothpaste from coconut oil and baking soda and peppermint oil. So cheap. I wash my hair with 1 TB baking soda to 1c water, and as a make it with the same dilution of vinegar.

My hair is clean, shiny and no tangles. Plain baking soda for under your arms. Other recipes are out there. It can be lots of fun.

Watch your mileage. Go to the store once a week instead of every day or two. Make a list and stick to it. Plan your meals instead of letting produce rot oh, how I know this one!!

Canned coconut milk is a must. Coconut milk goes beyond dessert, however. Use it as a substitute for heavy cream in hearty Italian and Indian dishes so you can still enjoy your favorite decadent meals. The experts say coconut milk also provides a hefty dose of vitamins and minerals , namely iron and magnesium.

For a lighter version to use in coffee or smoothies, try half-fat or light coconut milk. Canned coconut milk is definitely what you would rather use for baking and cooking. Soy milk is also a popular plant-based alternative and is high in protein and low in carbs and sugar.

However, experts avoided consuming more than cups of soy per day that includes your edamame order and tofu scramble so as not to adversely affect your hormone levels.

Cashew milk offers relatively the same nutritional profile as almond milk, and is a popular alternative in yogurt-form as well. Oat milk is celebrated for its creamy, thicker texture, but it comes with a steeper calorie and carb count per cup.

Try using it in coffee drinks, lattes, and dessert recipes as an alternative to whole milk. Used to tossing vegetables or frying eggs with butter before cooking them? Try using coconut oil instead. Like olive oil and avocado oil, coconut oil is also offered in a convenient spray for all your dairy-free non-stick needs.

Yes, I was just watching an Alice Waters video, too, and she has a very minimalist kitchen and hand makes almost everything.

To me, that is cooking and baking! I love the list! There are some great ideas I am going to try! I love my high powered blender and my temp controlled electric tea kettle too.

Have you tried Yonanas? It was big a couple of years ago, but my family still loves it. I currently own a Vitamix that has 5 preset modes on the left side, with one for making smoothies with and another the cleaning mode.

Best investment of my life. I need to learn how to make other things besides smoothies using the Vitamix blender though. Another really inexpensive one I like is my little citrus press.

These are all great kitchen tools and most of them are on my must have list! I love my immersion blender and crock pot! I seriously need to update my sheet pans and those look like a great option.
