War-on-raw-milk---one-of-the-most-complete-foods-on-the-planet
Since ancient times, physicians like Hippocrates, Galen, Pliny and Varro have used raw milk to cure a wide range of diseases. Hippocrates advised tuberculosis sufferers to drink raw milk in quantity. In the Ayurvedic medicine of India, milk is used in the practice of brimhana meaning to “buck up” or nourish the body. It’s also used in rasayana to rejuvenate the body and in vajikarana, to promote sexual function and fertility. Physicians prescribed raw milk as a gentle laxative, to cool inflammation of ulcerated tissues, and as a galactagogue to increase milk production for the nursing mother. In the U.S., raw milk was used for one hundred fifty years to treat a wide range of conditions and is still used today in some hospitals in European and other countries.
In an 1884 paper read before a meeting of the American Medical Association, Dr. James Tyson provided a short history of the milk cure in Europe. Dr. Inozemtseff of Moscow wrote a book called Milk Cure in 1857, in which he describes the treatment of a thousand cases. In 1864, Dr. Philip Karell read a paper on the milk cure before the medical society of St. Petersburgh. Said Karell: “With regard to my own practice I have, after fruitlessly trying all sorts of remedies in many chronic and obstinate diseases, at last succeeded in bringing the elementary [alimentary] canal, that seat of so many diseases, under my control. I did this by administering milk according to a new method.” In treating digestive disease, liver problems, asthma and other lung disorders, nervous diseases he concluded,"... in all these cases I consider milk as the best and surest of remedies.” Physicians had similar success in Germany and France.
Silas Weir Mitchell, MD, specialist in treating nervous disorders during and after the Civil War, advocated a treatment that consisted primarily in isolation, confinement to bed, dieting, electrotherapy and massage--popularly known as “Dr Diet and Dr Quiet.” Mitchell advocated a high-fat diet to his patients, mostly women, and large quantities of milk. He suggested that his patients consume two quarts or more of milk a day.
The Milk Cure at the Mayo Clinic
Dr. J.R. Crewe, founder of the Mayo Foundation, treated disease for eighteen years with an exclusive raw milk diet and found it to be the single most important factor in his treatments. The Milk Cure, also known as “immune milk therapy,” consists of sipping four to five quarts of raw milk throughout day for a period of two to four weeks, along with daily enemas and very hot baths to facilitate detoxification. Dr. Crewe reported favorable results for a wide range of illnesses including cancer, infection, nerve and brain disorders, weight loss, metabolic disorders, heart and blood diseases, kidney disease, digestive disease, allergies, skin problems, urinary tract problems, reproductive issues, cavities, periodontal disease and musculoskeletal conditions. In his 1923 book, Dr. Charles Sanford Porter MD confirmed the effectiveness of the raw milk diet with thousands of patients. He believed that raw milk’s curative powers lay in strengthening the quality of the blood.
Treatment for digestive diseases
Milk has helped cure gastric disorders, especially ulcers, for centuries. In June 1884, Professor James Tyson, reported in the Journal of American Medical Association on the effectiveness of his raw milk in the treatment of GI diseases, including colitis, IBS, ulcers, gastritis; constipation, hemorrhoids, dysentery, diarrhea, liver disorders and gallstones. Regarding ulcers, Dr. Crewe proclaimed: “No other food than milk cures it! In the 19th century, the French anatomist Jean Cruveilheir believed that raw milk was the most important part of the treatment for gastric ulcer. He also used raw milk for treatment of many gastric disorders, noting that raw milk was better digested than boiled milk.
Charles Sanford Porter, MD, who treated more than eighteen thousand patients for over thirty-seven years had good results with colitis, IBS, ulcerative colitis, and ulcers of the digestive tract. Benjamin M. Bernstein, MD., a gastroenterologist, had great success with a variety of gastrointestinal disorders, even cases considered terminal.
Treatment for malnutrition
Raw milk treats malnutrition in four ways: it spares digestion so that the body can devote energy to healing; it provides every nutrient that we need in easily assimilable form; it contains compounds that heal the digestive tract so that nutrients may be better absorbed; it contains several factors that support a balanced microbiome, including the bifidus factor and special sugars called oligosaccharides that serve as food for beneficial bacteria.
Healing the liver
In the late 1800s, the French used raw milk along with potassium iodide to treat alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver.
