NY Times Admits Raw Milk is cure for allergies!!

Health Impact News Editor

In an opinion column by Moises Velasquez-Manoff of the New York Times, the cure for modern day allergies is presented, from the farm!

The column title is A Cure for the Allergy Epidemic? and begins with the question: WILL the cure for allergies come from the cowshed?

The presumed answer is “yes.”

Moises recounts a visit to an Indiana Amish farm with an allergist from Indianapolis. They found that Amish people in northern Indiana are relatively free from allergies. In fact, he makes the rather astonishing comment that “the Indiana Amish (are) among the least allergic populations ever described in the developed world.”

They rule out genetics by noting that the Amish originally came over to the U.S. from the German speaking populations of Switzerland, but modern Swiss children, who would be genetically similar to the Amish, are just as allergy prone as U.S. children.

So what do they think is the “Amish secret” to avoiding allergies?

According to European scientists, they call it “the farm effect.” Here is how they summarized it:

The working hypothesis is that innocuous cowshed microbes, plant material and raw milk protect farming children by favorably stimulating their immune systems throughout life, particularly early on.

The column highlights the various aspects of farm life and exposure to various microbes that seem to prevent allergies from developing in farm children the way they do in urban children. Then, Moises makes a comment about raw milk:

In Europe, the consumption of unpasteurized milk has repeatedly correlated with protection against allergic disease. In America, 80 percent of the Amish studied by Dr. Holbreich consume raw milk. In a study published earlier this year, Dr. Schaub’s group showed that European children who consumed farm milk had more of those regulatory T-cells, irrespective of whether they lived on farms. The higher the quantity of those cells, the less likely these children were to be given diagnoses of asthma. Here, finally, is something concrete to take off the farm.

So the conclusion therefore should be that more people should drink raw milk to prevent allergies, right? Nope.

None of these scientists recommend that people consume raw milk; it can carry deadly pathogens. Rather, they hope to identify what’s protective in the milk and either extract it or preserve the ingredients during processing.

In other words, let’s certainly not advocate what we can see plainly works. That would upset our preconceived ideas of what is proper for people (and bring about a loss of profit for the makers and marketers of all those allergy medicines). Instead, wait for us to develop something that is not natural so we can patent it, and then we will approve it and sell it to you.

Vitamin C Helps Lower Blood Pressure

Vitamin C Helps Lower Blood Pressure
Scientists at Johns Hopkins recently performed a meta-analysis of vitamin C studies relating to blood pressure going back to 1966. After analyzing data from 29 different clinical trials, they found that over an eight-week period, study participants who took around 500 mg of vitamin C per day experienced an average drop in systolic blood pressure (the top number) of nearly 4 points, and diastolic pressure (the bottom number) of about 1.5 points. And the results were slightly better among participants who had high blood pressure to begin with-their systolic numbers dropped by nearly 5 points.
Given the multitude of benefits of vitamin C and the fact that roughly one in three US adults has high blood pressure, this inexpensive and utterly harmless intervention should be a mainstream recommendation. As one study author pointed out, “[I]f the entire US population lowered blood pressure by 3 [points], there would be a lot fewer strokes.” But don’t expect the Institute of Medicine to change its tune any time soon-that broken record is still advising women and men to get a paltry 75 mg and 90 mg of vitamin C per day, respectively. I stand by my longtime recommendation that everyone take a daily multinutrient that contains 500-1,000 mg of vitamin C.

We live in an increasingly toxic world and your body is under constant attack.
Has your body’s exceeeded its toxic limit? Are you losing the battle?
Let’s find out…

How many of these toxic ‘cover-ups’ infest your dinner table daily?
Hormone-pumped meat from cows, pigs, or chickens and antibiotic-laced dairy from commercial cattle? Conventionally grown and chemically sprayed fruits and vegetables. Package foods and desserts that are loaded with hidden sugars and articial ingredients? Whole grains that are said to be healthy but are actually packed with allergenic ingredients like gluten, which has been linked to countless health problems including auto-immune disorders?
And how many of these do you use all the time…
Medicines like Advil, Aspirin, or Tylenol? Plastics and food containers? Cleaning and laundry supplies? Make-up and personal care products?

The reason I ask is because all of these foods and household products are jam-packed with chemicals and deadly toxins that have no business being inside your body.
If YOU feel more tired and worse today than you did a few years ago…OR notice that your body is being held prisoner by digestive problems, excess weight, candida, leaky gut, constipation, IBS, allergies, out-of-control blood lipids, or up and down blood sugar levels…
Then YOU Can Be Sure That You’re Chock-Full of DEADLY Toxins Like:
• Pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides
• Heavy metals like mercury, aluminum, and lead
• Genetically modified “franken foods” that alter your DNA
• Unnatural hormone and antibiotic residues
These toxins are making you age faster… they are tearing your body apart from the inside-out… they are forcing your body to cling on to unncessary fat… and most importantly, these “invisible” toxins are slowly but surely shortening your life span and robbing you of the quality of life you have left.
If You Want to Feel Healthier, More Energetic, and Overcome Your Health Issues Then…
…You absolutely MUST cleanse your body of these chemicals and toxins.
Your liver — the body’s detoxification organ – has become worn out and overly toxic. Because of this, cannot detoxify your body fully nor is it able to perform any of its other 500 roles properly.
That’s when hormone imbalances occur.
Blood sugar and blood lipid problems become rampant.
Your blood becomes increasingly acidic — prediposing to a number of dangerous diseases.
You become more agitated and “short-fused”.
You don’t expel toxins, excess choleterol, or built up fecal matter from your body.
And much more.
Is this what YOU want to experience?
I didn’t think so.
