Over the past ten years, a half dozen studies out of Europe all point in the same direction, namely that consumption of raw milk during childhood provides protection against allergies, asthma and eczema. A new study has found that children growing up on dairy farms (and presumably drinking raw milk) have one-tenth the risk of developing allergies (Science-Daily.com, July 9, 2014). But it’s a recent study with rats that really piqued our interest. Four groups of rats received dairy protein-free rat chow plus either raw milk, gamma-sterilized milk, heated milk or water via drink bottles. Mice drinking raw milk had the best responses to allergens (Br J Nutr. 2014 Aug;112(3):390-7). It’s a real step forward to see the effects of raw milk studied in animals—and pubished in the prestigious British Journal of Nutrition, no less. We need more studies like this, research that looks at the effects of raw versus pasteurized milk on bone density and growth, organ integrity, iron status, reproduction and even behavior. We predict that studies on raw milk will proliferate—at least in Europe—as more and more honest researchers see this as a way to making a real contribution to the future health of our children.

I grew up on a farm and we drank milk straight from the cow.
I developed eczema at age 18 working with chemicals and to this day still have it, 45 years later.
So raw milk did not help me much.

You seemed to have chemical toxic poisoning build-up which is not an allergy. You need to detox from the chemicals separate to continuing to drink raw milk for other reasons of health.
Jennifer, what do you do to detox your body from chemicals.?
Hi Martha! All too often folks are under the impression detoxing the body is a quick fix. The supplement industry has made millions with this concept with their 3-day, 7-day & 30-day detox kits which cost a fortune. Detox is a lifestyle. One must evaluate lifestyle choices in food & living AND must be consistent!
Is having diarrhea from raw milk normal? I grew up drinking ultra-pasteurized & homogenized whole milk all my life, and recently heard about the benefits from raw milk and wanted to try it. Because I was afraid to try it completely raw, I decided to make an omelet with it (so it was cooked basically) and I ended up getting diarrhea for 2 weeks. The only thing that got me back to normal stool was drinking bentonite clay capsules. I’m open to suggestions on any steps to transition from pasteurized to raw because of its benefits.
Can someone with Crohn’s drink raw milk? Does it matter what kind of cows it comes from?
Why even promote lab rat studies? Anyone in lab research knows, animal studies, rarely, translate to human results. Lab studies, with rats, mice, rabbits, etc. are merely “suggestive” to go to the next step. This is science protocol. AND often these animals are GE. This is standard. The anti-milk community promotes manipulated rat studies to push their agenda, therefore, the raw milk community must rise above agenda driven ideologies & focus on ‘real’ human studies with science backed facts. Fortunately, human studies on raw milk are slowly coming around and these are not testimonials, but, true science endeavors. As with lab rats, testimonials are not science fact.
My 18 month old son has developed ecsema this last month. At the same time I have stopped breastfeeding and switched to raw cows milk for him before bed. My doctor says it’s the milk causing the ecsema. Is this likely the cause? Thank you!
Vaccines are one cause(s) of eczema.
Goats milk is closer to human milk. Was the one used in the Bible and throughout ancient times..
He is completely UNvaccinated. He will never ever, EVER have that poison injected into him. I will try goats milk. Thank you for taking the time to respond to me.
Try A2 milk, he might be intolerant to A1 casein.
It is true that goat’s milk was commonly consumed throughout antiquity, as well as sheep’s milk, both biblically validated; but also mare’s milk, water buffalo, musk oxen, camel, and that of cattle. Which milk was/is consumed varies depending on region of the world, what animals are native and available in each area. Likewise, fat and other nutrient content varies as well. For instance, water buffalo milk contains on average, 16% butterfat!
Hello. For one w/sensitivities to dairy, what would be a good read recommendation?
