a long way from having enough herd- share owners to pull this off. I think the consumer is going to find it increasingly difficult to find raw dairy because of the environment being created by the dairy industry.

WAPF has launched a “Save Family Farms” campaign by urging more people to drink raw milk. See below.
RAW MILK BATTLE IN CANADA
Here in Alberta, Canada, we are fighting a legal battle to allow herd- share agreements. Please visit Farm Fresh Milk Facebook site at https://m. facebook.com/profile.php?id=2173628 12483137&ref=content_filter
Please feel free to “like” and “share” and post anywhere and every- where so that we can gather the strong online presence needed to educate and gather support. We will be posting content to the page regularly. Our goal is to gain ten thousand followers. This will enable us to show that there is strong support for making farm fresh milk available in Alberta and will give weight to our proposed policy that will be presented shortly to the various political parties participating in the up- coming provincial election in Alberta.
We know that a “like” and “share” from WAPF will contribute a lot to the overall goal of our campaign to make farm fresh milk available to all who wish to drink it!

RAW MILK FORMULA
I am writing to tell you thank you,
thank you, thank you. I have a three- month-old baby. She fussed for the first
While I was waiting for the in- gredients to come, I happened to start reading through the rest of your writing on nursing and baby health and learned about being able to supplement nursing using a Lact-Aid. What’s that!? I had never heard of that before. I looked it up and squealed with delight. I thought, “This is the answer!”
And it was. I’ve been using the Lact-Aid to supplement nursing using the raw milk formula recipe now for two weeks and she is a totally differ- ent baby. I love love love her! She is so happy and smiling, cooing and gig- gling. Also, she sleeps so well now. It’s nothing short of a miracle, I feel. So I thank you for saving my sanity and my baby’s health. I feel like God led me to your work and your life-saving infor- mation, so thank you for all you do.
(Oh, and by the way, I am back to eating normal healthy food. No more AIP for me! She’s doing just fine with me back on all those foods.)

PROBLEMS WITH COMMERCIAL PROBIOTICS
Probiotic foods are traditional staples throughout the world. Recent studies on probiotics and probiotic foods are showing amazing findings. It is fascinating to see some of the stud- ies on food-based probiotics and then compare them to commercial probiot- ics. When studying each food, different techniques are often used to test what the probiotic food can do inside your body, and which pathogens they coun- teract. Studying commercial probiotics, or using commercial probiotics is a totally different subject.
two-and-one-half months of her life and slept very little. I was exhausted and felt like something was wrong, but what?! I was ready to give her away! She was born at home even before the midwife arrived so I didn’t feel it was anything from her birth. I finally decided she must be allergic to foods I was eating, so I took out foods until I got clear down to the AIP (Auto Immune Protocol) diet.
She was better but still more fussy than I felt was okay. She cried every time I held her. I finally broke down and decided maybe she wasn’t getting enough to eat as she was still pretty tiny. I knew the only formula I’d give her was the homemade raw milk recipe. So I reluctantly and sadly ordered the ingredients knowing this was the begin- ning of the end of nursing.
