source of admiration and even envy to many. As for baby Gino, Sunny gave him Calcar- ea phosphorica 3X and Lycopodium 200C twice daily for a few months to reduce his voracious appetite. As a result, his hunger was no longer insatiable nor his belly distended. At present, Gino no longer needs to take these remedies, nor does Sunny require China officinalis. Why? Because homeopathy aims to correct conditions, rather than suppressing, supplementing, or even supporting—homeopathy simply uproots the
ailment.
Sunny initially learned about China of-
ficinalis in one of my courses, where I teach students about the remedy’s utility for nursing mothers. I myself learned the practical use of this medicine in Kolkata, India, from the doc- tors who work under Dr. Pratip Banerji. There
they use the remedy for Indian village women who work tirelessly in the fields under the hot sun. China officinalis is their go-to medicine for physical over-exertion.
China officinalis has become my go-to medicine for any adrenal fatigue condition that arises from fluid loss. No saliva test needed. No blood test required. Just common sense and practical homeopathy.

RAW MILK COURT PROCEEDINGS IN ONTARIO, CANADA
The outcome of a May 29 hearing in Canada will determine the availability of raw milk for the whole country. The hearing was about the injunctions issued by York Region and Ontario in 2016. These injunctions aimed to stop distribu- tion of raw milk from the alleged “milk plant” at Glencolton Farms. The farm, cooperatively owned by one hundred fifty families, is located about two hours northwest of Toronto, in Grey County near Durham. If granted, the injunctions would prohibit the sharing of raw milk in the York Region. While there are currently laws on the books in Canada that prohibit sales of raw milk, the families who own Glencolton Farm argue that these laws are not applicable in this situation because it is only the owners of the farm who have access to the milk. Simcoe Region and Peel Region have joined the injunc- tion application, affecting people in those jurisdictions as well. If the judge grants the injunctions, those who continue to participate in the production, bottling or delivery of the milk would face criminal contempt of court charges.
If all Canadians comply with the injunction, there will be no more raw milk available in Canada except to the few dairy farmers who live on the farms.
Almost three hundred supporters showed up at the courthouse each day to witness the hearings. The courtroom overflowed to the jury selection room where proceedings were livestreamed by the court.
On Monday and Tuesday, the Crown gave their submissions to the court. Their lengthy submissions left out important details including how the farm cooperative operates and nuances in the Milk Act that are important to the case. On the third day, Elisa VanderHout gave submissions to the court on behalf of herself and the Agriculture Renewal Cooperative. She took most of the day to go over the details missed by the Crown’s attorneys. She offered the court full information about how the cooperative was structured and how it works to remain within the law. She was followed by Jona Evans, the pastor of the church where farm owners meet to pick up their items from the farm. He submitted to the court on behalf of the church community.
Markus Schmidt, Michael Schmidt’s son, closed out the day with his powerful submission about what it was like to grow up with the constant threat of farm raids and the devastating effect the ongoing raids had on his family.
Michael Schmidt gave his testimony on June 5 followed by Skip Taylor, a representative for Our Farm Our Food Coop. The judge will issue a decision after reviewing all submissions.
According to Elisa VanderHout, speaking on behalf of the Agricultural Renewal Coop and the farm owners, “We are
glad this part of the court proceedings are over. One way or another, the results of this hearing leave us with a clear path. However the judge rules—it will affect us all.”
