Raw Weston Price / Re: Only 2 of 12 Tribes Consumed ANY Dairy

Half the truth of dairy is that without the right gut flora you won't digest the lactose. But those bacteria can be built up by eating small amounts and supplementing with probiotics. I even did implants with extremely high counts of many different forms of probiotics. Could say more if anyone is interested. The next half, is is your milk coming from either cow or preferably goats eating GREEN grass and weeds, bushes, etc. And not just grass that may be brown, cut, processed. Most dairy consuming cultures almost always culture their milk in some way or another, hence, cheese, yogurt, kefir etc..... It is VERY hard to meet all these requirements, yet when milk was used as in Switzerland all the requirements were met routinely. For example, when winter came and green grass and summer had passed, the mountain people dried up their animals till they gave birth in spring when the grasses were green again. They relied on their cultured cheeses and butter over the winter. It's only in 'our' attempts to shortcut the process that we've messed with natures formula that has historically built some pretty strong individuals with the milk collected from animals.I have to tell you that as a Physician, I have tried raw grass fed milk with hundreds of lactose intolerant patients and up to this point every single on eof them had no complaints with raw dairy. Lactase does occur naturally in raw milk. I have even had people with so called milk allergies do fine with raw dairy. That is my experience, I have heard different stories from others.
