Drinking raw milk is a life style for this family, creating health, happiness and longevity.

My story about drinking the raw milk is simple. When I was born my mother didn't have any breast milk to feed me and so she fed me with raw cow milk. I am 34 now and for all my life I've never had any disease and I was in the hospital only once - after car accident. How my mother knew about the raw cow milk? She is from a village originally and there drinking the raw milk is simply a life style. Raw milk, raw cream, raw butter, raw eggs and e.t.c. My aunt is 85 now. She lives in a village. She is still working hard and has never been in the hospital either. I remember myself being there - I was drinking raw milk in the morning, day, night - whenever I wanted - and it was beautifully tasty. I am drinking raw milk now (for 2 years after the break of 12 years - thanks to God, my friend Eef and Aajonus!), I feel myself perfectly healthy, I look good, I got my teenage perfect skin tone back. My kids are drinking milk as well. My 2 years old daughter drinks only raw milk with raw butter and raw honey - and she is fine too. Yes, my mother are healthy too and she never been in the hospital and never had any disease. But she is always saying that she wants to go back to the village and live there - and one of the reasons is that she want to eat this extremely healthy and very tasty food again - raw milk and raw everything that they usually have - the people who didn't forget the natural life style who live in balance with God and Mother Nature.

Healthfully,
Zana K.

Raw milk assists with energy and mental clarity.

I drink raw milk because it is a complete (whole) food, and
pasteurized milk is not.  Nature has designed raw milk in
such away that it will protect me from toxins.  My health
has been bolstered ever since I decided to drink raw milk,
and the impacts are not only noticeable on a physical level,
but also a mental level.  I am able to execute my days
activities with energy and clarity, mainly from the vitality
that raw milk provides me.  Before, consuming raw milk I
lead a very sluggish life.

We have a poet with us, who is on the raw food diet!

She is contributing her poem entitled:

Love Feels Hurt Too

Love cannot be controlled

Love cannot be bought

Love cannot be sold

Love cannot be manipulated

Love cannot be duplicated

And Love cannot be created by Spirit

Love is Love

Love cannot be anointed

Or be appointed

As protection from fear

Protection from pain

Love does not exist for Personal Gain

Love seems to live in the shadows of Poems and Songs

And Love on this Planet always tries to find where Love belongs

For Love sees that so many many Hearts are Closed

So even Love has discovered

And knows

That this is not a Place that is warm

A Place where Love can find a Home

For this is a Place where Mortals seem to Believe

That Love gets Lost

and Love does Leave........

Gypsy has done well with the Primal Diet...

Dear Aajonus,

my name is Gypsy Taub. I am a TV host and media activist in the Bay Area.

First of all, I would like to thank you for saving my life. I read your book on the Big Island of Hawaii when I was told that I most likely had cervical cancer. I refused the invasive diagnostic procedures that were offered do me by the hack doctors that hack your body parts off and call it a cure. They wanted to chop off half of my cervix just to see if I had cancer. So I said: "Thanks, but, no thanks!" Instead I started looking for a natural cure and found your book. I started eating a lot of raw foods and drinking a lot of raw milk. Within months the problem was gone. I can’t thank you enough! I feel that the best thing I can do to express my gratitude is to inform other people about your book.

Needless to say that I was mad to hear about the legislation against raw milk. I am familiar with the CODEX scam that the WTO is pulling on the whole world where they banned vitamins and supplements and made them prescription drugs. I remember how they were taken to court in Europe and lost the case, and since CAFTA was met with enourmous opposition in the US CAFTA was sort of abandoned (as far as I am aware), and CAFTA was supposed to be a tool to implement CODEX. So CODEX was averted for the time being. I am well aware of the conspiracy by the pharmaceutical industry to eradicate alternative medicine especially now when so many people are waking up and choosing alternative medicine.

Raw food lover asking you to get in touch about where to live...

I am summarizing an entry from DD looking for a better life with more abundant raw food.
She is looking for sources of good food including raw dairy products in the area of Miami Florida.
She is considering living in areas that interest her AND have the necessary raw dairy products
(milk, cream, butter, eggs...). This could include Southern Californa, certain communities in Mexico (nearest Puerta Vallarta) or NYC . She would like to hear from anyone who cares to communicate about the above or other locations where the raw food diet, specifically the Primal Diet, can easily be followed. You may contact her directly at deniman@hotmail.com or make comments on this blog.

How can one take part in making raw milk available?

I gave an incorrect link regarding questions about raw milk, the following is being posted: How can we regain our right to choose raw dairy? Simply, we help educate those around us about our need to make raw milk available, and persistently demand from our public officials that we have the freedom to choose the healthy foods that we want and need. Being tenacious will assure that we will probably succeed. When we changed that law in Los Angeles County, every lawyer and politician told us it was against all odds. We were tenacious for 3 years and we succeded where others had failed for 30 years. The key was having the proper information presented simply, articulately and concisely. All of the documents we used to change the laws can be found on this site in chronological order under Resources, Supplemental Report In Favor Of Raw Milk.

Stronger and healthier... on the Primal Diet

Man..... or should I say woman..... you look like you are back among the living now. I am very, very happy to see that. You look stronger and healthier than in a long time. Good pixs. Be sure to put these on your web site and get rid of all of the old ones you have anywhere unless you just want a few as a reminder of where you have come from.

Love you....Pop

It was a delightful experience for me to read "Primal Diet"

I recommended both books to one of my patients and she immediately asked me to order them. It was a delightful experience for me to read "Primal Diet". Rarest occasion: I agreed with each word of the book. I did not speak with Dr. Vonderplanitz yet, but in my thoughts I am immensely grateful to him. Such a powerful weapon!

Giving the Primal Diet credit in arresting the cancer

In this last recent visit September 2007 at the Bio-Medical Center in Mexico, based on the X-Ray, they saw some positive progress!
The medical doctor there explained to me that the X-Ray is not nearly as sensitive a tool as is a cat scan or MRI so it was not possible to see shrinkage in the cancerous tumors on and in the
spine, the competence of the Mexican radiologist notwithstanding. However, they did see a 2 centimeter shrinkage in the biggest of the benign fibroid tumors. For the medical doctor, radiologist and oncologist there, that's a fairly good shrinkage. In their experience this was a possible sign of positive response in that this shrinkage usually goes along with or precedes shrinkage in the actual cancer. That, plus the fact that the blood tests over the last few visits have held steady, and in particular the immunoglobulin levels. These are the rogue white blood cells being generated by the cancerous bone marrow, which don't really defend you like the real ones do. An increase in immunoglobulin levels would show more tumor burden and vice versa. In my case, the immunoglobulin levels have been decreasing ever so slightly over the last few tests.
And the clincher: they want to see me 6 months from now instead of in 3 months, glory hallelujah! They also requested I get a new MRI done just before I go there again, and bring it along, for another comparison with the original. By then, this would make them a year
and a half apart. I will request an MRI at the Los Angeles hospital, and also request to see both MRI's myself along with the oncologist locally, and see what he has to say about them, even before bringing the new one down to Mexico.
By indications so far, I have not really been giving the natural methods I have used, and particularly the primal diet, the credit they apparently so richly deserve, even if only in arresting the cancer. Of course we read about natural miracles in books and hear about them in testimonials (and more testimonials ) but in some sense they have had an unreality for me, and a status almost like "toys", as far as their workability is concerned.
However I continued to use those same testimonials to bolster myself up, the ones that always sound so good when it's happening to someone else. You might chalk up some of my dissenting skepticism perhaps to my parents who always staunchly support the medical establishment, plus my lack of experience with natural remedies in a situation where it really matters. Also I have tended a bit to blot out any losses in the medical field with cancer patients (some of
them very close to me), to say nothing of having been told explicitly that no medical cure is available for people with multiple myeloma. And as the grass is always greener, I even started
playing with the fictitious idea of attributing magical powers to the medical establishment, which they admittedly do not have with all types of cancer. Also, why give myself too much hope and have it prove out to be wrong? So I had a pretty good little thing going between unabashed confidence and the lack of it, meanwhile always following the directions I had, and going for a full and complete return to health, and gearing myself up mentally to make it so!
It should be said that the Biomedical Center gives you dietary guidelines to follow. I went over this with them, but I chose the Primal Diet instead, and—in retrospect—I am Soooooooooooo glad I did. The diet given at the Biomedical Center is primarily grain and veggie based. The Primal Diet (all raw) includes meat and dairy, and is so rich in nutrition, and has felt so rejuvenating. I have been able to stay within the Bio Medical Center's guidelines, in terms of
no white flour/white sugar, processed foods, and other prohibited foods as well. However I felt very lucky to have the best of all possible worlds with the Primal Diet, and I feel that that one
factor is what kept me from reaping the consequences of expanding tumors that I was warned about, within the first 6 months of treatment. They know (and understand) that I am not taking any of the vitamin and mineral supplements they suggested. Congratulations must go to to Aajonus Vonderplanitz for the research that led to the Primal Diet, since my remarkable results are largely a credit to that diet.
I would be terribly remiss not to say that as a Scientologist I was getting spiritual help from my church, mostly through my husband. I feel there is no substitute for a good spiritual approach, for any of us who seek values and triumphs in that way.
So there it is from the horse's mouth.

The cancer is not be spreading - is the raw food diet guiding us through the storm?

The 2nd visit to Mexico last December was a living nightmare. This is where they made the first comparison between what was diagnosed originally in September 2006 and what they were looking at now 3 months later. Whereas in September 2006 I had about 3 liver enzymes
that were somewhat high, in December I had about 8 of them out the roof, so much so that they were concerned either that I also had hepatitis (I understand it's not a great idea to have cancer and hepatitis at the same time), or that the cancer had now metastasized to the liver. In addition the doctor said I was anemic. I had other bad points (who can even remember the litany of test results he rattled off to me) and also I had a full blown kidney/bladder infection. Since they already had a sample of my blood, I gave the go-ahead for a hepatitis panel. The doctor said he'd call me in a few days when the results came back. Then he reiterated the usual disclaimers that this may not go away at all, etc. After a few hours of near retching and near fainting with my knees buckling under me, my husband helped me to make it on the shuttle and back to the hotel north of the border. While I normally don't watch television, in this case it performed its function admirably--a form of "dull-a-bye-baby" even better than the drugs I continued not to take
during that time period. When I woke up the next morning, I could say "it's a new day" and life did just what it does sometimes, by carrying on without me until I stepped on to the playing field once again. The doctor did call from Mexico a few days later to say that I had no hepatitis. An ultra sound done at the local hospital later, revealed no metastasis to the liver, or other internal organs, such as kidney, bladder, spleen, etc. We were still functioning on the good news that the cancer had not spread or gotten bigger in 3 months, so hope was once more on the horizon.
The following March for whatever reason I was once again back in pain and in the wheel chair. The cancer was still not spreading, so I asked "what gives"? My hospital doctor's evaluation after re-examining the original MRI, was that the architecture of the spinal bones was so compromised, that any shift in movement could cause that phenomenon. Their physical therapist at the hospital (all in Los Angeles) gave me some exercises that might help to build
muscle, and warned against sneezing or coughing (or try to do so with support at the back and a pillow in front), as that could precipitate a spinal fracture which would be problematic. He said
this was not theoretical, but that this type of thing had actually happened.
Subsequent visits to Mexico (after that extreme low point in December) were relatively calmer. Liver enzymes went lower, and other things in their tests seemed to be going more toward normal ranges though not by much. In a way, every visit seemed to be much
like the previous ones: all is holding steady, but no positive progress, such as bone regeneration as yet. So I learned to be grateful for the fact that the cancer still wasn't spreading. More
and more, it began to seem like the true miracle that it really and factually was! I came to accept the fact that the doctors at the Bio-Medical center in Mexico would want to see me every 3 months for some time, while they kept looking for "positive progress" without finding any. I learned to accept the fact that it might take a while to reverse the cancer, since after all, these were all natural methods...all this, while I continued eating the primal diet exclusively, and the recommended herbs. I was determined to hold the confidence I had originally in what I was doing, and also in the fact that I felt (after reading approximately 30 books and even more
articles on cancer) that I was partaking in the best treatment possible in this situation--again without getting too exotic with other things that hadn't been statistically proven nor specifically
recommended by either my nutritionist, Aajonus, or the Bio-Medical Center doctors, unless I knew that what I was doing was definitely not working or that more was needed. Also, I felt there was some sense to not flying off in all directions and doing a little of everything, for who knows what benefit. And there is always good sense in putting one's most positive face forward and trying to reassure everyone, as well as reassuring myself.

This part of the story gives the cancer details and initial actions taken.

As soon as I could, I saw Aajonus for an exam and specific diet plan, got my medical records out of the hospital in Los Angeles including the x-rays they took at first, the CT scan and MRI, plus copies of the contents of my medical file, and within a few days my husband and I were off to Mexico to get the herbs.
I will quote some of those medical file reports dated 9/2/06:
"multiple spinal metastases. Unknown primary cancer. There is complete replacement of the sacrum especially the upper portion by a probable neoplastic process. Large fibroid uterus" (this one in the uterus is a benign, meaning a non-malignant tumor) "measuring 8.8 cm in diameter for the dominant fibroid. There is also involvement of various vertebral bodies by this metastatic process. Please see MRI for additional information on vertebral body metastases."
The doctor at the hospital showed me the MRI on his lap-top computer. I didn't know to look for a sacrum that should have been there, but the doctor did point out that same large tumor covering the first 3 lower vertebrae. There were masses, lesions and damage everywhere on the spine. The 2nd largest tumor was at the top of the spine, at the base of the skull. As for the main large non-malignant fibroid, it was oval in shape, and quite large.
In addition to the first visit to Mexico, my husband has taken me back to visit the Bio-Medical Center every 3 months since September of '06. Their usual tests have been blood, urine and X-Rays, in addition to the original X-Ray, cat scan and MRI which I brought with me on my first trip there. I have likewise seen the local hospital oncologist locally every 3 months, usually just before each trip to Mexico. He knows I don't want chemotherapy, since it is known not to have much success with the type of cancer they think I have. (In the absence of a biopsy, I was told that my most likely type of cancer was multiple myeloma). The oncologist said that multiple myeloma could be monitored with blood tests alone, so mercifully I did not have to keep doing more cat scans and MRI's beyond the first ones. The advantage of having the X-rays done in Mexico is that they don't give you a lot of radiation (they give much less than cat scans), and also the radiologist in Mexico is able to see what he needs to see from these, namely spread or shrinkage, indications of new bone growing
etc. By the way, the Bio-Medical Center is not your "mom and pop" herb shop--they have medical doctors, a radiologist and oncologist, and lab technicians, and the full support staff that they need.
In that first visit to Mexico, the medical doctor there advised me to get radiation on the lower tumor, so it wouldn't expand any further. That one expanding could have resulted in loss of bladder control, bowel control and the function of the left leg entirely. I was told that the herbs might not be of help right away because it usually takes 3-6 months for them to level in the blood stream to be able to have any effect on the tumor. I had already partially lost bladder control, and my head had developed an involuntary "shake" that was perceptible to me but not to others, so what the doctor said was not out of line as far as I could see. Also, the MRI showed
the cancer in the bone marrow, with the spinal nerves nearby or next in the line of attack, so to say. Back at home, Aajonus, based on his experience with himself and others, thought that radiation was not a good idea. Plus the local hospital doctors wouldn't order radiation (or any treatment) without a biopsy, so there I was between the proverbial rock and the hard place. If ever I wanted to go in to training to develop what might remotely resemble a few
nerves of steel, now was the time...
I did not get any radiation. I continued with the primal diet and I started taking the herbs, and continued with life, seeing family and friends, writing poetry and (oh my gosh) trying to figure out our taxes. None of the bad consequences ever materialized. Around October through December I was developing more mobility, and was feeling much better than I expected (the diet being especially rejuvenating). I could walk, drive the car, and care for myself mostly. With the bold confidence of the truly naive, at that point I even figured the cancer would be gone in a few months, no problem.

A cancer survivor in-the-making gives us her story

This was sent to me by Barbara - the same lady whose photo was taken as she strangles the cancer monstor, at the bottom of the home page of www.wewant2live.com. It is being presented in four parts.

First let me give the usual and appropriate disclaimers that I am not qualified to give medical advice of any sort.

Anyone with diagnosed cancer should seek competent medical help or as they so choose.

What I am relaying is my own story only. It goes without saying that it is up to anyone with an illness to become informed, ask any questions and make the best choices for him or herself. There are resources available for information and help, a few of which are known to me. If my story gives any hope or incentive to another person with cancer, then it will have been worthwhile to assemble what's written here, with much personal information about myself, and send it along to you.

Also nothing I am saying should be construed to mean that I am against all medical treatment for all situations, because that would not be true. A combination of two circumstances namely, no medical cure in sight for what I had, and my inclination to favor natural treatments first, steered me in the direction of choosing the holistic route as the sole source of treatment for myself at the outset. I figured if medical treatment options came along later that might prove successful, I could always use them in addition to, or instead of what I was doing. And I continued paying monthly health insurance premiums, since I knew I might need doctors and other hospital/medical resources, come what may.

During the Labor Day weekend of 2006, I was told at a hospital in Los Angeles, that the reason I couldn't walk was because I had advanced spinal cancer. This was after an MRI and CT scan were done. The doctor told me that the cancer had most likely metastasized (spread) from some primary source, but they did not know from where, since these same tests showed that the internal organs were apparently "clean". Since it was Labor Day and they had a skeleton crew, I was sent home to call in and schedule a biopsy, so that they could take a tissue sample and determine the primary source. I was also told to schedule radiation--not that this would cure me, but it could possibly cause the largest tumor at the base of the spine to shrink some. The first thing I did after I was gotten home (with the help of crutches and a walker), was to get internet data on biopsies. According to what I read, the risk of causing the cancer to spread by dragging known malignant tissue from the spine through the body, was not worth knowing what the primary source of the cancer was, without exhausting other methods first.

I then called a nutritionist Aajonus Vonderplanitz as he was already familiar to me. He had dealt with cancer patients, including his own situation which was over 30 years earlier. I had seen Aajonus about 6-7 years earlier. I went on the primal diet then for a year, and had a big resurgence in health, since I was finally able to handle insomnia and get good sleep and heal. Then I figured I didn't need it anymore since I was now "healthy", so I went off the primal diet--big mistake. In our Sept 06 visit, Aajonus agreed with my internet research that doing a biopsy first might not be advisable, plus it might not be necessary in order to start treatment. I know that holistic practitioners tend to view cancer as a whole body disease, as opposed to a disease of one or more particular organs. There is certainly no harm in starting to treat the whole body. He then proceeded to give me a diet plan to follow of all raw foods, at least until I could see him for some non-invasive testing called iridology, which is an examination of the irises of both eyes. He also recommended certain herbs that were non-toxic, and told me where in Mexico I could get these herbal preparations. The main herbal tonic is based on Harry Hoxsey's formula, and the clinic is called the Bio-Medical Center. It is located in Tijuana.
