Farmer cleared of 'raw milk' charges

Court gives consumers access to unpasteurized products
Posted: January 21, 2010 8:16 pm Eastern © 2010 WorldNetDaily
Natural foods advocates are claiming a victory today after a court ruling cleared a dairy farmer of a string of charges he faced because of the raw milk he sold to members of a cow-sharing consortium.

According to natural foods blogger Kimberly Hartke, Michael Schmidt was found not guilty in a verdict that took a judge more than two hours to read.

The judge "found that Michael had done his due diligence, developed a proper contract, and that everyone was informed," Hartke reported. "The judge went on to say that Michael met a need for the people."

The case against the Ontario, Canada, dairy farmer hearkens back to similar disputes in the U.S. over the same issue.

WND previously reported when Mennonite farmer Mark Nolt of Maryland had his farm raided by SWAT-type agents and was fined more than $4,000 and had his equipment confiscated for providing raw – or unpasteurized – milk to participants in his program.

In the Ontario case, the ruling from the Newmarket justice of the peace found the cow-sharing operation Schmidt runs out of his Durham farm does not violate milk-marketing and public-health regulations.

The ruling concluded a three-year war over his business and means his milk legally can be distributed to consumers who have purchased "cow shares" in exchange for access to the milk.

Drinking raw milk in Canada is not banned, but other laws require pasteurization on most commercial milk products. According to a report in the Globe and Mail, 10 U.S. states – including California, Maine, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and New Mexico – allow licensed farmers to sell raw milk with a warning label at grocery stores.

In other states, like Canadian provinces with tighter restrictions, consumers often participate in a "cow-sharing" or some other arrangement to gain access to such products...

Cancer answer to person new to Primal Diet

A gentleman in the Netherlands wrote to Aajonus:
"I've recently bought your latest book and I am pretty happy with that investment. I've been researching diets for many years now and of course a lot of contradicting facts will emerge then, usually I can distill the truth by myself but this time I was hoping you could perhaps elaborate on one of those widespread contradictions. Namely the famous "Gerson diet/therapy". I was hoping you could elaborate on that subject a little and free me of my confusion.. Or why they might both be successful? ... I hope this won't just clear up my confusion but can help everyone else in need who has concern about this.
Thank you very much for your work and time, all the best, P.C."

In my book The Recipe For Living Without Disease, I discuss therapies and their effectiveness, how to distinguish between independent disease-reversals attributed to therapies rather than cyclic phase of the body and therapies that truly help bodies reverse disease.
healthfully,
aajonus

As I was not sure how rapidly Aajonus would be able to respond, I asked my wife Barbara if she had anything to say to this gentleman. Here is what she said:
As fate would have it, I myself am a cancer patient (diagnosed over three years ago with advanced spinal cancer after MRI), and so I have done much research on different alternative cancer therapies, including having read the whole Max Gerson book on the subject. That is no small feat for a layman like myself to read the erudite writings of a German scientist.

It is true that most alternative therapies have their record of successes. I myself chose the Primal Diet. I saw Aajonus Vonderplanitz, who gave me a tailored diet that is based on the basic Primal Diet, which is the subject of both his books: We Want To Live, and The Recipe For Living Without Disease.

To say that I am a nutritional miracle of the Primal Diet, would be an understatement. Dr. Vonderplanitz did also recommend some additional herbs etc., since my type of cancer is very aggressive, and is considered fatal by the medical community. Especially since the cancer was everywhere on the spine and was very far-gone by the time I started the Primal Diet. (I was told by my oncologist that there is no cure for this, and chemo wouldn't cure me, but just "manage my symptoms" to which I replied, 'no thanks'. So I have had no medical therapy at all, not even a biopsy.)

It is the case that Gerson did recommend the juice of raw liver in addition to his mostly fruits/veggies/grains diet, though I believe that he withdrew that recommendation, after discovering the toxic condition of the livers of most animals. He also recommended a Lugol solution, which if memory serves me, is either iron or iodine.

For me, having raw meats, fish and chicken (and oysters and scallops) and also raw liver, does supply me with a good quantity of the vitamins, minerals and enzymes available with these meats. In addition, I find the raw milk and other raw fats to be very nourishing and calming.

Please note that I am not a nutritionist, and so I can only relay my own experiences. I am not qualified to give any other information or advice of any kind. So I hope that answers at least some of your questions. For other questions, please see the two books of Dr. Vonderplanitz, and look in the index for his ideas about cancer, and how to handle that disease.

Sincerely, Barbara Ellingson

Note from webmaster: Aajonus' book We Want To Live: the Primal Diet contains several pages about cancer.

Pro bodybuilder credits the raw food diet...

Randy Roach has long been a proponent of the Primal Diet (click here for more info). He is the author of the only definitive encyclopedic history of bodybuilding in Volume I & Volume II of Muscle, Smoke & Mirrors - Bodybuilding... (look at his site if you like).
The Pro Bodybuilder Joshua Trentine has recently trained with Randy and proclaims the benefits of the raw food diet in this spectacular radio interview with Carl Lenore on SuperHuman Radio. I give you the link FYI to see this aspect of the gains available on the Primal Diet. I invite comments.

Sources of good raw food: organic vegetables for less

On the www.WeWant2Live.com site, there is a page about the global search for good food. View it here. Finding good food is not easy in many parts of the world. Based on this, I did a bit of research and found a surprising source of organic vegetables for less.
How do I afford organic vegetables? Click here at www.organicfoodforless.info for the answer. I am all for the raw food diet - I LOVE it -
however I have to find ways to cut my expenses. I don't want to cut out organic vegetables because first of all I can taste the difference BIG-TIME and secondly I have been warned about what pesticides, insecticides and herbicides do to my health when I ingest them with my food.

I have also been warned about the looming threat of genetically modified food because I live in the USA where agro-business has a giant foothold. A company starting with M and ending with o (3 syllables) is a whole other subject messing with our future; their reach is global, affecting food all over the planet except in rare places where this gets exposed and defeated at least temporarily (click here to see a good example).

Why am I ranting unless I can do something about it? Answer: I CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT and SO CAN YOU! Aajonus has encouraged us all to get a farm. I have found a giant step towards this at very low cost to get
started. I am getting started to learn how to grow an organic vegetable garden and I invite you to do so as well. We can blog about it once we get it going but for now listen to what Jonathan has to say, view his guaranty and give it a shot. The cost is SO minimal compared to what this can do for you.
