During the year 1997, two important books came out having to do with halting or slowing the aging process. These two books were written for two completely different sets of people and take two completely different approaches to the subject.
"Grow Young With HGH" by Dr. Ronald Klatz deals with anti-aging exclusively. It is a very detailed work, giving a huge amount of simply stated descriptions of the various factors in reversing the aging process, with references to research. By the end of his book, he predicts by 2002 the average life span would be 85 years old. (I think he meant in the USA.) He predicts by 2007 the average age span would be over 100 years old.
The growth hormone enhancement program detailed in Dr. Ron Klatz' book is aimed at individuals who can & would pay the costs of the HGH therapy. The therapy recommended in his book had the cost of about $10,000 - $18,000 per year in 1997 dollars.
We have fallen short of his life expectancy expectations, particularly in the USA. Could it have anything to do with the food we eat?
At the other end of the spectrum, also in 1997, a book came out by an author known at the time by only those who had come into contact with him personally. This book is "We Want To Live: the Primal Diet," by Dr. Aajonus Vonderplanitz. With this book, evolved a 'grass roots' movement which really started at the time the author - who had himself been through standard medical treatments for cancer in his 20's, then "sent home to die" - brought himself not only back to life, but to increased, vibrant health. (Dr. Vonderplanitz, PhD Nutrition is now 62 years old, having outlived his death sentence by 40 years.)
This book is written in two parts; the first part "Out of the Grips of Disease and Death" is the story of rebuilding the health of his son through raw foods, (after his son's near fatal accident where he was not expected to live the night...). [The first five chapters are free on the site; click here.] The second volume within the same book, is "Healthfully, the facts" in which the author details what happens when foods are cooked or processed, and then covers the anticipated benefits of a balanced raw diet. There are specifics about particular foods, proper preparation of food, as well as remedies for specific physical conditions, and also some opinions (labeled as such) about current medical methodologies.
"We Want To Live: the Primal Diet" was flanked by "The Recipe for Living Without Disease" in 2002, giving much practical information about how to prepare dishes, as well as complementing several points that had been opened in his first book, to say nothing of the many recipes in there that give variety to the consumption of raw foods--making them anything but monotonous!
The reason Dr. Aajonus Vonderplanitz' books are mentioned on the same page as the work of Dr. Klatz is because both authors deal with anti aging. Dr. Vonderplanitz' results are attained through a balanced regimen of raw foods and without any supplements. Both are worth reading by anyone interested in the benefits of anti-aging.

Last week, Lancaster Farming and a number of other papers ran an excellent article, Raw Milk Debate Spills into Capitols and Courts by Michael Crumb, who covers Agriculture for the Associated Press an influential news wire service.
The article states:
Lawmakers in seven states — Georgia, Iowa, Missouri, New Jersey, North Dakota, Wisconsin and Wyoming — have introduced measures this year seeking to change laws governing raw milk. The Falls Church, Va.- based Farmer to Consumer Legal Defense Fund also has filed lawsuits in California, Iowa, Missouri, New York and Wisconsin challenging various aspects of states’ laws regarding raw milk.
I spoke to Pete Kennedy, President of the Farm-to-Consumer Legal Defense Fund (FTCLDF) over the weekend about Wisconsin, in particular. Ever since learning of Scott Trautman’s troubles (click on this link to see a video that will make you cry) with the state regulators, I have been concerned about what is going on there, in particular. I learned from Pete that Wisconsin, by far, has more dairy farms than any other state. And, what happens in Wisconsin, may not stay in Wisconsin, as Pete says “it is a bellwether state” for the work of his FTCLDF around the country.
Me, I am calling it ground zero. An explosion of interest in the raw milk issue has taken place, largely because of what is happening to farmers at the hands of Wisconsin bureaucrats. More citizens are starting to question the merits of outdated laws that would keep them from accessing a wholesome food product, especially when the product comes from your own cow.
Many of you are aware that a landmark decision on cow share programs was just rendered by a justice of the peace in Canada, and we need similar rulings and/or legislation in America.
DATCP last fall began a series of “enforcement actions” against a number of small farms it suspected of having cow boarding programs or “incidental” sales of raw milk (they interpret incidental to mean more than once to the same person–very strict, indeed). Their dragnet includes demanding business records from Max Kane, a raw dairy activist, Pepin County Family Farm, among others.
Pete Kennedy, Esq. of the Farm to Consumer Legal Defense Fund has this to say:
DATCP’s position is that if a dairy is unlicensed, milk produced at the dairy cannot leave the farm. This is in conflict with other Wisconsin law that recognizes the right of owners of dairy animals to board those animals on someone else’s property. The agency does not regulate those owning and boarding their own dairy animals to consume raw milk produced by those animals; however, DATCP is claiming that it is illegal for someone who owns a cow and boards the cow on another’s property to obtain raw milk from the cow. This is the agency’s position whether or not the dairy boarding the cow is licensed.
Here is what the one of the Wisconsin politician’s has to say about the compliance “climate” in his state:
“This extremely detailed request for information from DATCP seems over the top and overly burdensome. As a former police officer, I understand the need to enforce existing laws on the books, but this request seems more like harassment than an effort to enforce existing law.”
I spoke with Max Kane this morning. He says of the 15,000 dairy farms in his state, only 18 are being targeted by DATCP for suspected raw dealings. He added that the majority of dairy farms in Wisconsin are smaller farms, not factories, with 20, 50, 100 cows. Kane believes that because they are doing traditional dairying, 80-90% of dairy farmers in the state drink their milk raw.
Max pointed out that even if 100 dairy farms in the state were doing a raw milk cow share, they would still represent an insignificant percentage of the overall dairy market.
What You Can Do to Help
A bill that will legalize the sale of raw milk and raw milk products has been introduced in both the Wisconsin General Assembly (AB 628) and the Senate (SB 434).
On March 10, the concerned public is invited to testify before the General Assembly House and Senate committees currently considering raw milk legislation to protect consumer access to the milk of their choosing. Details can be found on Kathryn Pirtle’s blog. Please, if you care about freedom of choice, free trade, and free enterprise, make every effort to be there. If you are a Wisconsin resident and unable to make it, please write a letter to your legislators asking for their support for this bill.
Max Kane told me that the bill is a good bill which would allow Grade A dairy’s to offer raw milk, as long as they have a sign which has the disclaimer: “raw milk doesn’t offer the protection of pasteurization”. Kane would like to see the bill come out of committee, unchanged, for a floor vote.
If you are on facebook, please fan the Wisconsin Alliance for Raw Milk (WARM). You will be able to register your attendance at the public hearing on the event listing on the WARM facebook page. Since registration is not required, and many attendees are not on facebook, we do not expect this tally to accurately reflect turnout at the public hearing.
Kimberly Hartke is the publicist for the Weston A. Price Foundation, and their Campaign for Real Milk. She is a cowshare owner in the state of Virginia, and thanks her state regulators for supporting and helping her farmer establish a state approved herd share program. Raw milk and other dietary and lifestyle changes have helped her overcome a debilitating knee condition and resume a pain free life.
I have benefited so much from the Primal Diet that I want others to know that this diet is a live alternative to the Standard American Diet and to vegan and vegetarian approaches. Thus I started this blog and the www.wewant2live.com website.
