A NEW AMERICA-THE NOT-SO GREAT SOCIETY
VIOLENCE
AND RAGE
Every
sip of milk contains 59 different bioactive
hormones according to endocrinologist Clark
Grosvenor who published a list of those
hormones in the Journal of Endocrine Reviews,
Vol. 14, No. 6, 1992. That same list
can be found on the NOTMILK homepage
(http://www.notmilk.com) or on page 238 of MILK
- The Deadly
Poison. Imagine taking
59 different hormone pills every morning,
afternoon and evening! Start with
testosterone, the hormone responsible for
aggressive male behavior. Then add a
bit of adrenaline. Sprinkle in some
estrogen and progesterone. Imagine the
devastation that is created in your body by
the cumulative effect of taking those
powerful drugs? What is the gross
effect on the total behavior of a society, so
dosed? One hundred and seventy-seven
pills containing hypothalamic hormones and
gastrointestinal peptides. Growth
hormones and sexual steroids and various
pituitary hormones.
Aaaaaagggghhh! As we drink more and
more milk and increase the amount of
genetically engineered milk and cheese and
ice cream products containing increased
levels of naturally occurring milk hormones,
we most certainly have influenced the
way we act as a society.
In
May of 1995, a doctor's newsletter written by
doctors for doctors listed 11 different
symptoms caused by milk and dairy
products. The Townsend Medical
Newsletter (page 259 of MILK-The
Deadly Poison)
included among those symptoms, irritability,
depression and mood swings. Do you want
to have your disposition include
irritability, mood swings and
depression? Do you want your children
and an entire school of children to suffer
such behavioral changes? Consider what
happens to an entire society of which the
average citizen includes milk and dairy
products as 40% of his diet.
Every
week there seems to be a news story about
deviant behaviors exhibited by the youth of
America. One day we watch the gory
details of a shooting in a school by two
ten-year-olds and the next day we read about
a rape of a seven-year-old girl by a group of
eight-year-old boys. Road rage is a
phenomena that has become a common part of
the motoring experience, and we've all
episodes of middle fingers, screaming
adversaries, flashing bright lights at night
or cars tailgating or veering just a little
too close cutting us off intentionally.
Continue to drink your milk and eat your
cheese and butter and ice cream, which
contains a mixed brew of hormones.
These hormones work!
PASTEURIZATION
DOES NOT WORK
Previous
columns
(http://www.notmilk.com/deb/062898.html
and
http://www.notmilk.com/deb/080998.html)
document the fact of life known to our
regulators at FDA and USDA: Pasteurization
does not work! Each liter of milk
(about a quart) is still permitted to contain
20,000 live bacterial cells, even after heat
treatment. That count includes
salmonella and E. coli and mycobacterium
paratuberculosis. Now there is another
bacterial scare among dairy farmers,
clostridium. Body fluids from Cows
sometime contain rod-shaped bacteria that
form spores (spore is a Greek word for seed)
at the first sign of heat, so that when milk
is pasteurized the bacteria survive and when
the milk cools the bacteria re-emerges and
grows. These bacteria locate and find a
home in muscle tissue causing painful lesions
in dairy cows. The diaphragm is a
favorite "feeding place."
Imagine that twinge in your chest...phantom
pain? Your doctor might tell you that
it's all in your head. You continue
drinking body fluids from diseased
animals. I find it pathetic to think of
our Secretary of the Department of Health and
Human Services posing for a milkstache
ad. Applied to her upper lip is a
creamy layer of mucous and pus containing
live bacteria. What a message for
Americans! Go to:

Alphabeticals
I
am often asked what diseases have been linked
to dairy and milk consumption. While I
personally have not conducted the actual
research, I have interviewed doctors and
scientists and have gathered hundreds of
journal articles representing hundreds of
millions of dollars worth of research and
published in leading medical journals that
tell an overwhelming and sad story.
Together, the scientific literature points a
finger supporting the conclusion that milk
and dairy products are the major cause for
disease in our society. Milk and dairy
products represent nearly forty percent of
what the average American eats, making for a
very lopsided food pyramid (see
http://www.notmilk.com/pyramid.html).
A review of the scientific literature reveals
publications suggesting that milk components,
including allergenic proteins and milk
hormones, are responsible for the following:
A =
Asthma
& Allergies (see casein)
B = Breast
Cancer
(see IGF-1)
C = Constipation
(see
casein and lactose)
D = Digestive
Problems
(see buffering effect on acidity)
E = Eczema (see allergenic bovine
proteins)
F = Fat
people
(see powerful growth hormones)
G = Growth (see powerful sexual
hormones and early sexual maturity)
H = Heart
Disease
(see cholesterol and animal fats)
I = Immunodeficiency
virus
(see components of cow's milk)
J = Juvenile
diabetes
(see lactalbumin)
K = Killer
bacteria
(see salmonella & E. coli)
L = Leukemia (see Monsanto's Richard,
Odaglia and Deslex study)
M = Mastitis (see blood, pus and
bacteria in milk)
N = Nasal
Congestion (see
mucous from casein)
O = Osteoporosis (see protein inhibits
calcium absorption)
P = Pediatric
diseases
(see allergies to bovine proteins)
Q = Quixote-syndrome (see the notmilkman)
R = Rat
cancers and leukemias (see FDA's research)
S = Sudden
Infant Death
(see bovine proteins; LANCET publications)
T = Tuberculosis (see mycobacterium
paratuberculosis)
U = Uterine
cancer (see
IGF-1)
V = Vitamin
deficiency
(see artificial milk Vitamin D-3 in not absorbed)
W = Wiscowsinitis (see the dreaded
cheesehead-syndrome)
X = Xanthene
Oxidase
(see Oster & Ross - missing link to
heart disease)
Y = Yin/Yang
imbalance
(see the effect of 59 hormones and 100 allergins)
Z = Zits (see the 59 different
bioactive hormones in milk)
