How do we know: "Milk is healthy"?
Do we really know from our own experience that milk has the aforementioned beneficial effects? For example, did you ever suffer from severe tooth decay, drank increased amounts of milk for several weeks, and then the tooth decay promptly disappeared? Do you know anyone who lived with the diagnosis of osteoporosis (brittle bones), consumed liters of milk and large quantities of dairy products thanks to their doctor's recommendations, and is now cured of osteoporosis?
Do you know a child who did not receive cow's milk to drink and consequently remained small and underdeveloped? Most people who have cavities, as well as those who live with osteoporosis, drink milk and still continue to have cavities and osteoporosis.And children who do not receive cow's milk are often even healthier than their milk-drinking peers. So we only know from the press, radio, and television – and of course based on the advice of doctors – that milk is supposed to be healthy. But is that really true?
What is the purpose of milk?
If you answer this question, you will immediately know whether milk can be healthy or necessary for you or for any other person (whether child or adult) at all. Cow's milk is produced in the udder of the cow so that it can nourish its calf until it can independently feed on grass and herbs. Goat's milk is produced in the udder of the mother goat so that she can nourish her kid until it can eat leaves and twigs. Dog's milk is produced in the teats of the female dog so that she can nourish her puppies until they have teeth to chew meat and bones.Human milk is produced in a woman's breast so that she can nourish her baby until it is capable of eating fruits and vegetables on its own. Milk is therefore baby food and is always passed on in nature only from the mother to her own children – and only for as long as they are physically developed enough to eat adult food. So why should cow's milk have any significance for us humans? At this point, I could actually conclude the article, as everything essential has been said. However, to eliminate any doubts on this matter, I would like to address every detail, every "Yes, but..."It is high time that humanity is brought out of this illusion – namely that cow baby food is needed to avoid getting sick – and that cows are left in peace in the future!Role Model Nature
- There is no animal that – once it is grown – continues to drink milk from its mother. Nor is there any animal that (once it is grown) drinks milk from mothers of another species, z.B.dercow.
- No animal mother has yet been observed in nature feeding her young – after she no longer nurses them – with the milk of a mother of another animal species. For example, fox teenagers do not receive milk from their fox mother from a doe. They receive regurgitated mice and stolen geese from their mother.Juvenile voles drink – after they have been "weaned" – no hedgehog milk to obtain sufficient calcium or protein. They eat – as soon as they have teeth – roots, tubers, seeds, and occasionally a worm. Nevertheless, no animal mother worries that her young might become ill if they do not receive deer or hedgehog milk to drink.
- Animal young grow up very healthily in the wild, have no decayed teeth, and also no rubbery or porous bones. Osteoporosis or a similar deficiency disease has never been observed in wild animals. Therefore, animals do not suffer from any obvious calcium or protein deficiency, even though they no longer drink milk after surpassing infancy. In contrast, human children almost always receive the milk of an animal or products derived from it – mostly still in the first year of life. And these human children are rarely very healthy – not to mention the health condition of most adult humans.
Warning signals of the body:
- Milk is such an incredibly foreign food for humans that the organism resists it more than it does with almost any other "food."The symptoms that most commonly appear immediately after the consumption of dairy products but are not always associated with it are (in children and adults):
- runny and blocked nose
- nausea and headaches
- diarrhea and abdominal cramps
- various skinrashes
Animal mothers provide their children – as soon as they have teeth – species-appropriate food. They never come home with a bottle of milk from another animal species. Wild animal young do not suffer from chronic rhinitis, middle ear infections, or neurodermatitis. Human children, on the other hand, do.
Chronic bronchitis, sinusitis, psoriasis, and various intestinal disorders have long been part of everyday life for civilized humans – just like milk. Furthermore, milk is a contributing factor to cataracts (clouding of the lens), diabetes, migraines, asthma, anemia, arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), and thus heart diseases.All of this is not the fault of milk. Sugar, grain products, many other industrially processed and therefore denatured products, as well as the lack of living, natural food, also contribute to the currently common regrettable health condition of many people.HOW DOES ANIMAL MILK AFFECT THE HUMAN BODY?
1. The Milk Protein
Cow's milk contains 3.5 percent protein, allowing a calf to double its weight in just 45 days. Human breast milk has a protein content of only 1.8 percent. This is sufficient for a being that takes about 21 years to reach maturity. For babies and children – who are still growing and actually need a lot of protein – the protein content of cow's milk is therefore already far too high.An adult, however, typically does not grow much anymore and consequently requires even less protein than an infant, who apparently manages with 1.8 percent. Why should an adult suddenly – by drinking milk or consuming dairy products – increase their protein intake to 3.5 percent, when they hardly need any material for building a body? Or do they want to double their weight in 45 days – like a calf does? Milk contains five proteins, one of which is called casein. In the case of cow's milk casein, it is a thick, sticky substance from which an adhesive for wood can be made. If you wanted to process this casein in your digestive system in any way, you would have no choice but to have the four-stomach system of a calf implanted.Then it should be possible without any issues (only you should consider that as a calf, you can hardly digest anything other than milk, so your diet would be somewhat limited, and furthermore – provided the milk you consume is pasteurized, homogenized, or otherwise treated – it is well known that you would die after no more than six months). In the stomach wall of the calf, large amounts of rennin are produced, a substance that can easily digest the amount of casein protein present in cow's milk. Human babies produce rennin, as their mothers' milk contains relatively little casein. However, adult humans no longer produce any rennin, and casein cannot be converted into body protein by them at all. Furthermore, the casein of each animal species is a different casein, as proteins are always species-specific.The casein in human breast milk has a different structure than that of cow's milk. The casein in sheep's milk differs from that in goat's milk just as it does from that in guinea pig or mare's milk. Therefore, there is not only a quantitative problem with cow casein but also a qualitative one.Milk allergy?
This is the reason why so many people today have so-called "milk allergies." Their body reacts completely correctly by informing them: “This is a foreign animal protein. I don't want that!” But what is a milk allergy? "Allergy" traditionally means that the body's immune system behaves abnormally and suddenly attacks completely "natural things" like milk. However, in reality, the immune system behaves very normally.It makes today's, obviously somewhat slow-witted person aware that he is a human being and not a calf - and if he already has teeth in his jaw, that he should not resort to baby food, as nature's plan has other things in store for him at this life stage (those that can be chewed with teeth!). So, by nature, everyone is actually to be referred to as a "cow's milk allergy sufferer" (except for a calf) - whether he suffers from any symptoms or not. Not having symptoms merely means that the "barrel" has not yet overflowed and the body is still diligently storing milk residues or still has enough power to mostly excrete them. The former continues until the storage capacities are exhausted.When the "barrel" is full, symptoms appear – not necessarily in the form of an allergy, but in the form of diseases that have become so "normal," common, and widespread that they are referred to as "civilization diseases." Conclusion: Humans (or animals) do not tolerate milk from another species. Simply because no one, except for the calf, has four legs and can fluently say "moo." The true tragedy, however, begins now, as it is generally considered pathological today not to be able to "tolerate" milk. Those affected by a "milk allergy" feel their quality of life is significantly impaired because they can no longer eat and drink everything as they used to. Therefore, the treating physician, with the patient's consent, will do everything possible to ensure that the person can soon tolerate milk and its products again.The practitioner or doctor is considered successful if they understand how to manipulate the patient's body in such a way that it no longer shows negative reactions to milk consumption. Such a body has been subdued with cunning and trickery.From the medical side, very few complaints are referred to a possible anti-milk reaction as a (co-)cause. On the contrary, together with dieticians and nutrition experts, doctors seem to do everything in their power to keep their patients in line, meaning they encourage them to consume plenty of milk using the usual fear and panic tactics, as otherwise, terrible diseases threaten. Cow's milk is the number one mucus producer among all foods! Casein turns into thick, sticky mucus in the human body, which clogs and irritates the entire respiratory and digestive system.
A smooth functioning of the body system (food intake, nutrient utilization, excretion of excess) is hindered by milk. But why does milk turn into mucus in the human body at all? Whenever foreign bodies enter the organism, the body produces mucus in the nose, in the bronchi, or in the digestive system. The mucus surrounds the foreign bodies and thus makes them harmless for the time being. Now the juices from the pancreas can dissolve the foreign bodies surrounded by mucus. Milk or its components, such as casein, are such foreign bodies. However, the average person does not just eat a piece of cheese once a week and otherwise only consumes fruits and vegetables, but constantly takes in dairy products and other "things" that their organism classifies as foreign bodies, which completely overwhelms the body's excretion system.The mucus is no longer dissolved and excreted, but stored within the body. However, no living organism can maintain this for long, and sooner or later, symptoms of illness appear. In addition to its protein, which is indigestible for humans, milk contains a type of sugar known as milk sugar or lactose . Officially, 10% of Germans (and 99% of the rest of the world as well) suffer from milk intolerance, also known as lactose intolerance. The small intestine of these individuals lacks the digestive enzyme necessary for the breakdown of lactose, called lactase. The consumption of any dairy product therefore leads to acute discomfort in these cases, manifesting as abdominal pain, diarrhea, bloating, and vomiting.If children receive dairy products despite lactose intolerance, physical developmental disorders are almost pre-programmed, as the child's digestive system is so severely affected that it can no longer absorb the necessary amount of nutrients from food to support the growing organism. The digestive system is even damaged to the extent that these children lose 30 percent more blood than usual through the intestines and consequently suffer from severe iron deficiency. In such cases, iron supplements are no longer helpful; only a consistent elimination of milk can help. Notably, the term lactose intolerance is hardly treated differently than that of milk allergy, namely as if it were a kind of pitiable disability.It can be assumed that those people who suffer from food allergies (and/or lactose intolerance) live in particularly healthy bodies. Only a body can react vigorously and unequivocally to show: "I don't want that!" In reality, every person has the enzyme lactase during the first three years of life to digest their mother's milk! After that, the enzyme disappears because nature assumed that humans now have teeth and an appropriate gut flora for solid food. It could not have foreseen that a part of humanity would suddenly insist on remaining in an infantile state permanently.
In Japan, it was found that children with Type 1 diabetes came from families with a Western influence, where, contrary to traditional dietary habits, milk and dairy products were also consumed. It was already sufficient if the nursing mother drank milk – and her baby became a diabetic.
Summary:
We do not need to drink cow's baby food or eat products made from it, neither as children nor as adults, to obtain calcium or other vital substances. Make it clear once and for all that our survival does not depend on the milk of a large ruminant. On the contrary: milk consumption has disadvantages, not only for one's own health but also for that of the planet. Livestock farming is, from both an ethical and ecological perspective, a complete disaster.
Whoever tries to convince you to consume milk and dairy products is likely either a profit-sharing member of a dairy processing corporation or – like a large part of the local population – has fallen heavily for the dairy industry and its advertisements.Milk has no place in our diet, and as soon as it is avoided, overall well-being improves immediately and noticeably. Give it a try.
