Raw Milk is Our Heritage and Right..

One of the founders of the Mayo Foundation, J. E. Crewe, MD, a forerunner of the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, published an article entitled “Raw Milk Cures Many Diseases.” In it he notes,

“For fifteen years the writer has employed the certified milk treatment in various diseases and during the past ten he had a small sanitarium devoted principally to this treatment.

The results obtained in various types of disease have been so uniformly excellent that one’s conception of disease and its alleviation is necessarily changed.”

Raw milk was used so often as a solution to common illnesses that when scurvy surfaced among pasteurized milk drinkers, Dr.Alfred Hess wrote in the "Journal of Diseases in Children",

“Pasteurized milk gradually induces infantile scurvy, unless antiscorbutic diet is given in addition. This disorder quickly yielded to the substitution of raw for pasteurized milk.”

Congratulations on Doing Your Homework

The Raw Milk Association of Colorado (RMAC) is an association of raw milk producers and consumers who advocate for the traditional availability of raw milk products and seek to ensure a safe supply.

The fact that you are reading this material means that you are open to learning. It would be much easier just to listen to whatever the government says about raw milk. But then we consider that the past 50 years of government health recommendations have produced a nation of sick, obese and depressed people .

We will tell you what we have learned about raw milk. It will be a "real-world" education from farmers and doctors and people who are looking for good health.

We Know the Risks ...

We are not deluded day-dreamers pining for the sentimental things of the past . We simply want to exercise our constitutional right to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." It's the "life" part that we are focused on at present, because nutrient dense foods are essential to a healthy life. And there are few foods as nutritional and rewarding as a glass of cold, fresh unadulterated milk.
