Ellis and how he says "milk products are harmful to many people" and that "Milk also causes allergies". He does however seem to be referring to homogenized milk as best I can tell....? Weston A price would probably say the same. They claim pasteurized and homogenized milk changes the proteins and chemical makeup of milk rendering it not-very-healthy. So, did Dr. Christopher's studies involve raw milk or just homogenized or pasteurized milk? The Weston A. Price foundation has done many studies on tests and research such as Vitamin A and D. The government came out long ago and said too much Vitamin A was bad and toxic for the body but what Weston A. Price brought to light was that the test was done with synthetic Vitamin A and not natural. I am left to wonder if either The Weston A. Price or Dr. Chrisopher group has left out a component in there testing...? I did notice the research done by Dr. William E.

Price and talked often with one of their Chapter leaders. They would definitely agree with eating whole foods in there natural state but they have there own food pyramid and raw butter and milk are at the top. They say there is tons of healthy and nutritious bacteria and vitamins in Raw milk and butter. Dr. Mary Enig, PHD and Sally Fallon, and a host of others have done extensive work and research on the nutritional value of raw milk and butter. I'd be very curious to know if any of Dr. Christopher's people have researched into that or vice-versa. Have the Weston A. Price people researched, being unbiased, into Dr. Christopher's Mucusless diet. Does anyone have info on that. This is very interesting– I’ve studied quite a bit about Weston A.

The researchers were able to isolate things such smoking and exercise out and isolated red-meat eating as a major factor in these diseases. Meat can certainly be part of a healthy diet if it is eaten as a side dish and not the main item on the plate (if, like you said, the meat is from healthy animals that are fed natural diets, etc.). While we certainly respect your opinion on milk, the School of Natural Healing and Dr. Christopher taught that all animals except humans become weaned and never go back to milk. Our goal is to educate people and empower them to make their own decisions about health - Elena,

One must remember that most of these meats (restaurant or pre-made frozen patties, hot dogs, bacon, cold cuts, etc,) all contain many additives and are far from the original cut of meat they once were! I believe it is also indictive of the modern diet that if people are eating these products they are also most likely consuming other processed, boxed, bbq-d, non-living foods. In my opinion, most meats, with the exception of pork can be part of a healthy diet. The disclaimer would be that like our fruits and veggies, they be prepared in a healthy manner, that the meat comes from healthy livestock being fed natural diets suited to their species and that they are raised and maintained "organically". I am even going to go so far as to say that raw milk and raw milk products are also life giving foods IF they are from healthy, naturally fed, organic cows. A very interesting read is Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston A. Price, DDS. Originally published in 1939 by a dentist who travelled the world studying people groups, their diets, and the effect of modern changes upon their health/cultures. It has been republished.
