BC Completely Supports Prohibition of Raw Milk in Canada

I don’t have a copy of the letter we sent to the Minister of Health, so I am not sure if this letter addressed my issues or not, but it is just a standard sort of a letter that doesn’t really give any consideration for the points brought up. Also, as you can see the reply keeps talking about raw milk without any understanding of the differences between factory farmed raw milk and raw milk from artisanal dairies. There is no consideration of cultural and religious sensitivity. There is no consideration that the health and treatment of the animals is a big concern for many people. All they can see are pathogens. From this letter it is pretty clear that there is a huge lack of understanding about the importance and symbiotic nature of helpful gut microflora for healing and boosting the immune system. There is absolutely no mention of the studies that demonstrate that raw milk reduces asthma and allergies remarkably. These will be some points we bring up in our next letters…I’ll keep you posted. In the meantime, let us know if you get a more personalized response to your letters.

Letter from Tim Lambert, Executive Director of Health Protection regarding raw milk after we wrote to Michael de Jong, Minister of Health to please review and work with Michael Schmidt on creating a certified dairy program in Canada.

Oh McGuinty, Are You Stupid Enough to Make a Martyr of Canada’s Beloved Dairy Farmer?

I've said over and over again that our leaders are literally insane because they are infested with parasitic microorganisms (similar to this parasitic fungi that brainwashes ants). Now we are seeing the true depths of their blind madness. They are so obsessed with controlling everything they can't s ...

Smart Meters Come to BC

It is BC's turn to have Smart Meters installed to measure the amounts of electricity we are using on an hour to hour basis. I only found out about this myself earlier this year when Leanne Gypsy, who wrote the post on Natural Motherhood, was telling me about it. Even then it didn't really sink in. I ...

Scoozi’s Fresh Fruit & Yogurt

I don't eat out that often these days because of the GAPS diet, but there are places I do like to go. Scoozi's is one of them, the soups, omlettes, platters and meatballs are just to die for. The environment is also very nice. Right downtown in Vancouver, BC the restaurant spills out onto the street ...
