Hi,

Is there anybody on the lower north Shore of Sydney (North Sydney - Chatswood) interested in getting Cleopatras in the area?
I have located someone willing to deliver raw milk into the area either by home delivery or to a Health Food shop in the area.. the minimum order is a crate.. (9 x 2litre cartons)
Please post in here if interested, and a health food shop that you might know that could be interested.. I have one in mind, but he has to get over his fear of stocking it first.

Hi everyone, just logged onto this site to check out WHEN the rotten bureaucrats started altering our cows milk!! (ie pasturising/homog.etc) and came across all these blogs.
Seems to be all in N.S.W. and none in Victoria, so anyone in Victoria I will say here and now, if you want cows milk straight from the cow, go straight to the farmer who has cows, a lot of farmers wont sell you the stuff because its illegal but then there are also a lot of others who WILL sell it but you HAVE to keep your mouth SHUT. I went to a local famrer in gippsland and simply asked him if he would sell me some milk, he said yes he would as long as I didnt tell anyone where I got it from, thats ok with me and I picked up the 1st 2 litres today and YUM, it is sooooo creamy, makes the bottles stuff taste like water!!
I dont beleive anything they say about milk straight out of the cows udder because I am now 70, I have 5 brothers and sisters and we were all raised on milk taken straight from the cow and delivered to us in the morning by a milk carter straight out of the great big milk can. Now I lived in country Queensland way back then and Mum used to skim all the cream off the milk, put it in glass jars with lids and get us kids to sit on the stool and shake these jars for HOURS to make butter!!
If the raw milk was so jolly unsafe dairy farmers all over the world would NOT be using it for themselves and their families. Anyway just thought I’d let some victorians know how to go about getting the REAL thing

Hi everyone. I had my first taste of cleo’s today (my first taste of raw milk full stop). It’s certainly got a different taste and a creamyness that you don’t get with milk from the store.

I have to say though it’s a bit heavy and creamy for me. I hope one day you could maybe get reduced fat raw milk or something. I like the taste but presumably raw milk would be quite high in fat, wouldn’t it? it tastes creamier than full cream milk, but I don’t know if that means it has more fat or not.

Other than that, I love the clean taste of the milk. My father’s partner drinks only soy milk but asked if she could have a taste of the milk I had bought. She said it tasted like milk used to when she was a child, and she doesn’t like the strange taste of pasteurised milk. It definitely has a cleanness and freshness that I have not experienced before.

HI Maddie,
re your Mum’s Crohn’s disease and Hashimoto’s. I have hashimoto’s thyroiditis and according to my wonderful GP (who’s an expert on this as she is also a sufferer), and other naturapathic as well as medical sites, gluten inflames the Hashi’s thyroiditis,exacerbating the condition with the added stress of possibly developing coeliac disease. Gluten is not that healthy for consumption in general in any case, and if she has Crohn’s disease then all the more reason to avoid it. There’s an excellent site called Stop the Thryoid Madness as well the Nary Shomon site, both are patient advocate sites with a welath ofn information on auto-immune diseases. I found this site today looking for probiotic stuff after an endoscopy revealed I have some bacteria in the gut that has probably been there and probably contributed to some of the health problems. With the antibiotics I’m taking no one bothered to tell me aboutnprobiotics and just stumbled on this information as a vital necessity for healthy gut flora, very important with all auto-immune disease. Hope this helps.

Hi all - I have a number of questions about all this actually - but my main one was…

my mother has Chron’s disease, and eating foods with gluten makes her bleed from the bowel and she’s in danger of getting bowel cancer unless she completely eliminates it from her diet. there has been a chain of problems that have all come within a couple of years partially due to high stress. She also has Hashimoto’s disease, which is an auto-immune disease affecting the thyroid. Did I see a post somewhere sometime that suggested that raw milk may be able to help with Chron’s disease? I don’t want my poor mum to have to go without gluten products for the rest of her life - or far worse, get cancer of the bowel.

Does anyone know about this? thanks. Maddie

He is five feet ten, 11 stone, has no health problems, but you know the kids are still young, one is four and one will be two soon and we love him and want him to be healthy for a long, long time. He does not smoke, has an occassional red wine, but that’s about his only vice (For me, I don’t touch alcohol at all.) So can he still drink raw milk until the cows come home

Where to get clean, raw milk? Your own cow.

Myself and two siblings grew up on clean, raw milk. We shared wonderful health and seemed to have much more vitality (especially noticeable during flu season) than our suburban school pals.

Although we had only a small couple of acres - there was plenty of grass to feed our cow. Drawbacks? The smell and taste is stronger than conventional, pasteurised milk, and; winter mornings when it was my week-long turn to milk the cow.
