Raw Dairy Guide 2026: Benefits, A1 vs A2, and Sourcing Safely

Hi. I am a big fan of raw dairy products, completely unheated, unpasteurized, straight from the cow. In all the reading I have done, I have seen that prior to the introduction of widespread pasteurization of dairy products, raw milk was being used to treat many medical conditions, including pelvic inflammatory disease, prostate problems, edema, and others. A rundown on it can be found here: [http://www.karlloren.com/aajonus/p15.htm#_ftn64] It can be a bit difficult to get hold of raw dairy in the US, a bit more easy in France, and I just don't know about other places. Myself I am hoping to find a source this weekend here in Lomé. I hope you might point out raw dairy as a possible healthy addition to people's diets even if no-one wants to try it for those problems. If nothing else, it is an excellent source of calcium and vitamin D, and because it is raw, all the extra enzymes in it that help our bodies absorb calcium are still present. Thanks!

Concerning sinus infections and their relationship to ice cream, I would like to comment on the pasteurization of milk and its products there of. The pasteurization of milk kills the enzymes that enables the body to process and assimilates its benefits. When products of pasteurized milk are consumed, it basically sits rotting in the small intestine, which resides in the same meridian as the sinuses, thus, causing inflammation and quite often sinus infection. Raw milk products from cows raised in mineral rich pastures, fed only grasses and no grain, produce a milk highly beneficial and easily assimilated by our human bodies. It is loaded with fat soluble vitamins, A , D, and E, minerals and enzymes. So don't knock out ice cream all together, it can still be enjoyed by making your own with fresh raw milk.

I have been drinking raw milk from a local dairy farm for around 3 years. I felt it was a good healthy way to drink milk. In November 2025 I developed severe stomach pain and diarrhea. Had it for about 6 weeks. I started an elimination diet and eliminated all of my supplements as well. But the pain continued. Then I found the farm's Facebook page and saw their alert that the milk tested positive for campylobacter bacteria! I of course stopped drinking the milk and looked up the information. It's scary and can become guillain barr syndrome! I improved quickly, mostly because I started drinking colloidal silver and took activated charcoal (away from the cs) each day. So the point of my story is to warn others who might trust raw milk! DON'T DRINK IT!!!

Hi, Im interested in trying raw milk and wanted to know if anyone knew somewhere in philadelphia, pa where I could get some? thanks!
