Raw Milk

For some reason the topics of pasteurized vs. raw milk and butter vs. margarine cause heated emotion from certain individuals. I have literally been attacked for even suggesting raw milk is safe and healthy as though it were poison. I find it funny that only 40 years ago people had raw milk delivered to their homes for their families to consume and never gave it a second thought. It was unquestioned that milk was a safe, natural food source especially for growing children. My wife grew up on a farm where they had dairy cows and drank unpasteurized milk to which they never had any ill effects.

So what has changed? As with many other examples in our food industry, we try to find ways to make things easier for large companies to make money at the expense of our health. Pasteurization is a process of heating milk in order to kill bacteria and the living enzymes. Pasteurization of milk not only destroys all of the enzymes, it alters the proteins, changes the form of calcium to a much less absorbable form, kills the beneficial bacteria as well as an foreign bacteria introduced in unclean dairies, and reduces all vitamins by 50-80%.

Understand that drinking pasteurized milk does not prevent osteoporosis. Even calves cannot survive drinking pasteurized milk because the process of pasteurization renders milk a dead substance, devoid of real nutrition. Over time, raw milk turns pleasantly sour and can be used for making butter and cheese, but pasteurized milk rots. Only a few decades ago, Americans accepted without question the premise that milk was good for us. Now milk consumption is blamed for everything from chronic ear infections in children to cancer and diabetes in adults.




Testimonials

want to thank Dr. Coberly from the bottom of my heart for the care he has given me these past few years. When I hurt my neck and couldn't lift my painful arm, he fixed it. Last summer, when I pulled my clavicle joint apart, he fixed it. When I twisted my hip in April and couldn't walk, he fixed it.

I'll be 65 soon. I'm a small female and my biggest fear was that I would lose my job because I was hurt. I was so frightened and so anxious. I didn't file state compensation because I didn't want my boss to know I was hurt. He may have replaced me.

Dr. Coberly's rate was so low. When an orthopedic surgeon told me to wear a collar for my neck to keep it immobilized, I was already exercising it and remembered that Dr. Coberly said that joints will stiffen if they don't move. Already, his advice was working and with rubbing the muscles, eventually I was back to normal.

This last time I twisted my hip, and I was even more frightened. I watch people my age get injured and stay disabled. One after another end up having surgery and sometimes it doesn't help. Sometimes, it gets worse. But Dr. Guy fixed me again! I deeply thank him for his simplistic advice with exercising. Not only were there just a couple of exercises with my hip, but Dr. Coberly added, "You know how far to push it. It may feel as though you shouldn't exercise because it hurts, but it'll get better." I was sure I'd be back, but within two weeks I was working and had forgotten about my hip. All of the pain was gone.

I appreciate Dr. Guy. I tell everyone about him. I thank him again and again and again for the low cost, the treatment, the genuine concern he has, and the advice for exercising.

I'd like new patients to read this, but I'm not putting my name on it because I need to protect my job. At nearly 65, there are so many young people that could do it instead of me. Dr. Coberly's genuine concern reminds me to be more careful as I work. Read more.
