No more arthritis

I was going to post this in the Goat Forum, but I just thought it was so important I would post it here. I thought I had made a "discovery", until my coworker said someone else surely discovered this first!
I have been drinking 2 qts of raw goats milk every day for about 3 weeks. After one week, I realized my hands were no longer painful, my rings could go on and off with no trouble. Sure theres still some calcium type knots here and there, but other than that absolutely no inflamation! My back still hurts, but milk won't change some of those issues.
I searched online and sure enough alot of research has been done on the subject. I haven't been sick yet this year, so I am waiting to see if the goats milk will help me stay well. I know it has improved my skin too. Just wanted to let you know in case it helps!

Why not? I heard Dr. Oz say that cocoa powder is good for high blood pressure too. DH drinks a whey protien shake made with raw goats milk, whey powder and cocoa powder.

The raw milk really helps me too, but if I pasteurize it I will have a flare.

It is an anti-inflammatory food. I'm glad you feel better.

Excellent news trailrider! Lots of us are hooked on raw goats milk (plain or chocolatized) because of the health benefits!

Guess ill be buying a milker. Sold a goat last night with CAE. Now my lone goat Blondie is going nuts specially since I loaned out Buckie 3 weeks ago and shes alone here. Dont think she would like it if I brought Buckie home before I got a replacement or 2 for her to be company with. I was milking Blondie, but it was her first time I guess, and she didnt like the idea, and I couldnt catch her regulary enough to milk her regulary, and so I quit before she caught mastitis. I finally figured out a way to get her in a pen and then I could have caught her, but. I had that pen rigged up, feeding them in there, or trying to for a week for they would get near the entrance of it. It took another week of putting the pan towards the entrance, and then moveing it further to the back of the pen for they would go all the way in there. I imagine, if I had tried that with blondie to milk her, They would have never gone into the pen, feed or not,

Luvrulz, if you tried the "goat milk" from the grocery store, you are right, it's nasty. Goat milk doesn't travel well, and the proteins break down.

Fresh goat milk from a healthy goats, milked cleanly, is sweeter than cow milk.

Try raw cows milk instead.

sounds like you haven't had good goat milk! Our milk is SUPERB! Thanks to our Nubians and putting it in the freezer for 1.5 -2 hours, then in the frig.

my daughters pediatrician put her on goats milk when she was young cause she couldnt keep any formula down and the soy milk isnt as nuritional and she loved it and never spit it up. SHe used to spit up cows milk too. SHe has outgrown it now but thank goodness for goat milk.

I would hazard a guess here and say it was the way it was handled after milking. Goats milk needs to be chilled asap to prevent the "billy goat" taste. This is presuming of course that standard cleanliness measures were taken during the actual milking process.

You will find two "faucets" located towards the rear of the beast... squeeze gently from the top down.

Unfortunately, cow's milk is inflammatory. I think it's the proteins? That's why goat's milk is used to feed babies all over the world, but cow's milk is not. They just aren't allergic to goat's milk because it does not cause inflammation.

Our grandson did fine on raw cow's milk and now goat's milk since we got back into the dairy goats. What he (and the rest of our family) can't handle is pasteurized milk (cow or goat).
