I am so sorry to hear about your daughter ...Jill, <br /><br />I am so sorry to hear about your daughter and the e-coli. Please don't take what I'm about to say as some sort of blame, that is not my intention at all. But I would hope we can all learn from other's experience. <br /><br />There might have been other factors in addition to the raw milk. Vaccinations, antibiotics, even head injuries and other issues can weaken the immune system. If the immune system is strong, we can probably get over something even as bad as e-coli. Like you even said in your post, not all the kids infected got HUS. My question and all our questions should be why? Why one kid and not another? I don't believe it's because a worse germ chased them down and got them. <br /><br />I highly recommend finding a good naturopath or homeopathic doctor. For everyone. They can help bring our bodies into better health, and strengthen our immune systems. Even if we've been sick in the past. They can show us how to rebuild. <br /><br />We are a raw milk family, have been for over a year, we love it, and have not had any problems whatsoever. <br /><br />JenniferAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418833881480544846.post-69447000750623780352012-08-11T10:03:49.693-07:002012-08-11T10:03:49.693-07:00Grandpa was a diary farmer, and although I grew up...Grandpa was a diary farmer, and although I grew up in the city, always wanted to go back to the farm...got to milk cows in Missouri; as a side business, the farmer sold some of his milk raw. Later, had milk goats for 10 yrs. Never had one problem. I agree, Claire, it's best to KNOW YOUR FARMER! Extremely rare would be the farmer who'd want to make people sick, especially children. Hundreds of people die EVERY DAY in auto accidents. Should we outlaw cars? Jill, I am sorry for your loss, I lost a child from SIDS...but, I'd much rather live where we are free to take risks, than be in slavery to a tyrannical gov't who raids a Mennonite farm with guns DRAWN, to confiscate (gasp!) Raw Milk! Spinach & cantaloupe have also killed people/ and made them quite ill. Should raw veggies & fruit be outlawed? <br />Claire, your baby is adorable! God bless you & keep on telling the truth.

She was a healthy 23 month old with no problems. Four kids in total got sick HUS and another dozen or so had vomiting, diarrhea but didn’t’ get HUS. If she had not drank raw milk she would not have contracted ecoli 0157. You can’t get ecoli 0157 from pasteurized milk because pasteurization kills ecoli. Yes, there are other ways to get ecoli 0157 but it the risk increases when you are actively consuming an item that could potentially have been affected. Another way kids get ecoli 0 157 is petting zoo’s where kids touch an animal that may have it then don’t wash their hands well enough or rivers. With the increase consumption of raw milk there has been an increase in ecoli outbreaks related and kids are getting seriously hurt from it. They can’t fight off the bacteria infection like adults can. My husband or I was sick my daughter had devastating consequences that will impact the rest of her life. I wish I had hear real stories of others kids getting sick when we were giving our kids raw milk. I would of hope it would of made a difference in my choice. There are a lot of benefit s from raw milk but there in an inherent risk also. It is sad we have two sides fighting over the information and no one side being truly honest. If they were we may have less kids sick.Jillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418833881480544846.post-60627700241878653932012-08-08T11:51:39.229-07:002012-08-08T11:51:39.229-07:00Jill,
I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter...Jill,<br />I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter. She had a stroke, kidney damage, and colitis all caused by raw milk? Those are complications I've never heard of before being caused by raw milk. I'm curious as to what the souce of sickness came from? Can you tell me more of your experience? Thank you for sharing and my prayers go out for your precious daughter.Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05661889905053474233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418833881480544846.post-53865300528279646992012-08-08T11:17:03.022-07:002012-08-08T11:17:03.022-07:00Make sure you do your research on raw milk and bot...Make sure you do your research on raw milk and both sides. There are benefits but there are huge risk that you can't ignore. My daughter ended up in the hospital for 95 days with a stroke, kidney damaged, colitis and had emergency surgery and now with an ostomy to be reversed. No matter how great the farmer, how clean the process, something can get through and devastation can occur for all involved. I support families to be able to choose what is best for them but the research is so one sided and it makes it hard to really understand the real risk that come with drinking raw milk especially to children.JIllnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418833881480544846.post-9717224248291397832012-08-07T11:23:20.245-07:002012-08-07T11:23:20.245-07:00Hey Sarah,

I was breastfeeding up until last month, so right now she is just getting the raw milk. I hope it helps your daughter!Clairehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05661889905053474233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418833881480544846.post-1975349897484137802012-08-06T19:18:37.768-07:002012-08-06T19:18:37.768-07:00I got to this post through Health Impact News, and...I got to this post through Health Impact News, and have a few questions (as a mommy to a 2-year-old that holds her poo). We drink raw milk (LOVE it), and she will drink a few sips here and there, but not a lot. If I pushed it, she would probably drink more. <br />Just wondering how much she is drinking each day. Do you breastfeed her too, or does she just get the raw milk?Sarah DJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04389527198680562167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418833881480544846.post-73402726648248606922012-08-06T18:27:41.278-07:002012-08-06T18:27:41.278-07:00We drink raw milk.
