John R., Newport Beach, CA

I am a Certified Nutritional Therapist and have been involved and studying nutrition for the last 40 years. I have a B.A. degree in Biology & Chemistry from a California college and have been following the battle over raw milk for decades.

I did research on the differences between raw milk and pasteurized milk when studying microbiology in school.  I became a big believer in raw milk seeing that animals preferred raw milk over pasteurized milk and doing my own investigation of the quality of raw milk over pasteurized milk.

I have converted many people to drinking raw milk and have never had a bad experience drinking it, on the contrary, I have gained huge benefits from raw milk.  Early in life I had mass doses of antibiotics given to me that destroyed my intestinal flora.  I make homemade kefir milk from raw milk and have completely eliminated ALL allergies, never get colds anymore, do not and have not had the flu in 5 years and I attribute most of this success to the raw milk and raw dairy products I am currently eating every single day.

I am 62 years old now and believe that over the years, drinking raw milk has been extremely beneficial to my health.  I graduated college in 1970 and have continued to drink raw milk from that time till now.

I strongly support the efforts being made to establish a new standard for raw milk and hope that it will be supported and encouraged to be drunk by the public at large.
