Unpasteurized milk was responsible for 1/4 of all infectious disease outbreaks in the US in the 1930s & 1/10 of tuberculosis deaths. Unless you are harvesting milk yourself it’s really weird to seek out raw milk & pay 10x as much as what’s readily available at every corner store.

Heartbroken after seeing a young patient with no medical history, end up with a BIFFL GRADE II dissection of the vertebral artery and subsequent acute PICA infarct immediately after a neck adjustment from the chiropractor. This has to stop. Chiropractors - you HAVE to stop.
