ACCION RETARDATRIZ

Hereford, Texas became known as the "Town without a Toothache" in 1942 due to the pioneering work of dentist George Heard and author of Man Versus

Toothache. Dr. Heard explains the town's secret:

After a newcomer has lived in Hereford a few years, provided he had drunk lots of raw whole milk, he develops resistance to tooth decay. Even the tooth cavities which he brings with him when he comes to Hereford will be glazed over, if he has drunk raw milk.

For years I made inquiry of my patients as to their milk habits. Almost invariably I found that the possessor of a mouth full of sound teeth had been a consistent milk drinker from early child- hood. A surprisingly large number liked either buttermilk, clabber or both. The significant fact is that the milk those patients drank came from cows that had grazed on native grass in Deaf Smith County pastures. In winter, as a rule, the cows had grazed on green wheat}07

My fellow dentists heard me out of respectful attention. One dentist Dr. Young remarked: "If all our patients adhered to Dr. Heard's ideas, we would be minus patients."108

There are not words to explain the supreme value of raw grass-fed milk in all its forms. High quality raw milk will substantially contribute to your health and well-being, and to your children's health and well-being. Milk is very high in the minerals calcium and phosphorus which we know we need for strong teeth and bones. Four cups (one quart) of milk provides about one gram of calcium and one gram of phosphorus per day. This is a significant portion of your daily requirements of the minerals you need for healthy teeth and bones. The fat por- tion of the milk, the cream, contains small amounts of valuable fat-soluble vita- mins like A and D, as well as vitamin C. When pasturing cows eat rapidly growing grass in the time of rapid growth after it rains, there will be moderate amounts of bone hardening Activator X in the milk. It is worth noting that the soils of Deaf Smith County, Texas were extremely high in the mineral phosphorous.

Dr. Heard's years of observations show that people drinking one quart (four cups) of excellent grass-fed milk per day will be i m m u n e to cavities. He also advised to take some of the milk in different forms such as: buttermilk, clab- ber, cottage cheese, kefir, and yogurt. Several ancient Ayurvedic texts, more than 2,000 years old, describe using milk, yes, raw grass-fed milk, as a cure for literally hundreds of ailments. The most particularly healing milk to the body was identi- fied as buttermilk. Since all milk was cultured in those days (the refrigerator was not yet invented) this would of course be non-pasteurized cultured buttermilk. Milk's healing power lies in its nutrient density and the ease with which our body can digest it.

Before the recent invention of refrigerators, milk was drunk either immedi- ately after milking, known as sweet milk, or it naturally began to sour and was transformed into cheese or yogurt. Probiotics are vital to our health and good digestion. Many forms of soured milk are excellent for obtaining these detoxify- ing and vitamin-creating bacteria. Having healthy teeth is a result of more than just eating well; it is about absorbing food well. An essential aspect of nutrient

absorption is having a diet rich in probiotic, live foods. In addition to a wide spec- trum of probiotic bacteria, different forms of soured milk including yogurt con- tain highly absorbable forms of calcium. Soured milk is also low in milk sugar, known as lactose. Dr. Heard's observation that people who are immune to cavi- ties consume a significant amount of soured milk reveals a vital but little known way to create immunity to tooth decay.

Let's review some of the life-affirming f o r m s of raw milk.

Clabber is a strong soured yogurt-like milk product produced by allowing milk to sit out in a jar at room temperature.

Kefir (pronounced keh-FEER) is produced when milk sits in a jar with kefir grains. This is a symbiotic matrix colony of bacteria and yeast that resemble a cauliflower. Kefir grains can be obtained online, or from friends. At room temperature the kefir grains consume milk sugars and transform raw milk into a potent nutrient-rich cultured beverage. It can be drunk plain or in smoothies. Kefir seeds our intestines with milk-digesting bacteria and aids in cleansing and detoxification of the body. Regular consumption of kefir will increase your vitality and longevity by filling you up with more than 60 probiotic yeasts and bacteria, not to mention the highly digestible forms of minerals in the kefir milk.

Whey is the light yellowish liquid that remains when milk solids are removed from cultured milk. You may have seen it on the top (or at the bottom) of your yogurt container. After milk sours, the liquid portion of the milk can be separated from the solids, leaving you with curds and whey. Whey is an ancient health remedy because of how easy it is to absorb and digest along with its vast probiotic contents. Whey can be obtained from yogurt if you do not have access to raw milk.

Butter milk is the liquid that is left over from the process of churning butter. It has a refreshing sweet and sour taste, and will aid your overall health.

Suggested Dairy Intake

2-4 cups of raw dairy per day. Make sure to regularly include any or all of these probiotic milks: kefir, yogurt, clabber, whey and buttermilk.

Dentist George Heard's message for the people:

Reader, would you like to have my formula for building sound teeth in one line? Well, then, here it is: Drink plenty of pure raw milk every day.}<)<)

These excellent results were enjoyed by Deaf Smith residents because the cows pastured on Texas's native grasses grown on mineral-rich soil and grazed green wheat in the winter time.
