The NotMilkWoman's Ten Rules


I got this article today from the Not Milk Man and he is not even SDA and talks about and promotes E. G. White and her writings. I just had to re-post it, here it is.


Had she lived today, I would have been out of a job and title. Meet the NotMilkwoman, Ellen G. White (1827 - 1915)


I have the advantage of citing scientific studies from peer-reviewed studies to work into my daily columns. Ellen G. White just "knew" milk did not do the body any good. Many believe that her visions were divinely inspired.


I've compiled a list of ten of my favorite Ellen White anti-dairy quotations. Please share them with friends. Print this list and attach it to the side of your refrigerator. Leave a copy of these ten quotes at every inappropriate picnic or buffet-table cheese dish.


Rule #1
Cheese should never be introduced into the stomach. (Ministry of Healing, 1905)


Rule #2
It will not be very long before we shall have to give up any animal food. Even milk will have to be discarded. (Australasian Union Conference Record, July 28, 1899)


Rule #3
When the time comes that it is no longer safe to use milk, cream, butter, and eggs, God will reveal this. (Testimonies, Volume 2, 1868)


Rule #4
Large quantities of milk and sugar eaten together are injurious. They impart impurities to the system. (Testimonies, Volume 2, 1868)


Rule #5
Sugar and the milk combined are liable to cause fermentation in the stomach, and are thus harmful. (Christian Temperance and Bible Hygiene, 1890)


Rule #6
Animals from which milk is obtained are not always healthy. They may be diseased.
(Testimonies, Volume 2, 1870)


Rule #7
As disease in animals increases, the use of milk and eggs will become more and more unsafe.
(Ministry of Healing, 1905)


Rule #8
I would recommend that people eat flesh meats sooner than large quantities of milk and sugar. It would not do the injury that milk and sugar do. (Testimonies, Volume 2, 1870)


Rule #9
The health food business purpose is to supply the people with food which will take the place of flesh meat, and also milk and butter. (Australasian Union Conference Record, January 1, 1900)


Rule #10
Let the people be taught how to prepare food without the use of milk or butter. (Testimonies, Volume 7, 1902)


Through a 70-year writing and speaking career, Ellen White's message was clarity. She argued that cleansing one's body would become the first step in cleansing one's soul. In order to see truth, one needs clarity.


How beautifully we can combine her religious insights with today's scientific evidence. We know that milk protein, casein, triggers the production of histamines. After eating cheese or ice cream, one manufactures mucus, and plenty of it. The kidneys, pancreas, lungs, thymus--all fill with viscous mucus. Collectively, the human body and organs become congested with 3-4 extra quarts of mucus which result in an "internal fog".


Take Ellen White's advice and rid yourself of this fog. Do not eat any dairy product for seven days. Not ice cream. Not pizza. Not yogurt.


That is all that it will take for you to have physical clarity. Without physical clarity, one can never reach true spiritual clarity. There will always be vestiges of fog to cloud your vision. The Notmilkwoman waited for a time in which "God will reveal" when it is no longer safe to use consume milk and dairy.


Through thousands of converging lines of evidence in scientific journal articles, that merger of science and religion has taken 21st century humans to a new potential. Join Ellen G. White and Robert Cohen in the Notmilk movement.

The Corporate Buyout of our Health


No, I’m not talking about HMO’s, but that’s another thing that didn't improve medical care, but it did improve insurance companies’ profits. I am talking about the selling of health businesses and herbal medicine companies to big corporations.

Coca Cola bought out Odwalla juice. That was a nightmare. Their bad processes made people sick and caused pasteurization laws to be passed so now we can only buy cooked apple juice.

Pepsi Cola bought out Naked Juice, so now most of our fresh juices are being produced by Coke, Pepsi and other soda pop companies.

Kraft Foods, the people who make Velveeta imitation cheese, bought out Boca Burger, the veggie burger company, and that quality went down. (By the way, Kraft Foods is owned by tobacco giant Phillip Morris.)

Lipton, the huge black tea company, bought out Celestial Seasonings Herbal Teas, and we got prettier packaging, not better product!

Mars Incorporated, the huge candy bar company (M&M’s and Snickers), bought out what used to be an awesome Organic seed and food company, Seeds of Change.

Traditional Medicinal Teas – SOLD and is no longer owned by the great California herbalist Rosemary Gladstar anymore. In fact, I just searched for her name on their corporate website and nothing came back!

Janet Zand’s herbal products – SOLD and is no longer owned by Janet anymore. (By the way, I couldn’t find her name on the company website anymore, either.)

Burt’s Bees – SOLD to Clorox.

Get my point here? The Soda Pop, Candy Bar and Junk Food industries are taking over our Health Food Industry!

Coconut Oil


Coconut oil, although saturated, is good when used in moderation. The fatty acids in coconut oil are shorter chains of carbon atoms, which make a difference in the way our body handles them. Saturated fatty acids with 18 carbons (long chains) appear to be the ones that have the negative effect in our body. This type of saturated fat is more abundant in products of animal origin. In fact, some studies seem to show that the real culprit may not be the saturated fat itself but the animal protein that comes along with it. Many authorities in nutrition are proposing that the real culprit and most powerful blood cholesterol elevator is the animal protein.

Who are the people with the highest rates of hypercholesterolemia? The ones who eat the typical western diet, high in animal food and refined vegetable oils? Or the inhabitants of the developing countries who eat diets low in animal product and high in coconut and coconut products and oils?

Another point in favor of coconut oil is that because it is saturated and made of medium and short chains of fatty acids it is more stable (resistant to oxidation). It can resist higher temperatures (cooking) and more exposure to light; therefore, it has a longer shelf-life. Whereas vegetable oils, which are long chains of polyunsaturated fatty acids are less stable and more prone to oxidation.

According to many authorities in nutrition, the best oils to use are the monounsaturated ones, like olive oil and avocado oil, and the short chain, saturated coconut oil. The more unsaturated oils (the polyunsaturated vegetable oils) need to be used freshly extracted because they are easily oxidized. Also, the vegetable oils like corn oil, safflower oil, cottonseed oil, etc., are very high in the linoleic fatty acid, which is used by the body to make prostaglandins that favor inflammation, thus increasing the risk of chronic diseases like coronary heart disease, arthritis, cancer, etc.

Coconut oil has gotten bad publicity over the years, but only because of a propaganda smear campaign by the soybean industry. The public has been lied to for many years regarding the benefits of coconut oil. The Asian countries of the world have used this as a staple for hundreds of years with no bad effects. And, they have one of the lowest incidences of heart disease.

Supersized Ban on Soda, but Not on Milkshakes


This week, New York City's Mayor Michael Bloomberg proposed banning XL coffee drinks at Starbuck$, and XL-sugary sodas at fast food restaurants and Yankee Stadium. The Mayor is taking away the fun of spending $6.50 to help pay for A-Rod's $30 million 2012 salary. That's $185,000 per game!!!  In 1969 a Yankee Stadium soda cost only 25 cents and we had no obesity epidemic.

A Supersized 32 ounce Coke contains 267 calories and 64.76 grams of sugar.

A Supersized 32 ounce vanilla milkshake contains almost four times as many calories (1,024) as the soda, and almost two and one-half times as much sugar (161 grams).

Growth Hormones: Soda contains zero growth hormones. Milk and milkshakes contain the most powerful growth hormone known to science, IGF-I. Professional athletes caught taking that same growth hormone become suspended from their sport. Children, who take that same growth hormone and sit home on the couch, grow fat.

In 1969 when that soda at The Stadium cost 25 cents, the average American ate ten pounds of cheese per year. In 2012, the average American will eat 32 pounds of cheese. Stop blaming soda and Starbuck$ Vente Lattes for obesity. By doing so, you're milking an obscene lie.

Be fair. Do the math, and place the blame where it belongs. Today, dairy (with natural growth hormones) represents 40 percent of the average American diet.

When are we going to follow God's advice and follow Gen 1:29?
