SILVER SPRING, Maryland, November 2, 2011 – They escaped arrest. The “raw milk freedom riders” who illegally transported raw milk from a farm in Pennsylvania to FDA headquarters in Silver Spring, Maryland and then drank it and distributed it to a crowd rallied in support of their efforts got away with their crime.
As reported yesterday in this column, this group of raw milk activists planned the ride and rally to protest government restrictions on the sale of raw milk and the spending of taxpayer money to raid and bankrupt small family farms.
The rally began at noon as the swelling crowd gathered to hear speakers and await the arrival of the caravan, which, after celebrating its arrest-free arrival, gave out milk and cookies for all to enjoy.
In the crowd of 150 were raw milk supporters from Massachusetts, Wisconsin, New Jersey, Minnesota, and Ohio and throughout the DC Metro area. Said Kimberly Hartke, publicist for the Weston A. Price Foundation:
“The rally was celebratory, as the moms, with joy, took back their power and acted out their food sovereignty as citizens of a free country.”
Organizer Karine Bouis-Towe of the Farm Food Freedom Coalition read a statement from the Obama administration that said:
“Barack Obama and Joe Biden recognize that local and regional food systems are better for our environment and will support family-scale producers. They will emphasize the need for Americans to buy fresh and local.”

>> “He RETIRED” <<
After he was ordered to surrender his license.
Glad you are an ‘EXPERT’ (a former drip under pressure)
And btw, I lived in Europe three years, and I was not a wet behind the ears student.
‘Bolen’s most persistent smear is his description of me as “de-licensed.” He is fully aware that “de-licensed” means having one’s license taken away by regulatory authorities and that I merely retired in 1993. I have committed no misconduct and retired in good standing, but Bolen likes to pretend that I have done something wrong. The Pennsylvania Board of Medicine now classifies my license as “Active – Retired,” which means that I can prescribe for myself and my immediate family. Since I no longer see patients, there is no reason to maintain a broader license.’
Give it up. He would be in bad standing then and it would be noted.
Exchange student in France: One year, living in a full immersion environment with two different French families. One family, a rural family who owned a farm with chickens, rabbits, cows, pigs, orchards, wheat fields, and a kitchen garden. The other family: two physicians and their daughter living in a large city. Went to high school with French teenagers. Got to experience culture from the inside.
Military member stationed in Spain: Three years. Chose to live off-post, rather than on-post, in order to experience the culture. While not quite as immersive as the time spent in France, still got to see quite a bit of it and interact with Spaniards.
I did not see anyone consume raw meat in either country, although I did once see someone in France consume raw shellfish (clams and sea urchins). In Spain, there were cats in many of the restaurants, which was kind of strange and different. I wonder if they still keep restaurant cats, or if EU regulations have forbidden that practice.
That is a false statement. Barratz surrendered his license to get a court action dropped.
>> “The hydrogen peroxide is supposed to do what? Adding it to the water will kill almost anything in the water” <<
.
Nonsense! - It kills anerobic organisms, but in the proportions normally used, it actually enhances the function of aerobic organisms present.
Disinformation is definitely your style.
Your idea of “scientific evidence” is rather twisted; it rejects all that contradicts your errors. That is crippling to the advancement of healing knowledge, but then, Big Med and Big Pharma despise the very idea of healing, as it cuts into their profits substantially.
Your choice of an industry controlled Federal propaganda ministry as a place to start ‘research’ is a laugh. (or a cry if you need healing)
Disinformation is definitely your style.
To my knowledge, hydrogen peroxide makes no distinction as to what kind of organism it kills.
You've already demonstrated quite amply that you have no interest in genuine science. As I have pointed out before, your absolute faith in claims unsupported by any scientific proof, and distrust of actual hypothesis-driven peer-reviewed science makes your presence at Free Republic a mystery. You'd be much better off at some New Age forum, where beliefs such as yours fluorish. Those forums cater to those who reject rational logical thought and embrace emotional magical thought--they would be perfect for you.
Hydrogen Peroxide is essentially nothing but a concentrated solution of O3 oxygen in water. Food grade has no other substances added. At any concentration, it kills anaerobic organisms by rendering the ph of the organism outside of its normally acidic range, thus chemically turning off its life mechanisms. For aerobic organisms, if the concentration is high, it does the same thing, by pushing the ph above its range, but in low concentration, as it is used by most people for intestinal regulation, it actually allows them to grow more rapidly.
Its all a matter of concentration.
What you persist at calling “genuine science” is not science at all, because it is biased, not honest and objective in gathering its empiracy.
Objective scientific proof comes down solidly on the side of natural therapy. Injecting non life source concoctions into a living cell results in the cell’s destruction. Our cells cannot deal with anything as a nutrient unless it consists largely of nucleotides. Life from life.
When your very first sentence is so completely wrong, how can anything else you say be taken seriously?
You clearly don’t know what science is. Your belief that, somehow, there is a vast conspiracy among scientists to hide the “truth” (why, we don’t know), while only a handful of people (who are happy to sell you all kinds of “supplements”) know the “truth” is ludicrous. Really, wouldn’t you be happier at some Gaia worshipping forum, where everyone believes in weird conspiracies like you do?
Gee, if you bothered even to glance at the links I have, you’d know to correct the spelling to “Barrett” - singular, not plural.
That in itself tells me much about you.
Whether raw milk is innocuous, or lethal, depends on a lot of factors, most of which are not under the drinker’s control. If the cow is disease-free, and her udder has been properly washed, and the container into which she is milked is clean, and the milk is transported properly, and etc, etc, etc, then raw milk is probably innocuous.
Notice how many of those things YOU don’t control? Pretty much none of them - unless you’re raising the cow yourself, or a well-known neighbor is - and therefore only a fool or an idiot would go on and on about the bennies of raw cow’s milk. Some of the risks? In addition to those some have listed, polio is a definite risk - had a great uncle who contracted polio from drinking raw cow’s milk.
Basically, unless you can control all of the factors listed above - or have a reliable basis for believing that they have been controlled, which is something you only get with FDA-type dairy rules - then you might as well start playing Russian roulette while you’re downing your glass of raw.
Yes, calling attention to your unscientific bias makes me wrong!
I rest my case.
Its all in the court records
