Seems the issue is because the goats milk lacks vitamins needed for infants, so that is why the state is interceding.

But I can see that someone would doubt it if they have been listening to puppet stations such as NBC or CNN. Do you know who discredits the vaccine claims? People that sell them. Mercury causes brain damage, and mercury is in the vaccines, if that isn't common sense then nothing is.

The fluoride source is a meta-study of other studies and the conclusion was, maybe we should look at this more. It is not a total condemnation of fluoride.

Gosh, science finds new evidence that artificial sweeteners might be bad for you. Remind me what this proves?

Mercury does not occur in vaccines. It was removed - although it was harmless - more than ten years ago, except for some influenza and tetanus vaccines.


Um, perhaps you haven't heard that mercury poisons people? :palm:

I hate to kill a good conversation/angry shouting match in the making, but let's not make this an autism and vaccines thread. It's about a New England witch-woman feeding her spawn a bizarre goat secretion, and Big Brother's attempts to stop her.

I find that hard to believe. No one pisses and moans about feeding kids cow's milk, and it's more likely to upset the digestion.

Goat's milk is often used when kids are allergic to cow's.

Or is this another "government wants to force you to feed your kids chemicals!!!101111!!!! thingie?

Maybe this goat's milk isn't pasteurized or something? I mean ffs, they sell goat's milk in my supermarket.

Again, they encourage GMO made formulas made from high fructose corn syrup (which slows growth in infants btw). I'm not sure what makes this a "conspiracy theory", anyone can say that their argument is truth but haven't we seen this over and over? You cant have knowledge without truth, dont deny it.


Which is why we let Christian Scientists off the hook when their children die because they thought praying for God and Jesus to cast Cure Critical Wounds instead of taking them to the hospital is sound medical advice.

Pretty sure medical experts would recommend human or donkey milk instead.

Human is obviously problematic for our place at the top of various alimentar webs, meaning we end up with a greater concentration of toxines in our bodies, but still it is very important until 6 months.

The thing is, I trust somebody who's fucking job it is to mix this stuff up- the same stuff then having to go through a series of rigorous medical trials- more than I trust an misinformed non-chemists' opinion.

There's questioning authority, and there's being absurd.

My question is, the woman clearly tried to feed from the breast. Why didn't she just put breast milk in a bottle? Why did she abandon breast milk and head straight for fucking goat's milk?

when I was a baby 56 years ago it was common to make your own infant formula out of canned milk, corn syrup and...whatever else was available.

today we have scientifically formulated infant formula that has an excellent chance of giving your baby everything it needs to grow and thrive. the next best thing to breast milk.

I think the state is very right to stop this mother from making her own formula based on stuff she read online.

she tried and was unsuccessful. there are many kinds of unsuccessful but pretty much all of them result in not making enough milk to feed the baby.
