Health Benefits Of Eating RAW Cheese

Cows naturally eat grass; however, 90% of dairy cows are raised in a tight, confined stall and fed a diet of genetically modified corn and soy. This grain diet is not genetically congruent for the cow's internal ecosystem and the cows build sickness and disease. They become very acidic, which creates an ideal breeding ground for infectious bacteria such as E Coli.

In the mainstream dairy feedlots, illness and infection are very common. Powerful antibiotics are used to keep infectious bacteria down, but these also damage the natural micro flora the animals need to maintain good health. This creates an even lower natural immunity and contaminates the dairy with antibiotic substances and other dangerous chemicals.

The majority of industrial farms utilize Bovine hormone injections to increase size and weight. Increasing hormone levels boosts milk production. This also increases levels of utter infection, pus formation, antibiotic residue and a cancer accelerating hormone called IGF01.

GRAIN FED DAIRY=INFLAMMATION

Grain-fed cows produce dairy and cheese that is very high in omega 6 fatty acids. The average ratio for a cow on a grain-fed diet is roughly 25:1 (omega 6:3). This is genetically incongruent for all mammal species.

Humans should naturally have an omega 6:3 ratio around 4:1 or 2:1. When these ratios become skewed, they trigger cellular inflammation and accelerated cellular degeneration. This environment causes an individual to become highly inflamed and to build degenerative disease.

When the cows have this acidic, inflammatory environment, they become very thirsty. They drink significantly more water than grass-fed cows (as there is natural hydration in the grass). This water helps to increase dairy production, but the milk is thinner and less tasty.

Years ago, a well-treated cow may have lived close to 20 years. Consider that the typical cow begins lactating around age 2; that is 18 years of dairy production. In 1950, typical cows lived around 10-15 years. Today, the average dairy cow in an industrial farm lives 5 years (3 years of lactation). During these 5 years, the cows are massively fed and stressed to produce the absolute maximal amount of dairy.

Natural grass-fed cows produce between 3-5,000 gallons of milk a year while grain-fed, hormone injected cows can easily produce over 20,000 gallons a year. This is a huge advantage for dairy production because they can feed the cows on government subsidized grains while massively producing dairy.

GRASS-FED DAIRY=ANTI-INFLAMMATORY 

Cheese from 100% grass-fed cows has a perfect omega 6:3 ratio of 2:1. It also contains 5x the amount of Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA), which is an extraordinarily powerful cancer fighting nutrient. CLA is known to boost metabolism and fat burning while enhancing natural immunity. This form of cheese is also a great source of highly bioavailable calcium & magnesium, amino acids and vitamin A, D3, & K2.

Raw cheese is naturally processed through old world traditions. This means that the cheese process begins minutes after the morning milking. Because the milk is so fresh, it isn't necessary to pasteurize it. The natural heat (around 101.5 degrees F) involved in the cheese-making process preserves the naturally beneficial enzymes in the milk which aid in the digestion of lactose and in the absorption of protein, calcium and other critical nutrients. Raw cheese also has a richer and deeper flavor than pasteurized dairy.

This recipe is a great way to boost your brain health, but also great for overall health!

For example it has a lot of healthy fats which can aid in weight lose, it is also good for children with autism, ADD and ADHD, as healthy fats are critical for children's brain development. It can also help with arthritis and reducing inflammation as it is high in omega 3's.

Here is the recipe!

8 oz. of plain amasai
3 free range eggs
2 tbsp. terrain (ginger goes well with this particular recipe, but any of them will do)
1 tsp. organic vanilla extract
5 drops of organic stevia extract (optional for those who need it sweetened)

Blend together in a vita mix or blender.

This recipe is a meal replacement, I don't typically recommend it right before bed.

Brain Boosting, Blues Busting Burger

When it comes to beef, people are afraid of it for several reasons.

  1. Marketing has told us beef is bad
  2. Doctors say beef is bad (will give you heart disease and make you gain weight)
  3. "Studies" have shown beef to be bad
Well I'm here to say, I disagree and agree all at the same time.
First of all when it comes to any animal foods you are NOT what you eat, you are what THEY ATE. So if you are eating conventionally raised, grain finished beef I would say, STOP EATING IT. 

Meat is either concentrated TOXINS or concentrated NUTRIENTS. So in my opinion and the opinion of many other health experts (Dr. Joseph Mercola, Jordan Rubin, Dr. Josh Axe, Dr. David Jockers), meat and especially beef can be an amazing super food. 

DID YOU KNOW? 
Beef is actually HEALTHIER then chicken? Yes, that's right, green-finished beef is healthier then chicken. 

Green-finished beef has nutrients such as, CLA (number one fat burning supplement on the market today and it also fights cancer), HIGH in omega 3s (which are anti inflammatory, high in iron, high in zinc (great for boosting your mood and critical for absorbing your vitamins and nutrients, high in B vitamins (which are great for metabolism and mood) and high in protein.

Brain Boosting, Blues Busting Burger

2 pounds of green-finished beef
2 free range eggs
1/2 cup sprouted 7 seed blend
1 tbsp. thyme, oregano and basil
2 garlic cloves minced
8 green onions chopped finely
1 tsp. real salt

Mix all ingredients together. 
Form into patties and cook in coconut oil.
