Food Standards Agency Consultation: The Future of Raw Milk

March 14, 2014 by WAPF London

Congress Centre, London 31 March 2014

The Food Standards Agency is currently consulting on the future of raw milk regulations and has put forward the chance to hear your views on the subject!

In a public event the impact of future changes to the controls governing the sale of raw drinking milk will be considered from both sides of the debate.

Up for discussion will be the recently published options for updating the rules governing the sale of raw milk in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

Many of you have been following the developments of the FSA’s 12-month consultation on the future of raw milk. The consultation will result in anything from the removal of restrictions to a total ban on the sales of raw milk.

The event will give the opportunity to hear from speakers involved in the production of raw milk, the wider dairy industry and policy makers. Also present will be the Chair and Chief Executive of the FSA and board members who will be making the final recommendations for updating the raw milk controls.

There will also be presentations from:
Steve Hook, Hook & Son
Debbie Vernon, Ellies Dairy
Phil Ridley, WAPF & Campaign for Real Milk, London Chapter Leader

This half day event will be a fantastic, possibly one-off, chance to defend the values of raw milk and have your voice heard. We are expecting it to be a lively discussion on a topic many of you will no doubt feel passionate about.

All the views and discussion will feed into the current consulation on the raw milk regulations. Do not miss out on this chance to protect our right to the production and consumption of raw milk.

Space on the event is limited. To register click here as soon as possible, you will receive an email to confirm your place.

Weston A. Price at CAM Conference on Cardiovascular Health

March 10, 2014 by WAPF London

Cardiovascular Health & BANT AGM

Saturday 15 March 2014,

Cavendish Conference Centre, London.

Working closely with the British Association for applied nutrition and Nutritional Therapy (BANT), CAM Conferences are a series of high-quality, high-end education events for practitioners of complementary and alternative medicine. Inviting only the best, internationally-renowned speakers on each featured topic.

Director of the annual Weston A. Price Foundation’s European conference, Philip Ridley, will be in attendance this Saturday delivering his talk: ‘Cholesterol, the essential sterol for heart health’

Being supporters of traditional, nutrient dense foods is controversial today, since most of our most nutrient dense foods are those rich in cholesterol and saturated fats. Philip will present evidence that these foods are in fact protective against heart disease, that cholesterol and saturated fats are essential nutrients and that statin drugs may cause rather than prevent heart disease. The hypothesis presented is that heart disease is a modern condition brought on by malnutrition, toxicity and modern processed foods. Philip will also discuss the far reaching implications for public policy.

Philip’s talk will take place between 4pm-5pm.

This weekend’s conference will also include talks from Paul Clayton on ‘How muscle, bone, liver, and adipose tissue drive – and cure – diabesity and sarcopenia.’

and Professor Svend Aage Mortensen on ‘How a new, natural treatment may restore cardiovascular health.’

European Conference: Programme Changes & Updates

February 6, 2014 by WAPF London

With the fourth Weston A. Price Foundation European conference only days away things are getting really exciting!

We would like to take this oppurtunity to not just to notify our visitors on a couple of programme changes, also introducing three new treatments available and a brilliant new talk which will help incorporate all the knowledge available at the conference into your daily lives.

Sunday 5pm-6pm We are happy to introduce a new talk by Milko Georgieve and Maria Mitova entitled “How to Build Your Menu”.

Consisting of a “Knowledge” and a “Practice” section the talk will provides an insightful roundup of the conference, with practical ideas on how to incorporate the knowledge learned during the conference into your day-to-day life.

“Knowledge”:This section will focus on teaching visitors about five areas:

Calorie distribution – how much of the food we consume is used for energy and how much for building material.
Guidelines on the frequency, timing and combination of foods for optimal nutrition.
Lean body mass, as the adequate dietary calculations base.
Protein, how to determine the amount needed by our body based on our goals.
Quick review of the types of carbs, protein and fat products you will use to build your menu.

“Practice”:Two volunteers from the audience will be invited up on stage. As a demonstration on how to incorporate the information gained across the weekend, we will set their goals and lifestyle for exercise, determine adequate daily calories for each of them and calculate together how much protein, fat, and carbs they should eat. Finally, we will build a menu for each of them from a list of provided products. The audience will be helping the volunteers. The workshop will end with 5 minute Q&A session.

New Treatments Available:

Additional treatments will be available from Marlow Homeopathy, Thrive Health and Sai Nutrition.

Food Standards Agency Attempt Further Restrictions On The Sale of Raw Milk – Act Now!

February 1, 2014 by WAPF London

The British government’s Food Standards Agency will recommend in a consultation document, that the sale of raw milk in outlets, including vending machines or dispensers in shops, should remain illegal.

Whilst farmers are to be allowed to continue selling raw milk at markets, from their own farms, and over the internet, the FSA will be attempting to continue the move for tighter restrictions on the sale of unpasteurised milk.

After threatening Sussex farmer, Stephen Hook, in December 2011 with legal action for selling raw milk from his farm in Hailsham at a branch of Selfridges to consumers enjoyining the health benefits provided, the FSA has since begun a three-month consultation.

In a review which will apply to England, Wales and Northern Ireland (as raw milk is already banned in Scotland), it will include the option to make all milk pasteurised before it goes on sale, therefore completely banning raw milk.

Philip Ridley, Festival Director, Weston A. Price Foundation European Conference:

Britain’s Food Standards Agency have launched a review of raw milk legislation. As anticipated, an outright ban is not on the table, but further restrictions are proposed that will cause cumulative harm and may lead to further restrictions later if not resisted.

The FSA are seeking to harmonise bovine raw milk regulations with those of other species. This means that they are proposing an outright ban on the retail of non-bovine milk. This will specifically effect Ellie’s Dairy whose frozen grass-fed raw milk is available across Britain in health food stores. A number of other stalls presently retail raw goat milk.

Despite raw milk vending machines being used across Europe without incident and with very high, automated hygiene standards, they are seeking to ban and provide tougher restrictions on it’s retail. Yet it is, and has been, available in many European countries including Germany, where regulated raw milk sales have continued to this day since the 1930’s.

It is especially worthy of note that there has not been any outbreak associated with raw milk in Britain for decades, and that the FSA themselves have accepted that there is no evidence of any risk as a result.

Please CLICK HERE the link below to provide your comments by 30th April 2014.

But more importantly contact your MP, because the proposed changes will likely require legislation that may go before Parliament, noting the lack of consistency with the Coalition’s aim to cut red tape and encourage economic growth.

As a finale to the conference, she presents in the evening, a talk about her “health secrets”.

Frequent contributor to Wise Traditions, and creator of Cholesterol and Health, a website extolling the benefits of nutrient and cholesterol-rich foods, Chris Masterjohn PhD, will be providing two sequential talks on the effects of positive nutrition on both mental health, and heart disease.

Taking place at 10am on Saturday, Chris Masterjohn’s first talk will provide an in-depth insight into the benefits of animal foods, such as organs, bone-broths, and cod liver oil in stable mental health. The talk will draw from Dr Weston Price’s work documenting the ability of nutrient-dense foods in promoting mental health along with physical health.

Focussing on the topic of atherosclerosis, Chris Masterjohn’s second talk centres on the relationship between nutrient synergy and heart-disease prevention. Chris will discuss the best way to harness the power of fat-soluble vitamins, antioxidants, along with other nutrients to prevent molecular degeneration and heart-disease.

Chris’s final talk on Friday evening provides a humerous round up of the studies which claim that a mythical transition from a low-fat to a high-fat diet has caused the scourge of modern disease.

Fish and Cod Liver Oil History & Production: A food that has spanned millennia, the first section of David Wetzel’s two-part talk on Cod Liver Oil will begin by describing the character of fish oils from biblical times to the present day. Explaining the difficulties of integrating a historical food into present-day climate, David will describe the various problems with tests, label requirements, and the drug-language ascribed to mainstream Cod Liver Oil.

Cod Liver (S)oil: What is the perfect food for bacteria? They need protein, sugars, water, and for explosive bacterial growth they need B vitamins and enzymes.

In the second part of David Wetzel’s discussion, he will describe the benefits of using a by-product of cod liver oil as a soil conditioner and raw milk as a fertiliser, pesticide, and an anti-fungal. Discussing his experiences adding liquid fish, molasses, and other real foods to the soil in small quantities David will describe the results of his experiments.

Saturday 11.20am – 12.30pm:

Senior Research Scientist at MIT Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, Stephanie Seneff PhD, will be delivering a talk on the connection between the use of Roundup™ and the rise in autism rates and digestive problems.

GMOs and Roundup™: a Marriage Made in Hell: In this talk Stephanie Seneff will discuss the effect of Glyphosate, the active ingredient in the weedkiller Roundup™, which in a series of studies is demonstrated to be disruptive to the guts of chickens, cows and pigs.

Stephanie will explore the connection between the rise in the usage of engineered “Roundup-ready” monocrops, and the parallel increase of autism rates, digestive problems, and the possibility of links to Alzheimer’s, obesity, depression, and breast cancer.

Saturday 2pm – 4pm:

Internationally renowned for her research in frontier science and medicine, Beverly Rubik PhD will be joining us at the Weston A. Price Foundation European Conference to deliver a two-part talk demonstrating the efficacy of a natural wholefoods diet titled “Health Under the Microscope”.
