Milk Diet is a treatment book, based on the observations of Dr. Porter who spent over 41 years permanently curing or modifying disease in over 18,000 of his patients with the use of raw milk. This treatment dates back to the time of Hippocrates. This book also details the composition of raw milk, giving explanation to how it is able to offer a safe alternative to conventional treatments for chronic disease. The healing is dramatic and should not be feared but welcomed, for it is a true healing, not the suppression of symptoms.
