Should We Still Drink Raw Milk - Measles Outbreaks This week's edition of “What would Emily do” is dedicated to just two questions that I hear often: 1) Do I still give my family raw milk despite the accounts of a super strain of E. coli that lead to a 2 year old needing a kidney transplant? 2) What do I do to protect my kids from measles 'epidemics' and other reported outbreaks of vaccinatable (my word) childhood … [Read more...] about What Would Emily Do… about Raw Milk and Measles Epidemics?
