Question: WHAT IS YOUR OPINION OF HOMOGENIZED MILK? Answer: In Southern Dairy Products Journal, June 1934, page 17, there are some illuminating statements. The very title of the article is significant: Homogenization – Your Answer to Evaporated Milk Inroads.
The evaporated milk industry has been making serious inroads particularly in “selling” the mothers of the country on evaporated milk for babies… the best answer to evaporated milk competition… is homogenization.
The article goes on to say:.
The production of homogenized milk calls for the addition of more specialized equipment in the dairy plant and… the smaller dairyman is not prepared to produce this type of milk… Either he must add homogenizing equipment to his plant or lose considerable baby business.
The introduction of pasteurization was a serious blow to the small dairyman and now he must invest in still more complicated equipment – or else. Wonder how many places there are for germs to hide in the outfit. We will give all (?) dairymen the benefit of the doubt, however, and assume that everything is sterilized to death and beyond.
Continuing the writer says:There are three factors which may make the sale of homogenized milk difficult… These are (A) the absence of a “cream line” since homogenized milk has no cream line. [Unquote – We seem to sniff another profit; they can reduce the butter fat content of the milk and get away with it as nice as you please.] (B) an “oxidized” flavor which develops occasionally … (C) sediment which occurs occasionally in the homogenized milk bottle… Every objectionable feature can be overcome with care and common sense.
The personal equation is therefore still with us. All homogenized milk has also been pasteurized, thus doubly processed. In our opinion it is a “mess”.
The editor hopes to have the privilege of prescribing raw milk for his grandchildren in case artificial feeding should become necessary. Obviously we are still living in a “commercially inspired civilization”.
Question: HOW WOULD YOU DIFFERENTIATE Anacardium FROM Nux Vomica?.
Answer: Mentally there is more indifference, weakness of memory and loss of interest in Anacardium than in Nux. Anacardium has indecision and vacillation of mind to a marked degree. Nux is irritable when aroused or disturbed but Anacardium will often “cuss” without the slightest provocation. Nux is more definitely aggravated in the morning and one to three hours after eating. Anacardium is aggravated when the digestive process is entirely completed and ameliorated after eating. The sensation as of a plug or wedge driven in at the base of the brain, in the rectum or anywhere in the body is characteristic is Anacardium.
A man of middle age was subject to the sensation as of a wedge or plug at the base of the brain and said that this would come on like a wave without any warning and stay with him until he could get something to eat or else take a brisk walk in the open air. (Nux is often aggravated by this.) When this feeling came on he felt like “quitting his work and telling everything and everybody to go to h—.” Anacardium did wonders for him.
Allan D. Sutherland was born in Northfield, Vermont in 1897, delivered by the local homeopathic physician. The son of a Canadian Episcopalian minister, his father had arrived there to lead the local parish five years earlier and met his mother, who was the daughter of the president of the University of Norwich. Four years after Allan’s birth, ministerial work lead the family first to North Carolina and then to Connecticut a few years afterward.
Starting in 1920, Sutherland began his premedical studies and a year later, he began his medical education at Hahnemann Medical School in Philadelphia.
Sutherland graduated in 1925 and went on to intern at both Children’s Homeopathic Hospital and St. Luke’s Homeopathic Hospital. He then was appointed the chief resident at Children’s. With the conclusion of his residency and 2 years of clinical experience under his belt, Sutherland opened his own practice in Philadelphia while retaining a position at Children’s in the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department.
In 1928, Sutherland decided to set up practice in Brattleboro.
