Molasses and milk is a hand-me-down remedy that goes from grandparent to grandparent to way back when, and when ever this remedy got started.....who knows. But back in the good old days when everyone grew a garden, they all enjoyed the fresh vegetables that were enriched with the many vitamins and minerals.
From eating these fresh vegetables people did not get sick as often, but in the winter time it was a different story being that fresh vegetables were no longer available. Because molasses has vitamin B-6 and the nine minerals that are listed up above, it was wise to mix molasses and milk together and drink this on a regular bases all winter long when fresh fruits and vegetables were not available. In other words it was a natural vitamin and mineral pill or juice that was taken in the winter time, and those people who drank it were less likely to get sick over those who did not drink it. Also raw milk that comes from cows, goats and sheep, it has the following Vitamins: B-1, B-2, B-3, B-5, B-6, B-12 and Vitamin C. Milk also has a fair amount of Vitamins A and D, and it has traces of Vitamins E and K. Raw milk also has the following Minerals: Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Selenium and Zinc. Milk also has traces of: Copper, Iron, Manganese and Sodium. But when the raw milk is processed and we buy the milk in a store, that milk has much less the Vitamins and Minerals compared to raw milk. You need to remember that these animals are eating Vitamin and Mineral enriched plants everyday and those Vitamins and Minerals are passed on to us when we drink the raw milk. If you are interested in drinking raw milk instead of the processed milk then go to a dairy community and ask the people in that town as to which farmers will sell you their raw milk. The Grade A Dairy Farms have the best raw milk to drink. By the way most dairy farmers do drink their own raw milk. They live to a ripe old age and they do not get sick very often. Most of the farm wives do grow large gardens every year giving the family fresh fruits and vegetables all summer long.
As kids we drank molasses and milk all of our lives. My sister who is nine years older then me, she talks about going to Grandmas when she was a little girl and Grandma would give her molasses and milk to drink and they told her to drink it all because it was very healthy for her. Our grandparents drank it everyday.
In our family, staff infection was common in the way of skin problems. I personally had to cope with most of these skin problems in my early years. I had acne, boils, impetigo, chicken pox, measles, eczema, and puss pockets that would appear all over the whole body. Some of my brothers also had skin problems but not as bad as I did. Most of these skin problems took place in a ten year period between 5 and 15 years old. Most of these problems were brought under control by living a strict diet in my teenage years.
That diet was as follows: no sugar, no oily foods, no greasy foods, no fried foods, no cheese, no peanut butter, in fact I was not to eat any of the nuts, and no chocolates. Chocolate is very deadly to those who have skin problems. This type of diet brought my body under control and it put a stop to most of my skin problems. From about age 20 to the present my skin has been very clear. But all during this time from when I was a little boy to the present I have always drank my molasses and milk just about every day and sometimes twice a day. Another thing I have eaten all my life was raisins and/or dried fruit. My mother use to tell me that the raisins were rich in iron, potassium and other trace minerals. I have not been to a doctor in a long, long time. I am sure there have been other factors that have kept me from seeing a doctor, but it is a fact that molasses and milk is one of the remedies that has kept me going, and I still drink it regularly to this very day.
The directions in making molasses and milk is very simple. Many of the brands of molasses that are sold in the stores have a bitter taste to them and if you have given up on molasses and milk because of its bitter taste then I don't blame you for quitting. I too have turned up my nose at the bitter ones. But I have found a brand of molasses that is not bitter. It is called " Grandmas' Molasses " and I have been drinking this brand for twenty years and then some. To 16 fl. ounces of cold milk, add one teaspoon of Grandma's Molasses and stir until the molasses is gone from the bottom. When the amount is just right, the molasses and milk mixed together, the drink will have a natural maple flavor. But when there is too much molasses mixed in the milk, then it doesn't taste so great. If you do get too much molasses in the milk, just add more milk until the drink is just right. When I mix molasses and milk, I just dump some in, about a teaspoon amount, then I stir and drink. I never measure it. If I put too much, I just add more milk. I most generally will drink my molasses and milk whenever I get thirsty for a tall glass of ice cold milk.
Should we still drink molasses and milk in our day and age? YES! Molasses and milk with its nine minerals is a Cancer Killer.In other words the drinking of Molasses and Milk will kill cancer cells in your body, and the mineral called manganese, this mineral will kill free radicals. This mineral will also control MS. See my article on Google Search " Uncle Bob's Home Remedies-A breakthrough or a cure for Multiple Sclerosis ". Also the mineral known as Potassium is well known to help lower your blood pressure, and guess what? The Potassium found in molasses is 20 times more then what you would find in any other food. That means that each day you drink a glass of Molasses Milk you are automatically lowering your own blood pressure. Isn't that nice? SO! Enjoy an ice cold glass of molasses and milk today. In the long run you will be glad that you did! Molasses and Milk maybe an old remedy, but it is still a good Remedy.
