INTRODUCTION
I. I was 24 years old and going in and out of the hospital for the past 4 months. My wife was already six months pregnant with our first child and during those four months I went to the hospital more times then I been in my entire life. This time I was going to get answers and finally find out what was wrong with me and why am I having chest pain and my heart rate speeds up randomly. The doctor came in and told me that I have high blood pressure and pre-diabetic. This surprise me I was big guy but as a soldier I exercised 5 days week. This taught me you cannot out exercise a poor diet and how being overweight can affect your body regardless of age.

II. I am going to inform you about the effect of obesity and how proper nutrion and exceecise is the most of effective way to lose weight.

III. According to a study done by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention there are over 50 million and 15 percent of children are obese and overweight. Why is this important you might ask? According to the CDCP the estimated annual medical cost of obesity in the U.S. was $147 billion in the U.S.

IV. Obesity is second only to tobacco in the number of deaths it causes each year. Here are some of the diseases that have been linked to obesity: High Blood Pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, heart disease, cancer, backpain. Athiritis, Gallbladder disease and gallstones

BODY

I. What is obese and how do you determine if you obese or not?

Height Weight Range BMI Considered
5' 9" 124 lbs or less Below 18.5 Underweight 125 lbs. to 168 lbs 18.5 to 24.9 Healthy weight 169 lbs to 202 lbs 25.0 to 29.9 Overweight 203 lbs or more 30 or higher Obese

1. 1. The term medical term is a person who has a BMI of 30% or more. This is an accurate way of accessing if you are obese in some cases but, this does not take in account your build or muscle mass. For, example you have the chart above shows an example of an male at 5’9” 203 would be obese. But you also have an athlete such as Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch who is 5’11” 215 but has a body fat percentage of 10%. The best way to measure your if you are at a safe weight or not is to measure you waist size to your hieight. Your gold isholud be to have a waist size half your height in cenimeters. Below is a chart provided safedietplansforwomen.com asses your height to waist ratio I also used my own waist size and height as an example.

2. Calculate Your Waist To Height Ratio
3. To begin you need to measure your waist approximately one inch or one centimeter above your navel.
4. If you wear your clothes lower than that, then measure in that location and choose the larger of the two measurements, and input your waist and height measurements below:
5.
7. Waist To Height Ratio
8. Waist Size (inches or centimeters) 9.

10. Height (inches or centimeters) 11.

12. 13. %

15. Females:
16. Under 35% – Abnormally Slim To Underweight
17. 35% – 42% – Extremely Slim
18. 42% – 49% – Healthy
19. 49% – 54% – Overweight
20. 54% – 58% – Seriously Overweight
21. Over 58% – Extremely Obese
22. Males:
23. Under 35% – Abnormally Slim To Underweight
24. 35% – 43% – Extremely Slim
43% – 53% – Healthy
53% – 58% – Overweight
58% – 63% – Seriously Overweight
Over 63% – Extremely Obese

25. : Child hood Obesity
1. Over the last ten years type 2 once believed to affect only adults – is now being common among young people. In san Antonio almost half of the pediatric diabetes cases are type 2,when in the past the total was close to zero. Although childhood-onset Type 2 diabetes is still a rare condition, overweight children with this disease are at risk of suffering the serious complications of diabetes as adults, such as kidney disease, blindness, and amputations. Sixty-one percent of overweight 5- to10-year-olds already have at least one risk factor for heart disease, and 26% have two or more risk factors.as stay healthy.
2. The same enzyme in lactose intolerance medicine, which is the lactase enzyme, according to www.medicinenet.com, is also in raw milk through bacterial synthesis. That means that the same enzyme we have to take as a supplement to help lactose intolerant people drink regular milk is already present in raw milk, which means that you avoid getting sick.

26. Personal example: Rebekah Parker

Summary: So we can see how raw milk can be consumed by lactose intolerance people, and make them healthier, but now let’s consider its effect of diabetes.

II. Second, Raw Milk can help regulate, and prevent, diabetes without other medicine.
INSERT Visual Aid #4: Diabetes statistics.- Did you know that 25.8 million people in America have Diabetes in various stages? That’s over 8 percent of the population, which would mean that roughly 1 in 12 people have diabetes.
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, www.diabetes.niddk.nih.gov

A. Raw milk, in the pre-insulin days, was used to treat and control diabetes. In fact, sometimes this was the only treatment for diabetes in the older days, and it works, according to Dr. Tom Cowan, Holistic Family Medicine Physician in San Francisco, California. www.fourfoldhealing.com

B. I’ve seen it work: Lynn Parker. He was on a diet for years that consisted of raw milk daily until our milk cow died and we stopped drinking raw milk. A few months after that he went to the doctor because he felt bad and was diagnosed with Diabetes. Co-incidence that the disease never showed up until then? Also, his diabetes goes down to lower levels when we have raw milk, and has gone up 25 percent since we stopped milking our latest cow. Conclusive evidence?

C. Dr. J.E. Crewe from the Mayo Foundation in Rochester Minnesota presented these findings from his experiments to the Minnesota State Medical Society in 1923: One, that the key to the success in raw milk treatment of diseases (i.e.- diabetes) was not in milk, but RAW MILK.
“For fifteen years I have employed the so-called [raw] milk treatment in various diseases ... the results obtained in various types of illnesses have been so uniformly excellent that one's conception of disease and its alleviation is necessarily modified”
Certified Milk Magazine, January 1929
Seem out of date? His research was done using the same diseases we have now, only he tried to go natural first. He said this about the general view of raw milk’s benefits: “The method itself is so simple that it does not greatly interest medical men.”

Summary: It seems too simple, but raw milk really can help, and possibly cure diabetes, and that may be in part because raw milk is a cleaner product, as we will look at next.

III. Third, and finally, Raw milk is a cleaner and healthier product.

A. Somatic Cell Counts are lower because of FDA regulation requiring raw products to be around 250,000 cells lower than regular milk, but raw milk dairies are usually around a low and healthy 100,000 - 130,000 Somatic Cell count.

B. Infectious material cannot be hidden in raw milk, or destroyed by pasteurization.
INSERT Visual Aid #7- glasses of mastitis and milk

C. Parker Farms, owned by the Parker family, managed by Caroline Parker, goes through strict sanitation to avoid mastitis.
1. Pre-wash with warm water
2. Clorahexadine or Iodine pre-dip
3. Anti-bacterial wipes
4. Light bleach water sanitation for the milkers (the people, or a machine)
5. Fight- Bac
6. Post-dip
No person touches anything after sanitizing their hands; contamination of the bag requires re-sterilization. Summary: Raw milk is a cleaner product from healthier cattle, which in turn, makes a healthier human who consumes the milk.
CONCLUSION
I. Raw Milk comes from healthier cows, therefore is cleaner milk; it helps lactose intolerant people, and diabetics.

II. I hope that you would be willing to give raw milk a try. A raw milk dairy here in San Antonio is Miller Farms, owned by Eddie Miller, who I mentioned earlier. If you’d like to purchase raw milk you can find more information about him at www.millerfarmsrawmilk.com.

III. I told you about our friend who came out and ate ice cream with us. The next morning, when we called him, he was very sick. It would seem that raw milk doesn’t work, right? He had actually eaten ice cream with us before, and drinks milk from our cows all the time. When he came out that night though, he ate nothing but ice cream, and ate nearly the whole bucket of ice cream (a gallon) by himself. So, the moral of this story is this: while raw milk is good for you, eating a gallon will still make you sick.

IV. Thank you.
