Pasteurization, kangaroos and raw eggs
By R.M.R.
This is a strange combination but it has saved the lives of many orphan kangaroos in
Australia. Every day many kangaroos are hit and killed on the roads of Australia in the
out-back areas.
Kangaroos are easily dazzled by the lights of a car at night and will quite often hop headlong
into the pathway of the car. This is why so many of them are killed on the roads and are
frequently females who are carrying a young kangaroo (Joey) in their pouch.
Kangaroos tend to always be with a Joey in their pouch during the greater part of their lives, once they become mature they are prolific in this way. It has been the custom for Australians to rescue the Joey if the mother is killed, because otherwise their Joey just sits next to its dead mother until it dies. Women and girls in particular take them home and nurse them on a baby bottle until they are mature enough to return to the wild. If the family and many do in the country areas there is no problem and the Joey thrives. However, on pasteurised milk, the Joey soon develops digestive problems and dies.
Experience has taught these families who adopt a Joey that it is cruel to use pasteurised milk as they suffer terribly before they die. The solution is to add the yolk of an egg to the milk. All mother’s milk contains colostrum whether it is human animal or bird. Pasteurised milk does not have live colostrum [1] but eggs do. Birds may not have milk or breasts that deliver it but it is available as part of the yolk and the baby bird receives it during the incubation period as it is developing, that is why eggs are such a good food and all of nature knows it.
So when you add the yolk to denatured lifeless milk that has been given the UHT treatment or irradiated (irradiation or pasteurisation are both allowed) it becomes a life giving food again and the baby kangaroo can survive and grow quite healthily on it.
Many kangaroos are saved in this way. At first we didn’t realise that it was the pasteurised milk that was so denatured that was killing the Joey, but it has long been an Australian custom in the outback to have a liquid meal when time is short and it was only a matter of time before the eggnog was discovered to be the answer.
Children and adults who do not thrive on milk that has been subjected to high temperatures or irradiation can often do very well on an eggnog or shake of milk, egg and banana, honey, cocoa or cream, etc. as a flavouring. This is just one of the ways we can protect ourselves from low nutrition foods.
[1] Colostrum: is a form of milk produced by the mammary glands of mammals in late pregnancy. Colostrum contains antibodies to protect the newborn against disease, as well as being higher in fat and protein than ordinary milk.
