Here's a citation.
The working hypothesis is that innocuous cowshed microbes, plant material and raw milk protect farming children by favorably stimulating their immune systems throughout life, particularly early on. That spring morning, Dr. Holbreich gave me a tour of the bonanza of immune stimuli under consideration.
Here's another article on Amish kids about the same study as ABC roped of the new york times

That's the same article I presented to you, which clearly states that everything that goes into growing up on a farm early in life benefits a person's immune system. The second link is actually purposely distorting an article that (again) I linked you to already. Both of those studies references can be found in my previous post.
Again, something that tests raw milk, specifically raw milk, and shows it's benefits. I've seen nothing from you yet. To say raw milk helps with allergies, it has to be beneficial on it's own, the "farm effect" aside.
There is, once again, no scientific evidence showing a link between the consumption of raw milk and allergy-fighting abilities.
It's part of an entire puzzle, but useless by itself. If you're advocating everyone grow up on a farm to fight allergies, then yes, evidence supports that.
Saying raw milk helps with allergies is like saying hay from a barn helps with allergies. By itself, it does not. If you disagree, I would implore you to ask any sufferer of "outdoor" allergies to go into a barn and stir up the hay bed, and then tell me how much better their allergies get.

Over 60 references and we finally got to one that has relevance to some of the claims you're making, haha.
