To put it in technical terms: use bigger numbers.

It does.

You only scatter red light, green and blue are unaffected by this media 
(though your pigment filters them out). When I'm doing an object that is 
mainly colored by its interior, I use a pigment of rgbf 1. Yours filters 
everything red. In addition, your extinction is set to 0, this media 
won't impede light passing through it. And you don't have anything else 
in your scene. I'm not really sure what effect you're after, you're 
certainly not going to get anything like milk with that. Your density 
pattern has so much fine detail that you are going to require a lot of 
sampling to get decent results, even after scaling it up by 10.
