To Dr Mercola : why animal proteins are killing cancer patients, specialy milk

May 21, 2009

I am Thankful to the group owner to allow me to post on this important subject.

ADDED VALUE TO OUR ANIMAL PROTEINS

OPINION:

How Milk that you promote, Dr Mercola, is killing cancer patients

-------------------

IS PUS A PLUS ?

What The Media Will Never Tell You:

Today, more than 200 known diseases are transmitted through food. The causes of

foodborne illness include viruses, bacteria, parasites, toxins, metals, and

prions. The symptoms of foodborne illness range from mild gastroenteritis to

life-threatening neurologic, hepatic, and renal syndromes. We estimate that

foodborne diseases cause approximately 76 million illnesses.

Three pathogens, Salmonella, Listeria, and Toxoplasma, are responsible for 75

percent of these deaths each year. Unknown agents account for the remaining 62

million illnesses. ( VERY, VERY FEW LABORATORIES ARE EQUIPPED TO FIND THE

SOURCE OF FOODBORNE ILLNESS)

Each year over 1.7 million Americans will get a drug-resistant infection from a

hospital and 100,000 of them will die. In the United States, more people die

from hospital infections than breast cancer and AIDS combined. This number is up

from 13,300 in 1992.

National Institute of Health.

Most People Get Staph Poisoning By Eating Contaminated Food:

• Meats.

• Poultry and egg products.

• Salads such as egg, tuna, chicken, potato, and macaroni.

• Bakery products such as cream-filled pastries, cream pies, etc.

• Sandwich fillings.

• Milk and dairy products.

Staph infections are especially through milk contaminated by cows affected with

mastitis, but usually the authorities will put the blame on the public, accusing

food handler contamination or improper cooking.

Mastering Mastitis: Mission Impossible

Due to the use of Bovine Growth Hormones more and more cows are suffering from

mastitis.

This is a contagious infection of the mammary gland, very painful for the cow

and also responsible for the high content of pus and antibiotics in milk.

The percent of cows culled for mastitis or other udder problems in 2002 was

26.9%.

FDA Veterinarian Medicine Appendix B :Overall Reproductive Efficiency and Health

Statistics for US Animal Agriculture.

Michael Hansen of Consumers Reports testified and brought it to the attention of

Congressional Committees that 52 drugs are known to be used as antibiotics to

treat mastitis (with no results in controlling the epidemic).

Epidemiological and Immunological Aspects of Cow's Milk Protein allergy and

Intolerance in Infancy. " Pediatric-Allergy-Immunology, August, 1994, 5(5 Suppl.)

What's In Milk?

Do you know what's in your milk? Check it out if you dare.

Pus a plus?

Researchers working for the National Mastitis Council define normal and abnormal

milk based on the number of pus cells. (1)

Less than 100 million cells per liter is normal (More than 750 million cells per

liter and the milk can't be exported, (nobody would want it anyway)

(1) Jim Dickrell March, 2001 issue of Dairy Today

(2) FDA

From research conducted by the USDA, the average content of pus in milk is 316

million pus cells instead of the so called " Normal level " of 100 million cells

per liter. A million here, a million there, too much pus for my taste.

Children and Milk

In the last edition of Dr. Benjamin Spock's Baby and Child Care, the world's

bestseller translated in more than 40 languages, which sold more than 50 million

copies, making it second in sales only to the Bible.

Dr. Spock, who died at the age of 94, advised: NO cow's milk or any other dairy

products for neither children nor adults.

Mother's milk, is nature's perfect food for babies under one year, and once a

child is over the age of two years, Dr. Spock advised a vegetarian diet,

eliminating meat and poultry and cutting down on fish.

Dr. Spock turned vegetarian in his old age, he knew the harmful effects of a

diet full of animal procucts. In fact, he attributes his health and old age to

the merit of a plant based diet.

Children can get plenty of protein and iron from vegetables, beans, and other

plant foods, in order to avoid the fat and cholesterol that are in animal

products. If you have any doubts, please read: Discoveries

" Most formula-fed infants developed symptoms of allergic rejection to cow milk

proteins before one month of age. About 50-70% experienced rashes or other skin

symptoms. "

Milk is also responsible in infants for:

50-60 percent of gastrointestinal problems.

20-30 percent of respiratory problems.

" Epidemiological and Immunological Aspects of Cow's Milk Protein ALLERGY and

Intolerance in Infancy. " Pediatric-Allergy-Immunology, August, 1994, 5(5 Suppl.)

The Leukemia Virus In Milk

The virus is supposed to be killed in pasteurization - if the pasteurization was

done correctly. " (1)

If not, leukemia is perfectly transmissible to humans. (2)

Unfortunately the pasteurization is not always done properly as we've seen in

several outbreaks of Salmonella (3)

(1) Hoard's Dairyman, (Volume 147, number 4) page 150

(2) Kradjian, M.D. Science 1981; 213:1014)

(3) Ryser RT 1998 Public Health Concern. Applied Dairy Microbiology page 263-404

What Nobody Will Ever Tell You:

That " 89% of America's dairy herds have the leukemia virus. "

Hoards Dairyman (Volume 147, number 4)

One recent study found the leukemia virus in the breast tissues of 10 out of 23

human breast cancer patients (1) (2)

There is also concern that pasteurization may break the viruses into fragments

that may become even more dangerous (3)

(1) GC Buehring, KY Choi and HM Jensen.. Breast Cancer Res 2001, 3 (Suppl 1

):A14

(2) Buehring GC Semin Cell Dev Biol 199735: 27A; Abstract V-1001

(3) Ferrer JF. Science. 1981 Aug 28;213(4511):1014-6

On a study of 257 humans, three-fourths (74%) of people were found to have been

infected with bovine leukemia viruses. (1)

This conclusion was based on the discovery of antibodies against this infectious

agent in the patients' blood.

(1)BerkeleyBuehring GC, Philpott SM, Choi KY. Humans have antibodies reactive

with Bovine leukemia virus. AIDS Res Hum Retroviruses. 2003 Dec;19(12):1105-13.

BIV - Bovine AIDS

In the United States, 40% of beef herds and 64% of dairy herds are infected with

BIV (Bovine AIDS)

Bovine leukemia and Bovine AIDS can infect other animals like sheep, goats, pets

and chimpanzees.

Gonda M. Bovine immunodeficiency virus. AIDS. 1992 Aug (8):759-76

OFFICIALLY, SO FAR, ONE PERSON WAS FOUND TO BE INFECTED WITH BOVINE AIDS

Jacobs RM.. Can J Vet Res. 1992 Oct;56(4):353-9

Listeria

It is a bacteria responsible for listeriosis and a rare but lethal food-borne

infection that has a devastating mortality rate of 25%. (1)

Foods that have sometimes caused outbreaks of Listeria: Hot dogs, deli meats,

raw milk, cheeses (particularly soft-ripened cheeses (2)

(1)Wikkipedia

(2)Center for Science in the Public Interest

As usual, authorities try to put the blame on the public like they permanently

do with cancer, coronary heart disease, diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure

and others diseases of affluence.

Here are the usual recommendations of the FDA to prevent listeriosis,

Salmonella, E. Coli and others bacteria:

• Store ready-to-eat foods at 40 degrees Fahrenheit or lower--use a refrigerator

thermometer to check the temperature.

• Use perishable and ready-to-eat foods as soon as possible.

• Clean the refrigerator regularly.

• Clean: Wash hands and surfaces often with hot, soapy water. Always wash hands,

cutting boards, dishes, and utensils with hot, soapy water after they come in

contact with raw food.

• Separate: Do not cross-contaminate. Keep uncooked foods separate from

vegetables, fruits, breads, and other foods that are already prepared for

eating.

• Cook: Cook to safe temperatures. If you are at risk for listeriosis, reheat

luncheon meats, cold cuts, and other deli-style meat and poultry until they are

steaming hot.

• Chill: Refrigerate or freeze perishables, including ready-to-eat foods,

promptly.

• Do not eat hot dogs and luncheon meats, unless they are reheated until

steaming hot.

• Do not eat soft cheese such as feta, brie, and Camembert, blue-veined cheeses,

queso blanco, queso fresco, and Panela unless it is labeled as made with

pasteurized milk.

• Do not eat refrigerated pâtés or meat spreads, canned or shelf-stable pâtés

and meat spreads may be eaten.

• Do not eat refrigerated smoked seafood, unless it is contained in a cooked

dish, such as a casserole. Refrigerated smoked seafood, such as salmon, trout,

whitefish, cod, tuna, or mackerel, is most often labeled as " nova-style, " " lox, "

" kippered, " " smoked, " or " jerky. " These fish are found in the refrigerated

section or sold at deli counters of grocery stores and delicatessens.

• Canned or shelf-stable smoked seafood may be eaten.

• Do not drink un-pasteurized milk or eat foods that contain un-pasteurized

milk.

• Keeping ready-to-eat foods cold is key to reducing listeriosis, a serious

infection in humans.

My Comments:

By the way, in case researchers of the FDA were not aware, Listeria survives

perfectly through refrigeration.

Yingchan Han Purdue food science researcher published in Food Microbiology,

Purdue's Center for Food Safety Engineering includes nearly 90 university

scientist

Maybe it is time to start providing patients and the public with real

information and not with condescending advice.

It is time to stop looking at the public as ignorant, pathetic, or powerless.

To prevent Listeriosis and other Foodborne Illnesses, we have to go to the roots

of the problem, to the food, to our farming and sanitary laws. Telling people

" to eat canned, smoked and shelf-stable smoked seafood " is not a solution, it is

an insult to the intelligence of the public.

The USDA's own publication, reported that " heavily contaminated flocks may

result in a contamination rate of 100 percent for finished products. " USDA Food

Safety Review.

==================================================================

A very small number of laboratories nationwide are equipped and have the

knowledge to deal with new strains of bacteria. Like new staph , flu and

e-coli.

'Most bacteria have not been characterized, and only about half of the phyla of

bacteria have species that can be grown in laboratory.

There are typically 40 million bacterial cells in a gram of soil.'

There are approximately ten times as many bacterial cells in the human flora of

bacteria as there are human cells in the body

(wikipedia)

Our wonderful self healing immune system know how to deal with bacteria. What it

don't know : is to deal with the new super bugs, king Kong size monsters

resulting from our uses of antibiotics designed to help us humans to fight

disease used on a daily base in animal farming. Now we created new monsters that

are unmanageable.

The last thing that a cancer patient needs is to have to fight one of theses

while he / she is trying to get well !!

===================================================================

Note :I will not enter in a debate on animal protein , been there, done that;

unless I am officially authorized by the group owner.

English is not my first language (my fifth) but I am always willing to enter in

a good debate even if it is very difficult for me ( speelling problems :-) ).

I am cautious now, I have been censored in another so called " cancer forum "

for the same information that I am providing here. I am not eagerly willing to

experience again censorship when I am winning a debate. Medical dictatorship =

sick population.

shaman,

Sheer poppycock. I live in California where raw milk has been sold

for many years in health food stores and farmers markets.... not one case of

any of the diseases you mentioned has happened... not one in millions of

users. Raw milk does contain alot of beneficial bacteria and immune

boosters which prevent disease, not cause it. If it is produced in

unsanitary conditions and is allowed to spoil then you might be on to

something, but the farmers who produce this here are reputable and

responsible.

To Dr Mercola : why animal proteins are killing

cancer patients, specialy milk

OPINION :

Here a small list of what you can get from drinking raw milk

--------------------------

Bacterias and Virus

Examples of pathogens isolated from raw milk or linked to

outbreaks/illnesses.

Google this before you drink raw milk.. Here we are not talking about ear

infection, but about some very painful condition and with sometimes

irreversible consequences. Is it worth to take a chance ?/! You tell me !

Brucella: Mortality is low (<2%), and is usually associated with

endocarditis.

Campylobacter : may develop a rare disease called Guillain-Barré syndrome

that affects the nerves of the body beginning several weeks after the

diarrheal illness, irreversible.

Coxiella burnetii (Q fever) : " Surgery to remove damaged valves may be

required for some cases of C. burnetii endocarditis "

Cryptosporidium : " People with weakened immune systems may develop serious,

chronic, and sometimes fatal illness. "

E. coli O157/EHEC : " that cause severe human diseases, including bloody

diarrhea and hemolytic uremic syndrome "

Listeria monocytogenes : " When infection occurs during pregnancy,

antibiotics given promptly to the pregnant woman can often prevent infection

of the fetus or newborn.

Babies with listeriosis receive the same antibiotics as adults, although a

combination of antibiotics is often used until physicians are certain of the

diagnosis. Even with prompt treatment, some infections result in death "

Mycobacterium bovis (Bovine tuberculosis) : " Mycobacterium bovis is the

causative agent of tuberculosis "

Salmonella enterica : " A small number of persons with Salmonella develop

pain in their joints, irritation of the eyes, and painful urination. This is

called Reiter's syndrome. It can last for months or years, and can lead to

chronic arthritis which is difficult to treat "

Salmonella typhi (Typhoid fever) : " Even if your symptoms seem to go away,

you may still be carrying S. Typhi . If so, the illness could return, or you

could pass the disease to other people "

Shigella : " Once someone has had shigellosis, they are not likely to get

infected with that specific type again for at least several years. However,

they can still get infected with other types of Shigella "

Staphylococcal enterotoxins : Staphylococcal toxins are fast acting,

sometimes causing illness in as little as 30 minutes. Symptoms usually

develop within one to six hours after eating contaminated food. Patients

typically experience several of the following: nausea, vomiting, stomach

cramps, and diarrhea "

Steptococcus : " Death occurs in 14% of hospitalized adults with invasive

disease. Neurologic sequelae occur in meningitis patients. "

Tick-borne encephalitis virus : " Although TBE is most commonly recognized

as a neurologic disease, mild febrile illnesses can also occur. Long-lasting

or permanent neuropsychiatric sequelae are observed in 10-20% of infected

patient "

Toxoplasma : " Toxoplasmosis is considered to be the third leading cause of

death attributed to foodborne illness in the United States. More than 60

million men, women, and children in the U.S. carry the Toxoplasma parasit "

Yersinia enterocolitica : " Most infections are uncomplicated and resolve

completely. Occasionally, some persons develop joint pain, most commonly in

the knees, ankles or wrist "

=================================

Also LEUKEMIA,NON HODGKIN'S LYMPHOMA AND SOME HERPES VIRUS that survive

perfectly pasteurization . pasteurization is not a sterilization !!

=================================

Antibiotics

================================

Growth hormones. BGH (rBGH) which increased risk of serous ovarian cancer.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15531686

=================================

Regarding the Budwig Diet I believe that the benefits outcomes the risk for

people who are not milk intolerant.

================================================================

I will not enter in a debate on this subject unless officialy authorized by

the group owner.

Bob, Have you seen the study that was published about Mark McAffe's (owner of Organic Pastures) milk? All of his samples were analyzed by an independent lab for any pathogens. They all came back at 0, and to date no samples of his raw milk have ever tested positive. Well to take the argument further, the lab actually added strains of listeria, salmonella, E-coli 0157, and Campylobacter at very high levels to his raw milk. None of the pathogens were able to grow and within 24 hours the beneficial bacteria were able to produce a complete die-off of those 4 pathogens. A few years later, UC Davis came out and tested samples of his herd's manure. The entire herd was clean for any traces of E-Coli 0157.

I have treated many farming families during my career. I can't recall one dairy farmer that ever opted to buy "store bought" milk. They simply kept their fridges stocked from the bulk tank. You would think that if dairy farmers and especially their kids were dropping like flies from drinking raw milk we might hear about it in the news. What we have heard about in the news quite frequently is all of the infectious outbreaks of the 4 above mentioned pathogens plus Hepatitis coming from none other than vegetables. Spinach, lettuce, peppers, and tomatoes are the biggest ones coming to mind. I'm not trying to condem veggies and argue that one should forgo all of those. What I am trying to point out is that ANYTHING has the potential to cause harm. The environment is which our food

is produce or raised is everything. One last point, have you read the book, "Milk Diet: As A Remedy For Chronic Disease" by Dr. Charles Porter, M.D. The copyright on it had expired so Heather Zimmerman (a humble Mom from Wisconsin had it republish). With this book, she was able to cure her 4 year old daughter from severe asthma. Dr. Porter established a hospital in Rochester, MN (the same hospital that went on to become the Mayo Clinic) where patients would come to stay and receive "The Milk Cure". Patients consumed mainly raw milk, fermented raw milk, and colostrum. During the 41 years of his professional practice, he cured or relieved more than 18,000 people using this simple food. He treated all forms of heart disease, high blood pressure, obesity, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Chronic Inflammation, every type of digestive disorder, diabetes, diseases of the kidneys, asthma,

allergies. But this was not the only physician accomplishing these results. Many other physicians from Germany, Russia, Scotland, England, and across the United States were seeing the same results.
