NOTMILK - Illegal Monsanto Antibiotic Found In Slaughtered Cows

 

 

Illegal Monsanto Antibiotic Found In Slaughtered Cows

 

Point #1

 

In America, it is illegal to treat lactating dairy cows

with an antibiotic called LS-50.

 

Point #2

 

The most commonly found antibiotic residue in meat

from slaughtered dairy cows is LS-50.

 

Point #3

 

New strains of bacteria causing new emerging diseases (such

as E. coli 157:H7, VRE or Vancomycin Resistant Enterococci,

and Staphylococcus aureus-MRSA) have developed immunities to

antibiotic treatment. Some consumers ingest these pathogens

and become ill, unable to be cured by overused antibiotics

which no longer work. The above 3 points represent a formula

that seems to be beyond the grasp of FDA and USDA

understanding.

 

This is the story of two federal agencies which protect

the interests of dairy and meat producers, while ignoring

health concerns of American consumers.

 

This is also the story of a pharmaceutical company that

violates the spirit of the law, and in doing so, encourages

dairy farmers to treat milk-producing creatures with a

drug that was never intended to be used on cows. That drug

leaves residues in milk and compromises human safety.

 

LS-50 is an antimicrobial made up of two other antibiotics,

Lincomycin and Spectinomycin. LS-50 is a powerful drug,

traditionally used on chickens. You can purchase LS-50

on the Internet from companies marketing it as " the best

treatment for bovine respiratory diseases. " Less than one

teaspoon of this powder is added to a gallon of water, and

given to the infected cow each day for 7-10 days. A 2.65 oz.

bag offered for sale for just $33.50.

 

Dairy farmers also use LS-50 to treat a condition called

footwarts. Very unpleasant. Very illegal. The category of

mycins that include LS-50 carry serious restrictions and

warnings regarding their use. FDA relies upon a manual called

the " Green Book " in setting antibiotic standards.

 

Remembering that LS-50 is composed of Lincomycin and

Spectinomycin, I first looked up the files on every single

variation of Lincomycin approved by the FDA. There are

actually 49 different antibiotic drugs permitted for animal

use. Without exception, each and every one of those drugs

has been approved for either chickens or swine weighing

under 250 pounds. None have been approved for cattle or

dairy cows. There are 21 different manufacturers listed for

the 49 different drugs. One name stands out, owning 18 of

those 49, Pharmacia-Upjohn. That is the new name for

Monsanto.

 

It seems that they changed the name, but their game remains

the same. When it comes to compromising human health,

Monsanto sits at the leading edge of biotechnological

deception.

 

The second category of drugs were the Spectinomycins. There

were just ten of these, and Pharmacia-Upjohn/Monsanto owned

three of them.

 

There on the list was Monsanto's LS-50, and here is the

warning for use of that drug, as written in FDA's Green Book:

 

" Species: chicken up to seven days old. Limitations: can be

used in cattle, calves excluding veal calves, dairy cows

excluding female breeding age animals. Do not use in female

dairy cattle 20 months of age or older. Use in this class of

cattle may cause residues in milk. Federal law restricts

this drug to use by or on the order of a licensed

veterinarian. "

 

Today, Americans eat and drink a drug that taints our dairy

supply. They consume a drug that compromises their bodies.

That drug is being illegally used. Can we one day build enough

jail cells for all of Monsanto's crimes against humanity?

 

I would offer you names of FDA and USDA regulators, but

I will not, for to contact them is an exercise in futility.

I will no longer play a role in making you feel better by

writing or calling those people who are working against you.

Do yourself and your friends and family a favor. Avoid those

products containing poisons. Take back your health. Never

again place your future health in the hands of the deceivers.
