What is Mad Cow Disease?
Mad Cow Disease is the common term for Bovine Spongiform Encepholopathy (BSE),
a progressive neurological disorder of cattle which can be transmitted to other
species, including humans. In humans, it is called Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease,
after the two doctors who first described the symptoms of the disease.
The disease in cattle is called Bovine Spongiform Encepholopathy because this
form of the disease occurs in cows (therefore, the term bovine), it causes a
sponge-like destruction of the brain (therefore, the term spongiform
encepholopathy - enceph means brain and pathy means pathology -
meaning an abnormality).
What are the symptoms of Mad Cow Disease?
Symptoms include an excitable or nervous temperament to external stimuli such
as touch to the skin, a progressive unsteadiness of gait resulting eventually
in the inability to stand up. The disease is virtually 100% fatal.
The human equivalent of Mad Cow Disease, Cruetzfeldt-Jakob Disease, causes
memory loss, emotional instability including inappropriate outbursts, an
unsteady gait, progressing to marked weakness, severe rapidly progressive
dementia and death, often within a year of the onset of symptoms.
What is the cause of Mad Cow Disease?
Currently the most accepted theory is that the causative agent is a modified
form of a normal cell surface protein called a prion (pronounced PREE-ON)
protein.
Where did Prions come from? Are they a type of virus or bacteria? What are
they?
A prion is neither a virus nor a bacteria. Prions are proteins that contain no
DNA or RNA, two substances previously felt to be essential for reproduction of
a living tissue.
Prions are normal constituents of the body when in their normal form or
conformation, but they can become twisted in a conformational change ( a change
in shape - in the way the molecule is folded), and then they are thought to
cause disease.
How long ago were Prions discovered?
In 1997, Stanley Prusiner, M.D., a professor of neurology at the University of
California, San Francisco School of Medicine, won the Nobel Prize for his
discovery of prions, “tiny protein molecules that seem to cause a variety of
slow acting - and inevitably fatal - diseases in animals and humans; the name
is an acronym for “proteinaceous infectious particles.”
But the diseases found in association with these tiny protein molecules have
been known for over 50 years. In fact, the prion, as it has been named by Dr.
Prusiner, may well have been discovered over 150 years ago, and re-discovered,
every 25-50 years since then, by different scientists who gave the molecule
different names.
Prions exist, but it is extremely doubtful that the Prion is the “CAUSE” of ANY
disease. Prions are much more likely to be the “RESULT” of a sick and dying
body. Prions are most probably a RESPONSE to the illness that was actually
CAUSED by a grossly improper diet and other unhealthy lifestyle factors. “Factory
farming” of animals, with the massive use of hormones, pesticides and other
harmful substances destroy the animal's immune system. When these diseased
animals are eaten by people, then the people get sick and die.
When the animal's immune system is suppressed because of a violation of the
immutable natural health laws that govern the health of both animals and man,
then the body produces the agent necessary to clean out the mess of dead and
dying tissue resulting from the violation of these health laws.
You see, these supposed “infective agents” such as bacteria, viruses, fungi,
and now Prions, are NOT the CAUSE of the diseases, they are the RESULT of a
diseased body caused by the wrong diet and lifestyle. These bacteria, viruses,
fungi and prions are actually the “clean-up crew”, formed by the body, to get
rid of the mess and clean out the body.
We have been taught that germs CAUSE disease. But germs DON'T cause disease
anymore than flies cause garbage! This is explained in detail on my video ”Drugs NEVER Cure Disease.”
Flies DON'T cause garbage - Garbage attracts flies! A dead animal in the road
attracts vultures!! Vultures don't attract dead animals. It's the same
situation in the body. When there is dead and dying tissue in the body, caused
by an improper diet and lifestyle, the “clean-up crew is called in to get rid
of the problem. The body can produce its own “cleansing”
agents (such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and prions) when the need arises. Or
these agents can be transmitted from others, or, as in the case of Mad Cow
Disease, by humans ingesting prions by eating the flesh of the cow or other
infected animal. When these agents start cleaning out the toxins in the body,
the toxins are dumped into the blood stream to be filtered and eliminated from
the body. These toxins then cause symptoms which the doctor diagnoses as “disease”
and the doctor then NAMES the disease according to the symptoms it produces.
The medical and pharmaceutical establishment then tries to produce a DRUG to
STOP the cleansing process, in order to STOP the patient's uncomfortable
symptoms. But the drug NEVER cures the “disease” - it just stops the cleansing
process so the patient's body remains sick and filled the toxins, even though
the patient may feel somewhat better - at least for a time.
If a person's immune system is healthy because he has been eating and living
properly, he has no need to produce these cleansing agents and will not be
susceptible to them. But if his body contains dead and dying cells and tissue
from an improper diet and lifestyle, then these agents have a field day. As
they “clean out” the “garbage” in the body, the effect can be so severe, that
the patient actually dies.
So these tiny infective agents can either be produced by the body itself, or
transmitted or ingested into the body from the outside.
In the 1800's, Antoine Bechamp, a French physician and professor of
biochemistry at a prestigious University medical school in France discovered a
tiny particle that he named microzymas. He found that these tiny bodies could
change from one shape or form into another shape or form, depending on the
condition of the person's immune system.
About 70 years ago, an extraordinary scientist-inventor, Royal Rife, built
possibly the world's greatest microscope and observed what Bechamp had
discovered, that these tiny bodies could change shape and form. A bacteria
could actually become a virus or a fungus, due to a conformational change.
In the last 40 years, Dr. Virgina Livingston, a physician, a professor at
Rutgers University and an outstanding cancer researcher, discovered these same
tiny bodies.
More recently, Gaston Naessens, a brilliant chemist and physicist now living
and working in Montreal, Quebec, Canada built a super specialized microscope
for studying these tiny living organisms, which he named somatids. Over years
of careful microscopic observation and laboratory experimentation, Naessens
went on to discover that if and when the immune system of an animal or human
being becomes weakened or destabilized (by violating the 10 natural laws of
health), the normal three-stage cycle of the somatid goes through thirteen
additional successive growth stages, each form evolving into the next by
conformational changes.
For more information on this subject, see my video ”Sorting Through the Maze of Alternative Medicine: What
Works, What Doesn't and Why“ where
I discuss this subject in more detail and show graphics of the life cycle of
the somatid. I also reveal how you can eat and live so you will NOT be affected
by these and other presumed infectious agents.
How do you know that the Prion, recently
discovered by Dr. Prusiner is the same molecule as the somatid or the microzyma
as named by the previous discoverers?
ANSWER:
1: It behaves in the same way. It produces symptoms - “disease” - in a person
whose immune system has been suppressed by violation of the natural health laws
(improper diet and lifestyle).
2: It is found in contact with diseased tissue. (Scientists think that because a
prion is found in CONTACT with diseased tissue, that the Prion is the CAUSE of
the disease. But, in fact, it is the RESULT of the diseased tissue and NOT the
CAUSE!)
3: Prions, somatids and microzymas have virtually the same physical
characteristics - they CANNOT BE DESTROYED. There is NO WAY to kill them.
Prions are NOT DESTROYED by fire, nor by
freezing, nor by disinfectants, nor by operating room sterilization procedures,
nor by incineration, nor by intense radiation.
In fact, scientists and government agencies HAVE NOT
FOUND ANY WAY TO DESTROY THEM!!
Grinding up the dead cows and other animals who have died from Mad Cow
disease, and then incinerating them WILL NOT KILL the Prion!!
How did this whole mess get started?
Over 30 years ago, cattle and sheep ranchers and other producers of animals to
be slaughtered and used for food, started “factory-farming” - raising the
animals in penned areas, in very close quarters, and feeding them hormones and
other chemical to fatten them up faster for market . They had to give them huge
amounts of antibiotics because the animals became so sick so easily because of
their terrible living conditions.. (Their Immune Systems were NOT working
right.)
The ranchers also cut costs by feeding their animals ground-up dead animals,
animals that have died of disease - as well as humane society animals, cats and
dogs that have been euthanized. ALSO being used as feed were road-kill and
offal, parts of the animals not fit for human consumption. This process of
grinding up diseased, dead animals for feed for other animals is called “rendering.”
But sheep and cows are herbivores - vegetarians. They are supposed to graze -
to eat grass. They are NOT meat eaters. Their intestines and body systems
cannot stay healthy when they are fed the wrong diet, especially when the
ground up dead animals used for food, died from disease!
The equivalent disease in sheep is called “scrapie” because the diseased sheep
scrape themselves against fences and other objects until they injure themselves.
They develop other neurologic disorders and eventually die - - - and THEN, the
ranchers grind them up and feed them to cows, chickens, pigs (and other animals
to be used for human consumption) and call the “feed” High Protein Pellets!
Then when the cows get sick and die from this horrible practice, they grind
them up and feed THEM to OTHER cows and other types of animals being raised for
human consumption.
What diseases in humans are associated with
Prions?
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) has been diagnosed in many countries in the
world, including the United States.
Kuru, a neurologic disease, very much like CJD, has been present in New Guinea
for many years. It appears to be associated with cannibalism.
Gerstmann-Straussler-Scheinker (GSS) disease is manifested as a very unsteady
gait plus other signs of damage to the cerebellum - a specific area of the
brain. The symptoms are very much like CJD. GSS is also fatal.
Fatal familial insomnia in which dementia follows difficulty sleeping.
Are sheep and cows the only animals affected?
No. This same “feed” made of ground-up dead, diseased animals has been fed, and
is still being fed, to other animals being raised for human consumption,
including chickens and pigs. Also deer, elk and mink have been found to have
the disease.
What countries have been affected by Mad Cow Disease?
The UK has been severely affected. Germany, Italy and many other countries have
also been affected.
Is Mad Cow Disease in the U.S.?
The Government says there is no problem with Mad Cow Disease in the U.S.
However, they admit that cows in this country have already been diagnosed with
Mad Cow Disease. And there are also THOUSANDS of “Downer Cows” in this country,
cows that are well one day and dead the next. When these “Downer Cows” are
ground up and fed to other animals, the other animals develop the equivalent of
Mad Cow Disease.
So the government, as always, is talking out of both sides of their mouth. They
are protecting the gigantic billion dollar meat and poultry industry rather
than the American people.
What is the government doing to stop this
dangerous feeding practice?
They're approaching it the same way they have handled the AIDS epidemic:
They LIE!
1. First, they deny that there is ANY problem.
2. When the evidence becomes overwhelming that there is a BIG problem, they admit
that there “might” be a problem, but they say they're not sure, they are
studying it and if there is a problem, it's not a serious problem and there is
no reason for alarm. Keep eating what you're eating, they advise.
3. When people start catching on that there really is a problem, the government
will admit that at first they weren't as vigilant as they should of been, but
the people who were then responsible for investigating the problem are no
longer with the government (blame those guys - they're gone) and now the
problem is “under control.” And there is no cause for alarm. Keep eating the
stuff, they advise you.
4. A number of years later they say, “Oh, we've found out that there really has
been a pretty big problem all along, but NOW we've got it under control. So
there is NO cause for alarm.” Keep eating the stuff, they advise you.
5 Then a year or two later they admit that it's in ALL the different breeds of
animals, but it's “low risk” and you probably won't get it so NO cause for
alarm.” Keep eating the stuff, they advise you.
6. When the problem continues to grow, they start dividing the Prion diseases
into different categories so no one specific category has too many people in
it.
7. When the problem becomes outrageous, they admit there's a small, but
controllable problem, and then they start covering up the true statistics - the
REAL number of people who have the disease or who have already died from the
disease.
Their plan
ALWAYS is to keep the public calm as they die!
Would the
government REALLY LIE to us?
What is the evidence for a cover-up in Mad Cow
Disease?
1. As of Jan 6, 2001, the Centers for Disease Control, a government Public
Health organization, published on their web site: “BSE has not been shown to
exist in the United States.” “According to the Animal and Plant Health
Inspection Services of the United States Dapartment of Agriculture, BSE has NOT
been detected in the United States, despite active surveillance efforts for
several years.” However, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) DOES NOT
actively monitor the disease!
The REAL truth is: “A year before BSE was even reported in Britain in 1985,
Richard Marsh, Chairman of the Department of Veterinary Science at the
University of Wisconsin-Madison, was alerting dairy practitioners of the
possibility that a “previously unrecognized scrapie-like disease in cattle”
existed in the United States. The clue came in 1981 when “Mad Mink Disease”
wiped out a population of minks in Wisconsin who hadn't eaten any sheep at all.
The meat portion of their diet consisted almost exclusively of dairy cattle
called “Downers,” an industry term describing cows which collapse for unknown
reasons and are too sick to stand up.
BUT - the beef industry claims that “Downer Cows” DO NOT have Mad Cow Disease!
YET - when these Downer Cows were ground up and fed to mink - the mink
DEVELOPED “Mad Mink Disease!”
In June 1992, a USDA consultant group decided that changes in the research
program to accommodate the possibility that BSE was already present in the U.S.
were, “not appropriate at this time.” The panel that made this decision
included representatives of the National Milk Producers Federation, the
National Renderers Association, the American Sheep Industry Association and the
National Cattlemen's Association.
(By the way, Beef is the largest revenue
source for American agriculture nationwide. It is a $150 billion
dollar industry. Since the FDA protects the pharmaceutical industry, the very
industry that it's supposed to police, why wouldn't the USDA (U.S. Dept. of
Agriculture) protect the Beef and Sheep Industry, even though the USDA is
supposed to CONTROL it?)
According to the USDA, “virtually all U.S. feed manufacturers use meat and bone
meal in their feeds” and most U.S. cattle are fed such rendered animal tissues.
In 1989 alone the U.S. rendered two million tons of cattle for use primarily in
animal feed and pet food. There has been a substantial increase in the use of
animal protein in commercial dairy feed since 1987.
Dr. Gibbs, who recently chaired a World Health Organization investigation into
the disease says “Do I believe BSE is here in the U.S., of course I do,” Gibbs
made this admission at a University of Wisconsin symposium.
With more than two decades of prion research behind him, Dr. Stanely Prusiner,
the scientist who coined the term “prion” and received the Nobel Prize for his
work, agrees that Mad Cow Disease MUST be present in the U.S.”
In late 1978, Dr. Masuo Doi, a veterinarian with the Food Safety and Quality
Service, studied a disorder in some young hogs that had arrived at a Packing
Plant in Albany, N.Y. from several Midwestern states. The USDA's pathologist
reported that the damage in the pig's brain was similar to the damage observed
in the brains of sheep afflicted with scrapie, essentially the same disease as
Mad Cow Disease (BSE) in cows.
Finally, the FDA drafted a rule that would ban the fortifying of animal feeds
with “any Mammalian tissue.” However, the FDA has played a taxonomical shell
game by ARBITRARILY REMOVING PIGS FROM THE CLASS OF “MAMMALIA.” They declared
that a pig is NOT a mammal!
A single teaspoon of ingested high infectivity meat and bone meal is thought to
be enough to cause BSE in a cow.
“One hundred thousand cows per year in the United States are fine at night, but
dead in the morning. The majority of those cows are rounded up, ground up, fed
back to other cows. If only one of them has Mad Cow disease, it has the
potential to infect thousands.” says Howard Lyman, Cattle Rancher for 40 years.
Mad Cow
Risks were First Reported in the United States in 1976!!
“Health experts...knew of the potential dangers of contaminated human growth
hormone years before the first Creutzfeldt-Jakob death occurred and
experimental programs halted, British court documents reveal. Correspondence
dating from the mid- '70s presented to a British judicial inquiry reveal a
paper trail betwen the United States National Institutes of Health and the
British Government indicating the infectiousness was foreseen,” the Los Angeles
Times reports.
“Moreover, a safer method for purifying human growth hormone drugs had long
been available, but scientists involved in the experiments had ignored it in
favor of a cheaper, less labor-intensive option.”
In 1989 alone almost 800 million pounds of processed animals were fed to beef
and dairy cattle in the U.S.. The USDA has conceded that “the potential risk of
amplification of the BSE agent is much greater in the United States” than in
Britain.
In 1995 five million tons of processed slaughterhouse leftovers were sold for
animal feed in the United States.
Rendering is a $2.4 billion-a-year industry. “There is simply no such thing in
America as an animal too ravaged by disease, too cancerous, or too putrid to be
welcomed by the embracing arms of the renderer. In addition to diseased farm
animals, the city of Los Angeles sends some two hundred tons of euthanized cats
and dogs to a rendering plant every month. Added to the blend are the
euthanized catch of animal control agencies and roadkill” according to Howard
Lyman, a cattle rancher for 40 years. This is the food fed to the animals that
YOU EAT!
In the U.S. the rendering industry promised to stop feeding sheep brains to
cows years ago; the FDA confirmed that this ban failed.
Unfortunately just about everybody lies. “British government officials misled
the public for years over the dangers of British beef and the risk of “mad cow”
(BSE) disease spreading to humans,” according to Reuters wire service.
“UK Physicians Told Not to Tell Hemophilia Patients of Possible CJD Blood
Concerns.”
“Mad Cow - BSE- CJD Now Likely to Be a Global Infection” according to New
Scientist journal.
BSE has infected a dozen species of animals which presumably ate infected
tissue.
Is Cow's milk safe? What about cheese?
Although there is a case description in the New England Journal of Medicine
(1992) in which colostrum from a Creutzfeldt-Jakob diseased woman was found to
be infectious to mice, cow's milk is considered “safe” by the World Health
Organization.
In the largest known U.S. outbreak of cases of CJD to date, in Pennsylvania's
Lehigh Valley, the disease was linked to, among other things, cheese
consumption.
What about other animals? Are they infected too?
Paul Brown, medical director for the U.S. Public Health Service, believes that
pigs and poultry could be harboring BSE and passing it on to humans, adding
that pigs are especially sensitive to the disease.
Two epidemiological studies found pork to be a dietary risk factor in
Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD).
The most common misdiagnosis of CJD is Alzheimer's disease.
How can Prions be destroyed?
They
CAN'T!
The English government destroyed over 4.5 million cattle and incinerated them
at a temperature of 1100 degrees centigrade. The resulting ash is still
considered infectious and is stored in WW ll blimp hangers.
Mad Cow disease can be passed from the mother to the fetus in the womb.
It can be passed from a bull to the cow through sperm.
It can be passed from one species to another quite freely by transfusion of
contaminated blood or consumption of infected material.
BSE is extremely resistant to high temperatures; it is unaffected by radiation,
laboratory solvents and bleaches.
In other words, it appears to be virtually indestructible.
How long is the incubation period for “Mad Cow” Disease in humans (also
called CJD)?
It is estimated that it may be as long as 20-40 years. But teen-agers and
young children have also died of it. So it can occur much more rapidly than
previously thought.
An infected cow shows the symptoms of BSE four to seven years after the time of
infection.
How are the government and the cattle industry
trying to “muzzle” truth-tellers about the risks of Mad Cow Disease to the
population of America?
Certain states, including Texas, have passed Food Disparagement Acts. Texas,
Oklahoma, Colorado and North Dakota corporate growers of vegetables and fruits
have won passage of laws making it a crime to falsely denigrate fruits and
vegetables.
Then the corporate farming industry in conjunction with the government,
conspire to cover-up, distort and withhold the facts from the public. So a whistle-blower
who is telling the truth, trying to warn the public, is a “sitting duck” for a
law suit.
The cattle industry sued Oprah Winfrey and her guest, Cattle Rancher Howard
Lyman, because they told the truth about the cover-up of Mad Cow Disease. Even
though Oprah Winfrey and Howard Lyman won the court action, the cattle industry
wanted to send a strong message of intimidation to anyone else who might even
think about speaking truth. Fortunately, in the U.S., Truth Telling is still a
legitimate defense, at least for the time being.
What other
products or procedures are potentially dangerous?
Vaccines, cosmetics, human growth hormone, thyroid hormone, albumin ( a
blood product given in hospitals), blood transfusions, vitamin and mineral
supplements, gelatin in thousands of processed foods, corneal transplants,
surgical instruments, estrogen, progesterone, cortisone, heparin, Vitamin B12,
insulin, gelatin in pill capsules, yogurt, ice cream, butter, chewing gum,
lard, margarine, shortening, egg substitutes, gravy mixes, cake mixes, whitener
in refined sugar (it's from bones), gelatin desserts, marshmallows, mayonnaise,
sausages and sausage casings, medicines, pet foods, and many other products.
What can we do?
1. DON'T believe the government. They have no interest in protecting you. They
are protecting big business and their own jobs.
2. Stop eating ALL animal products. Stop eating meat, poultry, dairy products
and eggs.
3. Stop eating processed food. Most of it contains animal products, even though
you would never suspect it.
4. Do not assume animals in the wild are not infected. They are.
5. Stop eating sugar or sugar containing foods. Sugar is “whitened” with bone
meal.
6.
Start eating a diet of fruit, grains and vegetables in their most natural form.
The plan is on my videos “You Can't Improve on God” and “Diseases Don't Just Happen.”
This plan will allow you to be FREE of ALL disease, not just “Mad Cow Disease.”
7. Make a determination to eventually get off all medications. (Don't stop them
abruptly. That can be dangerous) Many medications contain animal products. In
addition, drugs NEVER cure disease, and they ALL have dangerous side-effects.
When you start following the Ten Natural Laws of Health as detailed on my
video, “You Can't Improve on God” you will eventually be able to slowly decrease
your drug dosages and then stop them entirely.
Mad Cow Disease will be a Global Epidemic that will make AIDS look like a “walk
in the Park.” But YOU can be safe from the danger. You don't have to be afraid.
If your immune system is working properly because you are eating the right diet
and living the right lifestyle, disease can't touch you.
Learn how to rebuild your immune system and the immune system of those you care
about. The plan is very straight-forward and EVERYTHING in the plan is FREE,
except for food, and you have to buy that anyway.
The Plan to REBUILD your IMMUNE SYSTEM by natural methods is on my videos “You Can't Improve on God” and “Diseases Don't Just Happen.”
Addendum:
These problems were predicted OVER 100 years ago. Talk
about a prophet! Read these quotations!
The following quotations were written OVER 100 YEARS AGO by
the most prolific woman author of non-fiction in the U.S., Ellen White! (Notice
the year written at the end of each quotation):
“Disease in cattle is making meat eating a dangerous matter...Disease is
contracted by the use of meat. The diseased dflesh of these dead carcasses is
sold in the market places, and disease among men is the sure result.
“There is no safety in the eating of the flesh of dead animals, and in a short
time the milk of the cows will also be excluded from the diet... In a short
time it will not be safe to use anything that comes from the animal creation.”
(Written in 1898)
“Physicians who claim to understand the human organism ought not to encourage
their patients to subsist on the flesh of dead animals. They should point out
the increase of disease in the animal kingdom. The testimony of examiners is
that very few animals are free from disease, and that the practice of eating
largely of meat is contracting diseases of all kinds, -- cancers, tumors,
tuberculosis and numbers of other like affections.” (1897)
“Swine's flesh above all other flesh meats, produces a bad state of the blood.
Those who eat freely of pork can not help but be diseased...The eating of pork
has produced scrofula, leprosy and cancerous tumors. Pork eating is still
causing the most intense suffering to the human race. (1865)
“The light given me is that it will not be very long before we shall have to
give up using any animal food. Even milk will have to be discarded. Disease is
accumulating rapidly...man has cursed the earth. The habits and practices of
men have brought the earth into such a condition that some other food than
animal food must be substituted for the human family. We do not need flesh food
at all.” (1899)
“Could you know just the nature of the meat you eat, could you see the animals
when living from which the flesh is taken when dead, you would turn with
loathing from your flesh meats. The very animals whose flesh you eat, are
frequently so diseased that, if left alone, they would die of themselves; but
while the breath of life is in them, they are killed and brought to market. You
take directly into your system poison of the worst kind, and yet you don't realize
it.” (1870)
“Many die of diseases wholly due to meat eating, when the real cause is
scarcely suspected by themselves or others. Some do not immediately feel its
effects, but this is no evidence that it does not hurt them. It may be doing
its work surely upon the system, yet for the time being the victim may realize
nothing of it.” (1890)
“In many places fish become so contaminated by the filth on which they feed
as to be a cause of disease. This is especially the case where the fish come in
contact with the sewage of large cities. The fish that are fed on the contents
of the drains may pass into distant waters, and may be caught where the water
is pure and fresh. Thus when used as food they bring disease and death on those
who do not suspect the danger.” (1905)
