Is it Possible to Prevent Swine Flu from Hurting YOU?

B'SD

I'm sharing some thoughts on the chance (and the hope) that some medical professionals will respond to them.

Swine Flu has swept the world into a frenzy (with mainstream media's help). I'd like to minimize the cause for concern, if possible.

I'm eager to clarify a link between:

1. Filthy animals used as food

2. Antibiotics in the food chain,

and 3. Human disease.

If my theories about a link between filthy animals used as food, and antibiotics for those inevitably sickened animals in the food chain - both of which might lead to human disease - have merit, then there might be a simple way to minimize Swine (and Avian) Flu dangers.

FACTS:
Swine Flu has appeared in places (North America, South America, Europe, Africa, and parts of Asia) with opportunistic environments: pig troughs and pig pens.

Garbage, feces, and other non-food items such as fattening hormones commonly added to animal feed (cost-cutting and profit-promoting maneuvers) also nourish specific viruses/germs/bacteria/etc., then further weaken the now poorly nourished animals twice-over.

Filthy feed troughs seem to present a case of double jeopardy: Pigs swallowing the viruses or rolling about in them, absorb them into their flesh.

Their inevitably weakened health thus provokes antibiotic use to curb disease outbreaks, a double whammy on human health.

1. People handling sickened animals
have clearly been harmed by
the dangerous exposure.

2. Antibiotics are foreign to the food chain.

Human and animal digestive systems weren't designed to

process antibiotics on a frequent basis.

A vicious cycle of animals dining

on dirty, infected feed

and non-food items,

handled by workers thus exposed

to Swine Flu virus

(and who knows what else!)

and then served for dinner is

an all-too-common reality.

THEORY:
The above scenario leads me to suspect that if handlers are on nutritionally poor diets themselves, they'd be even more susceptible to risks of Swine Flu infection, thus facilitating the animal-to-human infection danger among themselves and everyone in contact with them.

Frequent dining on antibiotic-filled food might be harming human diners. What if the antibiotics don't prevent Swine Flu?

Eating Swine Flu-infected animals might also spread disease. If Swine Flu viruses are impervious to low heat, then improper cooking could complicate matters.

CONCLUSION:
The threats above may hold true for all animals used for human consumption: Cows, chickens, ducks, geese, etc.

Think Avian Flu and SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) and reflect on past headlines.

Infected people interact with other people, all of them

unsuspecting targets of the

viruses/germs/bacteria

crossing the once durable

animal/human barrier.

Air travel facilitates the spread of disease.

So does breathing.

Neither reality is about to disappear.

I suspect that proper animal feed (clean whole grains, clean produce, clean water) would prevent monstrously morphing bacteria, viruses and germs.

The absence of junk to 'eat' could cause them to die off.

Worldwide medical advice seems to indicate that we should stay as healthy as possible, keeping our immune systems strong so that bad-news bacteria, germs and viruses will not prey on us.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION

I'd like to suggest that people

stop eating dirty animals.

Stick to organically raised livestock

that dined only on

clean feed and clean water,

and lived in clean environments.

Behaving with maximum decency and compassion, no matter your mood or circumstances can only improve your inner and outer health. The world of medical and mental health science proves that point. And, to be something of a name-dropper, GOD promised us the same thing (Shmot/Exodus 15:26 and elsewhere).

I welcome responses to the thoughts I've shared above.

Breaking Medical News!

Before I became an author and Self-Help Coach, even before the life-saving surgery referenced in my book It's MY Crisis! And I'll Cry if I Need To, I was a journalist. My specialty was reporting medical news, an outgrowth of my former career in Health Information Management.

On July 25 2007 (just before the publication of my book) I posted something to this blog. Due to reader disbelief, I then regretted it. Now I regret having pulled the item off the blog. Why? Because the news is getting around the world by word of mouth, E-mail and more. Here is the information I now gladly share with you:

Today I added new information (that may just rock the world of medicine) to the Resources section in It's MY Crisis!.

AN ISRAELI SCIENTIST MAY WELL HAVE DISCOVERED THE CURE AND PREVENTATIVE FOR AIDS!

That's not all he discovered. When the full implications of this innovation in the medical world are understood, it will change the face of life worldwide. Avian Flu, Herpes, Legionnaire's Disease, as well as other virus-based illnesses, may soon be things of the past.



Publisher and editors of news sites, magazines and other media, contact me immediately to seal a feature story deal. I can write an article about the topic to knock your sox off! I'm well acquainted with the scientist addressed below. Mediabistro, this is a BIG story for you!

Readers of my blog who need to cope with serious illnesses, stay tuned for more breaking news.
