What do you risk when you DON'T eat grass-fed meat?

Even though we aren't hearing about it in the news every day, Mad Cow Disease is still a threat to our health, especially if we buy meat from ordinary grocery stores.

According to the Organic Consumers Association, which campaigns for food safety, organic agriculture, fair trade & sustainability, the USDA is still trying to cover-up the feeding of blood, manure, & slaughterhouse waste to cattle and then sell it to us as nutritious.

Although the Agriculture Department during the last week of June, 2005 admitted that a cow that died last year was infected with mad cow disease, a test the agency conducted seven months ago indicated that the animal had the disease.

The result was never publicly disclosed. The delay in confirming the United States' second case of mad cow disease seems to underscore what critics of the agency have said for a long time: that there are serious and systemic problems in the way the Agriculture Department tests animals for mad cow.

You and your family may be at great risk from grocery-store meats

Mad cow disease, formally known as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE.), can seem baffling because it's origin seems to be mysterious. Oddly enought, there is not a lot of research about it. Here's what is generally theorized about it.

• It strikes at random
• Cattle can become infected (though not always) with the disease by eating feed that contains infected tissue
• Some believe that organophosphate pesticides (used to prevent warble flies from biting) may also play a major role in its cause by destroying the animal's immune system
• There is no known cure
• It leads quickly to death virtually 100 percent of the time. Mad cow disease essentially creates holes in an infected cow's brain.

What are the symptoms?

In cattle, you may see the following:

1) an excitable or nervous temperament to external stimuli such as touch to the skin

2) a progressive unsteadiness of gait resulting eventually in the inability to stand up or walk, commonly callded "downer" cattle. The disease is virtually 100% fatal.

In humans who have eaten the allegedly-diseased beef, CJD can cause:

1) memory loss

2) emotional instability with inappropriate outbursts

3) an unsteady gait followed by more weakness

4) a fast-occurring form of dementia

5) ending with death, often within a year of its onset.

What can you do to avoid mad cow disease?

Today much of the beef that is sold in the large grocery store chains has been raised on factory farms. For the most part, they are fed a steady diet of foods here that have reportedly been made from other diseased animals. In addition they are given hormones, pesticides and other harmful substances that destroy the animal's immune system. That's what you are unknowingly paying for and eating every day!

In order to avoid this, here are some guidelines so you can make your own informed choices.

• Buy beef from local sources that don't feed their cattle any grain-products that have brain or nervous system tissue as part of their mix. You might check your local Yellow Pages or perhaps the classified section of your local newspaper.
• Find a progressive healthy grocery store chain like, Whole Foods or Wild Oats that sells free-range or grass-fed grown beef.
• Buy U.S. Wellness Meats/Grassland Beef online and they will ship it frozen to arrive quickly and safely by Fed Ex to your home.

Also you should be aware, many of the grass-fed beef cattle (available from sources other than US.Wellness and Grassland Beef) have been fed grain before harvesting, which lowers the highly beneficial Congugated Linoleic Acide (CLA) count. This changes the ratio of Omega 6:3, lowering the available Omega 3. With U.S. Wellness and Grassland Beef, you get the maximum amount of CLA and Omega 6:3.

It really pays to do your homework. That's why I researched and found U.S. Wellness Meats/Grassland Beef . What I noticed after starting to feed this beef to my husband, Walter, is that within several days his strength improved immensely, as well as his stamina. Living here in the high desert of Arizona, one needs quality fats to protect the skin from the damaging effects of the sun. I feel that animal fats high in Omega 3 (like U.S. Wellness Meats/Grassland Beef contain) help you:

• protect your body's health
• support your immune system and
• make it easy to get adequate Omega 3’s in the diet without worrying about consuming mercury (a toxic heavy metal) from fish.

Admittedly, all of these options may cost you more but at least you'll have safer beef, lamb, chicken and more to eat and feed your family. Compared to prices in healthy grocery stores, these grass-fed meats are very reasonable and so safe. Plus, all of the prices are factored with the delivery included. Of course, this is entirely my opinion, but the way I see it is there is always the option to make a change for better health. After all, you don't want to pay good money to feed you or your family hormones, pesticides, antibiotics plus risk the health of your brain and life with the after-effects of their sub-standard, in-humane diet, do you?

Health freedom may be a thing of the past...IF we don't speak up NOW!

In case you haven't already heard, the big pharmaceutical companies have banded together to try to stave off the competition they've been feeling from the big loss in sales to alternative practices that use all-natural, herbal and food supplements to help people get healthier. Over half of the population is now turning to alternative therapies for help with their health.

The "powers that be" (representatives from many countries) are meeting during the first two weeks of July, 2005 to vote on how to globally limit your freedom of choice in health care and your ability to access to herbs, vitamins and other natural therapies. Their reported agenda is to force you use pharmaceuticals and drugs only. Please read the alert from one of the most-informative and reputable natural-health web sites I know of...Weston A. Price (below) and watch a 28-minute video (see link below) for free. Then act as your conscience directs.

(Note: you may have to download a Quick Time or Windows Media player FREE to watch the video online...IF you don't already have one. It's very easy! Follow directions when you click the link below. You can also buy a video copy but watch the FREE one first.)

Please let all of your friends and family know also. To make it easy, send them a link to this newsletter. The more people who speak up, the better your freedom AND health will be.

OTHER WAYS TO TAKE ACTION NOW!

You can also take action at Citizens for Health and sign a pre-written letter and petition to go to your congressmen, who will be voting on this soon. It's as easy as filling out your name and address and takes only a minute. This is a well-known and very reputable site that makes legislatures sit up and listen!

Plus, you may want to consider taking action at the Alliance for Natural Health (then click "What's Hot"). This organization includes hundreds of eminent doctors and scientists who are concerned about extremely low 'recommended maximum levels', such as 225 mg vitamin C, 5.4 mg vitamin B6, 5 mcg vitamin D and 15 mg vitamin E that are being put forth in the new Codex. This is a concern because the risk assessment models that are being used as a basis for determining the USLs are scientifically irrational and flawed. That means, if this Codex passes, doctors and health practitioners and labels on bottles and packages would NO longer be recommending the proper dosages of vitamins, herb, etc. to help your body recover its health!

DANGERS OF CODEX, WTO AND CAFTA!

This new film by Kevin P. Miller exposes imminent dangers posed by CAFTA, Codex, and the WTO, and urges people to action. A new documentary by International award-winning filmmaker Kevin P. Miller, "We Become Silent" has taken the world by storm via the Internet - with more than 10,000 viewings in less than two days. It can be seen at http://en.groundspring.org/EmailNow/pub.php?module=URLTracker&cmd=track&j=35602226&u=322801.

International award-winning filmmaker Kevin P. Miller announced the release of a new documentary about the threat to freedom of choice in health care. 'We Become Silent: The Last Days of Health Freedom' details the ongoing attempts by multinational pharmaceutical interests and giant food companies - through the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA), Codex Alimentarius, the European Union, the WTO, and others - to limit the public's access to herbs, vitamins and other therapies.

"We Become Silent" is narrated by Dame Judi Dench, one of Britain's most distinguished actresses.

"I am releasing a 30 minute version of "We Become Silent" because it is vital to engage the worldwide public about the dangers of CAFTA, the EU Food Supplements Directive, the WTO, and the Codex Alimentarius Commission, which is meeting in Italy," said Miller.

"If we don't stand up to Congress, the unelected bureaucrats serving on these trade commissions, and governments everywhere, our freedoms will be lost. It is now up to Congress to stop CAFTA from becoming law. If we do not act together - immediately - we will see a restrictive European Union-styled multi-government unveiled in our hemisphere."

[Note: the Senate approved CAFTA while the House has yet to vote].

"We Become Silent" features two Congressman who have a philosophical divide on free trade, but agree entirely on the dangers of CAFTA, the WTO, and Codex. Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-OR) and Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) speak powerfully in the film about how Americans are lured with false promises of free trade as "good for democracy." In fact, say the Congressmen, sovereign rights are being usurped by these secretive trade bodies, and the only beneficiaries have been multinational corporate interests. They tell a frightening story of how America has become answerable to the WTO and how health freedoms and personal sovereignty are being crushed under the weight of multinational corporate greed.

"We Become Silent" also highlights actor Mel Gibson, in addition to the only known video from inside a Codex meeting. It also shows exclusive interviews with delegates to the Codex Alimentarius Commission, U.S. Food and Drug Administration officials, and many of the best-known health freedom advocates from around the world.

This film is a powerful statement about the dominance of multinational corporations over personal freedoms - and the challenges consumers face in trying to repel these monoliths from their daily lives. "We Become Silent" will air in the USA on WorldLink Television (25 million US homes) and Mr. Miller is aggressively courting UK, Canadian and European TV networks as well. More than 10,000 people have viewed the film - in its' first two days on the Internet - at http://en.groundspring.org/EmailNow/pub.php?module=URLTracker&cmd=track&j=35602226&u=322802

INDIGESTION: is it the secret cause of chronic disease?

Indigestion is a word that's commonly used for a wide range of problems in the digestive system. These include:

• heartburn
• reflux
• diarrhea
• constipaton
• diverticulitis
• irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)
• colitis
• Crohn's disease and
• leaky gut syndrome

Conventional medicine focuses on controlling these symptoms rather than correcting them and eliminating the underlying cause. Most people turn to antacids for a self-help treatment. More that 50 million pills are ingested daily.

Yet, oddly enough research shows that too little stomach acid is usually the cause...not too much acid. So taking antacids just makes all the problems get worse. What's more as the stomach produces less acid, the pancreas is forced to produce less digestive enzymes. The result is that food begins to rot in the digestive tract, causing a viscious cycle of pain and deterriorating health. This rotting process draws water from the body into the intestines. Working hard to balance things, your intestines begin to produce gas from the rotting foods which triggers caustic acids to be produced, which first irritate and then eventually destroy the delicate intestinal lining.

You may then begin having alternating bouts of diarrhea and constipation as your body works very hard to reach a state of equilibrium. But as if that were not enough, your body can now become autointoxicated. That means your body begins to absorb the toxins produced in your gut as the undigested food rots and ferments.

Undigested toxins trigger more diseases

As these toxins build up, the body has to find ways to cope with this increased danger from the growing levels of toxicity. Each of the body's organ system go into action and sometimes they go into overdrive to try to deal with the mounting variables. The result is many seemingly unrelated diseases begin to appear, including:

• allergies
• sinusitis
• joint inflammation
• toxic headaches
• kidney stones
• gallbladder disease
• chronic fatigue
• memory loss
• unhealthy skin
• recurring structural weakness and pain

Earlier in my life, I suffered from Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and it's no picnic. Thankfully, though I found some alternative health options that worked for me and so can you. One of the most helpful I've found is what is called "live" or "nascent" oxygen. But let me explain a little first about the role of oxygen.

What is oxygen and what role does it play in digestion?

We all know from our days in school that there is oxygen in the air we breathe and the water we drink. It used to be taken for granted that if a body could inhale enough oxygen, it could keep itself in good balance and repair. But have you ever stopped to consider how comprised our air and water are with rising pollution levels?

We've all heard news stories about industrial pollution, the spraying pesticides and smog from our cars and trucks. All of these pollutants reduce the availability of oxygen and its ability to help us function normally as humans.

Of course, our water has suffered, too. Many industries have dumped their raw chemical and industrial wastes into our once clean rivers, streams and creeks. What's more most of our municipal water systems now add chlorine and other chemicals into our household water supplies to cut down on the increase of bacteria or other percieved risks. The result is water with a reduced oxygen capacity.

At one time it was assumed that the normal human body could heal itself by just having a good supply of oxygen. But we don't have a good supply of oxygen because our air and our water, our two chief sources of it, have been compromised.

Still you may ask yourself, why should I be worried about this? I can breathe and I can drink water. Well, because when you eat food, your body needs oxygen to digest properly. Oxygen helps burn or oxidize your food to release the energy you need to survive. If you don't have enough oxygen, your food begins to rot in your intestines and releases toxins which can cause some of the symptoms listed at the top of this article.

How can I get more oxygen into my digestive tract?

One of products I have found is one that's been around since 1898. It's called Homozon and contains ozone. Molecular oxygen was first discovered in 1773 by a German chemist named Scheele. Building on Scheele's work, other chemists over the next 140 years discovered and perfected a preparation which proved by their practical tests, to be not only a purifier of the alimentary (digestive) tract but also observed that it released nascent (free, available, active) oxygen that followed the channels of the vital fluids through the body.

Through their experiments the chemists found oxygen (O2) could be bound together by electrical discharge to form ozone (O3). Ozone is a highly active form of oxygen that contains 3 parts (atoms) of oxygen in one molecule. It's Nature's most active purifier and destroyer of bacteria, germs, parasites and worms.

Perhaps you've noticed that alive feeling when you sniff the air in a pine forest or taken in the fresh smell after a thunderstorm or even experienced that aliveness of the air near the ocean. That is ozone. That is also the layer of our atmosphere that we are so concerned about these days because it is breaking down around us.

You can get that aliveness of ozone safely into your digestive tract by mixing Homozon© into filtered drinking water.

What is Homozon© and how can it help me?

Homozon© is a compound made from the simple elements of magnesium and oxygen in which the magnesium atoms form a loose lattice onto which much oxygen is bonded by catalytic process. When taken with lemon juice or other acidic juice, oxygen is released inside the digestive tract, producing ozone with its many benefits.

Here are some of the things Homozon© does:

• loosens the bowels to release the built-up toxicity, much like a colonic flush but without the appartus (while this may seem disconcerting to some, it is a desired effect and one that will wash out the toxins)
• enhances the creation and circulation of normal vital fluids allowing the body to return to a state of "homeostasis" or balance
• neutralizes and removes toxins or poisons, heavy metals and harmful anaerobic bacteria to rebuild a strong healthy body
• is safe, gentle and not habit-forming permitting normal bowel activity allowing better use of essential minerals and nutrients so you can have more energy
• opens pores, improves circulation, disinfects, deodorizes and heals by letting you remove toxins as they occur instead of letting them build up

How do I take Homozon©?

The best way to take Homozon© is in short spaced intervals. I would suggest taking about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon and stir it into six to eight ounces of pure spring water or distilled water. Mix it well and drink it. Eventually you may want to work yourself up to two to three teaspoons of Homozon© daily until your symptoms subside.

Follow each dosage with some diluted acid. Some people prefer to mix the juice of a quarter or a half of a fresh lemon in water after each dose. Others, however, prefer to take betaine hydrochloride tablets. Call me TOLL FREE at 1-866-942-6848 if you'd like my recommendations.

Either way will work fine. The diluted acid will set free the beneficial ozone into your digestive tract producing its many benefits. This purifying action will take place over approximately eight hours after you take Homozon©. If you have more questions or would like more detailed instructions on taking Homozon©, click here.
