Dairy Industry Shocker
June is National Dairy Month, and at the same time dairy
industry executives were deceiving last summer's consumers
by promoting ice cream and cheese as foods to lose weight
by, these same cretins were carefully guarding a secret
that they determined you had no need to know.
That secret will now be revealed five months after their
annual milk celebration, and today's column should inspire
thousands more Americans to immediately jump onto the
Notmilk wagon of dairy abstinence.
The November issue of the journal Dairy Science (Volume 87
(11):3770-7) contains a study in which slaughtered cows were
tested for paratuberculosis, a bacterium that is not killed
by pasteurization. Mycobacterium paratuberculosis is often
passed directly from cow to human in milk and dairy products,
causing irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, and
Crohn's Disease.
Dr. Shawn McKenna and associates randomly sampled lymph
nodes and intestines from 984 cows that had ended their
lives in slaughterhouses. During the month of June, 2004,
an amazing event transpired. Forty-two percent of those
cows tested positive, infested with dangerous mycobacterium
paratuberculosis.
In February of 1998, the British Medical Journal reported:
"Mycobacterium Paratuberculosis crosses the species
barrier to infect and cause disease in humans."
The following month, the Journal of Applied and
Environmental Microbiology revealed:
"Mycobacterium paratuberculosis is capable of surviving
commercial pasteurization..."
Combine today's news with a publication in the September,
1996 issue of the Proceedings for the National Academy of
Sciences:
"Mycobacterium paratuberculosis RNA was found in 100% of
Crohn's disease patients, compared with 0% of controls."
How could any mother ever again buy milk for her family,
armed with the above information? Please help to spread
this news far and wide.

The link between Mycobacterium paratuberculosis and Chrone's and IBS is far
from proven as the bacteria is common in the gut of all animals and nearly
every person. There is a stronger case for Johne's disease in sheep and
cattle since a vaccine for the bacteria will protect animals against the
disease but it does still not prove it the cause of Chrone's or IBS. It
could mealy be an opportunistic invader of the inflamed areas. As treatment
for the bacteria has no effect on the course of the disuse.
