Almost Half the Meat at the Supermarket is Contaminated!

I hated to see this, especially since I am a meat eater. I'm not surprised at this at all. The meat industry basically has the regulators in their 'back pocket'. That's why they get to add so many of the antibiotics to the animals. The overuse of the antibiotics is what leads to the bacteria being able to develop resistance to them. The meat producers love to use antibiotics because they can continue to use their filthy practices, as well as increase the growth rate of the animals.




Staphylococcus aureus is a common bacteria. It is scary to think that these bacteria in the meats we are consuming is drug-resistant! But that's a direct result of corporations choosing the most profitable practices over the most safe practices. It's not surprising if you truly understand what a corporation is.

A corporation is an artificial person. It's only reason for existence is to make money for owners (shareholders), and everything else is of relatively minor importance. They don't care about the effect of their foods on our long-term health. They don't care whether or not the food they feed us is healthy. They only care about whether or not we'll continue to buy it, and whether or not they'll make profits. That's why they never want to admit to anything that they think will make us less likely to buy their products, or to make us uncomfortable with their industry.

I'm not sure what we should do though, because beef, poultry and pork are all having this problem. Most people don't want to give up meat, but we're going to have to do something to protect ourselves, since we know that the big corporations will not protect us. It might be a good idea to get meats from small, local farmers instead of from the big supermarket chains. It may also be good to wash our meats with food grade hydrogen peroxide (diluted to 3%). We're going to have to be resourceful and intelligent.

'Treatment' Passing as 'Medical Care'

I came across a great article that describes what I have come to understand about the Health Care Industry here in America. The bottom line is that they have been inventing diseases and lowering the numbers that determine when someone is at risk for disease. Unfortunately, the medical care professionals in this country are paid more when people become sick, and they make no money when people are well. This provides a powerful incentive for health care professionals to treat diseases and to increase the disease rate.

Whether this is done consciously, subconsciously, or ignorantly, the result is the same for the patient--a round of pharmaceutical drugs and/or expensive (and often painful and dangerous) high-tech treatments. Most of these 'treatments' usually lead the patient down the pharmaceutical and treatment downward spiral. The patient's health usually continues on a gradual downward spiral that eventually culminates with a painful death.

The simple lesson to be learned is that YOU are the person who cares the most about your own health. Others simply cannot be trusted unless they can demonstrate to you that they are open-minded enough to seek alternatives to pharmaceutical or allopathic approaches to disease abatement. Your very life could be at stake. I would recommend that you begin to study health, disease, and alternative treatment methods. I'm not saying that all alternative treatment methods fail to work, but I am saying that the allopathic (M.D.) paradigm is not well suited for all diseases. Allopathic philosophy is excellent for emergency and trauma medicine, but is totally crappy for systemic diseases, degenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and cancer treatment.

Even if you don't do any research on your own, at least become a knowledgable patient. Remember--NOBODY is going to feel as strongly about the quality of your health as you do! Nor is anyone going to be more affected by any health care treatments that you decide to undergo than you. It's up to YOU to insure that you are receiving the best treatment that you can get. The doctor and/or hospital can always get another patient, but you can't get another life!

P.S.: Be sure to check out the links in the article because they will lead you to a lot more in-depth information on some of the concepts that I've presented in this article.
