Is Red Meat Really Bad For You?
In her Albuquerque, New Mexico office, Dr. Kaayla Daniel, a PhD in nutrition and board-certified clinical nutritionist (CCN), counsels her clients who had been trying to be healthy by following the politcally-correct low-fat, low-meat diet, back to good, healthful eating habits. She recommends they eat organic, grassfed beef almost always. “Many of them experience dramatic improvement in their health with the inclusion of red meat,” she says. “Some benefit from a serving a day.” When animals are unnaturally fed, a reference to factory-farmed, feedlot cows, it changes everything---the nutritional profile and the health benefits. Her women clients, in particular, thrive when red meat is put back into their diets. Women need copper, zinc, and iron, the very trace minerals grassfed cows like Morrison’s dine on daily, then pass on to meat consumers.
Rod Morrison is CEO and president of Rocky Mountain Organic Meats, the Wyoming ranch that produces organic, grassfed beef. Healthy, cruelty-free cattle roam his 600,000 acres of certified organic land where they eat real food cows were born to consume---healthy grass and plants. The animals never live in pens, nor are they given hormones, or anything else synthetic. Obviously, their healthy, outdoor lifestyle equals quality eats, with one huge bonus that we should all expect---connection to a good healthy food supply we're able to trust.
The American Indian used to sit down to a meal of buffalo and eat nine pounds of meat in one sitting,” he says. “Now, that’s a large amount of meat. Today’s American Indian has trouble with diabetes. It has nothing to do with meat. It’s because they changed their diet to a carbohydrate and sugar diet. If you asked them if red meat was killing them, they’d say no, it’s the sugar.
The conventional livestock production farm, not only allows, but paves the way for the outbreak of disease. Thousands of genetically uniform animals are crowded into unhygienic housing, generating an ideal environment for microbes. Animal manure and slaughterhouse waste are recycled as feed. Meat is processed at break-neck speed in the presence of blood, faeces, and other contagion. Long-distance transport of food creates endless opportunities for contamination.
Antibiotic overuse is common place and it is resulting in drug-resistant microbes, including Salmonella, E. coli, and Camplyobacter. US farm livestock consume approximately 10 times as much antibiotics as the human population.

Despite all the risks, conventional livestock farming is the fastest growing form of animal production. It is responsible for over half of the world's meat production. Although the farms are concentrated in North America and Europe, feedlots are now a common sight near the urban areas in Brazil, the Philippines, China, India and elsewhere in the developing world where demand for meat and animal products is soaring. Often the conditions in which livestock is raised do not give you a warm and fuzzy feeling when you are eating a hamburger. In fact, if you dwell on it, you will be ready to barf.

It is surprising that the non-organic industry is growing so quickly. The issues are of alarming proportions. But there is another way. Organic livestock production methods are available. It is no coincidence that mad cow disease has yet to be reported on organic farms where they prohibit the feeding of slaughterhouse waste, and emphasise good animal health in general.
Here is another viewpoint...
ScienceDaily (July 2, 1999) — For years, physicians have avoided red meat when designing heart-healthy diets for their patients. Turns out that's a bum steer, according to a study published in the June 28 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine.
With a grant from the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, researchers at Johns Hopkins, the Chicago Center for Clinical Research and the University of Minnesota Hospital and Clinics put 191 adults with elevated cholesterol levels on a comprehensive low-fat, low-cholesterol diet that included lean meat. Patients were randomly assigned to consume 80 percent of their meat intake from lean red meats (beef, veal or pork) for five to seven days a week for nine months, or to eat lean white meats (fish or poultry) for the same length of time.
At study's end, subjects in both groups had nearly identical changes in their cholesterol levels. All saw an average decrease of 1 to 3 percent in low-density lipoproteins, or "bad cholesterol"; an average increase of 2 percent in high-density lipoproteins, or "good cholesterol"; and an average decrease of 6 percent in triglycerides, molecules needed to make fats.
"Chicken and fish traditionally have been considered healthier than red meat because many cuts of red meat can have too much saturated fat," says Peter O. Kwiterovich, M.D., director of The Johns Hopkins University Lipid Clinic. "Now, lean cuts of red meat are readily available to consumers. If you follow a heart-healthy diet, it doesn't make a difference whether you eat red meat or white meat, as long as you choose lean cuts."t's a bum steer, according to a study published in the June 28 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine.

HOW TO STOP A HEART ATTACK IN LESS THAN 30 SECONDS!
Cayenne pepper (also called capsicum frutescens) is a red, hot chili pepper used
primarily for flavoring dishes, but it has also been used for medical purposes for
centuries. This stimulating herb has been widely used all over the world to treat a variety
of health conditions, including heart disease, poor circulation, weak digestion, chronic
pain, sore throat, headaches and toothache, among others.
Cayenne pepper derives its medicinal properties from a resin-like substance known as
capsaicin. Capsaicin is an ingredient that has
thermogenic properties, that is, it increasesbody temperature and is the greatest blood circulation stimulant known. It doesn’t cause palpitations,
hyperactivity or an increase in blood pressure that most other stimulants cause. It also provides temporary relief of pain, which is why it is used in pain-reducing topical preparations such as
Capsazin-P, Zostrix-HP, Dolorac, R-Gel and others.
Cayenne has been shown to stop heart attacks in as little as 30 seconds. Perhaps the most well-known anecdotal evidence of this involved a 90-year-old man in Oregon who had a massive heart attack. When the medics arrived at his home, he was pronounced dead. His daughter was able to administer cayenne extract into his mouth, and within a few minutes, he regained consciousness. Thereafter, he was rushed to the hospital, and while he was in a semi-conscious state, his daughter continued giving him the cayenne extract. By the time they arrived at the hospital, he had fully recovered and insisted that he be taken home so that he could mow his lawn! When the doctor asked the daughter what she had given him, and she told him it was cayenne, the doctor declared it was the closest thing to a miracle he had ever seen. The capsaicin in cayenne pepper is unrivalled in its ability to boost circulation and increase heart action.
It has a mechanism of action that has the extraordinary ability to enhance cardiovascular performance while actually lowering blood pressure. Capsaicin has an energizing effect on the entire cardiovascular system. Dr. Anderson believes that cayenne greatly strengthens the heart and could possibly even prevent heart attacks. He routinely carries capsules of cayenne with him in the car and whenever he goes hiking, mountain climbing or backpacking. “You never know when you may find someone having a heart attack,” he says. Other doctors, however, insist that cayenne capsules are not as effective as cayenne tinctures or cayenne powder in emergency situations, such as in the event of a heart attack or stroke. If a heart attack or stroke should occur and the person is conscious, it is suggested that 5 to 10 droppers full of cayenne pepper tincture (or 1 teaspoon of cayenne powder in a glass of hot water) be administered into the mouth, and repeated every 15 minutes until the crisis has passed.
BY Dr Madison CavanaughVaccine Dangers (49 deaths, 213 permanent disabilities)
While their is great concern over a connection to autism due to the multiplicity of infant vaccinations, perhaps the greatest danger is compromising the immune system.
Consider the Gardasil vaccination reccommended by the CDC for girls from 9 years old and up and now also reccommended for boys in the same age group.
Sadly, Merck (the maker of Gardasil) is not erring on the side caution here. As recently reported by ActivistPost, the official Gardasil web site completely omits any mention of death as a possible side effect, despite the fact that Gardasil has been linked to 49 deaths. They also fail to mention any of the more serious side effects, many of which have been reported to VAERS, such as Guillain-Barre syndrome, despite the fact that there are 213 reported cases of permanent disability as a result of the vaccine.
New Scientist points out that "one way forward is to build a mathematical model of the disease and use it to test the benefits of vaccination." However, this is far easier said than done, and one such modeling study included several highly optimistic assumptions that may or may not be accurate, including the assumption that:
- The vaccine offers lifelong protection
- The vaccine has identical effects on young girls and older women
- HPV-16 and HPV-18 will not be replaced by mutated and/or more potent cancer-causing strains
- Vaccinated women will continue to get cervical cancer screenings, and
- Vaccinated women's natural immunity against HPV will remain unaffected
Is it reasonable to hinge the future of millions of women on a set of assumptions? Two years ago, Dr. Diane Harper, one of the lead researchers for Gardasil blew the whistle on the vaccine, saying that girls and their parents need to receive more complete information before accepting the inoculation. Dr. Harper, who participated in the Phase 2 and 3 trials to get Gardasil approved and authored several papers on it, raised serious questions about the vaccine's risks-benefit profile. And, according to Dr. Harper, the available data suggests the vaccine's protective effects do not last beyond five years.
In a 2009 CBSNews interview, she stated:
"If we vaccinate 11 year olds and the protection doesn't last... we've put them at harm from side effects, small but real, for no benefit. The benefit to public health is nothing; there is no reduction in cervical cancers, they are just postponed, unless the protection lasts for at least 15 years, and over 70 percent of all sexually active females of all ages are vaccinated."
She also says that enough serious side effects have been reported after Gardasil use that the vaccine could prove riskier than the cervical cancer it purports to prevent. Cervical cancer is usually entirely curable when detected early through normal Pap screenings."
Why Risk Your Life to Prevent an Avoidable Disease?
Deadly blood clots, acute respiratory failure, cardiac arrest and "sudden death due to unknown causes" have all occurred in girls shortly after they've received the Gardasil vaccine. These are atrocious risks to potentially prevent cervical cancer one day down the road. Because let's not forget that the HPV vaccine has not yet been PROVEN to actually prevent any kind of cancer.
The benefit is just one big "maybe."
So, are the risks involved really acceptable, especially in light of these latest findings? With recombinant HPV DNA thrown into the mix, we now know even LESS about the long-term risks and benefits of this vaccine…
Of course, you need to do your own careful research, but I simply cannot recommend this vaccine.
There are far better ways to protect yourself and your young daughters against cervical cancer. According to the CDC more than 6 million women contract HPV annually, yet less than 3,900 women will die from cervical cancer out of those 6 million. This is because, in 90 percent of all cases, your immune system can clear up the HPV infection on its own. Furthermore, the infection is spread through sexual contact, so it is behaviorally avoidable. In fact, using condoms can reduce the risk of HPV by 70 percent, which is more than Gardasil can claim to do.
The bottom line is that Gardasil is largely ineffective, potentially very dangerous, and a major waste of money. In order to keep your daughter healthy, why not take these simple steps that can prevent HPV and cervical cancer far better than a vaccine ever could:
- Talk to your kids about HPV. This infection is sexually transmitted, so it is 100 percent preventable through lifestyle choices, including the use of condoms.
- Keep your immune system strong. A healthy immune system is better able to handle a heavier emotional and physical stress load. The ideal healthy habits to keep your body and mind strong are detailed in these 12 changes that will cut your cancer risk in half.
