DEAD MEAT
The Meat of the Problem
Think about it.
The natural diet for a cow is grass. Grass is alive, full of live enzymes
which all help to produce a healthy cow. Old time country farmers used water
and natural manure from their chickens, cows and rabbits as fertilizer. The
grass did not have chemical fertilizers sprayed on it.
You hear the words “Natural Grain Fed Beef”. Well, what does this mean? It
means that the cow was fed a dry, dead grain with enzyme inhibitors rather than
a fresh, live grass. Then what happens to the animal? Right! It gets sick!
And then what does the meat industry do to solve this problem? You got it!
They give an anti-biotic which leaves residues in the meat of the animal.
Why not just feed the animal its natural diet? Well then you won’t have an
animal that weights as much and brings as much profit at the time of
slaughter. To increase the weight further, the animals are given steroids and
hormones which means you are not only eating antibiotics, but now you are also
consuming steroids and hormones when you have a meal of beef, chicken, pork,
farm raised fish or dairy products. So, many people are on a “money motivated,
health destroying, merry-go-round”.
For the last 30+ years the amount of Hormones, Antibiotics, and Steroids which
have been used to produce bigger and fatter animals has been on the increase
every year, so that today, these meat products are not only ineffective for our
nutritional needs, but are actually creating many physical diseases.
Perverted meat is THE “Reason WHY” most American children are starting to go
through puberty at the ages of 7, 8, and 9 instead of the normal 12 through
15. It is the cause of many “teenage” difficulties and is the origin of PMS,
and the problems women are having with Menopause. Altered meat is the reason
why so many men are coming down with prostate problems. It answers the
question why an increasing number of men and women are unable to have
children. The weight and obesity problems of Americans are a direct result of
the hormones used in the meat industry.
If you want to get off this “money motivated, health destroying, merry-go-
round” you need to do a few things you may not have yet done. First of all
pull up the website for eatwild.com and get even more educated. This site will
explain how the natural omega 3 and omega 6 in beef changes to the opposite of
what the human body needs when an animal is fed grain. Very interesting data!
Look for other sites and get educated on the subject.
About 35 years ago, the FDA passed rules and regulations for what did, or did
not qualify as CERTIFIED ORGANIC. At that time, they actually created these
Rules to suppress a young growing organic foods movement. But to our great
good fortune, their intention backfired and nowadays, the only saving grace in
the entire American food chain are those two words. Certified Organic! All
else is suspect and should be investigated before purchased.
So the next thing I can recommend to you in starting back on the road to
physical health is to research where you can obtain CERTIFIED ORGANIC meat and
eat and feed your family only meats that do not have hormones, steroids and
antibiotics. Watch out for labels such as “All Natural” or “Range Free” as
these names can be a cover up and the meat may still contain antibiotics,
hormones and steroids. Did you know that you can take beef, irradiate it, and
still call it “All Natural”??? Do you know that you can feed a chicken
antibiotics, steroids, and hormones, but because it lives in a barnyard
outside, it can be called “Range Free”??? This is ridiculous!
I recently heard an interesting statistic that in the year 1900 20% of the
people over the age of 40 had degenerative diseases. Today that figure has
risen to over 70%. What has changed since the 1900’s?
This suppressive treatment of our meats is causing an incredible number of
troubles in children, so that Psychiatrists are having a hay day inventing all
kinds of new mental diseases every year, justifying the drugging of our kids
with Ritalin®, Concerta®, Adderall®, Prozac®, and a multitude of other
extremely destructive, mind altering drugs. Some of these outrageous drugs are
being given to our 4 and 5 year olds for Gawds sake. The youth of America are
well on the way to being destroyed, and yet a media controlled by these vested
interest groups directs our attention on terrorism and violence only.
This is beyond criminal, and I actually compare the size of this evil act to
the holocaust in Germany in the 1930’s and 40’s. Why? Because over a million
people a year are dying with heart problems and a thousand other wasting
diseases. Because one isn’t killed instantly with these practices, they are
actually allowed to continue and even encouraged by such as the pharmaceutical
companies, medical doctors and especially the psychiatrists. After all, this
does create more business and money for them, doesn’t it?
Here are some places you can get data to do your own research on this. I
strongly suggest you check these things out for yourself.

Buy only ocean caught fish. Eat less meat and consider other protein sources,
such as sprouted almonds, and my Total Nutrition Formula. Support only those
meat industries that go the extra mile to produce CERTIFIED ORGANIC products,
and this includes eggs, milk, cheese, yogurt, as well as the pork, chicken and
beef you eat. The time to make this change is NOW, before you and your family
end up as – dead meat.
Yours in health and love,

While I don't doubt that this "dead meat" causes all kinds of problems (and I do buy only "live meat" unless dining in a restaurant), I do question some of the relationships mentioned in this article. For example, it is my understanding that "ADD/ADHD" (frequently a misdiagnosis) is due to refined sugars in the diet, not eating meat produced via modern animal husbandry practices (although the point can be raised that "corn-fed" meat may contain more sugars). Ingestion of dairy products, specifically milk and ice cream, have been far more implicated in inducing early puberty (especially in girls) than ingesting meat. So, while I endorse his bottom line (eat live, not dead, meat) I don't ascribe to everything he says in this piece. He may be stretching it a bit here.

"Ingestion of dairy products, specifically milk and ice cream, have been far more implicated in inducing early puberty (especially in girls) than ingesting meat. "
Where does the milk and ice cream come from, if not the same cows?
In Reply to: Re: Dead Meat posted by ~CT on March 08, 2003 at 17:53:35:
Yes from the same cows, but it's not the same as their meat. Milk contains concentrated stuff to help the calf grow. It stands to reason that the hormones and antibiotics would also be more concentrated in the milk than in the meat.
On top of that, here in the states, we don't generally eat dairy cows!

That's quite a change since the time when you kicked out people from your yahoo group for saying that meat is not a poison. Now you actually make sense. Meat had better come from animals that are raised truly naturally.

Right on, Doc Ian.
I really appreciate another professional helping give us this information. I feel less of a "lone ranger".
Namaste`

I like your article very much. Thank you for posting that. However, the last paragraph calls for some looking at, especially for people that might not know any better.
You wrote, "buy only ocean-caught fish". Even ocean-caught fish are showing high levels of mercury and other contaminants. It is a sad state of affairs but most fish are best avoided at this time.
You also wrote, "eat less meat". That is very relative really. More specifically, I would mention to eat less NON-ORGANIC, GRAIN-FED meat and eat MORE organic GRASS-FED BEEF and GAME. These have the ideal omega 3-6 ratio. Also, the metabolic type of the individual will greatly influence how much "meat" people would need in their diets. For the most part, plant proteins are not the best as they lack certain essential amino acids. Now, even though combining plants can make complete proteins, the proteins are less-absorbed and utilized than animal proteins. So, while a slow-oxidizer may benefit more from a plant-based diet, a fast-oxidizer wouldn't do so well.
I do not mean to bring this up to undermind what you have wrote but only to clarify for people that do not know as much about nutrition as you do. Thanks

if hormones are the culprit then any animal products are suspect.
