Foods as weapons of war - created by Big Pharma?

Food as weapons of war - created by Big Pharma?  Some folks are terrified of biological warfare, and with just concern.  Others' view it like a Hollywood big screen blockbuster flick such as one called "Contagion",  forthcoming shortly.  How many people think about the bio-engineering of our food with toxic, life destructive organisms, as ONE way to commit genocide against entire populations, without accountability or a shred of morality?


"By the way, the most likely explanation of where this strain of e.coli was bioengineered is that the drug giants came up with it in their own labs. Who else has access to all the antibiotics and equipment needed to manage the targeted mutations of potentially thousands of e.coli colonies? The drug companies are uniquely positioned to both carry out this plot and profit from it. In other words, they have the means and the motive to engage in precisely such actions.


Aside from the drug companies, perhaps only the infectious disease regulators themselves have this kind of laboratory capacity. The CDC, for example, could probably pull this off if they really wanted to.


The proof that somebody bioengineered this e.coli strain is written right in the DNA of the bacteria. That's forensic evidence, and what it reveals cannot be denied. This strain underwent repeated and prolonged exposure to eight different classes of antibiotics, and then it somehow managed to appear in the food supply. How do you get to that if not through a well-planned scheme carried out by rogue scientists? There is no such thing as "spontaneous mutation" into a strain that is resistant to the top eight classes of brand-name antibiotic drugs being sold by Big Pharma today. Such mutations have to be deliberate.


Once again, if you disagree with this assessment, then what you're saying is that NO, it wasn't done deliberately... it happened accidentally! And again, I'm saying that's even scarier! Because that means the antibiotic contamination of our world is now at such an extreme level of overkill that a strain of e.coli in the wild can be saturated with eight different classes of antibiotics to the point where it naturally develops into its own deadly superbug. If that's what people believe, then that's almost a scarier theory than the bioengineering explanation!"

"But in either case -- no matter what you believe -- the simple truth is that the world is now facing a new era of global superbug strains of bacteria that can't be treated with any known pharmaceutical. They can all, of course, be readily killed with colloidal silver, which is exactly why the FDA and world health regulators have viciously attacked colloidal silver companies all these years: They can't have the public getting its hands on natural antibiotics that really work, you see. That would defeat the whole purpose of making everybody sick in the first place.


In fact, these strains of e.coli superbugs can be quite readily treated with a combination of natural full-spectrum antibiotics from plants such as garlic, ginger, onions and medicinal herbs. On top of that, probiotics can help balance the flora of the digestive tract and "crowd out" the deadly e.coli that might happen by. A healthy immune system and well-functioning digestive tract can fight off an e.coli superbug infection, but that's yet another fact the medical community doesn't want you to know. They much prefer you to remain a helpless victim lying in the hospital, waiting to die, with no options available to you. That's "modern medicine" for ya. They cause the problems that they claim to treat, and then they won't even treat you with anything that works in the first place.


Nearly all the deaths now attributable to this e.coli outbreak are easily and readily avoidable. These are deaths of ignorance. But even more, they may also be deaths from a new era of food-based bioweapons unleashed by either a group of mad scientists or an agenda-driven institution that has declared war on the human population."

I hope you will read this entire article written by Mike Adams of Natural News.   I appreciate his work above all others because he tells the truth and allows freedom of speech which is incredibly informative when one has an open mind.

5 Ways to Avoid E. Coli

5 Ways to Avoid E. Coli is a very relevant and highly valuable piece of information in these times of constant worry over the safety of our food sources worldwide.  
  "In the world's third largest E. coli outbreak in history, a rare strain of the common food-borne bacteria has killed 22 people and left more than 600 in intensive care.
  Meanwhile, more than 2,150 people in 12 countries are suffering from excruciating stomach cramps, diarrhea (which is often bloody) and frequent puking. And there are four suspected cases of E. coliinfection connected to this outbreak in the U.S.


Scary, huh?
All four U.S. patients recently visited Germany, home to a bean sprouts farm that officials pegged Monday as the likely culprit. Bean sprouts are a common source of E. coli, says Catherine Donnelly, Ph.D., professor of food microbiology at the University of Vermont.


"The Food and Drug Administration has long warned consumers to avoid consumption of sprouts since seed stock is often contaminated with microbial pathogens," she says."


But later... German agriculture officials said 23 of 40 produce samples from a suspected sprout farm failed to identify E. coli contamination, The New York Times reported. In other words, the case is still a mystery.

"Before you panic, take heart: Food-borne illness has been on the decline in recent years. However, you can get infected from swallowing lake water while swimming, touching animals in petting zoos and other animal exhibits and by eating foods prepared by people who didn't wash their hands after visiting the john."  (toilet)


"Here are five steps you can take to reduce your risk of E. coli infection, according to Ruth Frechman, registered dietitian in Los Angeles and spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association:


1. Wash your hands (and your produce)! Good hand washing is the single most important thing you can do, especially after using the bathroom (or changing diapers); touching animals or spending time in their environments (playing fetch with Fido, for example); and before preparing and eating food. Rinsing produce under running water helps reduce bacteria, too.

2. Cook meats thoroughly. Ground beef and meat that has been tenderized should be cooked to at least 160 degrees Fahrenheit (use a thermometer to be sure!). "Heat kills bacteria," says Frechman. "Cooking leafy greens for 15 seconds at 160 degrees will also kill E. coli."

3. Avoid eating high-risk foods. Unpasteurized (raw) milk or cheeses, unpasteurized juices (apple cider is a biggie) and undercooked meat. And steer clear of human and animal feces (easier said than done when you don't know who's preparing your food and what their hand-washing habits are!).



4. Don't swallow! When you're in swimming pools, rivers, ponds, streams and backyard "kiddie" pools, don't swallow the water! Some kinds of E. coli cause disease by producing something called Shiga toxin. Infections start when you swallow invisible Shiga toxin-producing E. coli -- in other words, when you get tiny amounts of human or animal feces in your mouth (ew!).


5. Don't cross-contaminate. Clean and sanitize counter tops, cutting boards, utensils, refrigerator shelves and hands after they touch raw meat. Use separate cutting boards for fruits/vegetables and raw proteins, such as chicken, fish or meat."

5 Ways to Avoid E. Coli.  As a retired professional nurse, I can totally endorse how important this basic, health skill 101, truly is.  Simple hand washing technique is the number one defense against food born and other types of illness.  NEVER put anything into your mouth or near your nose without washing your hands thoroughly with soap.  Use a paper towel to open a bathroom door, especially in commercial establishments.  Never touch food with dirty hands.   Read the restaurant's sanitary ratings posted on their windows before choosing to eat there.
