Agriculture History Health Dilemma:

WHAT ANIMAL PRODUCTS ARE DOING FOR YOU!

 "They that be slain with the sword are better than they that be slain with hunger: for these pine away, stricken through for want of the fruits of the field." Lamentations  4:9

The end of the war in 1945, though welcomed by millions, presented a problem for  the Nitrate industry. There was a drop in the demand for bullets and bombs.  Then someone discovered that you could stimulate the growth of plants with just three chemicals, nitrates and two others, so they changed over to fertilizers and farmers began dumping tons of nitrates onto the soil.  They started taking 4-5 crops a year off the land. There was no rest for the land--they were raping nature.

In 1988 170 billion tons of artificial fertilizer, along with pesticides, herbicides, and insecticides were dumped into our soil.  Do you notice the change in the texture and flavor of some of our foods? Poor texture, less taste, less nutrition! We fill ourselves, but we don’t feed ourselves.  90% of the population are deficient in nutrients and minerals. We have a chemical smorgasbord of 66,000 carcinogenic chemicals in our foods.

Back to our story: In 1945 they started using the nitrates on the land and in 1950, the cattle started becoming sterile.  The farmers were angry and told the government they  must stop putting nitrates on the soil and put back the minerals.

The government said, “No!” and threatened the farmers with loss of their loans if they kept complaining.  Instead they told them to feed hormones to their cattle.  So the farmers backed off and fed the hormones.

Now 30% of humans of child-bearing age are sterile. Man keeps manipulating, but you can’t fool or cheat nature.

How many people do you know who are on hormones? One in three women are entering menopause now at 35 years of age. In 1965 the average age of female puberty was 14.5.  Now it is 11.2! It may drop to be 9 yrs. old! How many 9 year olds are emotionally mature enough to become a mother?  Problems show up more quickly in women as they have more bells and whistles, they're the more finely tuned instrument.

What happened next? The cattle on the hormones a few years later began to die of diseases.  Now the government came running to the rescue--by putting back the minerals into the ground? NO! By putting the cattle on antibiotics.  Now most farm stock are fed continual antibiotics.  Only nature can heal, but antibiotics will drive the disease deeper and keep the cattle and other animals alive long enough to reach the market and your plate. Think about it--50% of produced antibiotics are fed to cattle.

So you take penicillin and you have an allergic  reaction  or it doesn’t work for you any more, Why?

Because it is in your daily food if you eat animal products. Doses of antibiotics have to be hundreds of times stronger now than formerly and often three different kinds have to be used together to work--Why? The germs are becoming more immune.

When people come off meat and dairy products these days they often go through withdrawal symptoms like an addict--because of the drugs in these products.

People born in 1900 were born into a different world.  People born since 1945 have deteriorated noticeably.  Look at our children. Disease and lack of fitness. Few could pass minimum fitness standards. Even in the last 10-20 years you can see the change.

In 1890 people averaged 3 pounds of sugar per person per year;  In 1990 it was 123 lbs. per year.  And someone is getting my share at that!

Our elderly are getting a poor deal, they are dying of constipation and poor diets in hospitals and nursing homes--no honor to our elderly in this throw away society.

How much meat do you think our ancestors ate? Once a week they may have had a small roast or fowl, and it was shared with the whole family.  Not 21 times a week like many of us do now.

One acre can feed a family on potatoes but will not support 1 cow.  Milk, eggs and meat have changed, they are not the staple foods our ancestors ate.  We are living in a fantasy.  Can dead flesh give life?

Here are some examples of confusion and contradiction in our modern world.  I saw an add for “Burger-day” to raise money for colitis, chroen's and ileitis.  Sponsored, of course by the meat packers. Meat eating is the main cause of these colon diseases.  Take these patients off of animal products and with a little colon cleansing, see how quickly they clear up.

We are brainwashed into believing we need so much protein in our diet and we must eat meat  for endurance. There was a test done comparing Yale athletes with some ordinary vegetarian office workers.  It was a simple endurance test to see how long one could hold out his arms straight.  The athletes averaged 10 minutes--the vegetarians 64 minutes--average!

Dr. Fisher, who did the test concluded, “Meat eating and a high protein diet, instead of increasing endurance, has been shown, like alcohol, to actually reduce it.”

Captain Bates tells of an incident in his life that convinced him to be a vegetarian.  He was loading a shipment of salt and had two Irish workers shoveling into several British workers and the British workers began to complain that they could not keep up with the Irish.  When Bates came to investigate the problem the Irish men said, “Well and sure, what do you think we could do if we had the good meat ta eat that ye do?”  Bates asked what they ate.  “Potatoes, sure.” they responded. And on this simple but nutritious food they were working better and faster than the British sailors with their rich, animal product diets.  Too bad they didn’t recognize that what they thought was a hardship, was really a blessing!

Look around you--how many people are truly well? Look at all the new diseases brought upon us by those who were supposed to be looking after us.  And they fear the same diseases! How can you expect them to make you well when they can’t even keep themselves well?  Doctors are not known for their longevity in our culture.

What happens between Health and disease?  People can be examined by a doctor and declared healthy and die only hours later--why? Because Doctors only can see active disease when it has gone far enough to show up in tests.  Let’s not be an experiment--health is not a magical-mystical thing with bells and lights and gadgets in it--Health is pure water, fresh air, natural food, temperance, trust in God and obedience to His natural laws,  and learning how to cleanse and respect your marvelous, self-healing body.

People around you will resist your search for health the natural way. They want you to be just like them--out of shape, overweight.  They want to be comfortable eating their junk and pop and lying on the couch.  It  takes real courage to step out and become healthy--you'll have to swim upstream. Friends and family will challenge you; “Hey! you’re loosing weight! You must be sick. You’d better stop! You’ll starve.  Don’t exercise, you’ll hurt yourself! Don’t be a health nut.” But hang in because it is worth it.

Not many 'professionals' will tell you these things--why? Because there is no money in healthy people! Look in the mirror and if you don’t like what you see--what you have been taught isn’t working. Give nature a chance. Remember, If nothing changes, nothing changes but you can change.
