Bush's Budget Blunder to Irritate Bowels - Johne's Disease

Got diarrhea? Blame it on Bush and the dairy industry.

Diarrhea defines irritable bowel syndrome, colitis,
and Crohn's Disease. Cases of each condition will be
on the increase if consumers continue to drink milk
and eat dairy products thanks to George Bush's
constipated economists.

White House genuises have assigned bombs and
bullets a higher priority than human health,
and the best way to profit from W's latest
budget cut will be to purchase shares of stock
in the Charmin toilet paper company.

Every dairy farmer in America is aware of Johne's
Disease. Cows get Johne's Disease after being infected
with mycobacterium paratuberculosis. Heat treatment
(pasteurization) does not destroy these bacteria,
and Johne's in cows translates into irritable bowel
syndrome, ulcerative colitis, and Crohn's Disease
in humans. Forty million or more American dairy
consumers have been affected.

In the proposed 2006 budget, government funding for
Johne's disease control will be cut from $18.76
million to just $3 million. That's enough money to
pay for the airing of one 30-second Super Bowl football
commercial. That amount of money basically negates
the possible effectiveness of any such program designed
to eradicate Johne's Disease. While I am most definitely
not a fan of farm subsidies, I make the exception when
it comes to any measure designed to eradicate this most
serious milk-borne illness. A decrease in Johne's
funding removes a possible antidote to the poison.

A Not-so Pleasant Thought

Johne's in cows is a new plague, and the bacterium may
soon be thriving in your bloodstream, and you'll never
again for the rest of your life have a normal bowel
movement. You can become infected by drinking just one
glass of milk, or by swallowing your next bite of cheese.

Scare tactics or real science? Let's put it this
way. Don't read the rest of this column, and ignore

The September, 2004 issue of the most esteemed British
medical journal, The Lancet (364: 1039-44), confirms
that the blood from Crohn's patients is teeming
with bacteria (mycobacterium paratuberculosis)
that cause irritable bowels and worse.

Dirty disgusting dangerous pathogens from diseased
animals pass directly to you from their tainted
body fluids. Concentrated in the cheese and ice cream.
Is it worth the risk to continue eating such toxic
disease-bearing food?

In their study, scientists at the Department of Molecular
Biology and Microbiology at the University of Central
Florida cultured mycobacterium paratuberculosis directly
from the blood of patients suffering from Crohn's Disease.
Data from their experiment suggest that this bacterium
may very well be the cause of Crohn's Disease.

So, what else is new? We've been making that same claim,
based upon scientific evidence, since June of 1998:

How many people with irritable bowels, ulcerative colitis,
and Crohn's Disease would have been spared a lifetime of
suffering, had the truth been released to all people eight
years ago? The most painful part of this unprecedented
conspiracy of silence is that gastroenterologists knew the
truth, but remained mute. So too did the folks at USDA. Of
course, this bacterium is the biggest fear of America's
dairy industry. They knew, and continued to poison trusting
Americans.

Numbers do not lie. In September of 1996, the Proceedings
for the National Academy of Sciences reported in their journal:

"Mycobacterium paratuberculosis RNA was found in 100%
of Crohn's disease patients, compared with 0% of controls."

The most serious bacterial disease of cows is caused by
mycobacterium paratuberculosis. Mycobacterium paratuberculosis
causes a bovine disease called "Johne's." Cows diagnosed with
Johne's Disease have diarrhea and heavy fecal shedding of
bacteria. This bacteria becomes cultured in milk and is not
destroyed by pasteurization. Occasionally, the milk borne
bacteria will begin to grow in the human host, and irritable
bowel syndrome and Crohn's results.

How long has the scientific establishment known about this
horror story? In 1992, the Journal of Clinical Microbiology
(1992;30(12):3070-3073) reported:

"It is reasonable to conjecture that M. paratuberculosis
may be responsible for some cases of Crohn's disease."

Is there proof that dairy farmers knew? On January 24, 1995,
Hoard's Dairyman, the national dairy farmers magazine, revealed:

"Johne's disease and Crohn's disease are remarkably similar
in clinical signs and intestinal pathology."

In February of 1998, a study performed by J. Hermon-Taylor
and published in the British Medical Journal revealed:

"Mycobacterium Paratuberculosis crosses the species
barrier to infect and cause disease in humans."

Why didn't you know this? Because...your doctor did not
tell you. He or she reads medical journals. Was there
not an obligation to inform patients? Keeping people
sick is certainly good for business.

Does pasteurization destroy mycobacterium paratuberculosis?
Not on your life. The March, 1998 issue of Applied
Environmental Microbiology revealed:

"Mycobacterium paratuberculosis is capable of surviving
commercial pasteurization, when there are more than 10
bacteria per milliliter in raw milk."

In her "Ministry of Healing," Ellen G. White wrote
(page 271):

"In order to have good health, we must have good blood;
for the blood is the current of life. It repairs waste
and nourishes the body. When supplied with the proper
food elements and when cleansed and vitalized by contact
with pure air, it carries life and vigor to every part
of the system."

White wrote about diet's role in maintaining good
blood. She never suspected that human blood could
become contaminated by a bacterial infection.

Bacteria in the bloodstream? Your kids? Your family?
Your friends? You? Before it's too late, take the advice
of a man who was once chief of pediatrics at Johns Hopkins
Medical College. Long before he knew of the Crohn's
connection, Dr. Frank Oski wrote a book with this title:

"Don't Drink Your Milk!"
