Meat and Manure Germs

When an animal is killed the mucous lining of the intestines loses its protecting power and allows the manure
germs (putrefactive bacteria) to swarm through the organs
and the tissues of the animal.

“Vegetarianism: The Case for Vegetarianism.” Dr. J. Hoffman.

Because the meat of a freshly killed animal is tough, the meat processor relies on putrefactive bacteria from the colon to break down the tissues and make the meat tender.

The butcher will say that he allows the meat to "ripen", but in truth he is only allowing a process of putrefaction, the very process that takes place in the colon.

The butcher allows colon germs to swarm through the meat and partially digest it.

“Vegetarianism: The Case for Vegetarianism.” Dr. J. Hoffman.

Meat & Manure Germs

One ounce piece of
hamburger steak
contain over 70
million manure germs.

One ounce of calf
manure contain only
15 million.

“Vegetarianism: The Case for Vegetarianism.” Dr. J. Hoffman.

Meat Has Stimulatory Effect

The animalistic nature of humans is strengthened by meat-eating.

The use of flesh meat stimulates more intensely the lustful propensities and enfeebles moral and spiritual nature.

Effects of Hormones in Animal Products

A recent study has shown that young girls in the U.S. appear to be developing signs of puberty at a younger age than previously believed.
Girls are developing at an average age of 8-10 years old.

Effects of Hormones in Animal Products

"Early onset of puberty with its raging hormones translates into higher risk of breast cancer" and it is "very likely" that hormone residues in North American beef is a contributing factor in the early onset of puberty among girls observed in recent decades.”

Carlos Sonnenschein, from Tufts University School of Medicine (Boston, MA),

1980 CDC Investigations

Increase in cases of girls reaching puberty or menarche early (8 or younger) in Puerto Rico, led to an investigation in the early 1980s by the Centers for Disease Control.

1980 CDC Investigations

Laboratories found a chicken sample from a local market to have higher than normal levels of estrogen.

Residues of zeranol were reported in the blood of some of the girls who had reached puberty early.

Effects of Hormones in Animal Products

In another study in Italy, steroid hormone residues in beef and poultry in school meals were suspected as the cause of breast enlargement in very young girls and boys.

Dairy and Calcium Loss

“The problem with milk and other dairy products is that they are not only rich in calcium but they are also high in protein, which has been shown to create calcium loss through the urinary tract.”

New Century Nutrition. The Great American Milk Myth. Dr. Charles R. Attwood.

Bacteria and Viruses in Milk

Pasteurization does not
sterilize milk.

One glass of milk contains five million
bacteria after pasteurization.

Government allows
up to 10 coliform bacteria (bacteria from cow stool) per milliliter after pasteurization.

“Infectious Agents in Milk.” Proof Positive. Neil Nedley, M.D. 1998:p. 246.

U.S. Public Health Service Regulation:

Milk, after pasteurization, should contain no more than 20,000 bacteria per milliliter of milk and no more than 10 coliform bacteria in each milliliter.

Ten per milliliter = 2,500 per 8-oz. glass.

CNN Health Article

Researchers found that people who ate a low-fat vegan diet, cutting out all meat and dairy, lowered their blood sugar more and lost more weight than people on a standard American Diabetes Association diet.

They lowered their cholesterol more and ended up with better kidney function.

“Vegan diet reverses diabetes symptoms, study finds.” CNN.com, Friday, July 28, 2006; Posted 12:08 p.m. Report published in Diabetes Care, a journal published by the American Diabetes Association.

Patient Case Study

"Patients fed a vegan (meat and dairy free) diet during an intensive 12-day live-in program experienced an average reduction of 11% in total cholesterol levels.

“Most patients also lost weight and had improved blood pressure levels."

What About Calcium?

Dairy Foods: Poor Calcium Source

Only 25% (75 mg per cup) of calcium from cow’s milk is absorbable.

High phosphorus in cow’s milk causes a poor absorption rate
of calcium.

All the nutrients we need can be obtained without resorting to dairy foods.

“Cow’s Milk Alternatives are Now Available.” Proof Positive. Neil Nedley, M.D. 1998:p. 252.

Plant Sources of Calcium Are More Absorbable by our Bodies

Humans absorb as much more of the calcium in plant products than they do from milk.

How About Iron?

Iron is found in a wide variety of plant foods, especially beans and grains.
Adding vitamin C to meals increases plant iron absorption.
Coffee, tea, and calcium supplements can all decrease iron absorption.

Tips for Optimum Nutrition

Adopt a plant-based pure vegetarian diet.

Use whole (unrefined) grains such as whole wheat bread and brown rice instead of
white bread and white rice.

Eliminate rich concentrated foods containing too much sugar, fats, and oils, salt, and protein (meat and other animal products.

“Instructions on Eating.” God’s Healing Way. 2004:p. 9. Mary Ann McNeilus, M. D.

Tips for Optimum Nutrition

Do not eat between meals. Meals should be eaten 6 hrs. apart.

Eat 2-3 meals a day making supper your smallest and lightest meal.

Supper should be eaten at least 2-3 hrs. before bedtime.
