FOOD CHEMICALS:  FDA Fighting Ban on Antibiotics in Your Meat and Dairy

FDA Appeals Mandate to Ban Three Animal Antibiotics

Food Safety News,  News Desk

After a magistrate judge ruled that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration must act on its long-standing proposal to ban the use of three antibiotics in animal feed because they may contribute to antibiotic resistance in bacteria, FDA is appealing the decision.

The ruling came after a coalition of 5 nonprofit organizations filed a suit demanding that FDA take action on an announcement it made 35 years earlier in 1977 that it would ban the use of penicillin and two types of tetracycline in animal feed in light of evidence that this practice was contributing to antibiotic-resistant strains of human pathogens. 

If upheld, the decision will mandate FDA to follow through with drug company hearings that it must conduct in order to determine whether these drugs are indeed a threat to human health. If the antibiotics are found to be dangerous to humans, FDA must see that they are withdrawn from the market for use in animal feed.Read more »

Spleen desiccated was one of the first pills I was put on. This is also taken 3 times a day with meals.

“The spleen, an organ in the lymphatic system, forms both red and white blood cells in response to the body’s need for additional numbers of these types of blood cells caused by infection, anemia, or hemorrhage. The macrophages sent by the spleen remove pathogens of all kinds, old red blood cells and other debris from circulating blood.

Spleen (Desiccated) contains nutritional components of the entire bovine and ovine organs for short-term application to help support spleen health. It  supports healthy immune function  and maintains healthy blood.”

Just waking up in the morning and to be well,
Quite honest with ya, I ain’t really sleep well
Ya ever feel like your train of thought’s been derailed?

Gonna live life til we’re dead. Give me scars, give me pain
Then they’ll say of me, say of me, say of me
There goes the fighter, there goes the fighter, Here comes the fighter

If you fall pick yourself up off the floor and when your bones can’t take no more, Just remember what you’re here for.

I underwent 22 months of antibiotic treatment before my body couldn’t handle anymore. This included mixtures of pills, liquids and a total of 5 months on IV Rocephin. Along with antibiotics I was also taking anti-parasitics because I have co-infections Bartonella and Babesia. It was a constant rollercoaster, ups and downs, herx after herx since my protocol changed monthly. The IV really got rid of the bulk of my neurological/nervous system issues. I did pay for it though- I had to get my gallbladder removed and I experienced a lot of difficult side effects from all the drugs. Eventually, I ended up in the hospital with internal bleeding, gastritis and duodenitis and ulcers. That’s when I had to stop all my meds (this past November). I never went back on them because the associated pain from these problems never went away. I have found out the pain is more likely due to liver damage and it’s not worth it for me to keep taking drugs and killing an already hurt liver. Since January I have been seeing an alternative/holistic Dr, eating gluten-free and taking natural supplements and getting spine realignments. Slowly but definitely I have been seeing improvements, especially with my mental/emotional state. I have recently began juicing to help repair my liver. I intend for the natural stuff to heal me enough so I never have to go back on antibiotic treatment again. For some people it works wonders and they can handle it for very long amounts of times, but for people like myself it is too risky, and I guess that’s where the IDSA gets their argument that it’s unsafe. Only time can really tell because everyone’s body reacts differently. Good Luck, I’m here if you need me! :) 

that’d be fun lol

DAY 31: 

Lyme stole my life. Lyme stole my wife. 

“The thousands of enzyme systems that are responsible for virtually every body activity are constructed in the liver,” writes Dr. Karl Maret, M.D., about the importance of vibrant liver function. “The proper functioning of the eyes, the heart, the brain, the gonads, the joints, and the kidneys, are all dependent on good liver activity. If the liver is impaired from constructing even one of the thousands of enzyme systems the body requires, there is an impairment in overall body function and a resultant greater metabolic stress on the individual.”

THIS. 

“..Both are chronic conditions requiring prolonged, expensive treatment, and as with patients in the first two decades of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, “most patients with Chagas disease do not have access to health care facilities.” Unlike HIV, Chagas is not a sexually-transmitted disease:  it’s “caused by parasites transmitted to humans by blood-sucking insects,” as the New York Times put it. And while just 20 percent of those infected with Chagas develop a life-threatening form of the disease, Chagas is “hard or impossible to cure.”

Sounds a lot like Lyme disease if you ask me.. No surprise there consideringLyme is also considered the next epidemic and already outnumbers the cases of HIV/AIDS.
