Eating Sick Animals- Bad Idea
How I got chronic illness is the same process everyone goes through to become old and sick- we become toxic waste dumps!
I've always known that our modern world was slowly killing us, but now that I experienced what a huge health hole I fell into, I have proof!
Our modern world, and our food is so poor, it destroys our immune systems, and accelerates ageing.
I actually had a better start in life than an average child.
I grew up on a farm.
Milk was straight from the cow. It was not homogenized. (There's more than enough information on the internet to show you how bad homogenized milk is for you.)
But my first experience that cow's milk was not great for us was when I was 13 years old. I had bad acne.
A doctor, 25 years ago, told me to get off dairy. I was shocked! I told him I was drinking fresh, raw farm milk.
I knew store bought milk tasted like stinky plastic, and it hurt my stomach. I thought fresh milk from the source was good for me. My dad and granddad grew upon the stuff.
But my doctor told me milk, even raw milk, was full of hormones to make a calf grow very fast. And these hormones mess with my own teenage hormones.
Technically, milk was good for my dad and granddad. While it wasn't ideal, it was something for them to eat during the 7 or 8 months where nothing was growing and not having any fresh fruit or veggies.
Same goes for meat and eggs. During their lives, there wasn't international produce at stores.
I think if they really wanted to, they could have found a guide to show them how to make better use to native plants. And they could have stored nuts and seeds and dried wild edibles in their refrigerators. They store for a year.
They could have grown all kinds to tropical fruits, nuts and seeds, by letting them grow outside during warm weather, and then bringing them inside for winter. They won't actually grow much during the low light of winter, but they will survive until they can go outside again.
On the farm, we had fresh eggs picked every morning. Eggs from the store are already a couple days old. Fresh eggs are cooked that morning, so they may never make their way to the fridge. So unless you have chickens, drop those old eggs you get from the store.
Let's talk about meat. Happy, healthy animals need vitamin D just like us.
How do they get it? Well, they live outside. They only go in the barn when it's extremely cold outside, up in Canada that is. The rest of the time, even when there is snow on the ground, they're outside.
Fresh air gives them alkaline bodies.
Animals crave food based on what their bodies need, just like us. And a farmer supplements what they eat by giving them grains and hay and pellets with the total minerals they need.
Healthy animals are allowed to spend all day eating grasses, dandelions and roots straight out of the ground.
Chickens even eat the grains that didn't get eaten from previous days, but have now sprouted into little plants.
In early spring, when cows are outside, they usually ignore hay (which is dry grasses) because there is so much green vegetation everywhere. Of course animals choose green over dried, and this is a good example for us.
Animals love and instinctively know that baby sprouted plants taste better and are more nutritious than grown up plants, or even worse, dried plants.
It is also important to note how unhealthy animals are in the winter months. It's not their choice but to eat old, dry hay and dry grains a farmer gives them during winter.
It's not their choice to be in the barn and not get sunshine. But they would freeze outside, so the farmer keeps them in. This causes them to be depressed, and sluggish.
(The one good thing they have going for them is, their food source doesn't get washed. Therefore, there is plenty of good bacteria living on the dried plants. Good bacteria keeps their immune systems strong.)
When they do get to go out to pasture in spring, you should see how excited and happy they are.
As a child, I was almost run over by a cow!
She was running towards me kicking up her back legs. She was having so much fun jumping up and down in spring time, that she couldn't see me in her blind spot, right between her eyes.
And I was SO shocked to see this huge animal quickly dancing towards me, that I froze.
Thankfully, a little boy grabbed my arm, and pulled me to the side. And the surprised cow slammed on her brakes, and stopped right where I was standing!
The cow was just as shocked as I was. A docile cow almost trampled me unwittingly, because I was in this crazy critter's blind spot.
The point is, it was spring time!
The sun was shining, and there was yummy, fresh, green plants everywhere. And this cow was excited to start a healthy life after a long winter.
However, as all ancient cultures know, because of lack of sunshine, fresh food and air, we are not as healthy during winter. Our bodies and animal bodies become acidic. The immune system weakens, and fills up with parasites.
But spring is a new beginning.
The plants that spring up, like dandelions, clean our blood, and are full of oxygen to keep us even more alkaline. And
parasites are anaerobic so they die off.
It is important to note WHEN small farmers (that's self-sufficient for their family only), butcher their animals.
It's in the fall. Why?
Because after spring, summer and fall, full of fresh air, fresh vegetation, the animals are at their healthiest. So they taste better!
The animals are highly alkaline and highly oxygenated. When the meat is cooking, it smells beautiful!
Hunters also know it's best to hunt in the fall.
Winter or spring meat tastes horrible, based on the animal eating twigs, and losing much of their fat. They may also have more
parasites and toxins.
Interestingly, deer meat tastes best in the fall, after beach nuts are plentiful. Deer LOVE the raw food diet too!
Animals usually have their babies in the spring. This gives the mother many months of fresh nutrition, which she turns into wonderful milk for the baby.
So keep all this in mind when you eat animal products from the store.
These animals are being killed, giving milk, laying eggs- year round- when they are not at their healthiest!
Store bought animals lives are much worse than animals that spend a few months in a barn during winter.
These animals are sicker than humans! They are being horribly treated because they never in their whole lives get to live naturally. They don't choose their food, play outside, live in social groups, bask in the sun, or take dust baths. How can they be healthy?
Keep this in mind if you continue to eat animal products. We don't need animal products, and will anti-age without them.
But during your transition, look for organic or better yet, wild game, that's been killed in the fall when animals are their healthiest. And then freeze all your meat, for your year round cooking. You will need a deep freezer to do this.
And remember, meat cooking should smell beautiful. If it is a healthy, alkaline, oxygenated animal, it should smell good with no sauces or onions or garlic cooking with it.
If you are cooking hamburger, and it smells yucky until you add onions or garlic, that animal is extremely unhealthy. It is full of nasty toxins, and loaded with parasites.
You may think: no big deal. The
parasites die when cooked. But parasites are the very lowest possible meat quality on the planet.
If they survive and thrive in your body, their poop is highly toxic to our bodies, and they live in the best place to absorb the nutrition that is supposed to be ours. It's much better to avoid them.
An alkaline, oxygenated body is just a bad home for them.
So if I was eating lots of fruit and vegetables, but I was still eating meat, I would spend my money on organic meat, instead of organic produce.
The reason is: toxins accumulate in fat.
Therefore, higher up on the food chain, there are more toxins.
Outside of organic farming, they're forcing cows, who are vegetarians, to eat meat. They eat ground up, other animals. Cows are supposed to be eating green plants that are still attached to the ground.
The meat they're putting in the feed for animals is something that they can't sell to humans. That meat in the feed is absolutely disgusting.
And that's how mad cow came about. They were feeding cows to cows.
So toxins just build-up, and build-up, and build-up...
And this also goes for fish. The bigger the fish, the more little fishes they ate in their lifetime. And the older the fish, the more fishes they ate in their lifetime. The smaller the fish, the better!
Even on our farm, which was just self-sufficient, when I was little, I saw a pig eat a dead mouse.
That REALLY grossed me out!
I knew that the cows just ate plants, so their meat must be clean. But after seeing that pig, it always turned me off pork. Whether we like it or not, pigs are scavengers.
Most of us, when we think about eating snake meat, our stomach tosses.
But snakes in the wild, don't eat anything dead. They only catch their food fresh. So technically, their meat is probably cleaner.
Any animal that eats something dead- I don't think the meat belongs in our bodies.
You should also know about WHERE your meat's coming from. I know that stress made me acidic.
I had to lower my stress for my body to become more alkaline.
If you've ever seen videos of how chickens are being raised, that aren't on organic farms, they actually cut off the ends of their beaks.
And the reason they do this is because the chickens are so close together, and so stressed, that they peck each other to death.
How much more stressed out do you have to be to do something like that?
Chickens need a huge amount of area to be happy and healthy.
I also saw a video once of a farmer who went into his barn. And there were SO many chickens in there, he was wearing a mask.
And I thought, "Why would anybody want to eat that meat? The chickens aren't wearing masks".
If it's bad for the human, it's bad for the chickens!
Up in Canada, we have AAA beef, and it is expensive!
But when you drive into the mountains, and you see the cows grazing...in the most beautiful place, I think in the world...right beside the mountains...and the cowboy makes them move to different areas...THAT'S expensive!
Cows need SO much land to graze and graze and graze!
From the time, even when snow's on the ground, until it snows again- it's a LONG time.
So meat is SO expensive.
It may be easier for you to go off meat if you actually KNOW what you're eating.
And the same is true for milk. Milk can't be healthy if the animal's not healthy.
Same with eggs...
Eggs have to come from healthy, happy chickens. Perhaps get to know the farmers in your area, if you can. Make a friend with a farmer.
We want to be eating the highest quality meat because the toxins build-up in sick animals.
If you're going to be eating healthy meat, it is going to be expensive!
It's better for you to eat less meat, but a higher quality, than a lot of meat that is HORRIBLE for you!
