Re: Fwd: Posing as a Farmer

Say Barb,

>>>> Stick some hay in your hair or hanging out of your pocket.

Wear overalls. Dust your face with grain. Continually sneeze or

cough while you are there. Smell like a farm animal.<<<<<

I will have you know that I happen to be a farmer and I am sure I

don't smell like a farm animal, at least they have not complained

yet.

I was at a Cenex Harvest States convention supper in Dec 2003 in

Minneapolis right after my son's breathing problems all year and

asthma attack in Oct which were in remission because of the fresh

air pumped into our house. I sat next to an older dairy farmer and

we started talking. It seems he sold off his herd because the kids

went to college for other occupations and he was ready to retire.

One weekend he wanted to clean out the silo. He told me that all

silos develop a mold ring on top from the wet unprotected silage

there. His kids broke off the mold ring while he shoveled it out

the small door at the bottom. He was rushed to the emergency room

that day with an asthma attack. He went to the Mayo Clinic and they

put him on steriods and maybe singulair, I can't remember. This is

the Mayo clinic that knows all about fungus and sinuses, yet they

gave no antifungal to him.

While in Texas with my son at Dr. 's office, I told

him of this farmer. Dr. said that man does not need to be

on steriods.

This man lived 20 miles from Minneapolis and there is a new highway

going up which will pass his farm. Even if he only owned 160 acres,

at $20,0000/acres he will retire nicely. I understood him to say he

purchased his own oxygen chamber, pulled out his carpets which were

over nice hardwood floors. His wife said even if he walks into the

barn which still has some hay in it, he will be breathing badly that

evening.

While I am a grain farmer, I have been raising our own beef and do

not feed any grain so as to keep the mold and mycotoxins from being

passed through to the meat. I feed dairy quality alfalfa and hay

during the winter, pasture grass in the spring, summer, and fall.

The meat profile is also much different than what you buy in the

store(see eatwild.com). Today's feedlot cattle are grain fed and

hormone injected and must be fed low grade antibiotics because the

grain lowers the PH of the animal where hostile bacteria can

proliferate. The alfalfa is kept indoors and yes, the large round

outdoor hay bales get mold where they sit on the bottom and top, but

the cattle do not eat that if abundant food is available. I knock

the top off and eat the quality hay under it. They are picky if

they can afford to be. Side note, all of last 03-04 winter, my son

played on the large hay bales, but always with a simple double strap

mask on. He had no problems, although if I knew what I know now, I

would never have allowed him to play there. After a great winter

with no breathing problems, that spring he and his brother found a

barley pile after the snow melted and must have had one ____ of a

war judging from their boots and coats. He had two other accidental

exposures which were enough for us to have problems.

Mold has never bothered me to my knowledge although I wonder if it

has to a degree because I do know it did affect my youngest son

greatly as we fight it with Sporanox and no steriods or singulair

now.

Tell the doctor you visited a farm and was very sick after a hay

ride or a " roll in the hay " :^) Or wear blue jeans and a baseball

style hat and say you are a farmer, I rarely ever see overalls and

most of us do shower. But being a farmer did not help that dariy

farmer get anything for mold exposure, and he was at the Mayo clinic

no less.

During the first world war, a German artillery company refused to respond to

reveille or take their posts to fire on the English. They were held as

traitors and executed by firing squad. The horses that drew the cannons were

equally seen as useless or drugged by the traitor artillery company and were

likewise put down. This may be seen as nonsense but I investigated this as a

possible cause for my son's depression problems. I have so many friends and

family that have entered the local mental hospital with depression that I

needed to investigate. The pure maths of the problem appeared to me to be

disproportionate to the possibility of chance. I wondered if mental illness

was something that was communicable. I visited the hospital and the $1000

dollar an hour physiologist laughed at me suggestion but could not tell me

why my son was ill or how he could cure him.

Bottom line is depression can be caught from mold, The German incident was

at a town called BORNA and that is now known to be Borna disease. The

military could not believe that all the soldiers and horses rebelled and

investigated after the executions. Guess what they found? The hay from the

horse feed had got wet and a mold developed which caused all symptoms. This

is an aflatoxin and extremely dangerous.
