[Guest guest]

Ms. Renzi has granted my permission to post this post on the nn listserv.

It was originally posted on the continnum concept listserv at the below

address. Can anyone reply to this - I can forward all emails to her or post

to the cc list any replies as long as you give my permission. Looking

forward to any/all responses, as I am curious about this as well.

Re: [TCC] Nourishing Traditions- the book

O.K., I have to introduce this pretty frightening concern. I'm hoping that

you'll heed this warning, or that some of the very well read folks on this

list will assuage my fears. Apparently a huge number of cows in many

countries carry something called the Bovine Leukemia Virus.. on the net, I

saw estimates ranging from 30 to 90 percent of cows. This retrovirus is

supposed to be killed by pastuerization or freezing but can be present in

raw milk or meat. It has been found extensively in human breast tissue and

is being studied by a woman named Buehring at U.C. Berkeley to see if it is

connected to breast cancer, and there is also concern about other cancers,

including lymphatic cancers. Yikes and double yikes! I recently called our

local organic/raw milk dairy to ask whether their cows are screened for the

virus and they said they had never heard of it, though this is very hard to

believe... maybe they were the secretaries and didn't bother to question the

farmers.

There are commercial products to screen for the virus, but not to eliminate

it.

I was very interested in using raw milk and following the Nourishing

Traditions diet, especially since my kids have had big problems with tooth

decay, so if someone has the means to debunk this concern, I will certainly

welcome the information (as will everyone else I may now have terrified.)

Thanks,

Permission granted to pass this message along.

My number one question is: How many people have been infected by this virus

as a direct result of consuming raw milk or meat. And of those infected how

many have contracted a disease from it.

The information seems very skimpy to me. Were this virus serious and had it

been around very long I would be very surprised if the no milk/no meat crowd

would had not jumped on it.

California has allowed the sale of raw milk for quite some time. Were this

virus present there and causing damage I'm sure we would have known long

ago. Again, our " friends " in the no milk/no meat bunch would have informed

us.

May I have permission to put this letter on another group that is for

people who follow the Nourishing Traditions way of eating like myself?
