Guest guest Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 I hate to bring this topic up again. I've been listening to a CD by Getoff of the Price-Pottinger Foundation, titled Healthy Weigh Loss. When asked about pork, he said that four independent scientists that didn't know each other have demonstrated that the blood of healthy people starts to resemble that of cancer patients after eating pork. Specifically here is the transcript: =====transcript start There is enough research on pork, from four different scientists, none of whom knew each other, that all did different work on what is called dark field microscopy, that appeared to show, and nobody has ever disproven this, that if you look at somebody's blood that is very healthy, and then you let that person eat some pork, even if it is organic free-range and everything is correct, that within a half an hour to an hour and a half, changes occur in the blood, visible, that make their blood start to look more like the blood of a cancer patient. I don't know what's going on with it. I haven't reproduced that myself. But, I am convinced there is probably a problem and so if somebody said is there one meat that you would not consume, I would say pork. ========transcript stop Anybody know anything else about this? I see that there will be a speaker on the subject of Dark Field Microscopy at the WAPF conference this year. Maybe somebody can ask!

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 Just wondering.... What is meant, first of all, by blood that resembles that of cancer patients? Is that even a meaningful description? Do cancer patients all have the same thing going on with their blood? All kinds of cancer? I'm no expert on cancer so I haven't the foggiest idea whether this makes any sense or not. Obviously, if there really is something to this, I'd like to know, but vague warnings from unnamed scientists are hardly persuasive. Not meaning to dump on you, Kathy, thanks for taking the time to type this up and send it. It would be nice to get definitive information one way or the other on this issue. " Dark field microscopy " is new to me. I'll try to do some searches on this.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 That's why I transcribed the text, so everyone could give credit to the speaker. :-) Mostly I posted this in case someone else had heard of these studies and could provide more information, and so that if someone is so inclined they can ask at the conference.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 http://www.darkfieldmicroscopy.com/ There is another version of darkfield microscope and is normally what is thought of when one mentions darkfield microscopy. It consists of a high power compound light microscope that has been fitted with an extra powerful illumination source and a special darkfield condenser. This condenser replaces the normal brightfield condenser found on all high quality compound light microscopes. It can be either a dry darkfield condenser or an oil immersion condenser. The light condenser is the critical component in a darkfield microscopy system. It takes normal transmitted brightfield illumination and changes the path of the light so it illuminates the specimen from the sides, thus creating the black field with brightly lit particles in a drop of live blood. This type of microscope is used by natural health clinics doing live blood cell analysis. The medical establishment has generally not been keen to support the concept of viewing live blood as a method of diagnosing and determining the health of a patient. In many instances, they completely omit and reject darkfield microscopy as a diagnostic instrument. This same medical establishment has also been resistant to natural health including the use of herbs and natural supplements as an alternative to the pushing of powerful pharmaceutical medical drugs. It is acknowledged by this author that there are certainly quack doctors out there that will use whatever instrument they can to make a fast dollar. *The results from a live blood cell analysis microscope can be misinterpreted and abused by any " health care professional " .* Jeanmarie Todd wrote: > > > Just wondering.... > What is meant, first of all, by blood that resembles that of cancer > patients?

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 It is hard to disprove something that is only presented to us by reference with no published studies that we can examine. So far this whole DFM pork thing amounts to hearsay and nothing more.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 I hear you, Pete. I'm open to being persuaded, but am not persuaded yet. This blanket statement from the darkfield microscopy website -- " This same medical establishment has also been resistant to natural health including the use of herbs and natural supplements as an alternative to the pushing of powerful pharmaceutical medical drugs. " -- doesn't impress me much. Because doctors are reluctant to prescribe herbs, we can throw out all of medicine? I don't think so. Medical science has its limitations (lack of nutrition training, for one, and the lingering effects of the fat/cholesterol hypothesis tainting what little nutrition training they get), but there is still a huge body of knowledge that can't be dismissed simply for lack of using darkfield microscopy. There might be good reasons for that, I just don't know. Looking forward to the report from the WAPF conference. Wish I could go...

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Hmmm, I'm looking at this website and it doesn't persuade me there are any actual scientists involved with it. It reads like a bad translation from another language. In the " about us " page what passes for credentials is this mention: " Our team is made of these well taught professional writers, editors as well as researchers that offer complete concern to their work, to give our respected readers a satisfying as well as dependable reference material for your research. " I also glanced at the articles, which read very much like someone trying to impress with big words that they really don't know how to use. The only comments on the articles are spam that should have been removed by the admin. I doubt very much that whoever wrote this site has ever worked as a writer or editor in any respected news organization and I see no evidence of actual science here. The ads are all Google ads, i.e., automatically generated by keywords, not that there are scientific equipment manufacturers buying space here intentionally. It seems to be just another bad marketing site.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 If you go to pubmed and search for " blood cancer pork " you get 11 hits. Some of the studies are just horribly designed and make completely unjustified conclusions... =============== Prostate. 2009 Apr 1;69(5):548-58. Dietary fatty acid quality affects AR and PPARgamma levels and prostate growth. CONCLUSION: Lard makes prostates larger. But they're testing far more than lard. They're testing confinement raised, pesticide fed, antibiotic fed, hormone injected, high heat processed, possibly has transfat vegetable oil and BHT/BHQ lard. ================= Asian Pac J Cancer Prev. 2008 Jan-Mar;9(1):71-5. Lifestyle-related risk factors for stomach cancer in northeast Thailand. CONCLUSION: Our study confirmed protective effects of a high intake of fruits and vegetables against stomach cancer development and showed a high intake of sauces to increase risk of stomach cancer as in other countries in Asia. (Pork oil was one sauce). But this is a large population study that only controlled for a tiny fraction of risk factors and behaviours that could contribute to stomach cancer. And again, what's in the pork oil? Pesticide or antibiotic residue, BHQ/BHT or other preservatives, transfat, etc? Or maybe it's something simple like the pork oil is used for frying or is rubbed on pork before BBQing. There simply aren't enough controls in this study to make it meaningful. ============== Int J Cancer. 2005 Jul 1;115(4):648-52. Prospective study of N-acetyltransferase-2 genotypes, meat intake, smoking and risk of colorectal cancer. CONCLUSION: Red meat causes colon cancer. This is another analysis of Nurses Health Study data which is fraught with problems because it uses dietary recall as a primary data collection method. And again, are they really studying red meat or read meat plus a raft load of novel molecules many of which are known carcinogens? Like why don't they use organic and pastured meat as a control? (Answer: cause truth doesn't really matter--read " Manufacture of Consent " by Chomsky to find out why) There were two other studies also investigating Heterocyclic amines (HAs) which are produced when you cook meat. So maybe it's not the meat, but the cooking. It's just amazing how much tunnel vision is involved in people's analysis of a problem. Eating raw meat is unthinkable in their minds so it never becomes a factor in the study. (I'm not a pro 100% raw meat person BTW, I'm just a regular WAPF-style eat some raw meat person) ============== I did find two studies investigating Ochratoxin A (OTA) which is a widespread mycotoxin present in pork meat, organs and blood: J Vet Pharmacol Ther. 2000 Apr;23(2):91-8. Ochratoxin A from a toxicological perspective. Food Chem Toxicol. 2003 Aug;41(8):1133-40. New data on the occurrence of ochratoxin A in human sera from patients affected or not by renal diseases in Tunisia. But if this is causing what they are seeing, they should also see it in any meat and from cereal grains as well. Mycotoxins, and OTA, are not exclusive to pork. OTA is produced mainly by the mould fungi Aspergillus ochraceus and Penicillum verrucosum commonly found on cereal grains. But again, maybe it's all the fungicides that they put in the food to help stop these molds that are causing the problems. Do these people have any clue how to design a study with controls? I don't think this is what they are seeing--if they are seeing anything at all. So out of the 11 studies, none even remotely sounded like " pork makes your blood look cancerous " . And if they were onto something, they haven't been able to get it published or haven't tried. Considering pork has been a traditional food for probably like 1-2 million years I wouldn't stop eating organic pastured pork. I would definitely suggest that you don't eat conventional, industrial, fecal farm, concentration camp pork.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Thanks, . =) I'm finding more and more of these published studies are garbage. The vaccine studies used for placebos... thimersol or a Hep B vaccine. Nice huh? And of course we all know the lipid hypothesis. But I still use PubMed when needed!

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 'Kathy' mentioned a speaker on dark-field microsopy at next month's WAPF conf .... this is neat to read just now b/c just this evening I saw Beverly Rubik's presentation at her office in Emeryville. There were a dozen of us. She'll do close to the same presentation at WAPF in Chicago. She did qualitative blood analysis of people who have been on the WAPF diet for quite some time (can't recall if she mentioned the length of time). The slides showed very clean blood. Beverly is a friend and colleague, super bright/knowledgeable ..... so, I hope you'll all get a chance to hear her/meet her. She's the one to go to have a good thorough look at your blood, arteries, HRV, and more. I bought the Jupitor Melody water filter from her a couple of years ago. and love it. Oh boy, this is becoming an infomercial... well, here's the blurb for her talk tonight... i think you'll be interested .... Studies on nutrition and drinking water in relation to health and wellness have been done using life blood analysis, in which the blood is magnified and visualized under a special microscope 8,000x. Exciting visual data in the form of photographs and videos of live human blood as seen under the microscope will be shown and explained. Witness the remarkable effects of certain dietary supplements and other factors on health and wellness at the cellular level. Beverly Rubik, Ph.D., is internationally recognized for her research at the cutting edge of science and medicine. She is also a faculty member in Integrative Health both at California Inst. of Integral Studies and Saybrook. She also maintains a holistic educational practice advising clients about nutrition, drinking water, exercise, stress reduction, and more, to enhance performance and well-being. RSVP to Beverly to reserve now, as space is limited. 510-428-4084 or brubik@...

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 If you eat a moderately healthy diet and have no illnesses your blood should look fine. However, you have to eat the pork within 24 hours for the effects of it to show in the blood according to Sally Fallon's sources even for healthy people. It would be nice to test people that consumed grassfed pastured pork. To seperate the people that consumed no pork that day, people that consumed only raw pork fat that day, people that consumed rendered pork fat that day, and people that consumed the pork lean tissue that day.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Actually, I don't think she said 24 hours. She said several hours. I don't know why I have that number stuck in my head. So you'll have to consume the pork a couple hours before getting the blood checked.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 Researchers, even though honest and competent, are limited, as we all are, by what they know or can imagine. If they have no idea that confinement farming makes a difference (most people probably haven't ever thought about how food animals are raised), it wouldn't occur to them to consider that a factor in study design. Thanks for finding this.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2009 Report Share Posted October 7, 2009 What is meant by " live human blood " as opposed to how any lab does blood analysis? A sample is drawn and stored in tubes, right? A bit is put on a slide to put under the microscope right? What's the difference here? Are preservatives or fixatives normally used but not used here? I'm just trying to understand what is meant by the terminology, what exactly is different about this procedure. If anybody knows, thanks.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 A couple of notes on the mycotoxin thing. First, this can be tested for in grain and often is because it can be harmful to livestock and not just humans. Second, there is a study I read a while back from the EU which showed feeding apple cores to hogs counteracted the affects of the mycotoxins. Besides the applicability to this issue this speaks strongly to the healthfulness of a diverse diet in feeding your animals and not relying on traditional corn/soy rations. But again, we're down to a problem with production practices and not the product itself.
