Brucellosis, or undulant fever, may be contacted by eating the meat or

drinking

the raw milk of infected animals. Modern commercial meat and dairy animals are

susceptible to this disease-their health is often poor as a result of

overcrowded quarters, a lack of fresh grass and exercise, and overuse of

chemicals for their management.Animals are best kept partly at pasture and in

uncrowded conditions. If allowed to exercise and inspected regularly, they

produce milk and meat that is healthy and safe.

Occurance of bruccellosis in cows was correlated with trace mineral

deficiencies in Pottenger's article " Brucella Infections " (The Merck Report

1949). Minerals present in tissues of healthy cows were found on spectographic

analysis to be missing in tissues of cows with brucella infections. Cows fed

the trace minerals manganese, cobalt, copper, and iodine were immune when

exposed to the disease in other animals.

In subsequent work with more than eighteen hundred patients with brucellosis,

Pottenger found that supplements of these minerals (together with his dietary

program)consistently resulted in significant improvements in blood picture,

visible symptoms, and the patients sense of well being. The previous diet of

nearly every patient indicated a state of malnutrition long before symptoms of

brucellosis first came to attention. This underscores the susceptibility of

weakened individuals to infection from contaminated food.

The corollary of increased susceptibilty of weakened individuals to the spread

of disease from animals is that healthy individuals are resistant to such

spread. That is why the primitive Africans were resistant to organisms causing

so much disease among whites in Africa, and it is why traditional people

everywhere ate animal life without fear of infection. The animals were by and

large healthy, but the first line of defense was the superior resistance of

the

people.That this resistance was in part the result of eating the animal

life-much of it lightly cooked, some of it raw-completed the circle of cause

and effect.

Hi Wanita,

With all due respect to Schmid, I'm not sure that his link of raw

milk and brucellosis is correct. Dr. s says unequivocally in the

Milk Book that brucellosis does not come from contaminated milk.

Dr. Schmid talks of Pottenger's article on cows and brucellosis (Merck

Report, July 1949). He then talks about Pottenger's work with 1800

patients who had brucellosis and how he used the same treatment for

humans that he used on cows to bring improvement.

*Nowhere is there a reference that these 1800 patients got brucellosis

from drinking raw milk.* Dr. Schmid has made a logical error, assuming

that correlation and causation are the same thing. It might rain in

Seattle every time I step outside. My appearance outside can certainly be

*correlated* with rain, but to say I *caused* it to rain by stepping

outside is to take a logical flight of fancy.

Brucellosis is not contracted through the drinking of raw milk but rather

through direct contact with an infected animal. To quote s, " The

farmer or other adult milking the cow would often get brucellosis, but

his children, who drank most of the milk, seldom got the disease. "

Hi Bianca,

Was hoping someone could shed some more light on this and that the disease

behind the sterilization laws was blown out of proportion. Disturbs me even

more with the wild bison herd of Yellowstone that has been destroyed slowly

every year since '97 for leaving its boundaries because of brucellosis concern

by outlying ranchers. The bison have antibodies but no disease. Has always

been

my theory that their wild diet from untouched land is why. What's the ISBN for

The Milk Book? Got everything but at addall.com on my search.
