Kefir for killing mastitis or ecoli etc

[Guest guest]

Greetings, I thought this article might be of interest to you/ and /or group:

At FAQ #21 of the website of Dominic N Anfiteatro, (DOM), (url:

http://users.sa.chariot.net.au/~dna/kefir-faq.html ) kefir's abilities to

control weed organisms of many different kinds is discussed. Especially

relevant to dairy farmers is a discussion which I had failed to see before on

his extensive site. I am posting on it here to help give some possibilites for

handling cases of mastitis with something other than antibiotics which can cause

as many problems as they cure. From the line on down is the quote with

researchers names, etc. wherein I have added bold and underline highlights to

make the relevant information easier to find.

Important Information of sorts To Chew your Cud On

" Prof. José Wiest - Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. This

professor along with many other scientists interested in this field, oriented a

master's thesis, the object of which was to verify the hygienic-sanitary

characteristics of kefir samples. The preparation of kefir entails a lot of

handling, and the study aimed to survey possible contamination. Wiest stated:

We collected six different samples of kefir and no type of contamination

whatsoever was found in any of them. This result gains relevance when we

consider that the kefir found in southern Brazil was brought there in the mid

19th century by immigrants from Eastern Europe. One can imagine the multitude of

different hands that those grains were subjected to over that time, and just in

that location let along previous handling by multitudes of individuals who used

the grains from which those in Brazil were derived.

Having proven kefir's resistance to contamination from handling by ordinary

people in home environments, the researchers decided to induce contamination of

kefir samples by coliform [faecal bacteria]. After three days, the samples were

again completely free of contamination. According to Wiest, kefir has a

microbial complex that frees antibiotics, ensuring control of the colony and

making it resistant to fungus and salmonella.

The professor's specialty is veterinary medicine and researchers are currently

studying the therapeutic effect of replacing antibiotics with kefir in the

treatment of cow-teat infections. Some cows sensitive to biogenic bacteria no

longer respond to modern antibiotics, he says. The object of this experiment is

to discover if kefir is efficient in combating these bacteria ... If the results

are satisfactory, we will be able to produce milk that is totally free of

antibiotics. [This information was kindly translated and provided by Doris Ethel

Very interesting article and a reminder of kefir as a healing

food.

Is this in Dr. 's protocol at all.

Any thoughts on milk versus water kefir?

I'm very interested...

Thanks.

Greetings, I haven't found any references in Dr. 's writings referencing

kefir at all. I too would like to know. Her indices are very incomplete in the

books. I believe one can do a better job online with the books there, but not

all are there. I don't recall if I've searched that as a keyword or not. When

I am reading in the hard copies, I try to insert numbers from pages of keywords

I look up from time to time and " stumble across " in her books. My additions are

counting up. If anyone has knowledge of her teachings on kefir I would be

interested ... OR for yogurt as we would be able to make an extrapolation from

that since kefir has about 8X as many beneficial microflora of all types as

yogurt does.
