The Food and Drug Administration has been ordered by federal
court to further investigate the damaging effects of wide spread use of
antibiotics in animal feed on humans.
Antibiotic abuse has caused alarming rates of antibiotic-resistant
bacteria also known as super bugs.

Farming groups, drug makers, members of Congress and
aggressive lobbyists have allowed past judgments and orders to remain idle and
untouched for more than three decades.
It has been argued that the drugs are needed for animals to be healthy
in such barbaric and inhumane living conditions.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has concluded
the use of antibiotics in our poultry and livestock causes antibiotic-resistant
bacteria to flourish since 1977. No
action has been taken since.
Recently, Judge Theodore Katz is requiring the FDA to
withdraw two of the most common antibiotics that is mixed in the feed of
animals. The judge sided with four
consumer safety and advocacy groups to enforce the three decade old ruling.
The attorney for the Natural Resources Defense Council
stated that we need to ensure and preserve justice. Ironically the ruling will not take immediate
effect. The court is required to give
the antibiotic dealing drug companies a chance to respond in a public hearing.
It is estimated that 80 percent of antibiotics are used by
farm animals in the United States. The
loose dealing hand of the drug companies and farmers are not just for sick
animals. The antibiotics are mixed into
their grain to trigger additional growth to speed them to slaughter.
Spoon Feeding
Antibiotics
One of the major problems is the impact on the
environment. Antibiotics and their
residue chemicals can run off into lakes, rivers, streams and contaminate
entire eco-systems. The drug run-off
“biotics” then find themselves in the fish, chicken, beef and other commonly
consumed food items. Inadvertently you
are feeding your children antibiotics that can create an array of health
conditions such as ear infections, allergies, asthma and immune system
disorders.
The surge in toxic accumulation is creating a new era of spectrum
conditions in children, autoimmune diseases, heart disease, diabetes and even
cancer. The known damaging effects of
antibiotics is creating disease, bankrupting families and causing our youngest
generation to perish from conditions that were never heard of 20 years ago.
Toxic Relief
The human body is absolutely amazing. The body is designed to respond to the toxic
stressors in our environment and not produce dis-ease. The recent onslaught of chemicals in our
environment, toxic homes and work areas, cleaning products, personal care items
and our diets can accumulate over time and overwhelm the body’s response.
The addition of toxic antibiotics in our food supply is an
added chemical stress on the body. The
side effects and the diseases that it has caused is due to the inability of the
body to handle it naturally.
Where’s The Beef?
One of the most important action steps is to ensure you know
where you are getting your meats from. A
label stating that it is “farm raised” or “grass fed” may not be enough. Find a local source of healthy, non-infested
meat that you can be rest assured that you are not poisoning your body.
Exercise is an important detoxification mechanism of the
body. If you are not exercising, you are
likely toxic. Exercise improves
circulation, reduces toxin storage in fat cells, builds lean muscle, facilitates
digestion / excretion and most importantly balances the neurology of the body.
Other nutritional
advice includes
- Eat more vegetables
- Eat more lean and clean meat
- Eat more nuts and seeds
- Eat healthier fats
- Drink more water
