E.coli superbug outbreak in Germany due to abuse of antibiotics in meat production   Thursday, June 02, 2011 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger Editor of NaturalNews.com (See all articles...)   Love it 15 Funny 0 OMG 12 Must read 59 Outrageous 12

4K Share 4K Facebook 236 Twitter (NaturalNews) The e.coli outbreak in Germany is raising alarm worldwide as scientists are now describing this particular strain of e.coli as "extremely aggressive and toxic." Even worse, the strain is resistant to antibiotics, making it one of the world's first widespreadsuperbug food infections that's racking up a noticeable body count while sickening thousands. Of course, virtually every report you'll read on this in the mainstream media has the facts wrong. This isn't about cucumbers being dangerous, because e.coli does not grow on cucumbers. E.coli is an intestinal strain of bacteria that only grows inside the guts of animals (and people). Thus, the source of all this e.coli is ANIMAL, not vegetable. But the media won't admit that. Because the whole agenda here is to kill your vegetables but protect the atrocious practices of the factory animal meat industries. The FDA, in particular, loves all these outbreaks because it gives them more moral authority to clamp down on gardens and farms. They've been trying to irradiate and fumigate fresh veggies in the USA for years. (http://www.naturalnews.com/023015_f...) Meanwhile, scientists have been cracking the code of this particular lethal strain of e.coli. Microbiologists from the University Clinic Hamburg-Eppendorf now say "A preliminary analysis pointed to possible reasons for this strain of E. coli's extreme aggressiveness and resistance to antibiotics. In addition, it can now be researched how this new type of E. coli strain developed, why the strain can spread at great speed and why the illness it unleashes is so serious." (http://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/Ki...) Complete blackout of the obvious source of this new strain The mainstream media is predictably pretending it has no idea where this new strain came from. They're all scratching their heads and just focusing on the "killer cucumbers" which is of course a particularly lame bit of disinfo. Want to know where this e.coli really came from? The abuse of antibiotics in factory animal farms. Factory animal farm operations, you see, raise cattle, pigs and chickens in such atrociously bad and dirty conditions that they have to pump them full of antibiotics just to avoid the rapid spread of infection. This constant dosing with antibiotics creates the perfect breeding ground for superbugs in the guts of these animals. Then, these animals defecate and drop billions of e.coli bacteria with their stools which are then collected and used as crop fertilizers. So the crops are actually grown in this stuff that's contaminated with animal fecal matter containing antibiotics-induced superbugs. The veggies grown in the e.coli fertilizer then get shipped to supermarkets, where people buy the produce and fail to wash it properly. Once they consume it, the e.coli goes to work in their own guts which are largely devoid of friendly flora because many people are also on antibiotics which wipe out their own intestinal flora, creating a perfect environment for food borne infection. That's when people start dying, you see. It's all basic cause and effect. So, you see, antibiotics play a double role in this tragedy: They're widely abused throughout the animal ranching industry, and they're also widely abused by doctors treating human patients. And yet the media is just strangely reluctant to print this obvious fact. They almost outright refuse to tell readers the truth: E.coli superbugs are an antibiotics problem, not a vegetable problem! What the press says about this outbreak - wow! Some astonishing quotes from the press: Chinese and German scientists analyzed the DNA of the E. coli bacteria and determined that the outbreak was caused by "an entirely new, super-toxic" strain that contains several antibiotic-resistant genes, according to a statement from the Shenzhen, China-based laboratory BGI. It said the strain appeared to be a combination of two types of E. coli. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4324754... "This is a unique strain that has never been isolated from patients before," Hilde Kruse, a food safety expert at the World Health Organization, told The Associated Press. The new strain has "various characteristics that make it more virulent and toxin-producing" than the many E. coli strains people naturally carry in their intestines. Preliminary genetic sequencing suggests the strain is a never before seen combination of two different E. coli bacteria, with aggressive genes that could explain why the outbreak appears to be so massive and dangerous, the agency said. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110602... How to protect yourself from e.coli On the practical side, what can you do to protect yourself from e.coli contamination of vegetables? There are FOUR simple things you can do: 1) EAT LOCAL. Grow your own food and / or buy from local farmers' markets. 2) WASH YOUR VEGGIES. If you wash them well, even e.coli won't be a problem. The e.coli is only present in those veggies that aren't adequately washed. 3) TAKE PROBIOTICS. The more "friendly" bacteria you have in your gut, the less space there is for toxic e.coli to take hold. The secret truth about these infections -- that you're not being told -- is that virtually everyone infected with toxic e.coli is someone with compromised digestive flora. Taking probiotics gives you a buffer against invading nasties. 4) AVOID ANTIBIOTICS. Most antibiotics are prescribed to humans by clueless doctors who prescribe them for things like viral infections and asthma, none of which are treated in the least by antibiotics. These four simple steps will protect nearly everyone from e.coli infections acquired through food. So why doesn't the mainstream media teach people these four simple steps? Because they're too busy blaming cucumbers, tomatoes and spinach, I guess. They're utterly ignorant of the simple dynamics of e.coli superbug mutation and propagation. Food safety isn't rocket science, folks. It's simpler than you've been told. And it's based on the fundamental idea that you shouldn't raise cattle, hogs and chicken in dirty, inhumane conditions requiring a constant dose of chemical antibiotics just to keep them alive.     Articles Related to This Article: • The End of Antibiotics and the Rise of Iodine as an Effective Alter... • The End of Antibiotics • Antibiotics Kill Eighty Thousand Chinese a Year • Negative Reactions to Antibiotics  • Antibiotics May Make Us Fat • Hospitals Are Breeding Grounds for Superbugs Related video from NaturalNews.TV   Your NaturalNews.TV video could be here.  Upload your own videos at NaturalNews.TV (FREE)    About the author: Mike Adams is a natural health researcher, author and award-winning journalist with a mission to teach personal and planetary health to the public He has authored and published thousands of articles, interviews, consumers guides, and books on topics like health and the environment, reaching millions of readers with information that is saving lives and improving personal health around the world.

Lack of parental involvement mostly...

[PHILIP SCHNEIDER]

We're the highest tech consumers of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean goods but we can't get our students passed 6th grade reading.

Must be something in that darned water.

[Sandra]

I don;t drink bottled water, for the most part it comes from someone else's water system and the plastic BPE is very bad for ya. Learn to grow what you can, when you can. Canning is a lost art these days.. China has bought up a lot of ouer water resources and they sell it back as bottled water, nice isn't it!

[PHILIP SCHNEIDER]

Or . . . .  is this a trial run by terrorists of their newest delivery system of a weapon of mass destruction?

Our food sources and drinking water are such en easy target. They even bottle the water and ? for us and make it available 24/7.

[Sandra]

I agree, go to local farms when you can't grow your own. Here in SW FL we grow in the winter so now is not our time.  

Teresa, I have read in the past year that EGGS are OK, they put out false propaganda and now have changed there minds as usual. It is IMO eat what you want an in moderation, I eat as I was taught and have no issues yet.   

There are all kinds of growth hormones and other chemicals used on foods and none of it a good thing...

[Teresa Smith]

Good tips, buy local or grow your own. I'm just grew a nice garden and have my tomatoes, I have my chickens and even though I do not eat much eggs they are good for baking with. I however, do not trust what anyone is saying. I think these are false flags like we have had everywhere including here. Remember the food safety bill? It was not about food safety and we all know it. Its about controlling our food. Only Monsanto will be allowed to feed us. Monsanto is evil and their seeds cause cancer in lab rats. Plain and simple learn to grow veggies even inside your home. You can have place set up in a garage, basement. You can do it learn and rotate your crops and save your own seeds. Learn to take care of yourself or I believe your government will try to get rid of as many as they can. We are too expensive for the Government to take care of especially when we get older and have to collect social security and medicare. yes, they have a plan for us. It might not be as obvious as a wheel chair off the cliff but I see the handwriting and its in the laws they write for us.
