The bible says not to seethe a kid in its mothers milk. No poached kid. Seriously, though, it looks as though we may be in the beginning of that which we have waited for these last 150 years.

How odd. I wrote an update about the foot-and-mouth where I implied a sneaky spin in the way the British government has been sending out word about the crisis. They say that the foot and mouth disease is under control and they only report numbers the morning after totals come in, rather than twice a day. When I submitted my reply, I got the "web site not found" message. I hope this gets through. ------------------ Be glad for all God is planning for you.

Destroying and burning all those animals has now created another serious problem in Britain. Unpublished official figures show foot-and-mouth pyres are creating more deadly pollutants than all the country's biggest factories combined. The emissions are of dioxins - carcinogens 1,000 times more deadly than arsenic. But Defence Minister Geoff Hoon says the newspaper reports are "over-dramatic". The Independent on Sunday says the study for the Environment Department estimates that by 5pm on April 6, when 500,000 animals had been destroyed, 63 grammes of dioxins had been emitted. This compares with 88 grammes released from the country's biggest and most hazardous factories in a year. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A foot-and-mouth pyre has been dismantled amid fears that its smoke may be poisoning the atmosphere with cancer-causing chemicals. North Cumbria Health Authority has asked Maff to reconsider burning pyres until the health risks to locals have been confirmed. I also found out why they no longer vaccinate against foot and mouth disease. It would put antibodies in the cow's bodies, and they don't want them there. ------------------ For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth. _________________________ Linda[This message has been edited by Linda Sutton (edited April 22, 2001).]

My brother in law is also concerned about this disease. With all the flooding expected in Manitoba this year, he says it could spread the disease beyond repair. He also said that it is affecting the wild animals as well - deer, etc. My brother-in-law is not an Adventist and was also saying that it probably won't be long before all meat is contaminated and people will begin losing it and killing anything that comes through their yard for food. Scary stuff. ------------------ Sarah Moss *Prayer Changes Things!*

Another reason to quit beef: Last night there was a report on ABC television about the e-coli problem out West and how slow the government in Saskatchewan was to respond to it. The impression this gives is that we can't trust the government when it comes to basics like food and drinking water (eg Walkerton). Now, when it comes to religion... ------------------ Be glad for all God is planning for you. Be patient in trouble, and always be prayerful. Rom. 12:12 NLT

Newsflash: When I went to the CNN site there was a report of a 34-year-old man from Britain who was having preliminary test done. They think he's suffering from foot-and-mouth disease. The last case in a human was found in 1966. If this is true, a mutation in the disease may be taking place. Scientists are already concerned that more sheep and pigs get the disease compaired to the last British outbreak where it happened mostly in cows. ------------------ Be glad for all God is planning for you.

In another thread here on MSDAOL, I read that the madcow disease is mutating to accomodate itself to different hosts. Makes you wonder of all the drugs we have pumped into the meat supply hasn't made the diseases smarter. The antibiotics we have don't work because they have been overused, and appear to have mutated the disease meant to be controlled to the point where each one can accomodate itself to whatever we throw at it. All I need to complete my transition to a vegetarian lifestyle is to get rid of poultry and dairy. Pray I make it before it kills me. ------------------ Examine me, O LORD, and prove me: try my reins and my heart. Ps.26:2

In the chapter on the Impending Conflict, it says: quote: While appearing to the children of men as a great physician who can heal all their maladies, he will bring disease and disaster, until populous cities are reduced to ruin and desolation. Even now he is at work. In accidents and calamities by sea and by land, in great conflagrations, in fierce tornadoes and terrific hail-storms, in tempests, floods, cyclones, tidal waves, and earthquakes, in every place and in a thousand forms, Satan is exercising his power. He sweeps away the ripening harvest, and famine and distress follow. He imparts to the air a deadly taint, and thousands perish by the pestilence. These visitations are to become more and more frequent and disastrous. Destruction will be upon both man and beast. "The earth mourneth and fadeth away," "the haughty people . . . do languish. The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant." [ISA. 24:4, 5.] {GC88 589.3}And then the great deceiver will persuade men that those who serve God are causing these evils....

Gerry, I'll send you some links that should help you give up the dairy and poultry. Giving up the dairy will help with your health tremendously. Solemn words Karen. Amen! Let's finish this quickly. God bless, Wendy

Probable source for the outbreak of foot and mouth diseaseTHE army was last night accused of being the source of the foot and mouth epidemic after it admitted supplying untreated waste food to the pig farm where the disease broke out. In an astonishing development in the search for the epidemic's origin, The Telegraph has learnt that slops - including waste meat imported from countries where the disease is rife - were supplied to the farmers at the centre of the outbreak. The food was taken from the kitchens of Whitburn Training Camp, near Sunderland, and fed to pigs at Bobby and Ronnie Waugh's farm in Heddon-on-the-Wall, Northumberland. . . .Bobby Waugh yesterday said that he last collected a lorryload of wet food slops from Whitburn camp in December. The disease was identified at the farm on February 22, but was thought by Maff vets to have been present among the 600 pigs for several weeks. Mr Waugh, who is licensed by Maff to process waste into swill, added: "I collected waste food from Whitburn around 10 times a year." He claimed that it was processed into swill at a neighbour's farm. . . . The admission that imported Army meat went to the farm at Heddon-on-the-Wall is the first time that a potential path of infection has been identified, although the MoD claimed yesterday that its imported meat came from farms free of the disease. Last month, when Maff said that swill was believed to be the source, it did not disclose the existence of the contract between the Army and the Waugh brothers. Whitburn camp is a rifle range used by the Territoral Army and the cadet force for four months a year. It can spread to humansA FARMWORKER thought to have contracted foot and mouth disease when a bloated animal carcass exploded in his face was given the all-clear yesterday. Paul Stamper, 33, was believed to have been the first human to contract the disease during the current outbreak after swallowing fluid from the infected cow while clearing slaughtered animals on a farm in Wigton, Cumbria, last month. . . .At present there are 13 suspected cases of foot and mouth in humans, eight of which have tested negative. Tests are still being conducted on the remaining five. However, following Mr Stamper's negative test, the Public Health Laboratory Service said that it was "very unlikely" that any of the eight had had foot and mouth at any stage.
