I did not see that TV show; but I wish tapeworms were

all that you were risking. There are quite a number

of different parasites which you are risking by eating

raw pork. And it's true that some parasitse have an

affinity for brain tissue; I type up medical reports

for a living, and have run across this problem from

time to time. There is also trichinosis.

If you eat beef, you do risk tapeworms. I don't know

if they stay strictly in the intestines or not.

I'd be interested in reading more about a raw foods

diet, but I suspect that we moderns may be better off

cooking most of our meat.

why do you suspect this?

Correct me but in Biblical times & even much later

pigs were not penned & fed but left to forage. A pig

did eat anything including any corpse (animal or

human) it came across.

Those of us who do the Reams testing are taught

to recommend the clean meats and not the unclean

meats, like Erma mentions.

Raw Pork

I can't remember where I read this but pork has parasites that NO amount of

heat can destroy. Also, if you go back to God's food laws, it tells you

not to eat pork. A pig will eat anything and you are what you eat. Like

catfish are bottom feeders. You eat catfish, you eat the trash on the

bottom of the water.

Because it substantially lowers the risk of

contracting parasites, especially WRT eating pork.

And I say that as a person who does like the taste of

raw meat.

I read, in the Eadeses' latest _Protein Power_ book,

that having parasites did rid the body of excess iron

stores, but frankly I don't like the idea of harboring

parasites. And while there are many remedies out

there for getting rid of intestinal parasites, I don't

know if there is any easy way to get rid of the kind

of parasites which form cysts in the brain.

Doesn't cooking your meat kill the parasites it

contains? Whether adult, egg, or larval form? At

least that's what I recall having read and been told

over the years.

I know there are things you can take, once you have

contracted parasites, in both allopathic medicine and

holistic medicine... but everything I have read or

been told over the years points to the fact that

sufficient heat will kill parasites.

If you have some evidence that this is *not* the case,

then I would be interested to hear about it. Perhaps

this is another one of those things which " we all know

to be true " but which isn't.

There are pros and cons to eating raw meat vs. cooked meat. Raw meat can and

does contain parasites, but also is loaded with valuable enzymes and

nutrients. Cooking the meat does kill the parasites, but sometimes it's at

too high a heat--and in the cooking many of the valuable nutrients are lost,

and the body has to work harder to break down the proteins.

Presumably, if the person is eating and assimilating enough nutrients, it

will be more difficult for parasites to live in the body. This is not true

for everyone, of course; each person is unique. (My personal preference is

to eat my beef and lamb very rare; I don't eat pig at all.) It may be that

after one gets rid of the worms and strengthens the system, they can

introduce rare/raw meat back into their diet.

I eat beef very rare, sometimes raw. I sometimes eat

chicken and turkey rare or raw. As a kid, I sometimes

ate bits of raw bacon (presumably smoked). I don't

usually get hold of lamb. I eat sushi and sashimi in

Japanese restaurants, but at home I cook my fish well.

But nowadays I would *never* presume to eat

undercooked pork, even though I have heard that the

farmers who raise hogs give them antiparasitic

medication.

I tend to have irritable bowel symptoms with large

amounts of beef, unless I take fish oil capsules on a

regular basis--and sometimes even then.

Something everyone is overlooking...

In a healthy body, that is one of the primary functions of the hydrochloric

acid secreted by our digestive system - to digest meats, AND KILL

PATHOGENS/PARASITES.

If your digestive system is compromised, and is not secreting a proper

amount of hydrochloric acid, then parasites will 'survive' their stay in the

stomach and be free to 'do their thing'...

Of course, I wholeheartedly agree with the concept of limiting your raw meat

choices (I have yet to embark on this adventure) to only the 'clean' meats.

The worm is tricinosis [sp]. Good post, Erma. I believe we shouldn't eat

pork, either; same class as buzzards, made to clean carrion from the earth.

You should see 'em eat maggots. Only recently have we also learned that it

is so acid, takes the body days to get over it. Obie.
