Hi tech / low cost lab test for bacteria in raw milk

[Guest guest]

The news article at the end of my comment will be of interest to

some, so bear with me. Very shortly, the cost of doing a test of

every batch will be so low that it will undo the scare-tactic used by

the Dairy cartel for restraining the trade in raw milk.

________________

Back in the spring of 2000, I was alarmed to read in our local blat

that Burnaby BC was about to be sprayed with a so-called 'pesticide'

brand-named Foray 48B. Supposedly, this " pesticide " contained live

bacteria, Btk = bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki, which would find its

way into the guts of little gypsy moth caterpillars and kill them.

I was one of the Appellants who went through a formal government

process to oppose the spraying. What a farce that was ! At the time,

I complained the plan to douse a few square miles of airshed over an

urban population, with live bacteria emulsified in a mist so fine it

was breathable, was dangerous, to say the least. The more I found out

about Btk, the more alarmed I got. Particularly, that it's so similar

to anthrax, that some scientists believe Btk is anthrax at another

stage of development.

I hazarded the idea that the use of little " crop duster planes " which

were to dump the filth over two of the most intensively-used traffic

arteries in the Lower Mainland, was a cover-story for war games. Of

course the newspapers mocked me as " conspiracy theorist " . But they

didn't call and apologize the day after September 11 2001, when all

of a sudden the FBI was taking great interest in certain swarthy-

complected individuals who had been practicing on crop duster planes

down in Florida.

Last year, Response Biomedical Corporation of Burnaby BC announced

that it had perfected its RAMP device for detecting Biological

Warfare agents in the field, in real time. And that it had started

selling them to the UN and armies around the world. When one couples

the fact that the University of British Columbia contracts-out its

research to private corps. and the fact that UBC is one of the world

leaders in DNA analysis, it doesn't take a degree in criminology to

connect the dots. British Columbians were unwitting labrats.

The " gypsy moth aerial circus " is a piece of dis-information to

camoflage biological weapons research. See the book " Clouds of

Secrecy " by Leonard Cole, and " Biohazard " by Ken Alibek, which report

Bt being used as a war game " simulant " for the last 40 years.

A telling anecdote occured in 2000 to a lady who'd been pregnant

while the spraying was going on over Burnaby. When her baby was

delivered at the Burnaby General Hospital the OR staff whisked the

placenta away 'for testing' with the remark " it was glowing " .

Probably what happened was that the fluorescent dye put in the spray

to track it from satellite had accumulated so it was visible to the

naked eye. No worries ; the baby and mom are fine now.

Even if - in the light of all the propaganda justifying the invasion

of Iraq - some will say such research was in the greater public

interest, it was categorically illegal to conduct it upon civilian

populations without our consent.

Without going into the whole corrupt rigamarole the BC government

foisted on us, suffice to say that the 'gypsy moth aerial spray "

story is a hoax. It has absolutely nothing to do with " gypsy moths "

or " apple blossom moths " , or whatever nonsense the bioweaponeers fold-

in when they want to dump it on your neighbourhood. Btk disrupts the

ecology for years afterwards. It's been proven to increase the rate

of spontaneous abortion. We believe that the spraying is directly

related to the upsurge in meningitis, clostridium dificile, and

necrotizing fasciitis, among others. We beleive that the only

logical explanation why Public Health officials refuse to acknowledge

the harms of Btk is because they are bought off or intimidated. When

the lapdog media tell folks " don't worry, about what those wide-eyed

hippy-dippy eco-freaks say. " don't buy it. Get the facts = think for

yourself.

DNA test can diagnose diseases in 30 miinutes

MEDICINE Trials of the protable mini-lab will begin in British

hospitals

BY ROGER HIGHFIELD

LONDON - The first DNA-based test that can diagnose a range of

diseases within 30 minutes is to go on trial in British hospitals.

The test could change the face of general practice and veterinary

medicine. Rapid diagnosis could help GPs to prescribe antibiotics

only when necessary by reading

if a sore throat is caused by a virus or bacterium and cut the

inappropriate use of antibiotics, which drives the rise of superbugs.

The DNA test can quickly pin down the cause of food poisoning, help

farmers detect foot and mouth, and show if a woman is a carrier of

the bacterium that causes chlamydia, a " silent disease " that can

cause fertility problems.

The portable mini-lab is a spin-off from biological warfare research

and works by hunting for the DNA of target organisms, said D.

Squirrell, one of the developers at Defence Science and Technology

Laboratory.

The team bases the test on the PCR (polymerase chain reaction)

process, which amplifies DNA, a method that won Dr Kary Mullins the

Nobel prize.Mullins told a conference in Bournemouth Tuesday that

tests based on the method had huge potential because " you need to

know what a disease is before you can do anything about it. "

The tests will offer GPs and vets much faster results than currently

possible and they could eventually cost less than $23 Cdn each.

The team plans to provide two rapid, automated PCR machines for

various uses. The first trials, at hospitals in Portsmouth and

Liverpool, will be in using urine samples to diagnose infections,

notably chlamydia, within 40 minutes.

At present chlamydia testing requires samples to be sent away for

analysis and it can take up to two weeks to get the results back.

Trials of the " while you wait " test, backed by the Department of

Health, will be used in genito-urinary clinics by the end of the

year.

There will also be quick-testing at GP surgeries and clinics to give

correct and effective prescription of medicines.

The test will be used to detect modifications in food and spot

contamination by organisms such as salmonella, listeria and E. coli.

There will also be in-the-field testing for animal diseases,

including foot-and-mouth or tuberculosis in cattle within 30

minutes, rather than having to send samples to a lab.
