trust flu vaccine? we need humane organic farming

19.6.17: tv.pol/healthcare/industrial farming
/Rob Wallace`african swine fever:
6.19: summary:
trust flu vaccine? we need humane organic farming:
. part of the reason for encouraging flu vaccine
is that globalized factory farming
is increasing the rate of flu virus evolution;
but flu vaccine is often not protective;
what we really need is to discontinue
globalized factory farming of animals
by mandating humane organic farming.
. I summarize the work of
biology Ph.D. Rob Wallace
and others concerned with the way
factory farming promotes disease.

immune response to mammalian meat and milk #cancer

2.1: 3.1: web.health/cancer/immune response to mammalian meat and milk:
. eaters of mammalian meat seem more prone to cancer [pnas 2014]
than eaters of other types of animal protein;
a sugar called Neu5Gc, is found in most mammals
but not in humans; and,
humans often have high levels of Neu5Gc-specific antibodies
(perhaps developing inflammation when they eat it)
[Nat Biotechnol. 2010];
scientists wondered if humans are troubled by
eating a foreign sugar such as Neu5Gc
so they engineered mice to not make that sugar
in order to have them better model human reactions;
and, when the new mice were then fed the Neu5Gc,
they were more prone to spontaneous cancers. [ucsd.edu]

whey for egg and spirulina limits

11.14: health/protein/whey for egg and spirulina limits:
[re:
. should you use whey? well, I'm using whey myself,
and I still highly recommend the lef.org product;
but I'm trying cheaper stuff at the moment;
it makes no claims about not being denatured .
. I'm trying to heal my thyroid,
and that means less legume protein
that might cause leaky gut;
so my legume is low-protein peas,
thus I need plenty of cheap animal protein now .
. if I ate less whey, I would eat more eggs,
but that's a lot of fat considering the dioxins .
]
. I said egg was my only alternative to whey,
but I'm also getting as much protein as
I had thought possible from spirulina
-- I thought the limiting factor is
its large quantity of vit A;
but there is some disagreement with
what I read on my spirulina package .

whey to go -- ups and downs with cancer

1.27: whey to go -- ups and downs with cancer

. Health Canada usually agrees with usa`fda decisions;
but they disagreed about rBGH (recombinant bovine GH);
monsanto tried to encourage some agreement
by offering them funds to do their own additional research;
but they were so sure this was money-driven mad science
that they considered the offer a mere bribe .
. the director of monsanto reminds us that
biotech is only as good as its regulation;
which reminded me that when money talks,
it's because sex drive and population explosion
-- not monsanto, usa, or the fda --
is the real bully .

news updates about genetic modifications: gm watch

. whey protein isolate is touted as having anti-cancer potential;
but does that opinion still hold true
as the nature of milk is changed by unregulated science?
. when the cow hormone rBGH was increasing milk production
it also resulted in more IGF-1 in milk
that was said to be promoting the growth of
some cancers {prostate, breast, colon};
I wondered if, even after processing,
that could still be an issue for whey .

. whey contains igf-1 that increases igf-1 in the bloodstream;
[however, both sides of the whey debate
are saying that igf-1 from human and cow are identical
and some say that whey increases blood levels of igf-1
simply because whey is increasing the hgh (human growth hormone)
that igf-1 comes from in human blood .]

. HGH (human growth hormone) has a very short life;
most of it is used for producing IGF-1
(Insulin-like Growth Factor 1,
formerly known as Somatomedin-C)
which has an easily measurable lifetime .
. over-dosage of igf-1 is what turns careless hgh use
into the monster of insulin resistance:
this is due to high igf-1 having
the same effect as high insulin .

. one study found that in some groups
the use of low-fat milk could reduce the risk of colon cancer:
"(
A high ratio of IGF-I to IGF-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3)
has been linked to an increased risk of colorectal cancer.
Intake of dairy food (especially low-fat milk)
was positively and moderately associated with
plasma levels of IGF-I, IGFBP-3, and IGF-I/IGFBP-3
[increasing igf-1 more than igfbp-3;
however, ]
among individuals with a high IGF-I /IGFBP-3 ratio,
intake of low-fat milk was associated with
lower risk of colorectal cancer .
) .


IGF-1 is like insulin: vital but dose is everything:
"(
Lifestyle factors that increase IGF-1 [and hgh]:
low-fat, low-sugar diets;
brief, intense exercise
(not aerobic exercise lasting over one hour);
not eating carbohydrates within 4 hours of bedtime.

Foods and supplements that increase IGF-1 [and hgh]:
whey protein;
dairy products (this may be from the whey)
creatine (5 grams per day);
use of arginine or ornithine at bedtime without competing amino's .

. substances to avoid while raising hgh with amino supp's:
alcohol;
Anti-cholinergic medicines (antihistamines)
--(Claritin, Clarinex and Allegra
probably do not affect natural HGH release) .
)

. lef.org has more suggestions for increasing hgh (and igf-1):
"(
. Losing abdominal fat;
avoiding high-glycemic loads
. Optimizing sleep habits
. Exercise training above the lactate threshold
appears to amplify the pulsatile release of endogenous GH at rest,
increasing total secretion for at least 24 hours.
. CDP-choline, arginine, ornithine, glycine, glutamine, niacin (vitamin B3)
can help support endogenous GH secretion,
assist muscle growth and recovery from exercise, and promote healthy sleep.
)
notes:

. nausea can be an indication of
an excessive level of HGH release? [1.29:
the subsequent excess of igf-1 causes insulin resistance
which then allows blood sugar to get too high .]

. hgh over-use can cause the liver to
over-produce glucose;
or, hgh-induced insulin resistance
is leaving no market for the
liver's normal amount of glucose production;
in any case, metformin can be of some help
by reducing the liver's output .

. underactive t4->t3 conversion
(a virtual form of hypothyroidism)
can be a sign of low hgh;
conversely, some uses of hgh have produced
hypothyroidism [from excessive igf-1?]

1.29: soy lecithin is routinely mixed with whey

. since soy lecithin is routinely added to whey,
and soy is a high-fat plant that accumulates dioxin,
I was concerned that dioxins could be a greater cancer risk
than any igf-1 dosage anomalies from whey itself .

. among soy bean meal samples reported,
the highest level of dioxin contamination was
14.68 ppt[parts per trillion] of 2,3,7,8-TCDD,
and had a total toxic equivalency factor (Teq) of 21.75 ppt.

Dioxins, PCBs (picograms) in fatty foods:
Eggs (2) 13
Milk (1 cup) 11
Vegetable oil (1 Tbs.) 1
-- this could be the worst-case scenereo;
nevertheless, the point is that aside from processing diff's,
the main route of dioxin concentration
starts with any biological process -- animal or plant --
that is accumulating lipids in the presence of dioxins .

. fatty substances are routinely added to animal feed
in order to reduce dust or increase pourability .
. these can easily be a source of dioxins in eggs .
[1.30: similar additives for fertilizers and pesticides
could be adding dioxins to soy beans .]

whey selection

11.12: web.aq.cook/iherb.com/lef`whey ok? yes:

The whey protein isolate is made using a process known as
Cross Flow Microfiltration,
which produces an isolate that is 87% protein,
99% of it in the bioavailable undenatured from,
and retains all important subfractions in their natural ratios.
This protein contains low amounts of sodium, and added BioFerrin
which is a 95% pure bioactive form of lactoferrin.
The Enhanced Life Extension Protein has up to 300% more lactoferrin
than other whey protein supplements on the market.

With the array of more recent processing techniques used to make WPI's
- or pull out various subfractions - such as Cross Flow Micro filtration (CFM¨)
CFM¨ is a trade mark process of Glanbia Nutritionals,
a large dairy company out of Ireland with offices in the US.
ultra filtration (UF), micro filtration (MF), reverse osmosis (RO),
dynamic membrane filtration (DMF), ion exchange chromatography, (IEC),
electro-ultrafiltration (EU), radial flow chromatography (RFC)
and nano filtration (NF),
manufacturers can now make some very high grade and unique whey proteins.
Perhaps the most familiar micro filtered isolate to readers, would be CFM¨*.
Although the term "cross flow micro filtered" is something of a generic term
for several similar ways of processing whey,
The CFM¨ processing method uses a low temperature micro filtration techniques
that allows for the production of very high protein contents (>90%),
the retention of important subfractions, extremely low fat and lactose contents,
with virtually no undenatured proteins.
CFM¨ is a natural non-chemical process which employs high tech ceramic filters,
unlike ion exchange,
which involves the use of chemical regents
such as hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide.
