On Feb. 9 of this year, Katie Couric of CBS investigated the overuse of antibiotics in livestock and some of the ramifications. In the investigation, a University of Iowa study was featured that found a brand new strain of MRSA (Methacillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus). The hog study found MRSA in 70% of the animals and 64% of the workers. Several farms in Iowa and Western Illinois were studied. All of the farms with MRSA were factory farms and all used antibiotics routinely. On antibiotic free farms that were not factory farms, no MRSA was found.

Most of us don’t think much about MRSA, and when we do we think of hospital related infections and perhaps the occasional case of an athletic locker room case of transmission, but beware. Our government is once again involved in covering up the enormity of a problem it should have controlled with more careful inspections decades ago. Drug resistant infections killed over 70,000 Americans last year. That’s more deaths than from AIDS, and we can characterize this as an “emerging health crisis” like CBS did or call it what it is, which is an epidemic.

I have advised buying meat and poultry from smaller organically oriented farms for decades for these very reasons. Unfortunately, antibiotic resistant strains like MRSA can spread in many ways. It’s a matter of time before it’s in the food chain (if it isn’t already), and it can even be in the water runoff from a farm, and/or in the air. Things can happen very quickly with these deadly antibiotic resistant bacterial strains, which is why this factory farming practice and flagrant use of antibiotics has to be stopped.

Unfortunately, as long as the Pharmaceutical Industrial Complex is making a fortune providing these antibiotics, the government agencies that they tend to control will not be responsive to the public’s needs. It is unfortunate that the government agencies that were put in place to protect us have been manipulated by the very businesses that they were to supposed to protect us against, but that’s politics for you. You can begin to change this with your vote and your pocket book at the super market.

We can’t have it both ways… safe food and cheap food. I’ll vote for safe, and I hope you resolve to do the same for the sake of our children and grandchildren.

Our then two and a half year old daughter had suffered with loose bowels and stomach cramping since infancy. She was also a much smaller child that her older sister being only 25% of average in height and weight. When she was six months old she needed an aminophylline inhaler for bronchiolitis. She had four ear infections before she was a year old despite being breast fed, no daycare and no smokers in the house.

Then after her first birthday we added dairy to her diet and she got markedly worse with mucousy stools and then even vomiting. I questioned her pediatrician about milk allergies and he said it was possible especially considering her history of ear infections! She finally improved on a strict elimination diet excluding all forms of dairy, soy and peanuts.

After a year of near normalcy her GL problems recurred and now she had eczema. We took her to an allergist who performed a skin-prick food allergy test with only a positive result for peanut. He then admonished us to allow Carlin to have dairy so as not to deprive her, of calcium. However, by now Carlin’s health had deteriorated to the point of waking in the night crying from gas pains and belching sulfur-smelling fumes. She was so uncomfortable she could not fall asleep unless she was upright, so we took turns sleeping in the recliner with her.

We were desperate, then I saw Dr. Beaulieu’s ad for NAET and elimination of childhood allergies permanently. Muscle testing and acupressure to resolve her misery seemed to good to be true, but I knew there could be no placebo effect in a toddler so we pursued treatment. The testing confirmed some things I suspected, like eggs, that conventional testing did not identify. The positive result for calcium made sense given that even her rice milk was calcium fortified.

She was first treated for egg mix and in 24 hours she had a completely normal BM for the first time in her life, and she slept well without any gas or pain. The next week she was treated for calcium mix and her eczema resolved! She did have a crying jag for a couple of hours after the B-vitamin treatment and a head-to-toe rash the day after the vitamin C treatment- further evidence it seemed that the treatments were working.

Two months after starting NAET Carlin was thrilled to be able to eat cheese and ice cream, literally jumping up and down in the kitchen saying, “I can have dairy!”

Perhaps most amazing was her check up that summer. Two months after starting NAET her height was in the 75th percentile and her weight was 50th. It was obvious that her little body was finally able to utilize the nutrients from her food. We are very grateful to to Dr. David, Sandy and the whole staff for their part in returning Carlin to good health, and to Dr. Devi Nambrudipad for developing NAET We don’t like to imagine what Carlin’s life would be like without it!

Sincerely,

Michelle Chappell, D.V.M.
