Might give it a go. Pork liver is best for pate but the amount of crap in swine makes me steer clear, although having said that we all might as well make use of the currently available cheap offal in supermarkets at the mo before every animal is mRNA vaccinated. When that happens (if it hasn’t already) I’ll be shooting my own rabbit, pigeons and maybe try to trap a muntjac deer for venison. They’re a nuisance round here, eating everything in sight. Without fencing, a veg garden is doomed to them round this way 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastOneLeftInTheCounty Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 Gene Edited Farm Animals Will Threaten Human, Animal and Environmental Safety THIRD WORLD NETWORK BIOSAFETY INFORMATION SERVICE Dear Friends and Colleagues Gene Edited Farm Animals Will Threaten Human, Animal and Environmental Safety Many genetically engineered farm animals are currently in development, funded by private companies or governments and enabled by new gene editing technologies such as CRISPR. Examples include super-muscly cows and pigs, hornless cattle, chickens and pigs made to resist certain diseases, cows with human genes, and other genetic experiments. A new report, compiling evidence from peer-reviewed scientific studies, reveals that the use of gene editing in farm animals poses risks to human health, the environment and animal welfare. The key findings are as follows: (1) Studies show that, far from being “precise,” gene editing can cause genetic errors; (2) Common gene editing traits, such as hornless cows, will perpetuate poor animal management, such as the cramped and filthy conditions common in Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs); (3) Genetic engineering of animals often involves cloning, which leads to birth defects, spontaneous abortions and early postnatal death; (4) Unexpected effects include the production of abnormal proteins in gene-edited animals which could create new food allergies; (5) Although still at the hypothetical stage, gene drive systems could drive a specific trait through a herd or population of farm animals and could accidentally spread to the natural population, potentially affecting biodiversity and even an entire ecosystem; (6) Feeding the nearly 10 billion animals raised annually in U.S. factory farms requires a staggering amount of land, genetically engineered seed and toxic pesticides, fertilizer, fuel and water. Livestock farming contributes 16.5% to global greenhouse gas emissions. Routine use of antibiotics in animal agriculture contributes to the rise of antibiotic resistance, a pressing public health problem. The report recommends that rather than creating genetically engineered animals to fit into factory farming systems, it is critical to develop sustainable and ecological animal agriculture systems that support animal welfare, preservation and restoration of biodiversity and public health. Small and mid-scale, high welfare, diversified, ecologically regenerative and organic livestock production systems avoid many public health, animal welfare and environmental problems inherent in industrial animal agriculture. In addition, they have been shown to generate important ecological benefits, including carbon sequestration, soil fertility, water savings and reduced dependence on pesticides and fossil fuels. Furthermore, the report recommends that all genetic engineering techniques should fall within the scope of government regulatory oversight of genetic engineering, including gene editing, using the Precautionary Principle to protect human health and the environment. Products of all genetic engineering should be traceable and clearly labeled as GMOs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LastOneLeftInTheCounty Posted March 8 Author Share Posted March 8 Rules to create gene-edited farm animals must put welfare first - review By Pallab Ghosh Science correspondent Regulations to allow the production of gene-edited farm animals must put welfare first, according to an independent review. The technology allows scientists to alter DNA so as to introduce specific traits, such as resistance to disease.

LastOneLeftInTheCounty Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 25 Cancer Stem Cell Killing Foods Smarter Than Chemo & Radiation POSTED ON MARCH 8, 2023DIET By Sayer Ji An important scientific review identifies 25 of the top foods and herbs which kill the cancer stem cells at the root cause of cancer malignancy. There are thousands of natural compoundsthat have been studied with demonstrable anti-cancer activity (check out over 600 on our cancer research database), but only a small subset of these have been proven to target and kill the cancer stem cells which lie at the root of cancer malignancy. Turmeric, for instance, we have featured a number of times for this “smart kill” property of targeting just the heart of cancerous tumors. More recently, ginger has been found in pre-clinical research to contain a compound up to 10,000 times more effective than the chemotherapy drug Taxol at killing breast cancer stem cells. Even common food like blueberry have special cancer killing properties, as discussed in a previous article: Research: Radiotherapy Causes Cancer, Blueberry Kills It. A powerful study published in the journal Anticancer Research titled, “Natural Products That Target Cancer Stem Cells,” has made our job much easier of identifying this special category of cancer killers by reviewing the extant literature on the topic and listing the top 25 substances in this category. They are listed here below, along with some of their commonly recognizable dietary sources: Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) – Green Tea 6-Gingerol – Ginger β-Carotene – Carrot, Leafy Greens Baicalein – Chinese Skullcap Curcumin – Turmeric Cyclopamine – Corn Lilly [we do not suggest consuming this plant; this simply illustrates natural components exist that kill cancer stem cells] Delphinidin – Blueberry, raspberrry Flavonoids (Genistein) – Soy, red clover, coffee Gossypol – Cottonseed [we do not suggest consuming this plant; this simply illustrates natural components exist that kill cancer stem cells] Guggulsterone – Commiphora (myrrh tree) Isothiocyanates – Cruciferous vegetables Linalool – Mint Lycopene – Grapefruit, tomato Parthenolide – Feverfew Perylill alcohol – Mint, cherry, lavender Piperine – Black pepper Platycodon saponin – Platycodon grandiflorum Psoralidin – Psoralea corylilyfolia Quercetin – Capers, onion Resveratrol – Grapes, plums, berries Salinomycin – Streptomyces albus Silibinin – Milk Thistle Ursolic acid – Thyme, basil, oregano Vitamin D3 – Fish, egg yolk, beef, cod liver oil Withaferin A – Withania somnifera (ashwaganda) Why are these substances so important? The primary reason why conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy have failed to produce any significant improvements in cancer survival rates is because cancer stem cells are resistant to these interventions. In fact, chemotherapy and especially radiation are both capable of increasing the number and virulence of these cells in a tumor, while at the same time having the well known side effect of further damaging the patient’s immune system. While the cancer industry is still very much resistant to incorporating the implications of these findings into their standard of care (which is highly unethical), there are an increasing number of health practitioners that will not turn their back on the truth and are very much interested in alternative ways to prevent and treat cancer using food and/or plant-based approaches. The new study addresses the relevance of cancer stem cells as follows: “The cancer stem cell model suggests that tumor initiation is governed by a small subset of distinct cells with stem-like character termed cancer stem cells (CSCs). CSCs possess properties of self-renewal and intrinsic survival mechanisms that contribute to resistance of tumors to most chemotherapeutic drugs. The failure to eradicate CSCs during the course of therapy is postulated to be the driving force for tumor recurrence and metastasis. Recent studies have focused on understanding the unique phenotypic properties of CSCs from various tumor types, as well as the signaling pathways that underlie self-renewal and drug resistance.” At present, the cancer industry has failed to produce a single drug that targets the cancer stem cell population of cells within a tumor, as confirmed by the study: “If indeed the CSC response is a vital criterion for cancer treatment evaluation, there are still no drugs in clinical use that specifically target CSCs.” The ability to selectively target cancer cells, and cancer stem cells in particular, while leaving intact the non-tumor cells in tissue is extremely important. We have created a section on our database that indexes research on these substances and now includes sixty seven of them here. We are also building a section that collates research cancer stem cells, a topic will no doubt become a central part of the future of cancer treatment, assuming the priority is to actually alleviate suffering and not just make money off of patients.

DaleP Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Some of you will probably roll your eyes and say "What took you so long?" but I have just discovered millet! I thought it is something people in Africa ate but I was wrong... it is eaten all over the world You can make energy balls with it, porridge and it will be a replacement for cous cous!! I've just made a first batch of plain porridge, just water, milk, butter and sugar. You can buy it in a health food store or source it online.... my organic bag came from Infinity foods and produced in Ukraine. It has a delightful pale yellow colour...just like the Ukraine flag. The only thing is, unlike rolled oats, you have to wash it like 6-8 times, soak it for 10 mins and it cooks in 15 mins. Not as quick as oats porridge. It swells so much so you don't need a lot. I think it's an alkaline food too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same with me, although all the bad reactions I had with feta and some soft cheeses like Boursin is because they’re from the supermarket. I bet if you went to Greece and had some villagers homemade stuff you’d be semi ok. The only supermarket cheese I can stomach is some hard mature cheddars and Parmesan.

I’ve started eating porridge everyday now, and find pre soaking with yoghurt overnight a good option, it’s basically a probiotic breakfast your preparing for yourself the night before. I also add a bit of kefir too, to boost the benificial bacteria. Don’t need much heat in the morning either, just a gentle warming, don’t want to kill off all the good stuff that’s been developing overnight in the fridge! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
