Jeff Rense's web site has been a strong source of Mad Cow and prion information now
for more than two years. He is an outspoken advocate for health
and safety as well as torchbearer to bring this topic into the
light. Jeff has undertaken considerable research as well as interviewed
many guests during his radio show on the issue. Part of his research
included assembling this extensive list of animal products used
in our every day lives.
Please print off this page as a reference sheet for future use.
If any of these ingredients are subsequently deemed to be hazardous,
it will be an invaluable resource. Regardless, it is interesting
see exactly what we are eating and wearing and how these products
are used.
Jeff writes:
"In light of the potentially catastrophic spread of Mad Cow/nvCJD
prions worldwide (UN WHO statement) throughout the food chain
and environment, and my continuing call for completely new, mandatory
universal medical/dental sterilization protocols - including the
absolute cessation of the reuse of all invasive instruments and
equipment - this incredible list will come as quite a surprise
to many.
"I've broken most of the items down into Medical, Food, and General/Industrial
categories to facilitate a grasp of the enormity of the use of
animal products in our lives and the potential vectors of Mad
Cow/CJD prions. This categorization is not necessarily complete;
there are some consumables which are not listed in FOOD, for example,
but the general point of the list is simple: just because one
doesn't eat meat or dairy, doesn't mean one is necessarily safe
from potential exposure to Mad Cow prions and contaminated/infected
products from cattle.
"With the recent discovery in the UK that tonsils of BSE/TSE infected
individuals contain the Mad Cow/CJD killer prions, one wonders
if other body tissues might be similar repositories. One also
ponders the ongoing and bizarre issue of mass cattle and other
animal mutilations and wonders whether this is some kind of monitoring
process to track the spread of environmental decay and toxicity...and
prion diseases.
"From anti-aging creams to surgical sutures to chocolate milkshakes
and marshmallows...we have injected animal products from cattle,
sheep, and hogs into nearly every corner of our lives. Behold..."
