This case was sent to me by William Wolcott, author of "The Metabolic Typing Diet." Some experts believe that the disease is due to cattle being treated with systemically acting types of organophosphate insecticides, which were designed to penetrate the entire physiological system of the animal, transforming the bloodstream into a toxic medium for these types of infectious agents.

Your best bet to avoid this disease is to consume only "healthy meat." Obtaining healthy meat means avoiding most grain-fed meats. Grain-free meats not only provide a better balance of omega fats, but the animals are healthier, and the risk of acquiring an infection from a healthy animal is very remote.

Many stores will advertise beef as grass-fed, because virtually ALL cattle are grass-fed initially. But what matters is what they are fed in the months prior to their slaughter, not what they are fed initially, and most cattle are fed grains during this time.

The least expensive way to obtain grass-fed beef is by locating a farmer and purchasing the products directly. If you are unable to do this we have grass-fed beef suppliers on our site who can overnight the grain-free beef to you.

There are also other healthy meat options beyond beef. Two of the best meats on the planet--in terms of nutrition value and their incredible taste--are bison and ostrich. Please remember you can now get bison meat and exclusive omega-3-rich ostrich meat in our store. Both of these meats are free-ranged, fed primarily grass/alfalfa diets, and contain no antibiotics or steroids.

Disease runs rampant among commercial livestock, and the use of antibiotics is so widespread among these animals that whether from my site or elsewhere, I urge you to try grass-fed beef and bison and ostrich. Not only do these meats provide a healthy, clean source of protein and minerals, but they are great tasting too.
