Eating Raw and Safety from Bacteria
- Malaena Medford
Those of us adapted to raw meat have this thing called an immune system. By exposing ourselves to germs deemed as dangerous pathogens, we become immune to them. The immune system also fights parasites, but there is a history of parasite symbiotic partnership in animals that we scientists are just beginning to understand, but it's there and parasitic infestation isn't necessarily a death sentence, nor is it incurable through natural means.
Through zoopharmacognosy, animals have figured out and teach their offspring the ways of medicinal use of their environment. Parrots eating clay to neutralize toxins in the seeds they eat; apes teaching their young which part of the plant is a medicine and even patting the hand away in an obvious "not that one" communication; and even wolves showing their young how to cure a problem with local botanicals.
The United States is not the rest of the world. It's the country of hypochondria and germophobia because of the market of pharmaceuticals and the fear of germs which was spread around and caused the spread of illness due to avoidance of microbiota.
Japan, France, Belgium--to name a few, have raw meat foods all the time and have no problem. In fact, they practice pharmacognosy.
Lesson in botanical medicine: wasabi is an anti-parasitic and antimicrobial; ginger and turmeric are, too, as well as being cancer preventatives; rosemary deactivates carcinogens in certain foods and is protective of cellular structure while destroying cancerous cells; garlic has the same anti-parasite and anti-microbial properties; etc, etc. Humans have been medicating themselves against parasites for eons with food items.
When exposed to environmental pathogens, one becomes immune to others they've never even been exposed to. So what does that mean? Eat dirt. That's not even a joke. Dirt contains thousands, even millions of microbiota which allows for a healthy gut flora and immunity to supposedly deadly pathogens.
Raw meat, further, is easier on the digestive system for a lot of people such as myself. I hardly cook my meat at all. I've also been through multiple outbreaks of e. coli, salmonella, and four I can't remember the names of because I was younger, and I was the only one who was unaffected, and the only one who was a dumb kid who ate bugs and didn't listen to the warnings about raw meat. My aunt was also unaffected because she lived in a filthy environment and it built up her immune system.
If you want to improve odds and avoid possible negative reactions, start with eating dirt or wallowing in mud, or use vinegar if you can to destroy the microbes. If you get sick, keep hydrated and just wait it out while keeping the emergency room in mind if you have any horrible reactions such as extreme cramping, which can be a life-threatening reaction. Your body needs to adapt to it, but conventional practice will completely destroy your gut microbiota with antibiotics and your immune system will weaken. If you make that choice, it's yours to make. I'm not your mommy. I'm a scientific major with a 4.0 and background in immunological, nutritional, and botanical sciences. I'm just someone who informs.

And as it turns out, most of the food poisoning and things are self-reported but were not affirmed by medical tests. Plants, not meat, are responsible for more cases of food poisoning. One thing is, plants contain bacteria inside them, so washing them doesn't do anything. They are living organisms just like animals and have a microbiota. The negative reaction is the fault of the antibiotics mashed into everything including soaps to armpit deodorant. You are more likely to get sick from plants than you are from meat, as well, because vegetables contain natural toxicants and poisons to keep animals from eating them, and they must be prepared correctly to make them safe for humans because we are a carnivorous species by physiology, not herbivores with specialized anatomy meant for plant digestion.

Okay, a little clarification: People get sick from pathogens, parasites, and other nasties because of a compromised immune system, which can be seen in this post when someone drank cholera and did not get sick because he was healthy:
http://foodmed.net/2017/10/23/kendrick-inuit-nosebleeds-heart-disease/
[This leads us to the concept of necessary and/or sufficient. By this I mean a factor may be necessary for a disease to develop. Yet that factor cannot cause the disease alone. Koch demonstrated this by drinking water full of the cholera bacillus. He did not get cholera because he was otherwise fit and healthy. He stated that a healthy person could fight off cholera but if you were unhealthy it could kill you.]
~No singular cause of anything. This shows that there is no such thing as 100%, and never will be. People who got sick from "pathogens" are already unhealthy.
Now, what is the reason people are susceptible to these? Well, we can see an interesting trend. People who are obsessively dependent on soaps and other hygiene items get sick more often. Their immune system is compromised because of their obsessive-compulsive cleaning behavior prompted by today's societal standards which defy the natural order of things entirely.
Japanese have fewer problems and the incidences are so rare that they make the news. This means it does NOT happen a lot. If it made the news, it was worth reporting. They eat raw meat all the time without problems. In fact, most of the reports were on foreigners getting food poisoning! So it's the people from overly-clean areas, not the food, which is at fault, but they didn't know any better because of the systems in place today.
Animals also eat raw meat all the time. I have never, not once, in my life, seen a wolf whip out a dang frying pan to make the meat it just killed with its bare teeth safe to eat (or they eat it alive, because yeah...nature). It doesn't harm them. It does harm domesticated, kibble-poisoned pets. Why? Grain causes autoimmune dysfunction through lectin response and other additives act as false hormones or antimicrobials and the food is sterilized. They are being bubbled-boy'ed to death and then pathogens are blamed when it's this bathing and germ-free existence that's the reason. It is the fault of the societal belief that raw meat is dangerous when far more food poisoning incidences happen with raw plant products, not the opposite.
Modulation of immune function by dietary lectins in rheumatoid arthritis.
~Lectins are majorly found in grains and legumes and egg whites as a hazardous set of proteins that cause an immune response leading our bodies to attack itself. Cooking destroys egg white lectins, while seeds have to be rigorously processed with soaking, sprouting, stone-grinding, then highly fermented into a sourdough in a traditional method to make them remotely safe for consumption. These are a starvation food, not a staple. Those who made it a staple got diseased, like Egyptians and Western societies who rely on grains and were noted by Weston Price as being riddled with degenerative diseases.
And this is cute but a tad incomplete, but very accurate and is eye-opening. Raw milk. Perfectly safe, and has antimicrobial activities to boost the immune systems of the wee little animals that breastfeed:

~You know how kids eat dirt? Yeah, that's an evolutionary adaptation that all animals, including humans, naturally do, and that society deemed as "inappropriate" and brings to a halt. By exposing ourselves to pathogens and other such things by consuming dirt and working with the environment, our gut becomes a powerhouse of beneficial microbial colonies and people who practice "filthiness" are often the ones who never get sick while the super-clean people drop like flies when someone sneezes.

I have been through multiple pathogenic exposures and was one of the only ones who didn't get sick. The others were equally as "filthy", working in our gardens and handling farm animals without sterile equipment. My aunt is the crazy cat lady and never gets sick and looks so young for her age. Carnivore or even Primal would probably make that even better.

~SQUEE! SCIENCE! I love it when antimicrobial naturopathic substances are finally proven in tests, when our ancestors already knew what these substances did because they used these as medicine! We've been dumbed down so much by modern pharmaceuticals that something that was common knowledge, like making an antibiotic with moldy bread, was lost until some random scientist left his samples out to mold. The Egyptians gave a thorough record of the medicinal uses of things like honey and mold and it was basically a pamphlet instruction for everyone. They did not make money off pharmaceuticals, so they didn't hide it from the public. (Their diseases were due to their vegetarian, grain-based, beer-riddled diet.)

~Tuburculosis. Ancient peoples used garlic against it, and it took science this long to figure it out because those same people were burned or drowned by the old churches as devil worshipers for using plants in a way that was strange to the people who murdered them.
There are other things like bubonic and such that respond to this and as a medicine, garlic was used during the bad seasons. Unfortunately, the resources I had were ripped down by allopathic systems which are trying very hard to stamp out "alternative medicine" as a valid practice (it was here first, dangit), and the links to the original study-filled info are no longer functional. I didn't know this was a trend or I'd have saved all the info in PDF format, but alas, it's too late and I am still searching the library at Purdue University for the sciences because at the least, those still exist. Thus is the downfall of the Internet. If you don't print a hard copy or save a PDF of information, it can become unobtainable at the drop of a hat.
Here are a couple of them which used to have the valuable information until the massive pharma corporate infestation stepped in and shut the good resources down:

And conventional antibiotics? They have their place, they really do, but they are not the epicenter and should be a last resort due to the negative effects.
Antimicrobial activity and immunological side effects of different antibiotics.
http://europepmc.org/abstract/med/8157137
[Such effects may be clinically relevant especially when an impairment of immunological functions is seen. ... Preliminary findings show that a correlation exists between the effect of antibiotics on the immune response, especially the humoral response, and the appearance of resistance in bacteria to these antibiotics.]
~Correlation does not equal causation, but the evidence is so strong that there is now a movement to get antimicrobials off the market and only used as a last resort. It's that dangerous.
The role of gut microbiota in immune homeostasis and autoimmunity
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3337124/
[Keeping a delicate balance in the immune system by eliminating invading pathogens, while still maintaining self-tolerance to avoid autoimmunity, is critical for the body’s health. The gut microbiota that resides in the gastrointestinal tract provides essential health benefits to its host, particularly by regulating immune homeostasis. Moreover, it has recently become obvious that alterations of these gut microbial communities can cause immune dysregulation, leading to autoimmune disorders.]

Oh and my favorite: cooking destroys the nutrients and health benefits in meat:
CXCII. THE EFFECT OF COOKING ON THE DIGESTIBILITY OF MEAT.
https://europepmc.org/backend/ptpmcrender.fcgi?accid=PMC1254788&blobtype=pdf
[THE question of the effect of cooking on the digestibility of foods has long been a subject of discussion. General opinion may be summed up in the words of Hutchison [1927]: "It is an error to suppose that cooking increases the digestibility of foods. That is only true of vegetable foods. The digestibility of animal foods is diminished rather than increased by cooking."
This diminution of digestibility in cooked foods is upheld by Clementini [1923] who found that when animals were fed on autoclaved meat the nitrogen balance became negative. 'He -states however that this may partly be accounted for by the dislike shown to the autoclaved meat by his experimental animals.
Richet, Oxner and Richards [1925, 1926] state that cooked meat is of less value as a food for fish than raw meat, since fish fed on cooked meat die about the fiftieth day whilst those kept on raw meat survive. It seems possible since meat formed the sole diet in these experiments that an alteration in the vitamin content may be one of the causes of the inferiority of cooked as compared with raw meat as a fish food. A similar observation was made on the diet of Eskimos by Heinbecker [1928] who states that the Eskimo in his natural state eats practically only raw flesh and remains healthy. On the contrary it is well known that when, owing to the spread of civilisation, the Eskimo cooks his meat, scurvy breaks out.]
Later in this case review is noted that animals do grow faster when supplemented cooked meat, but this is because of pre-denatured proteins and nothing more, and being bigger doesn't mean jack squat is the specimens die from lack of the nourishment that was destroyed. Overall protein digestibility is unchanged in this case. Boiling does cause problems.
Effects of Meat Cooking, and of Ingested Amount, on Protein Digestion Speed and Entry of Residual Proteins into the Colon: A Study in Minipigs

Compared with Raw Bovine Meat, Boiling but Not Grilling, Barbecuing, or Roasting Decreases Protein Digestibility without Any Major Consequences for Intestinal Mucosa in Rats, although the Daily Ingestion of Bovine Meat Induces Histologic Modifications in the Colon
https://academic.oup.com/jn/article/146/8/1506/4584673
The difference? Most people leave meat raw at the center when they do everything but boiling. This makes up for that deficit of the destroyed nutrients.
~~
This has even been shown in milk, where pasteurized was found to be horribly destroyed so the dumb-dumbs added fake nutrients to compensate? Dude, just stop roasting it to death. Pasteurization was invented because of inhumane practices on raising cattle and feeding them distillery swill refuse.

We've been dumbed down so much by modern pharmaceuticals that something that was common knowledge, like making an antibiotic with moldy bread, was lost until some random scientist left his samples out to mold. The Egyptians gave a thorough record of the medicinal uses of things like honey and mold and it was basically a pamphlet instruction for everyone. They did not make money off pharmaceuticals, so they didn't hide it from the public. (Their diseases were due to their vegetarian, grain-based, beer-riddled diet.)
The antimicrobial activity of garlic and onion extracts.

~So not only does it ward of vampires, it destroys pathogens and other things.
And then there's this, which I found as a pot of gold in naturopathy:
Antimicrobial Properties of Garlic Oil against Human Enteric Bacteria: Evaluation of Methodologies and Comparisons with Garlic Oil Sulfides and Garlic Powder
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC92605/
[All bacteria tested, which included both gram-negative and -positive bacteria and pathogenic forms, were susceptible to garlic materials.]

~Tuburculosis. Ancient peoples used garlic against it, and it took science this long to figure it out because those same people were burned or drowned by the old churches as devil worshipers for using plants in a way that was strange to the people who murdered them.
There are other things like bubonic and such that respond to this and as a medicine, garlic was used during the bad seasons. Unfortunately, the resources I had were ripped down by allopathic systems which are trying very hard to stamp out "alternative medicine" as a valid practice (it was here first, dangit), and the links to the original study-filled info are no longer functional. I didn't know this was a trend or I'd have saved all the info in PDF format, but alas, it's too late and I am still searching the library at Purdue University for the sciences because at the least, those still exist. Thus is the downfall of the Internet. If you don't print a hard copy or save a PDF of information, it can become unobtainable at the drop of a hat.
Here are a couple of them which used to have the valuable information until the massive pharma corporate infestation stepped in and shut the good resources down:

And conventional antibiotics? They have their place, they really do, but they are not the epicenter and should be a last resort due to the negative effects.
Antimicrobial activity and immunological side effects of different antibiotics.
http://europepmc.org/abstract/med/8157137
[Such effects may be clinically relevant especially when an impairment of immunological functions is seen. ... Preliminary findings show that a correlation exists between the effect of antibiotics on the immune response, especially the humoral response, and the appearance of resistance in bacteria to these antibiotics.]
~Correlation does not equal causation, but the evidence is so strong that there is now a movement to get antimicrobials off the market and only used as a last resort. It's that dangerous.
The role of gut microbiota in immune homeostasis and autoimmunity
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3337124/
[Keeping a delicate balance in the immune system by eliminating invading pathogens, while still maintaining self-tolerance to avoid autoimmunity, is critical for the body’s health. The gut microbiota that resides in the gastrointestinal tract provides essential health benefits to its host, particularly by regulating immune homeostasis. Moreover, it has recently become obvious that alterations of these gut microbial communities can cause immune dysregulation, leading to autoimmune disorders.]

Oh and my favorite: cooking destroys the nutrients and health benefits in meat:
CXCII. THE EFFECT OF COOKING ON THE DIGESTIBILITY OF MEAT.
https://europepmc.org/backend/ptpmcrender.fcgi?accid=PMC1254788&blobtype=pdf
[THE question of the effect of cooking on the digestibility of foods has long been a subject of discussion. General opinion may be summed up in the words of Hutchison [1927]: "It is an error to suppose that cooking increases the digestibility of foods. That is only true of vegetable foods. The digestibility of animal foods is diminished rather than increased by cooking."
This diminution of digestibility in cooked foods is upheld by Clementini [1923] who found that when animals were fed on autoclaved meat the nitrogen balance became negative. 'He -states however that this may partly be accounted for by the dislike shown to the autoclaved meat by his experimental animals.
Richet, Oxner and Richards [1925, 1926] state that cooked meat is of less value as a food for fish than raw meat, since fish fed on cooked meat die about the fiftieth day whilst those kept on raw meat survive. It seems possible since meat formed the sole diet in these experiments that an alteration in the vitamin content may be one of the causes of the inferiority of cooked as compared with raw meat as a fish food. A similar observation was made on the diet of Eskimos by Heinbecker [1928] who states that the Eskimo in his natural state eats practically only raw flesh and remains healthy. On the contrary it is well known that when, owing to the spread of civilisation, the Eskimo cooks his meat, scurvy breaks out.]
Later in this case review is noted that animals do grow faster when supplemented cooked meat, but this is because of pre-denatured proteins and nothing more, and being bigger doesn't mean jack squat is the specimens die from lack of the nourishment that was destroyed. Overall protein digestibility is unchanged in this case. Boiling does cause problems.

Compared with Raw Bovine Meat, Boiling but Not Grilling, Barbecuing, or Roasting Decreases Protein Digestibility without Any Major Consequences for Intestinal Mucosa in Rats, although the Daily Ingestion of Bovine Meat Induces Histologic Modifications in the Colon
https://academic.oup.com/jn/article/146/8/1506/4584673
The difference? Most people leave meat raw at the center when they do everything but boiling. This makes up for that deficit of the destroyed nutrients.

This has even been shown in milk, where pasteurized was found to be horribly destroyed so the dumb-dumbs added fake nutrients to compensate? Dude, just stop roasting it to death. Pasteurization was invented because of inhumane practices on raising cattle and feeding them distillery swill refuse.
