It seems to me that a CS water bath would only kill germs on the exterior 
portion of the meat.  If the meat is truly diseased the bath would leave 
the interior meat untouched.
One way I can think of to remedy this problem would be with a Tilia Food 
Saver vacuum sealer.


One of the optional accessaries is a large acrylic canister with a special 
lid that you hook a piece of tubing to and then to the sealer itself. Slice 
open the meaty portions of the chicken or whatever kind of meat, place  in 
the canister and cover with your CS solution.  Place the lid on the 
canister, apply the vacuum and release the vacuum three or four times.The 
vacuum opens up the inner pores of the meat and releasing the vacuum causes 
the meat to suck in the CS solution.  This is the same technique 
recommended for speed marinating meat.

I put the meat in the CS/water first, turn on the oven or the gas
under a pan and , pat the meat dry then put the meat straight in.  How
long did that take?  A minute at most.  I'm usually hurrying to create
a smell that might indicate a meal has been started - [Here's a hint:
a tiny piece of onion in a heating oiled pan gives you lots of time to
get started on a meal - the onion creates a deceptive aromahusband

True, there are some endospores that are heat resistant, but then CS is
unlikely to affect them. Some bacterial toxins are heat resistant, I'm
not sure that CS will render them safe. If the meat is not cooked
through then CS is probably not going to be effective either as it will
not penetrate into the body of the meat.

It could be that some people might develop a false sense of security in
soaking meat in CS. If the meat is not safe to eat after cooking only,
then it is probably not safe to eat after a CS soak and cooking.

However there is a place for CS in preserving cooked and uncooked food.

Ivan.

  If if just use bare wires on the end of an extension cord plugged into 
opposite ends of the chicken [or whatever]  not only will it electrocute 
the worms but it'll do a nice job of cooking the chicken. BTW, don't pick

Re: CS and the meat you eat

2000-07-28 Thread Brickeyk
To kill all living things, Dr. Clark says you must equal the temp. a hospital 
does to sterilize their equipment.  So don't even try, as you can't get 
there.  She is now saying to cook it twice with a cool down in between.

I have a small Christmas tree farm and also make and sell wreaths.  The one 
problem with them is if I grow a tree bushy so you can't see the trunk, the 
inside of the tree gets moldy.  Making wreaths if I stack one wreath on top 
of another, the bottom wreaths get moldy.  Maybe I will try a Cs dip for the 
wreaths anyway.  I sprayed my peach trees and cherry trees with 1 T Cs in 
about a quart spray bottle like 409 comes in.  The cherry tree has new leaves 
that are way bigger than the old ones and the peach trees are looking better. 
 I now brought out my 4 gallon sprayer and will try 4 ounces Cs in it for 
more fruit trees and maybe some moldy grand fir trees.

Bob - I added another 82 ohm resistor to the 13.5/30 VDC power supply and 
have another batch cooking.  This makes a total of 164 ohms added.  Do you 
think that is enough resistance?

I don't undertand the question.  Are you saying that it showed 1/6 the weight on
a scale when on the moon?  If so then the scale could easily have a spring in it
6 times as strong.

You are correct that it is normally only a problem in pork.  However the 
problem is
that a grocery store butcher will often grind pork, then grind beef without
properly cleaning the machine.  The same can apply to the tools and table they 
use.

Hey Folks:
Guess what -- raw meat contains enzymes! Presumably, the benefits of
enzymes, along with a generally healthy diet, would help the body fight the
parasites.

Just another way of looking at it. Many people around the world eat raw
meat.

Hi Marshal;

I always thought it was limited to pork but looked it up.


trichinosis (tr¾k1õ-nÅ2s¾s) n.

A disease caused by eating undercooked meat, usually pork, that contains
trichinae, which develop as adults in the intestines and as larvae in the
muscles, causing intestinal disorders, fever, nausea, muscular pain, and
edema of the face.

I know sushi is raw fish and a popular dish. Guess worms are a risk but as
a kid I remeber eating raw hamburger and beef.

I don't believe so.  I have had to work with drawing perspective for
about 3 decades as an engineer.  Basically if you want to find the
source of light you connect the tip of the shadow to the top of the
object with a straight line on two objects, and where they cross is the
perspective location of the source.  The shape or slope of what the
shadow falls on is irrelevent, all it can do is move the point up and
down the straight line, the line will remain in the same place.

If we do this the lines cross somewhere underground, an impossibility
for one light source, the sun should be up, not down.

Thus either there are multiple light sources, or two images have been
blue screened together or otherwise altered.

However, I agree with the moderator, that this discussion is not
relavent to CS and should be dropped.

I ran across that same contention just a couple of days ago myself.  I do know
that the early Russian humans in space films were faked.  I knew it from the
first day I saw them, since I knew that one cannot have bubbles in space,
reversing of direction by simply moving the arms, and there is so much UV in
space that the crystal clear visors in the spacesuits would have meant
horrible sunburn in a matter of seconds.  All these impossibilities were
easily seen in the early films they produced.

A good movie is "Capricorn One", in which the walk on the moon is faked.

Wayne's an interesting guy.  :)  I've known of him since the 50's, and
visited him several times when I lived in New England.

However, not all of his ideas agree with known facts (and I mean
facts, no scientific opinion).  For example, human beings have eaten
cooked meat for hundreds of thousands of years -- almost as long as
we've been a species.  Our food consisted mainly of meat/fish, usually
cooked, with some berries, other fruits and root vegetables thrown in.


Grains -- the main staple for most of the world these days -- was not
eaten by our distant ancestors.  Only over the last 10,000 years or so
have we had grains, fruit trees as we know them, and other vegetables.
(How they popped into existence within the last 10,000 years is open
to LOTS of debate.)  IOW, there's no evidence for almost all of our
current foods prior to 10,000 years ago.

What this means, assuming you accept evolution as being valid, is that
our bodies have evolved over a few million years to the cooked meat
and potatoes (with berries) diet.  Other foods could possibly be less
efficient in providing nutrients our bodies need.  They could even
interfere with good nutrient processing.

(BTW, I had a radical shift in point of view after I figured this out.
I was a "mostly vegetarian" prior to looking into the matter of human
nutrition from an evolutionary perspective.)

I sometimes use food grade Hydrogen Peroxide. It works well provided the
contamination stays on the surface of the meat (that is, you can't do this
with ground beef, for instance).

I imagine silver would work too -- and with the two items together, why you
have an unbeatable combination.

TUMOR MEAT

Meat from diseased animals approved for consumers
By LANCE GAY
Scripps Howard News Service
July 14, 2000

WASHINGTON - The federal agency overseeing food inspection
is imposing new rules reclassifying as safe for human consumption
animal carcasses with cancers, tumors and open sores.

Federal meat inspectors and consumer groups are protesting the
move to classify tumors and open sores as aesthetic problems,
which permits the meat to get the government's purple seal of
approval as a wholesome food product.

"I don't want to eat pus from a chicken that has pneumonia.
I think it's gross," said Wenonah Hauter, director of Public
Citizen's Critical Mass Energy Project. "Most Americans don't
want to eat this sort of contamination in their meals."

Delmer Jones, a federal food inspector for 41 years who lives
in Renlap, Ala., said he's so revolted by the lowering of food
wholesomeness standards that he doesn't buy meat at the
supermarket anymore because he doesn't trust that it is safe
to eat.

"I eat very little to no meat, but sardines and fish," said Jones,
president of the National Joint Council of Meat Inspection
Locals, a union of 7,000 meat inspectors nationwide affiliated
with the American Federation of Government Employees. He
said he's trying to get his wife to stop eating meat. "I've told
her what she's eating."

The union is battling related Agriculture Department plans
to rely on scientific testing of samples of butchered meats to
determine the wholesomeness of meat, rather than traditional
item-by-item scrutiny by federal inspectors. A 1959 federal law
requires inspectors from the Agriculture Department's Food
Inspection and Safety System to inspect
all slaughtered animals before they can be sold for human
consumption.

The Agriculture Department began implementing the new policy
as part of a pilot project in 24 slaughter houses last October, and
plans to expand the system nationwide covering poultry, beef and
pork. The agency this month extended until Aug. 29 the time for
the public to comment on the regulations, and won't issue final
rules until after the comments are received.

In 1998, the inspections and safety system reclassified an array
of animal diseases as being "defects that rarely or never present
a direct public health risk" and said "unaffected carcass portions"
could be passed on to consumers by cutting out lesions.

Among animal diseases the agency said don't present a health
danger are:

- Cancer;

- A pneumonia of poultry called airsacculitis;

- Glandular swellings or lymphomas;

- Sores;

- Infectious arthritis;

- Diseases caused by intestinal worms.

In the case of tumors, the guidelines state: "remove localized
lesion(s) and pass unaffected carcass portions."

"They just cut off the areas,'' said Carol Blake, spokeswoman
for the Agriculture Department's inspection and safety system.

But Jones and consumer groups say production lines are moving
so fast that they can't catch all the diseased carcasses, and some
are ending up on supermarket shelves.

"When I started inspecting, inspectors were looking at 13 birds
a minute, then 40, and now it's 91 birds a minute with three
inspectors. You cannot do your job with 91 birds a minute,"
Jones said.

The Agriculture Department is also experimenting with proposed
rules that would require federal food inspectors to monitor what
the plant employees are doing, rather than inspecting each
carcass individually. They are aimed at bringing a new scientific
approach to federal meat inspection to cut down on E. coli
bacteria and other contamination.

The inspection and safety agency says a survey of pilot plants
using the new system concluded that less than 1 percent of the
poultry examined at the end of the production line and released
for public consumption was unwholesome.

At a public hearing on the findings this year, Karen Henderson
of Agriculture's division of field operations admitted that
defective carcasses are being approved for human use under
the pilot program.

"Absolutely. There's no system that we are aware of that is
capable of removing every defect from the process," she said.

Felicia Nestor, director of the Government Accountability
Project, a Washington watchdog group, said the pilot project
found chickens with higher levels of fecal and other
contamination than in traditional methods of inspecting.

"A lot of diseased animals are going out," she said.

A. Raymond Randolph, a federal appeals court judge, this month
said federal food safety laws require meat and poultry inspectors
to examine every carcass that moves through slaughterhouses and
processing plants.

"The laws clearly contemplate that when inspections are done,
it will be federal inspectors, rather than private employees,
who will make the critical
