Thank you for your insights. From reading a lot of papers and studies, I understand these biosynthetic organisms are feeding on red blood cells as their primary source of fuel rather than carbs. Though no one is certain this is the case. We have more to learn.

I agree eating as cleanly as possible is important. Though people have been successfully eating grains for centuries, so I doubt it's grains themselves that are the problem but likely the way they are produced and manufactured into end products for consumption.

I also thought the reason cows have intestinal infections from eating grain is that grains are an unnatural diet for them. Their stomachs are designed to digest grasses and so their digestive system is very slow as grasses are tough and take a long time to digest as opposed to grains which digest much more quickly and easily. Grains stay in their stomachs entirely too long causing bacterial growth and infections.

In other words, it's not grain that is the problem for cows but us feeding them the wrong diet. To speed weight gain and bring them to slaughter sooner and more economically than allowing them to pasture and eat grasses.

I sincerely wish these biosynthetic organisms were natural parasites. Then we could use tried and true protocols to eliminate them. But this is not the case. Our bodies' natural lines of defense against invading parasites is ineffective since these organisms are not natural parasites.

Thank you again. All of what you recommend is useful.
