THE FARMER IS HOWARD LYMAN. THIS IS SOME OF HIS STORY. Lyman is known as the MAD COWBOY, and his website can be found at http://www.madcowboy.com/
I had the opportunity to view one of his lectures that had to do with the inherent dangers of MEAT~DAIRY PRODUCTS~FISH, which are, in effect, the holy trinity of the food intake of most Americans. Lyman was a farmer, and he knew otherwise: that these things will only cause long term problems to those who eat them on a consistent basis.
[This was interesting to me, since I had just listened to Dr. Lorraine Day say pretty much the same thing from her perspective as a successful recovering cancer victim and trauma specialist orthopedic doctor at San Francisco Hospital; cf. web page: "Dr. LORRAINE DAY on HEALTH."]
Professor Lyman started out as a 4th generation farmer in Montana, and his father always grew things ORGANICALLY! But "smarty-pants" Howard would learn in college that there was a bigger and better way to do things-by the use of pesticides- so the yield of the crops would yield money in the Lyman coffers. Needless to say he was 'successful' with a million dollar business ~ BEFORE HE SAW THE LIGHT!
In his lecture, he explains the light as his conversion BACK TO HIS FATHER'S WAYS, while recovering from a very severe tumor of the lower spine, in which he was told that he would probably be in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. He beat the odds, and felt he had a mission from God to return to nature's way of growing things (organically,) and also to spread that word ~ because of its urgency [THE EARTH WAS & IS DYING,] so now he lectures wherever he can. He is quite a dynamic speaker who needs no notes to tell people what he has learned. (Today he is a practicing vegetarian.)
LYMAN speaks of a dying planet ~ with an ozone hole twice the size of Europe, an ICE SHELF that is rapidly disappearing, and forrests, like in British Columbia, that have been decimated! Added to this, ECOLI 015787, which is extremely deadly, has invaded countless chickens, and along with two other bacteria, have infected 100% of a supermarket sample, as he related in a California lecture, which I viewed. He implies that this is systematic of a much larger problem. If it happens in cows, as in MAD COW'S DISEASE, in the United States, as in England, the results will be catastrophic. (In the lecture, he indicated that between 13-14% of what cows feed on is other cows: if one of these cows is infected with MAD COW'S DISEASE ~ we are setting up a scenario that happened in England.
In 1983, he started to work with farmers about growing things organically, but by 1987 he was up against the GOLDEN RULE: The men who got the gold, make the rules!
He was up against the powerful DAIRY INDUSTRY: OUR JOB IS TO SELL MILK! Yet to Howard's horror, he found out through his research THAT IRONICALLY - the protein in milk does not add to supporting the bones, but rather leeches those same bones because there is too much protein in the body. [This has also been documented by Robert Cohen; cf. "FAVORITE LINKS" for reference.] One thing he mentioned in the lecture was that ESKIMOES, who consume the most protein worldwide, die at the average age of 46, kidney failure being a prominent causal factor.
Professor Lyman also gives suggestive statistics showing that SATURATED FAT & CHOLESTEROL (from animal products,) kill one out of two via heart disease, and one out of four from cancer. He also mentions that the cancer rate is growing, and growing rapidly, especially among women under forty, where he introduced another study that indicated this.
RECOMINENT BOVINE GROWTH HORMONES has IGF-1, WHICH ACCORDING TO LYMAN, INCREASES BREAST CANCER by a factor of seven in women. In other words, by drinking cow's milk, you not only not protect your bones, but you are potentailly hastening a painful death! [ENOUGH SAID?]
According to the MAD COWBOY ~ FISH is not much better. As a matter of fact, after DAIRY PRODUCTS AND CHICKEN (which contains arsenic, by the way,) it contains all the pesticides that are dumped into the ocean within 500 miles of shore. (Jacque Costeau used this as a barameter of what fish he would himself eat, according to Howard.)
RED MEAT, especially hot dogs & hmaburger meat, are particualrly deadly, since in hot dogs, the fat content approaches 80% which will layer itself on the heart, et al, while hamburger meat - you really don't want to know this - comes from spent dairy cows, 40-60% of the time. [Dr. Day had indicated that hamburger meat comes form cows that are dead~dying~diseased or disabled! ENOUGH SAID?!?]
God created us to be able to live 120 years, and our immune systems can handle up to 500 cancer cells...BUT...if we dump hot dogs and hmaburgers into our bodies by the truck-load, says Lyman, then even God will not be able to help you.
PART OF THE REASON LYMAN IS DOING THIS, is to make up for his past indiscretions. As a farmer, he was part of the "plot" to infest the land with dioxins, especially 245T & DDT, which have been linked to various forms of cancer.
We have lost the majority of our top soil in 300 years...and...it takes 500 years to develop one inch of that same top soil. [If you pick up the true story: "THE ELVES OF LILLY HILL FARM," you will see who are really the wise ones of the earth. It was written by a former V.P. of Chrysler in the Chicago area, and her story is quite revealing when it comes to the debate of ORGANIC FERTILIZER vs. PESTICIDES.]
There are many many more things in Lyman's lecture worth commenting on, but you can go to his website for that. Just remember his formula for eating well:
10% Portein....10% Fat (in adults) and 80% Carbohydrates. He would agree with Dr. Lorraine Day, that most of these things should come from a diet of fruits, grains and vegetables.....or simply be a vegetarian. There does not seem to be much latitude here, if you wish to live a quality life, even if it is not 120 years, unless, of course, you make new friends very very easily.
