RSV is truly no respecter of species. It, like many other pathogens, only requires some live or dying animal to make its temporary home - and its taxi to its apparently most favorite host or victim - 98.6 degree humans! - you and your infant!

RSV hits and fills most half or more of the infant beds in hospitals in winter and early spring. With simple respiratory support early on, most babies survive, but the total number infected and fatally succumbing to it is altogether too many!

The path of RSV is identifiable and easily recognized by informed scientists and clear thinking  people when it is understood that RSV is also a prime calf killer among 5 month - down to new-born calf's in the fall to early winter; primarily calves born into dairy herds (to start each new yearly milk production after "feshening" of every milk producing female).

"Bovine"-RSV is contracted by the cattle from passing migratory and mingling birds (and transmitted in blood and body fluids, through biting flies, vermin, nuzzling and other animal contact) or through possible undercooked renderings presented as protein boosters in current high production feeds. The virus then incubates in the "re-freshed" lactating (newly milk producing) mother cow; then passed to her calf and presented in her milk production.

As a survived adult, her toughened immune response generally protects her, but that is not always so in a newly born calf. "Bovine" RSV is an important calf killer and problem for the dairy and beef cattle industry's production!

Meanwhile the RSV is contracted or easily spreads (but is not always evident) in all other members of the herd; so it can easily be vehicled to you in the dairy, dairy products, meat, tissues and by-products harvested from those production animals undetected.

The limited heat exposure in modern "flash" or normal Pasteurization does not kill RSV. Only high heat pressure cooking or fully sustained boiling will.

So a cow's milk drinking, cheese, ice-cream or meat eating mother can easily become mildly (sub-clinically) infected; then shed her incubated and multiplied virus in her breast milk taken in by her infant, infecting the child; or she gives it to her baby directly in a baby bottle filled with cow's milk or a cow's milk based infant formula or some dairy product.

The way to avoid RSV is to interrupt that animal tissue (including milk, dairy, etc.) contact and consumption transmission potential. A nursing mother can avoid infection of herself and her infant by avoiding all of the virus carrier animal fluids and foods.

Unfortunately a careful eating mother could be infected by intimate contact with her animal and dairy consuming spouse. Spouses need to stay out of the animal consumption loop to protect mother and child!

RSV is light, oxygen and exposure sensitive and cannot survive more than a few moments outside the protective shielding provided in milk, meat and animal tissues (that also includes eggs)! Air transmission or even surface contact and skin contraction has been shown to be next to none existent!

Unfortunately the air and surface contact infection myth is the medical profession's and the public's popularly accepted, extolled and believed way of epidmia! This ignorant belief and its manipulated acceptance -- instead of the true infection route -- is convenient for our animal foods developed and centered appetites, and for the profited meat, dairy and medical industries' sales -- but it is not convenient for true or safe human health and for protecting our precious infants! tlr

All rules that apply to RSV above also apply to the Flu virus here. Additionally we have decades of experience and evidence of the poultry and pork influenza infections; their transmission to humans through them; and the consequent production losses that plague those pork and poultry, their growers, handlers, packers and finishing food industries.

Veterinary medicine and the Human medicine didn't accidentally once call a strain of flu the "swine" flu in a light joke! It was named correctly, but thankfully it was not a terrible strain, or human killing Pandora, as was its 1918-1919 evil cousin!

Pigs consistently are victims themselves, and are efficient human form perfecting hosts of the virus as well.

And since pancreatin, that is: "rennet" is most often harvested from fresh slaughtered pigs and piglets and is added as a live enzymes (uncooked) mix to harden or set cheese; that is an additional pathway made into a serious possibility for you or your child's infection.

Additionally, purifying porcine insulin (or the many other swine "harvested" extractions) for human injection or ingestion is also a constant viral transfer concern and challenge for the insulin and drug manufacturers and should motivate diabetics (and other hormone treatment patients) to improve their health status to lower insulin (and/or any other pig or animal extractions) dependency.

Chickens, turkeys, ducks, quail and any other bird and their eggs, as well as fish, including algae/seaweed, are easy hosts, victims and vehicles of the flu -- and have no problem transferring influenza to you and your child through your handling and ingestion of them!

Go to the lake shores and see the peppering of them with dead migratory birds in the early winter which in turn become the infectious lunch for all the sea life and for the other birds, like seagulls or crows, etc, which then migrate and mingle with the domestic poultry flocks, pigs and livestock -- which end up in you.  tlr
