Very interesting post about connection between rheumatoid arthritis and drinking milk and eating beef.

Hi parkie13,

This does not surprise me at all because Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) has been implicated in Crohn's (putative cause), Parkinson's disease, Type 1 Diabetes and Multiple Sclerosis. It is a highly dangerous bacterium and when milk is pasteurized it only kills the weaker bacteria and MAP survives. It is an intracellular pathogen and amoebas, etc.. eat the bacteria thinking they are getting a meal - not really. When milk is pasteurized MAP is protected by the body of the amoeba and it survives.

Parkinson's disease:

MS:

T1Diabetes:

And, of course, Crohn's:

Pathogenic mycobacteria are different from bacteria like E. Coli and Salmonella. Both E. Coli and Salmonella produce cell wall endotoxins (which are poisons associated with Parkinson's) and their cells divide in 20 and 60 minutes respectively. The reason why they make you sick is they divide fast and when the bacteria die they release their toxins.

Mycobacteria do not produce toxins and pathogenic mycobacteria divide very slowly. Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the cause of TB, divides from 18 - 24 HOURS. MAP divides every 48 hours and M. leprae divides once every 2 weeks. This is the reason why TB patients have to take antibiotics for at least 4 months to kill an infection. Leprosy patients, depending of the type of infection they have, can take antibiotics up to 2 years - think about that.

So basically these slowly dividing mycobacteria are gradually melting down your immune system to make you sick. Mycobacteria have fungal properties and infect the same areas of the human body as a fungus does.

Thanks for posting the article.

thank you for posting with all the citations. It is very scary. Long time ago when I first joined I did post about it. Mary

In Europe they are using different pasteurization process. In United States the pasteurization and Ultra pasteurization does not kill the organism. I believe in Europe they have extended the time.

Is there a way to get diagnosed to see if one has this infection?

[silvestrov in reply to rebtar]

Dr. John Herman-Taylor has developed a test for MAP but it has been only used in conjunction with the development of his Crohn's therapeutic vaccine.

With time I think it will find wider use like the antibiotic RHB-104. RHB-104 was developed to treat MAP infected Crohn's patients and given the association with paratuberculosis and MS, researchers started to 'experiment' on MS patients with RHB-104.

It is a wait and see scenario.

Thanks for the article and yes MAP/paratuberculosis is one of the most dangerous pathogens no one has ever heard of. Currently in America the doomsday clock is closer to midnight than it has been in a while so I am posting an article which reflects this reality. (I hope you like the cheerful title.)

I think it is stretching it a bit to say that rhematoid arthritis is caused by consuming beef or drinking milk. Linked to maybe. Its the bacteria that would be the cause. Interesting link all the same. I wonder if rates of this infection in cattle would vary from country to country. They also mention it is found in some fertiliser.

A strain of bacteria (MAP) commonly found in milk and beef may be a trigger for developing rheumatoid arthritis in people who are genetically at risk, according to a new study from the University of Central Florida.

We believe that individuals born with this genetic mutation and who are later exposed to MAP through consuming contaminated milk or meat from infected cattle are at a higher risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis," Naser said.

Hi Hokoi,

Neither here nor there, my father had RA.

Did you read the above post? I agree with you completely there's so many things that we do not know. Mary
