Synopsis
Diseases and global warming result from the exploitation of livestock and nature. For half a century Mother Earth has given man dominion over his own reproduction and the reproduction of all animals and plants on earth. Meat and table eggs are still exclusively produced by artificial insemination and with breeding and incubators. African swine fever, annual flu viruses and coronavirus pandemics result from diseases in animals that can also spread to humans. Suspended moisture droplets (aerosol) are 0.5-10 micrometers (µm) long. A person who ingests, inhales, or is otherwise exposed to positive fluid droplets contaminated with bacteria or viruses may be exposed to hundreds or thousands of bacteria or virus particles, increasing the risk of infection. Respiratory droplets can be transmitted through coughing, sneezing, contact with contaminated surfaces or through inhaled suspended respiratory droplets (aerosol). Therefore, each individual must take appropriate measures to reduce their own exposure to these particles if there is a risk of contamination.
About Peter A.J. Holst MD PhD
Dr. Peter A.J. Holst worked as a general practitioner in The Hague, the Netherlands. With the support of the Dutch Prevention Fund, he conducted research into new cases of cancer in his own practice (10-year practice survey) and, with the help of pulmonologists, into new cases of lung cancer in all hospitals in The Hague (prospective patient research).
In lung cancer patients, an association has been shown with keeping (and especially breeding) tropical birds and pigeons. This connection has been confirmed by others in new and independent research. His interest in the link between breeding tropical birds and cancer has expanded to the health risks of the intensive breeding and fattening of poultry, pigs and cattle for consumption. Since the fifties of the 20th century, artificial breeding in livestock has increased sharply. Our diet has become increasingly unnatural, which is consistent with the recent increase in cancer mortality.
