Jerry Brunetti, Food as Medicine Retrospective Jerry Brunetti, founder of Agri-Dynamics, a 25-year-old company that offers natural and alternative livestock health approaches, has vast experience with farming, and animal nutrition. Brunetti speaks often to farmers about innovative eco-farming. He is a dynamic and inspiring speaker and readily shares information, even when personal. When diagnosed with Lyme disease and then Non-Hodgkins lymphoma based, he took his treatment program in his own hands After looking at the serious side effects of the recommended chemotherapy regimen CHOP, the Gold standard for Non-Hodgkins lymphoma, he went about researching his own cure. He had a rather unusual story to tell about how he created his own special concentrated whey extract from a pregnant cow. To read an interview of Brunetti re his battle with lymphoma, see: http://www.acresusa.com/toolbox/reprints/interview-brunetti_may02.pdf . He advocates nutrient dense foods ala the Weston Price food recommendations. He talked about the importance of products from grass fed cows such as organic raw milk, eggs, and meat. He looks at food as medicine and reminds us to re-evaluate the benefits of nutrient dense, traditional foods including meat, fats, roe, fin fish, eel, organic fresh vegetables and fruits, esp. the berries. . He recommends Microlactin for arthritis and for cancer a hyper-immune milk product such as AiE/10, a purified, concentrated bovine extract that provides the body with lactoferrin, granulocytes, cytokines, disaccharides and memory transfer factors. He quoted Dr. Tikal Dhiman from the Utah State University who estimates that you should be able to lower your risk of cancer simply by eating the following foods each day: one ounce of cheese and one glass of whole raw milk from a grassfed cow, plus one serving of grassfed meat. The fact that people living a century ago would have eaten these foods as a matter of course may help explain our much higher rate of cancer today.

She received her PhD in Lipid Biochemistry from the University of Maryland, and is a fellow of the American College of Nutrition. She is the author of Know Your Fats and co-author of Nourishing Traditions with Sally Fallon. She is presently working on her second book on trans-fatty acids. For more information on fats, see http://www.westonaprice.org/knowyourfats/skinny3.html Dr. Enig talked about the fallacies consumers are given about fats. The faulty hypothesis that saturated fats and carbohydrates cause obesity and heart disease are just not true. According to her research, we benefit from saturated fats. Our present diet is high in trans-fatty acids and omega 6, low in omega 3s and saturated fatty acids. Dr. Enig claims that fat is important for the brain, which contains mostly fat and cholesterol. Fat is important for organs, energy and cushioning. Omega 3 polyunsaturated fats promote immune function and omega 6 interferes with the immune function! She talked extensively about the dangers of transfatty acids that are everywhere in our food supply: margarine, popcorn, chips etc. Transfatty acids come with biohydration and are partially hydrogenated, which is not a desirable conversion and have no benefit. The anti-obesity saturates are palm and coconut oil, butter, pork, lamb, milk and beef. She emphasized that the new emphasis on lipids comes from bad science and domestic economic pressures, which has led the notion, that saturates are bad. Several lipid experts and prominent doctors such Walter Willet (1998) and Bill Lance disagree with the new notion on lipids. They’ve cautioned the public to limit their intake of transfatty acids and that saturated fats should NOT be avoided! Summary by Madeleen Herreshoff, Director of CANHELP,INC.
