    Please feel free to post any ask-the-doctor type questions here in the comments section and I’d be happy to try to answer them. And check out the other videos on fecal contamination. Also, there are 1,449 other subjects covered in the rest of my videos–please feel free to explore them as well!

      Absolutely appalling to learn that there is so much fecal matter in our meat. Doesn’t fully cooking meat get rid of the bacteria?

    This is bad but not surprising, unfortunately. It is defies reason why we find the animal industry standards acceptable when it is making people sick and killing people. I found your discussion about chicken and Guillain Barre to be particularly interesting. WOW. I’m a nurse and we do see that from time to time–not terribly common but we see it– and it IS like a horror movie. Another really good reason to avoid chicken (how many do people need??)…..By the way, thanks so much for the work you do on your website. It’s the best of it’s kind I have found. Great information!!
