ANSWER...

ANSWER: According to the Chambers Encyclopaedia, this bacteria "can survive for long period in the soil and is also found in the body of some 30% of all healthy pigs. Thus eradication is impossible and overt disease is not a simple matter of infection." And what is more troublesome is the fact that the same bacteria causes the same disease in human beings. Thus anybody eating pork taken from even a "healthy pig" is in danger of the above-mentioned diseases and death.

The said Encyclopaedia says that "the same organism (i.e. germ) causes'erasipeloid' in man." QUESTION: Now I see the wisdom of the Islamic law forbidding pork; in fact, I am very much alarmed . ANSWER: As I told you earlier, it means bleeding of lung. This disease is quite common in China, Japan, Taiwan and countries where the consumption of pork is predominant.

Patients having this infection suffer from cough with rusty sputum and have repeated attacks of profuse bleeding of the lungs; disease in countries where human beings live in close association with pigs clearly shows that this animal is the reservoir of infection. The disease is, however, absent from countries where pigs are rare. QUESTION: And what is the 'Swine Abortion'?

ANSWER Its scientific name is 'Brucellosis.' The American People's Encyclopaedia (vol.15, please, now explain Endemic under 'Pig') says: "Brucellosis or swine abortion is important not only because of hog losses, but also because the disease may be contacted by man. In the hog, brucellosis causes abortion and sterility. The disease is difficult to diagnose and practically impossible to cure.

Disposal of infected animals is recommended." In short, the pig, the supreme germ carrier, is the cause of many serious and fatal diseases, among them, dysentry, thrichinosis, tapeworm, roundworm, hookworm, jaundice, pneumonia, suffocation, intestinal obstruction, acute pancreatitis, enlargement of liver, diarrhoea, emaciation, stone formation in liver, cancer, anaemia, high fever, hindrance of growth development in children, typhoid, lameness, heart trouble, abortion, sterility, and sudden death.

I do not know of any other animal carrying so many and so deadly bombs to wreck the human body. QUESTION: Now I am fully convinced that pork is not a food, but a package of poisons.
