Still, I have heard many people saying that now-a-days pigs are raised in hygienic conditions and fed clean food, and that they are quite different from their fore-fathers who ate human dirt and soil; and that their meat is not a danger to health. ANSWER: All the statements of the doctors quoted above are about those very pigs who are raised in hygienic conditions and still carry the germs. Those are the findings of recent times based on experiences of modern pig-raising.

And still you must have marked such statements as follows: "Balantidium Coli is extremely common in swine. Recent surveys reveal an incidence of 21 to 100 per cent." "It is only in pig-raising countries that ths disease is common." "One in six people in U. S. A. and Canada that have worms in their muscles from eating pork." "No one is immune from this disease and there is no cure.

Neither antibiotics nor drugs or vaccines effect these tiny deadly worms." "There is still no way of killing the parasite (Paragonimus) in the tissues, neither has anyone found a method of expelling them." "Medical science, in spite of its strenuous efforts, has not yet been able to produce any specific treatment for it (Clonorchiasis)." "'Erysipelothix' is found in the body of some 30% all healthy pigs.

Thus eradication is impossible." Today, all pig farms are run on so-called hygienic principles. But still the result is the same as it was centuries earlier. Still, let us, for the sake of discussion, accept that a time may come (in distant future, perhaps) when drugs may be found to counteract the ill-effects of the germs and parasites carried by pigs.

But even then it will not sanction the use of pork as a diet, just as discovery of snake-bite serums does not sanction our putting our finger in the mouth of a cobra. CONCLUSION I am really very much perturbed by these observations. l find that there is Truth in what you have said. l agree that pork is extremely harmful to the health, no matter how hygienic the conditions in which pigs are kept now-a-days . I promise that from now on I will never take pork, bacon or anything connected with pig.

I know that breaking a habit is a very difficult thing; but I hope that by my strong will and the help of God I will succeed in my resolution . ANSWER: Yes. I am sure, God's help will always be available to you if you genuinely want to obey His Command. May God Be With You. THE END…
