Alpha-Gal Syndrome

[kaiser715]

If any of y'all have friends or family with Alpha-Gal (the "red meat" allergy from a tick), Amaroo Farms up in Liberty NC is now selling the AG-free Gal-Safe pork.

I've been getting ostrich, emu, duck from them. The pork is genetically modified, removing the galactose-a-1,3-galactose sugar molecule, for use in heart and kidney xenotransplants, and the meat is a secondary revenue string. Up to now, the company, Revivicor, has been giving it away randomly (send them an application, they may or may not send meat in a few months).

GALSAFE® PORK

Raised in small numbers, Amaroo Hills' GalSafe® pigs do not contain detectable levels of alpha-gal. This is accomplished through a single genetic alteration that inactivates the gene that produces alpha-gal. Amaroo Hills' GalSafe® pigs do not have any other genetic additions or alterations and...

Not cheap, but it's real pork.

Are they doing something to the pork after it is processed, or have they figured out the breeding to get that out?

The Pigs are genetically modified... Originally for Organ Transplant to humans, Which is in itself pretty amazing, The Meats just a happy accident.

FDA approves genetic alteration in pigs

Modification removes allergen, raising potential for medicine and meat production

I sent this to a friend who has this so hope it does him some good.

To be honest, this is not what I expected this thread to be about when I opened it.

The part that I'm not sure I can get over.... 6 of the 10 genetic edits in this line of pigs are sourced from human DNA. At what point are they just making human-meat?

For some reason, humans and great apes evolved, losing the galactose-a-1,3-galactose carbohydrate. So basically, human flesh and the great apes are the only mammals that AGS folks don't react to when consuming. And now human-pigs.

I like bacon…and ostrich for that matter. That’s all.

Damn, so this is cannibalism of sorts...

I know Scott Monk from here was the first person I’ve ever heard of contracting this. I need to call him and see how he’s doing with it. I know I’d be in a world of hurt if I couldn’t eat some of my favorite dead animals.

I was on another forum and this guy had AGS I asked him about the Emu meat he was ordering. But he also talked about a treatment. I didn't look into it but figured i could post it here if you wanted to look into it. Seems weird to me that it would work but he said it did.



"First off, tell your friend to look into SAAT treatment. It's acupuncture, but a different type. They put 3-4 very small needles in your ear that stay there for a month, then test again, and either reapply or not. I was told 2-3 treatments was typical, but after the first one I was good to go.

The meat was ordered from amaroohills.com. It's not cheap, but ostrich and emu are so much like beef it cures that craving for a burger or steak. The ground is $15/lb, the steaks are $30-40/lb, plus 2 day air shipping.

While it was awesome that the treatment worked so quick for me, I'd just ordered $350 worth of meat from them the day before I found out I was ok, not expecting it to work after only 1 treatment."


Seems too easy of a fix but you never know.

My index toe had been hurting for two weeks so I cut my toenails and hoped that would fix but NO, it didn't. I gave it a few days and still had piercing pain. Pain was crazy this morning so I took my socks off and found that I had a piece of braided steel wheel wire in the end of my toe. I removed it and no more pain. Imagine that!

Some people swear by the SAAT, some people are non-believers. I think it's a bunch of bullcrap, but to each his own. Talking about it is banned on several online groups. For as many as have had it done, with good or bad results, there has to date been no valid peer-reviewed study to either prove or disprove it.

For some people, I think that there is also a psychological component, and maybe that's the people it helps.

Here is a summary: "Soliman Auricular Allergy Treatment (SAAT) for Alpha-gal uses specialized, energetically imprinted homeopathic vials to identify specific meat/dairy sensitivities via applied kinesiology or Bio-Energetic testing. The test determines the precise, highly conductive auricular point for inserting a needle to "reprogram" the immune system, designed to allow reintroduction of alpha-gal foods within 3–4 weeks."

Yes, you read that right, they use a couple of glass vials that you pick up. Supposedly the one with the Alpha-Gal molecule makes your arm/hand weak, and you can't grasp or pick it up.
