Portugal reports 21 mad cow cases in December
05:48 a.m. Jan 13, 1999 Eastern
Lisbon newspapers Diario Economico and Publico reported on Wednesday
that Portugal had a further 21 cases of "mad cow disease'' [Bovine
Spongiform Encephalopathy, BSE] in December, 1998. Those 21 cases push
Portugal's total since 1990 to 195, including 104 in 1998. In
November, [a government spokesman] said that there had been flaws in
sanitary controls to prevent the spread of BSE in Portugal.

[The results of lax sanitation when dealing with BSE can be very
frightening, since BSE has been linked to the new variant form of
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease in people. Let us hope that all countries
maintain tight sanitation controls - Mod.TG]

Language is such a little twister, ain't it?
Why would farmers want to experiment with home-remedies,
such things as herbal extracts (cinnamon oil), household items
(baking soda, hydrogen peroxide), biostimulants (farm pond
algae-slime, manure fermented in a cow's horn/BD 500,
herbal teas of comfrey or nettle), etc?
I think the answer is simple, because they have brains
with which to manage a system through enhancing the
health and ecology of the rhizosphere and phyllosphere
instead of relying on purchased pest control inputs. And more
importantly, there are still quite a few bugs and diseases that defy
control by synthetic-conventional or biorational or
certified-organic-approved pesticides. Such is the case with
hydrogen peroxide experimentation on early blight for tomatoes,
compost teas for late blight on potatoes, etc, etc.

Here are a few definitions from Javier Vargas, who has worked in Chiapas
for
the past 30 years.
Vision: The mind's flight spiritually constructing the future within human
reach.
Affection: The space cultivated so that feelings may live and the heart
may
flourish.
Reflection: The internalizing of space in movement to understand both its
orientation and destiny.
Trust: The tenderness of the soul, bringing gifts of flowers and song for
those who accompany the journey.
War: Space in submission withering the soul; the culture and the
environment under the fallacy of illusory power.
Reconciliation: The movement of the heart returning to heart, re-creating
the source of affection and hope.
