So as some of you might be aware I have a major fear of Rabies. I live in the UK so not really a problem here but it has always been something that scares the life out of me.
Anyway I recently saw a Naturopath (former NHS GP) regarding ongoing IBS other general symptoms and borderline thyroid results.
He suggested that I use an adrenal glandular product as he thinks I have Adrenal fatigue which is stopping my body utilising thyroid hormone and hence giving me all these symptoms.
He gave me details of products that he recommends and the company is UK based and they have a very good website which explains exactly how they source/make their products.
My concern is the glandular supplement he suggested comes from cows and it says on site their meat comes from free range cows who are grass fed, free from antibiotics etc and they come from Argentina or New Zealand.
Now I happen to know that Argentine Cattle quite frequently get rabies from Vampire bats.
I emailed the company supplying the supplement and they said that all of their meat is checked by vets before and after slaughter and certificates issued and they follow the FDA recommendations and the meat they use comes from the same meat that is going into the human food chain so it is perfectly safe for human consumption.
My concern is the glandular products aren't cooked, they are freeze dried and then ground into a fine powder and from what I've read freeze drying doesn't kill the rabies virus.
So the question is do you think it's possible to contract rabies by taking these supplements?
I know this might seem extreme and I want to try the product but I can't stop worrying.
