The Benefits Of Eating Like A Horse

A friend brought me an article written by a Doctor named David G. Williams who writes articles called "Alternative For The Health Conscious Individual". The article is about a company named DIAMOND V MILLS located in Cedar Rapids, IA who has been manufacturing a fermented yeast animal feed additive for about 65 years.

It seems that the people who work in the manufacturing plant of this company have been inhaling the yeast dust for years with some VERY INTERESTING health benefits. Apparently, the yeast intake has strengthened their immune system SIGNIFICANTLY. The company now manufactures the yeast product for human consumption under the name of EPICOR. He however recommends and takes himself the FEED GRADE Diamond V XPC LS (the LS variety is the certified organic variety) or if not available the Diamond V XPC. Dosage for humans is 1/4 teaspoon per day.

Interesting facts - 1 part ber billion of the yeast will totally inhibit the growth of E-Coli, It completely stops the growth of Candida tropicalis, human natural killer (NK) cell activity rose fourfold, humans taking the yeast culture exhibited higher levels of antibodies in the blood, IgA (immunoglobin A) antibodies were astoundingly higher. An aside is that IgA is the main active immunoglobin in colostrum. The yeast culture has over 3 times the antioxidant capacity of any other known food. Cost about 1.1 cents. Cheap enough!!!!

As soon as I get to my local feed mill I will order this stuff for me, my family and all of my animals.

The article I have been quoting from is from the September 2007 (volume 12, issue 3) of Alternatives For The Health-Conscious Individual.

BTW - smaller bags are available on ebay. Do a search on Diamond V. No, I am not one of those selling the product.

Hmm. I see the website calls it "selenium yeast". Could be the main benefit is the Selenium? Selenium is in short supply in many areas of the country and should be supplemented.

Interesting, though.

BTW, is that Diamond "Vee" or is it Diamond "Roman Numeral 5"?

I assume it is Diamond VEE. I typed it exactly as in the article. Selenium is part of the product, but the Selenium yeast and the others I mentioned are not the same product. The article was specific about which product.

Does he explain how the digestive system keeps working without E. coli in it? That bacteria is essential for digestion for all warm-blooded creatures and you would quickly suffer ill health without it.
