Go to your naturopath, or maybe post on here for advice or just curl up and die!!

Crikey the plot thickens , sounds like they didn't even bother to test for 1080 maybe if they just say botulism a few more times itl just go away

Hm, just came across this article...
Carbon MonoxideMost meat eaters may be unaware that more than 70% of all beef and chicken in the United States, Canada and other countries is being treated with poisonous carbon monoxide gas. It can make seriously decayed meat look fresh for months.
Carbon monoxide (often referred to as CO) is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas, one measly oxygen molecule away from the carbon dioxide we all exhale. But that one molecule makes a big difference in that it does very, very bad things to the human body at very, very low concentrations.
CO is toxic because it sticks to hemoglobin, a molecule in blood that usually carries oxygen, even better than oxygen can. When people are exposed to higher levels of CO, the gas takes the place of oxygen in the bloodstream and wreaks havoc. Milder exposures mean headaches, confusion, and tiredness. Higher exposures mean unconsciousness and death, and even those who survive CO poisoning can suffer serious long-term neurological consequences.

They just reported on TV3 that 1080 was tested for and eliminated.

Yeh that is what I heard as well Ryan so when TV3 said they had I was thinking HUH?

IF, offal or stomach contents was eaten, would that raise the chance of getting a decent dose of poison if it was a poison in the first place?

It has got to the point that one cannot believe a single bloody thing in print or on video...I dunno why tv 3 even perservers(spelling sorry?) with the "news" anymore...".mediaworks "have totally given up on bringing us the public any facts at all and now produce some "comedy" show for news .

The family friend in the video spoke well I thought and seemed to have a good grasp of of the facts and time line. He said no pesticide tests had been done. Im inclined to believe him over a TV news report at this stage. Something more concrete may come out. I do think it would be a mistake to not test for 1080/brodi and the relative govt departments should be pushing for it. Not testing will just add fuel to the 1080 debate.

Absolutely Brodi and 1080 should have been tested for from the outset...saves a lot of speculation doesn't it.

Family tested for 1080.

No evidence that it was the meat that made them sick.

Yes I read that but thats not what was being said ear;ier and its in contradiction with the report from the family spokesman in this interview. This ambiguity needs to be tidied up
