ONE MEDICINE, the livestock paradigm

[Jenny Lake]

Our plan-demic is being brought to us by the promoters of "One Medicine", a merging of human and animal medicine that is "integrating the control of disease in wild and domestic animals and humans" which is also described as "A quest for more knowledge in the management of populations" (quoted here, http://www.vetmed.ucdavis.edu/mpvm/newsletter.pdf)

University of California at Davis is a center for this practice. The US Dept. of Defense GEIS program, Global Emerging Infections System, and the CDC are oriented to this end. One Medicine and one set of treatment protocols.

The founders of UCD School of Veterinary Medicine supplied the impetus for One Medicine research; Calvin W. Schwabe, Hans Riemann, and Ray Bankowski among them. Some brief biographical info on them is in the newsletter, and I'll add more as I find it.

Schwabe declared himself a Quaker: he and his wife "Tippy" (pet name?) owned homes in Pennsylvania, California, and Alicante, Spain. Dr. Schwabe worked for many years in Lebanon and was a program director for the WHO.They have a son who develops health programs for Africa....
Riemann was a native of Denmark and despite a long career at UCD in the States, his children and grandchildren all live in Denmark. The Queen of Denmark knighted him for his work.
Bankowski is a bird flu expert...

Others from UCD such as Charles E. Franti, Margaret Myer and Thomas B. Farver have spent their careers furthering the objectives of One Medicine.

Here's a sample of the kind of research programs, in this case a partnership with Brazil to test the milk of genetically modified goats on poor Brazilian children suffering from diarrheal diseases:
