- The mission of the Emily Project is to foster awareness
about Bovine Leukemia Virus and empower people with more knowledge. We
encourage those that are interested in finding out more about Bovine Leukemia
Virus to read and investigate our site. The Emily Project site is a vast
reservoir where great information about Bovine Leukemia Virus resides.
-
- "While Bovine Leukemia Virus is not the main cause
nor the only cause of cancer, we can not ignore that BLV has been discovered
in some female breast tissues. Such discovery then raises the concern about
a possible link between the human consumption of beef and dairy products
containing BLV and the development of cancer in humans and animals.
-
- "On April 1, 2003, the day Emily died, the World
Health Organization projected that by 2020 the cancer rate will be 50%higher
then our present rate. Currently, the cancer rate in dogs is 46% and 39%
in cats. They are our "canary in the coal mine" as they age 6
times faster than humans. Therefore, it is believed that the cancer rate
for humans, dogs and cats will be close to 50% by 2020."
-
- Note - It is almost there now, according to some reports.
