Put them on pasture where they can get dirt and grass to provide beneficial bacteria may help.

Yes it would, but in your dreams.

Pigs, especially breeding females, are crammed into tiny cages where they can't turn around or lie down, treated like THINGS…They are miserable, and of course they're getting sick. I gave up my beloved yummy pork a year ago.

Meanwhile, I saw a cooking show from Ireland on PBS with the chef going out to his friend's gorgeous green farm and talking to very happy pigs who are trotting around out in the dirt and grass…THAT pork I"d happily eat. Cannot imagine the price per pound tho.

You might want to check out eatwild.com . Yes, prices are not cheap, but you can find pastured livestock. I’ve been buying pastured chicken, beef and pork (and eggs) from a farm that practices pasturing and follows organic practices. I couldn’t be happier.
