Our World and Health

Hello, this is Debbie Allen, owner of WebDeb.Com,on the threat of pathogens and how you can safeguard your family.

Our World and Health?
by Jim Lynn

Three news stories within the past week re-enforces our plea for people to be aware that health dangers are all about us.

The three headlines read:
Flu-like virus kills 4 children in Johnston, IA
Parasite a big problem in Houston'
E. coli linked to to Sizzler hygiene

Des Moines Register, Iowa
News article - "CLICK HERE"
A common virus has killed four children in the last two weeks at the Johnston Children's Habilitation Center.

Parasite a big problem in Houston
Houston Chronicle
A brain-burrowing parasite passed on by people infected with pork tapeworms is responsible for up to half of seizures in Hispanic immigrants admitted to Houston hospitals, a tropical disease researcher said today.

E. coli linked to to Sizzler hygiene
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Oct. 31, 2000
State health officials blame restaurant procedures for summer's E. coli outbreak at a Milwaukee Sizzler restaurant, saying in a new report that some employees washed their hands in buckets, mixed new food with old on the salad bar and processed raw meat near ready-to-eat foods.

What strikes me most is not that these disease outbreaks occur, but rather how little attention is given to them. The thinking is, unless we live in that city or area, why be concerned. It is as though we have a "it won't happen to me" mentality.

Oh sure, the stories are reported and people do care, at least those in the area who are directly affected. But the populace at large remains generally unmoved by these stories.

It is this "other guy" syndrome that reflects how little we regard our health in general. It is not until we fall victim to illness and disease that health issues really get our attention. Just human nature I think.

However, each one of us can no longer afford to live our lives in this manner. Our world has become much smaller with the advent of technology. A man suffering from Ebola in Uganda (80 people have died there from Ebola this past week BTW) can infect a whole community in Iowa the next day.

Bio-terrorism is very high on the FBI's watch list here in America; Influenza season is coming on (some 20,000 people are killed every year by the flu); and almost every community has some health related issue facing it.

While you cannot stop these events from happening, you can take active steps to safeguard your own personal health. You can take an active responsibility in your own well being.

Pathogens like viruses and bacteria can only grab hold in bodies whose immune system have been compromised. It is a documented well known fact that a human being in full health can withstand any viral or bacterial disease onslaught. Think about that!

But many of us do not have full health. Our body's have been compromised by years of living unhealthful life-styles. Yes, the environment plays a factor, but wholesome food and efforts to improve our environment can make the difference between life and death. Even more remarkable, our body's have the amazing ability to re-build their defenses given half a chance to do so.

No one but you can place wholesome, unprocessed food on your table. No one but you can educate your family about the necessity of supplementing your diet with nutritional supplements. No one but you can take active steps to purify the water you drink or the air you breathe in your home. No one but you can take the steps necessary to safeguard your family against a health calamity. Anything less is the equivalent of playing Russian Roulette, and hoping that "it won't happen to me."

THE ABOVE DISCLAIMER is made to protect the editor's gluteus maximus from the wrath of pharmaceutical and medical cartels protected by regulatory law. For what it's worth, Essential Oil related therapy predates the American Medical Association and Food and Drug Administration by at least 6,000 years. You decide!

PHARMACEUTICAL dispensed drugs are toxic failures not fit for human consumption. According to JAMA (Journal of the American Medical Association), Prescribed drug-caused deaths rank 4th on the list of causes of death. 1994 statistics show 106,000 people died from unintended drug side-effects. This would be considered criminal by any other civilized standard.

Dr. Julian Whitaker, M.D., Medical Editor for "Health and Healing," estimates 18 million more people have survived toxic side effects from these same drugs prescribed by their doctors...Over 2 million of them were bad enough to be hospitalized in 1994 alone. Chemical Drugs and the so-called "health" system that promotes using them are part of the problem, not the solution.

YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE for your own health, not the AMA, FDA or your physician. If your physician prescribes a drug for "treatment," ask him or her what known side-effects exist. If he or she downplays any risk, ask yourself this question... Is playing Russian roulette with drugs worth risking your life? It can and does happen...106,000 deaths every year!!
