April
1, 2011 - The CDC and LA Times reports a "Superbug" that kills 40%
of the people it comes in contact with has hit 35 US States and is now
being spread through California medical facilities. A dangerous drug-resistant
bacterium has spread to patients in Southern California, according to a
study by Los Angeles County public health officials. More than 350 cases
of the Carbapenem-Resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae, or CRKP, have been reported
at healthcare facilities in Los Angeles County, mostly among elderly patients
at skilled-nursing and long-term care facilities, according to a study

Nutritional Support To Support Immune Function The
Role of Intestines in Immunology --
The period once euphemistically called the Age of the Miracle Drug is
now dead. And the indiscriminate use of antibiotics is leading us to one
of the most frightening eras in recent memory. That is, the return of infectious
diseases for which there is no effective treatment. Two decades following
the introduction of antibiotics, the medical community began to see a disturbing
trend. Bacterial infections that were once treatable no longer responded
to antibiotics. Penicillin is effective today against only 10 percent of
the strains of Staphylococcus aureus that it used to eradicate easily.
Those that did respond often required five to ten times the dose of the
drug that previously was effective. One example of this is the resistant
strains of gonorrhea that developed as a result of the antibiotics that
were used to treat it. have seen children who for years, suffer one
common cold after another, due to compromised immune
systems fundamentally brought about by a course or two of antibiotics
without supplementing the lactobacteria killed off by the antibiotics.
In this instance, it is important to replenish the friendly bacteria as
soon as possible in order to maintain good health.
Antibiotic
resistance is a type of drug resistance where a microorganism is able to
survive exposure to an antibiotic. Genes can be transferred between bacteria
in a horizontal fashion by conjugation, transduction, or transformation.
Thus a gene for antibiotic resistance which had evolved via natural selection
may be shared. Evolutionary stress such as exposure to antibiotics then
selects for the antibiotic resistant trait. Many antibiotic resistance
genes reside on plasmids, facilitating their transfer. If a bacterium carries
several resistance genes, it is called multiresistant or, informally, a
superbug or super bacterium.
The primary cause of antibiotic resistance is genetic mutation in bacteria.
The prevalence of antibiotic resistant bacteria is a result of antibiotic
use both within medicine and veterinary medicine. The greater the duration
of exposure the greater the risk of the development of resistance irrespective
of the severity of the need for antibiotics. As resistance becomes more
common there becomes a greater need for alternative treatments. However
despite a push for new antibiotic therapies there has been a continued
decline in the number of newly approved drugs. Antibiotic resistance therefore
poses a significant problem.
Antibiotic resistance is a widespread problem, and one that the U.S.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention calls "one of the world's most
pressing public health problems." Bacteria that were once highly responsive
to antibiotics have become increasingly resistant. Among those that are
becoming harder to treat are pneumococcal infections (which cause pneumonia,
ear infections, sinus infections, and meningitis), skin infections, and
tuberculosis. Certain antibiotic classes are highly associated with colonisation
with superbugs compared to other antibiotic classes. The risk for colonisation
increases if there is a lack of sensitivity (resistance) of the superbugs
to the antibiotic used and high tissue penetration as well as broad spectrum
activity against "good bacteria" Homeopathy
and Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria
The
widespread use of antibiotics both inside and outside of medicine is playing
a significant role in the emergence of resistant bacteria. Antibiotics
are often used in rearing animals for food and this use among others leads
to the creation of resistant strains of bacteria. In some countries antibiotics
are sold over the counter without a prescription which also leads to the
creation of resistant strains. In supposedly well-regulated human medicine
the major problem of the emergence of resistant bacteria is due to misuse
and overuse of antibiotics by doctors as well as patients. Other practices
contributing towards resistance include the addition of antibiotics to
the feed of livestock. Household use of antibacterials in soaps and other
products, although not clearly contributing to resistance, is also discouraged
(as not being effective at infection control). Also unsound practices in
the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry can contribute towards the likelihood
of creating antibiotic resistant strains.
After 40 years of pushing antibiotics for any ailment, physicians are
now confronting bacteria that have built defenses against those same drugs.
Some infectious bacteria that were once treatable are stronger and often
deadly. The reappearance of highly infectious bacteria is caused in part
by the overuse and misuse of antibiotics,
but the resilience of bacteria also stems from the ingenious biochemistry
of the microorganisms themselves. To survive, microorganisms and fungi
mutate into resistant strains.
But carbapenem-resistant genes have been spreading elsewhere. The 2009
case of a woman in Sweden with a carbapenem-resistant infection picked
up in India prompted the UK's Health Protection Agency to issue a National
Resistance Alert at the beginning of last year. In it, the HPA warned of
a slow international accumulation of bacteria armed with the resistant
gene, listing spreads of infection in the USA, Israel, Greece and Turkey.
The Danger of Antibiotic Overuse
The data may be new, but the issue has become a perennial one: the overuse
of antibiotics. Earlier this week, the University of Nebraska reported
the results of two national surveys on the issue. These polls have estimated
that between approximately 70 to 80 percent of physician visits for sinus
infections resulted in a prescription for antibiotics. The problem lies
in the fact that these medications are designed only to attack bacteria,
not viruses. Yet, it is viruses which cause the overwhelming majority of
sinus infections (often referred to as a "cold" or "the flu"). So, what
is the harm? The answer is a phenomenon known as bacterial resistance to
antibiotics.
Resistance
occurs because there are millions of “healthy” bacteria which live symbiotically
within us. These bacteria help us to live normally, and we allow them the
same in return. When the occasional unhealthy strain arises and causes
disease, we can knock that strain out with antibiotics. Unfortunately,
testing for unhealthy strains of bacteria can take days to weeks. Hence,
the concept of a “magic bullet” is exceptionally attractive in acute illness,
both to patient and caregiver alike. But if we take antibiotics when unhealthy
bacteria are not causing trouble, we only hurt the healthy bacteria in
our bodies. Naturally, our healthy bacteria begin to fight back, and they
find ways to avoid succumbing to antibiotics. It is only a matter of time
before these antibiotic resistant, healthy bacteria become antibiotic resistant
unhealthy bacteria. The result is a disease-causing bug that can be treated
with few or no available medications. Such drug-resistant strains represent
a potent danger, both to self and to others: and especially to those whose
immune systems are most vulnerable. learn more
Homeopathy is a system of medicine used
by tens of millions of people around the world that is based on a law of
nature first discovered by Hippocrates and others.? That law states that
substances capable of producing symptoms of disease can cure those symptoms
in a sick person.? In the US, the medicines used in homeopathy are produced
in pharmacies under strict FDA guidelines. They are non-toxic, gentle,
inexpensive – and effective.
There are hundreds of high quality, peer reviewed pre-clinical and clinical
studies published in journals like Pediatrics, Rheumatology, Lancet, CHEST,
and others showing that homeopathy works for patients with a range of ailments.
What’s more, reliable medical records from the 19th and 20th centuries
recorded during deadly bacterial and viral epidemics of influenza, pneumonia,
cholera, diphtheria, yellow fever, dengue fever, scarlet fever, typhoid,
malaria and other infectious diseases repeatedly show that homeopathy is
an effective system for treating patients with virulent infectious conditions.
Epidemiological evidence from those epidemics reveal mortality rates in
patients treated with homeopathy that were a small fraction of those seen
in untreated as well as conventionally treated patients.
Homeopathic medicine developed significant popularity in the nineteenth
century in the United States and Europe as a result of its successes treating
the infectious disease epidemics during that era. Homeopathic medicine
is a medical system that is specifically oriented to using nanopharmacologic
and ultramolecular doses of medicines to strengthen a person's immune and
defense system rather than directly attacking the microbial agents.
The U.S. Congress was urged in testimony before the House Government
Reform Committee, Dan Burton (R-Ind.), chairman, full committee hearing,
November 14, 2001, to consider the use of homeopathic medicines for both
viral and bacterial illnesses associated with bioterrorism. In testimony
from Wayne B. Jonas, MD, former director of the Office of Alternative Medicine
at the U.S. National Institutes of Health and current director, Samueli
Institute for Information Biology, Alexandria, Virginia, and associate
professor, department of family medicine, Uniformed Services University
of the Health Sciences, F. Edward Hebert School of Medicine, the panel
learned that: * Homeopathic medicines have a 200-year history of safe and
successful use in epidemic disease of both viral and bacterial origin;
Homeopathic drugs are recognized by the FDA; Homeopathic medicines are
generally inexpensive and widely available in the United States. In addition
to their use against infectious disease, homeopathic medicines are being
commonly used for stress related symptoms following trauma.
Your immune system is constantly on the prowl for pathogens and foreign
antigens—agents of cellular damage, toxicity and disease. These antigens
include viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungi and even pre-cancerous cells.
To neutralize these pathogens, the body needs a ready supply of glutathione.
If it doesn’t have enough, some of the invaders will get through, infecting
the body and/or contributing to aging, long-term accumulative damage—even
eventual cancers. We can’t avoid illness and aging altogether, but by keeping
our intracellular glutathione levels elevated,
we also keep our immune system on full alert and fully armed.
Dr. Gustavo Bounous, discoverer of Immunocal,
has focused on glutathione as support for
the immune system. “ The limiting factor for the proper activity and multiplication
of our lymphocytes (white blood cells) is the availability of glutathione”,
he states. Dr. Bounous’ research at McGill University has spawned countless
other research papers worldwide examining this phenomenon.
Professor Dr. Wulf Droge MD - "The human immune system is extremely
dependent on adequate glutathione levels
to perform properly. Even a partial depletion of the intracellular glutathione
pool has a dramatic consequence for the process of blast transformation
and proliferation, and for the generation of cytotoxic T cells." ( T –cells

The danger model: a renewed sense of self" is a landmark article published
in the J. Science 2002;296:301. It reminds us of the work of Dr. Metnikoff,
who won the Nobel Prize in medicine in 1908 by demonstrating the ancient
principle that most of our immune system is in the intestines. This concept
is being resurrected by mainstream researchers. ("Mucosal Immuniry:its
role in defense and allergy," J. International Archives of Allergy and
Immunology 2002;128:77.) Marine phytoplankton
works as a super-food, its salutary work begins in the intestines, by healing
the lining cell membranes of our intestines, and by improving the quality
of food our friendly organisms need to thrive on. They, too, are an integral
part of our immune system. In fact, the liver is also part of the immune
system. As we have already discussed, healing these organs leads to an
improvement of practically all medical conditions. Most of this improvement
is through the healing of our immune systems in the intestines.
The
intestinal lining becomes porous when it is inflamed, oxidized, toxic,
and lacking in energy. 'This is called "leaky
gut." This allows for "translocation" of toxins and noxious organisms
from the intestines to the rest of our body. One of the many problems that
result is a priming of the "systemic immune system" to attack molecules
and tissues it should not be attacking. This means that the immune system
you are more familiar with (white cells, antibodies, immunoglobulins, etc.)
is overwhelmed, and confused. This is the main reason why we develop "autoimmune"
problems, such as arthritis, lupus, thyroiditis, etc.
The immune system in the intestines and in the rest of the body are
composed of "glycoproteins." This means
that its components are proteins that need the correct sugars to attach
to them in order to be structured, and function the correct way. This is
one of the reasons why refined sugars depress our immune system. One can
of Coke impairs white cell function by more than half, for over three hours.
Marine phytoplankton provides the right sugars, thus healing these glycoproteins
to improve their ability to fight noxious organisms, and toxins. "Immunotoxicology"
is the science that tells us that toxins in the environment compromise
our immune system. By improving our detoxification pathways throughout
our body, FrequenSea also improves the immune system.
"The intricate interface between immune system and metabolism" (J. Trends
in Immunology 2004;25:193.) reminds us of the concept of "Metabolomics."
By improving our cells' ability to produce energy, we also improve our
immune system. After all, it also needs energy to function. This also means
that being obese and prediabetic compromises our immune system. By improving
insulin resistance, Marine phytoplankton improves the immune system.
Hugo Rodier M.D. -
"There are very few products that provide all, or even most, of the raw
materials to make new cells and sustain the existing ones. The problem
is that we need ALL of them at the same time for things to work. One of
those rare products that contains almost everything you need for life (and
the rebuilding of a healthy life) is marine phytoplankton.
Dr. Joseph Rodrigo M.D - "Almost all diseases begin in the digestive
track. This includes diabetes, asthma, cancer, alzheimer's, heart
disease, memory loss, fibromyalgia, MS, and too many to even list here.
If you are seeking health, and you have not found the answers to your recovery
and healing, start here. Your intestinal track is the origin of disease,
and it is also the origin of your healing. I cannot emphasize enough
how important the cleansing of your digestive system is, to your health."
Dr. H. H. Boeker believed that over 90 percent of diseases are caused
or complicated by toxins created in the intestinal tract by unhealthy
foods that are not properly eliminated." Autointoxication occurs when,
due to poor elimination, certain toxins escape from the bowel into the
blood stream and poison the body, causing a silent form of self-poisoning.
Sixty
to 80 percent of the lymphatic system is in your small intestine. Called
the
gut-associated
lymphoid tissue (GALT),
it is almost synonymous with the term immune system. The gigantic task
of your GALT is to discriminate between nutritious components and possible
antigens passing through your bowel.
Autointoxication
or "self-poisoning" from the bowel was a recognized cause of disease
in the early 1900s. Dr. H. H. Boeker stated in 1928, "It is now universally
conceded that autointoxication is the underlying cause of an exceptionally
large group of symptom complexes." Recent research seems to support these
earlier conclusions about intestinal toxemia. Virtually every state of
health is affected by the GI tract. In addition to processing
nutrients as the principal pathway of the digestive system, the gastrointestinal
tract (GI tract.) is a prominent part of the immune
system, providing various levels of defense against pathogenic
microorganisms and potentially toxic substances throughout the path of
digestion. If these waste products are not regularly eliminated,
they begin to poison the body and blood. Unchecked, this autointoxication
may ultimately lead to disease and even death.
Substances that are toxic to our bodies come at us from all directions:
the air we breathe, the food we
eat, the water we drink, the cleaning products we use, and the metabolic
waste produced inside us. Toxins build up in the body faster than they
can be removed, contributing to premature aging and chronic and degenerative
diseases. Dr.

H1N1
Swine Flu Vaccine Warning According to a recent Fox News poll, the majority of people in the
US now believe the swine flu vaccine may be deadlier than the actual virus.
Research published in the August 25, 2009 issue of the British Medical
Journal reveals that more than half of doctors and nurses in public hospitals

The Pandemic Response Project (PReP) is a volunteer organization founded
by Vaccine Rights Attorney Alan Phillips, J.D. Presently, most states can
mandate vaccines without exemptions during a declared emergency, and quarantine
non-vaccinated residents in government facilities against their will. PReP's
primary goal is to reform emergency health laws to allow citizens to say
"NO!" to these and other mandatory emergency procedures and protocols.
The primary motivation for this agenda is the profoundly mismanaged 2009-2010
swine flu pandemic that enriched vaccine manufacturers with wasted public
funds and caused unnecessary death and disability to vaccine recipients
world-wide.
In December of 2001 (in the wake of 9/11), the CDC began aggressively
promoting the Model State Emergency Health Powers Act (MSEHPA), which proposed
sweeping, overreaching state authority during declared emergencies. In
the years that have followed, most states have enacted parts of this Model
Act, giving states new authority that more severely restricts citizens'
rights and choices during declared emergencies in areas including forced
vaccination and quarantine. more...

The immune system is not responsive to drugs for healing. Antibiotics
used to fight infections actually depress the immune system when used long-term.
Disorders in the immune system can result in disease. Immunodeficiency
diseases occur when the immune system is less active than normal, resulting
in recurring and life-threatening infections. In contrast, autoimmune diseases
result from a hyperactive immune system attacking normal tissues as if
they were foreign organisms. Natural nutritive forces, like healing foods
and herbal medicines can and do support the immune system. By rebuilding
immunity, health is naturally restored and disease disappears. Transfer
Factor and Immunocal are powerful natural
immune support products.
Greg B. Wilson, Ph.D. and James B. Daily, Jr., Ph.D. - "Our health
is directly influenced by our immune system. The onset of
almost all infectious and degenerative disease is preceded or accompanied
by inadequate immune response. With intensifying concerns about the
perils of vaccinations and antibiotic resistant organisms, a new weapon
against disease is sorely needed. Transfer factors are such a weapon, and
based upon almost 50 years of research, Transfer Fator appear to be highly
effective with few, if any, side effects. If our immune systems are
functioning normally, transfer
factors are produced after we are exposed to infectious agents such
as viruses, bacteria, fungi, and parasites. Recent research, however, provides
evidence that transfer factors, even from another animal such as a cow,
can enable us to develop immunity to infectious agents before we are actually
exposed to them. In addition, transfer factor administration can
accelerate our immune response once we have been infected. This new
approach to optimizing the immune response to infectious agents promises
to revolutionize our approach to disease prevention and control!"
In 1949, Dr. H. Sherwood Lawrence made a revolutionary discovery while
studying tuberculosis. He determined that an immune response could be transferred
from a donor to a recipient by injecting an extract of white blood cells
(leukocytes)
from a previously infected, now healthy, subject into a newly infected
patient. He found that this extract contained a factor capable of transferring
immunity. He named the substance "transfer factors." Dr. Lawrence's discovery
came in the midst of the discovery and use of antibiotics. Transfer
factors have been used throughout the antibiotic age in different
regions of the world such as China, Poland, Italy and others, but never
have been available commercially due to the lack of technology. In
the fifty years since Lawrence's pioneering work, an estimated $40,000,000
has been spent on research
resulting in over 3,000 published scientific papers documenting the benefits
of various forms and sources of transfer factors. Beyond

ScienceDaily— (Washington, DC) – Oil from the common herb oregano
may be an effective treatment against dangerous, and sometimes drug-resistant
bacteria, a Georgetown researcher has found. Two studies have shown that
oregano oil—and, in particular, carvacrol, one of oregano’s chemical components—appear
to reduce infection as effectively as traditional antibiotics. These findings
were presented at the American College of Nutrition’s annual meeting October
6 and 7 in Orlando, Fla. Harry G. Preuss, MD, MACN, CNS, professor of physiology
and biophysics, and his research team, tested oregano oil on staphylococcus
bacteria—which is responsible for a variety of severe infections and is
becoming increasingly resistant to many antibiotics.
They combined oregano oil with the bacteria in a test tube, and compared
oregano oil’s effects to those of standard antibiotics streptomycin, penicillin
and vacnomycin. The oregano oil at relatively low doses was found to inhibit
the growth of staphylococcus bacteria in the test tubes as effectively
as the standard antibiotics did. Another aspect of the study examined
the efficacy of oregano oil and carvacrol, which is believed to be the
major antibacterial component of oregano, in 18 mice infected with the
staph bacteria. Six of the mice received oregano oil for 30 days, and 50%
of this group survived the 30- day treatment. Six received the carvacrol
in olive oil, not oregano oil, and none survived longer than 21 days. Six
mice received olive oil alone with no active agents (the control group)
and all died within three days. A repeat study corroborated these findings,
which demonstrates that there are components of oregano oil other than
carvacrol that have antibiotic properties.
“While this investigation was performed only in test tubes
and on a small number of mice, the preliminary results are promising and
warrant further study,” Preuss said. “The ability of oils from various
spices to kill infectious organisms has been recognized since antiquity.
Natural oils may turn out to be valuable adjuvants or even replacements
for many anti-germicidals under a variety of conditions.” Georgetown University

By creating antibiotics we have introduced non-biodegradable antibacterial
substances into the ecosystem at the rate (now) of 40 million pounds a
year. To survive, for our species to survive, bacteria had to evolve and
they have at a rate never before seen on Earth. In this process they have
become more intractable and virulent than ever before. But more than this,
bacteria previously benign have been learning how to become virulent. We
have upset the bacterial balance of nature to a frightening degree. Over
the next decade our antibacterial arsenal will begin to fail at an ever
increasing rate. Epidemiologists now warn of epidemic diseases that are
not treatable by modern means. But it turns out that herbal medicines,
those most ancient of human helpers, are effective against antibiotic resistant
bacteria for they are much more complex than antibiotics and bacteria cannot
develop resistance to them. Herbal
Antibiotics explores the ecological basis of bacterial resistance,
some of what we can do to prevent it, and the top fifteen herbs to use
as antibiotic substitutes for treating the most intractable resistant diseases.
By learing to understand bacteria as a crucial life form on Earth and how
to live in balance with them instead of destroy them, ecological healing
- a healing that takes into account our place in the circle of life - can
begin.
Healing with Holy
Thistle (Blessed Thistle) and Other Herbs The use of blessed thistle commonly known as holy thistle (Carbenia
benedicta) has been recorded as far back as the early sixteenth century
for treating smallpox, fever, anorexia, dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation,
and flatulence. Monks often grew Blessed Thistle as a cure for small
pox. Historically, blessed thistle tea has been drunk for digestive problems,
liver and gall bladder problems, headache prevention, respiratory ailments,
memory improvement and external problems such as sores, boils and itchy
skin. The plant gained the title "blessed" for its use in treating plague.
Blessed thistle is also used as a strong but gentle liver tonic herb, promoting
metabolic activities in the liver cells and toxin elimination. Especially
noted as a tonic herb for women. Some individuals employ this herbs, as
they would its cousin milk thistle, as a remedy for gallbladder and liver

Moringa’s use as an antibiotic in traditional medicine dates back thousands
of years, while scientific evidence of it has been in existence since the
late 1940’s. These studies were conducted largely in the orient, which
is why Western medicine and the pharmaceutical industry have largely remained
ignorant of it. Indian scientists have identified Pterygospermin as the
active compound in moringa that causes its antibacterial action. Pterygospermin, once
consumed, breaks down into two separate benzyl isothiocyanate, a substance
with known antimicrobial properties. Studies have shown that moringa leaf
juice can be particularly effective against the Pseudononas aeruginosa
bacterium, which can cause diseases in both animals and humans.
This bacterium usually infects people with damaged exposed tissues or
a weakened immune system, oftentimes manifesting itself through inflammation.
In severe cases, the bacteria can take hold in the major organs such as
the lungs, kidneys, or the urinary tract, with potentially fatal consequences.
Staphylococcus aureus, a bacterium more commonly known as the cause of
staph infections, which usually manifest as a skin infection. It was found
that moringa was just as effective as the commercial antibiotic Neomycin
in getting rid of the infection.
Moringa (Malunggay) health and nutritional benefits
has been documented in a number of medical and scientific literatures and
is being used world-wide for the prevention and treatment of diseases and
to combat malnutrition, especially among infants and nursing mothers. Moringa
preparations have been cited in the scientific literature as having antibiotic,
antitrypanosomal, hypotensive, antispasmodic, antiulcer, anti-inflammatory,
hypocholesterolemic, and hypoglycemic activities, as well as having considerable
efficacy in water purification. . more...
What
Every Parent Should Know BEFORE Their Childen Are Vaccinated! Why
are a growing number of parents and health care professionals around the
world questioning vaccination? The controversy stems from the thousands
of deaths and permanent disabilities attributed to vaccination annually,
as well as the many published medical studies, government statistics,congressional
testimonies, and other credible sources that directly contradict commonly
held assumptions about vaccine safety and effectiveness.
Bart Classen, a Maryland physician, published data showing that diabetes
rates rose significantly in New Zealand following a massive hepatitis B
vaccine campaign in young children, and that diabetes rates also went up
sharply in Finland after three new childhood vaccines were introduced.

In fall 1997, two influential professional magazines featured articles
asking the question: Has the decrease of infectious diseases in childhood
through the mass use of vaccines been replaced with an increase in chronic
diseases such as diabetes and asthma? The Economist, a prestigious international
magazine read by world leaders in government, business and public policy,
and Science News, a magazine read by both health care professionals
and the general public, explored the reported links between vaccines and
chronic diseases in their November 22, 1997 issues.

The Military, Microbes And Secret Tests Using the U.S. Public Wall
Street Journal, Monday, October 22, 2001 (front page): Year
ago, Bugs Thought Safe Were Sprayed on Big Cities "In Senate subcommittee
hearings in 1977, the U.S. Army revealed that weeks before Mr. Nervins
sickened and died, the Army had staged a mock biological atack on San Francisco,
secretly spraying the city with Serratia and other agents thought to be
harmless. The goal: to see what might happen in a ral germ-warfare attack.
The experiment, which involved blasting a bacterial fog over the entire
49 square-mile city from a Navy vessel offshore, was recorded with clinical
nonchalance.
Wall Street Journal, Monday,

"Thousands of U.S. sailors may have been unaware that they were
exposed during secret germ-warfare experiments. Nine times within a month
jets sprayed clouds of a biological weapons simulant in front of the ships.
The tests violated government policies in place for the last 50 years."more...
