Rare respiratory virus: Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center sets patient record

A record number of patients were admitted to Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center Sept. 5
Medical officials admitted a record number of children to a local hospital over the weekend because of what they believe to be a rare respiratory virus spreading throughout the country.

Although there's been no confirmed cases of the enterovirus at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, officials admitted 540 patients Friday, said Dr. Derek Wheeler, associate chief of staff at the hospital.

The previous record was around 515, Wheeler said.

Some reports out of Missouri and Colorado suggest the virus, with symptoms similar to the common cold, brought sicker patients to hospitals, Wheeler said.

"We're just seeing the (increased) volumes, we haven't seen (patients) sicker than usual yet," he said.

Hospitals from other states have placed restrictions on visitations, but Wheeler said there are no plans to do that in Cincinnati.

The virus is similar to what doctors treat during cold and flu season. That means nothing really changes if a child comes down with the rare virus, he said.

"The bottom line is this is a virus you wouldn't treat with antibiotics, so other than the (high-level of) interest, there's no reason we would need to know it's an enterovirus," Wheeler said.

Imbalances in gut microbiome may cause rheumatoid arthritis

The microbiome and rheumatoid arthritis. a | In healthy individuals, a well balanced host–microbial cross-talk is essential for the maintenance of homeostasis. A thick mucus layer and epithelial cells prevent direct contact with the gut-associated immune cells, which constantly survey the contents of the intestinal lumen and eliminate undesired antigens.
Did you know that the key to relieving the terrible pain of rheumatoid arthritis may lie...in your stomach?

Inside every single human on the planet - including you - there is a community of millions residing. It's called your microbiome, and it's made up of millions of tiny bacteria that work to help keep your body functioning. In fact, these little creatures are so abundant that they outnumber your cells by about 10 to one.

These bacteria largely live in your gut and serve a number of purposes that help your body function properly. We're getting to know the microbiome a little more, but for the most part, it is largely misunderstood.

But here's what I can tell you from what we know so far...

We know that these bacteria are largely good bacteria and that they live comfortably and amicably. They help to break down food, absorb nutrients, expend energy, and remove waste. They also aid in combatting foreign intruders, so you stay healthy. After all, there are even more bacteria living outside you - on every surface - that can make you sick. When one of these types of bacteria gets inside of you, your microbiome kills it. Your microbiome plays a major role in your immune system, constantly providing protection from illness of which you're likely unaware.

Your microbiome is largely determined by genetics, but it can be altered through diet and other lifestyle and environmental factors. Therefore, it is in flux depending on how you live. When you eat poorly, smoke, get older, have a hormonal imbalance, or get infected, your microbiome changes. An imbalance is created, and this can cause a number of problems.

One of which may be rheumatoid arthritis.

Comment: Proper diet is important to the functioning of the immune system. Research has shown that gluten consumption is connected with a number of auto-immune diseases, among them rheumatoid arthritis. See:

Lab tests confirm HPV viral DNA fragments bound to Gardasil adjuvant, creating new compound of unknown toxicity

There is something deeply wrong with a giant pharmaceutical company spending hundreds of millions of dollars to manipulate women and influence legislation in order to generate a revenue stream of billions of dollars a year for itself at the expense of a gullible public. Gardasil is possibly the most dangerous vaccine on the market, with the potential to injure, maim, or even kill the children who receive it.
Merck can say that Gardasil contains 'no viral DNA' all they want, but Dr. Sin Hang Lee had reported to the FDA just over two years ago that the vaccine contains fragments of DNA that shouldn't be in something we give young women - so why is Gardasil still on the market?

After conducting extensive research, Dr. Lee found that in 100% of lab samples tested, fragments of HPV-11, HPV-16, and HPV-18 L1 DNA firmly attached to Merck's proprietary aluminum adjuvant.

Even though SaneVax Inc reported their findings to the FDA, the controversial vaccine used to treat cervical cancer is still being sold, and the FDA states that 'these fragments pose no health risk.' Once again, the FDA has ignored science which proves that a drug created by a big pharmaceutical company is less than safe.

Dr. Lee also found that the HPV DNA fragments were not only bound to Merck's proprietary aluminum adjuvant, but they had also adopted a non-B conformation, thereby creating a novel (new) chemical compound of unknown toxicity.

Comment: What many people fail to appreciate is that the human papilloma virus is a sexually transmitted disease, not a virus you can get by shaking someone's hand. Further, at least 50 percent of sexually active men and women acquire genital HPV infection at some point in their lives - and 90 percent of the time the virus clears up on its own within two years, and does not lead to cancer.

As of November 2013 there have been 31,741 adverse effects, including 6248 permanent injuries and 144 deaths recorded following Gardasil vaccine.

Inside the pseudo-scientific fraud of psychiatry

This is an article about the intentional construction of false reality.

Not a minor construction - a huge, enduring, institutional, wing-flapping, money-munching, poison-dispensing, Matrix-welding, yet "humanity-saving" invention.

In the wake of CDC whistleblower William Thompson's confession that he buried a vaccine-autism connection, some people reacted with shock - as if this was the first case of rank fraud that had ever taken place within the hallowed halls of medical research.

How about a whole branch of modern medicine that is a fraud from top to bottom?

Let us turn the page to Psychiatry.

And the lying liars who lie about it.

Most Americans don't have a clue about the way psychiatry actually works or its pose of being a science.

The public hears techno-speak and nods and surrenders.

Ebola infections growing 'exponentially', 2000 dead over 3,600 infected...

Medical staff carry James Dorbor, 8, suspected of having Ebola, into a treatment facility in Monrovia, Liberia, on Friday. The fear sparked by the Ebola outbreak is having a serious economic impact on Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, three nations already at the bottom of global economic and social indicators.
The Ebola virus is spreading exponentially across Liberia as patients fill taxis in a fruitless search for medical care, the World Health Organization said Monday.

In Sierra Leone, a doctor working for WHO tested positive and was preparing to be evacuated from the country. Meanwhile, the newest U.S. patient, a doctor infected in Liberia, was feeling a little better and could even eat a little, doctors treating him in Nebraska said.

The various reports illustrated in the clearest possible way the disparities driving the epidemic in West Africa, where there's almost no medical system structure. The three patients evacuated to the United States have all begun to recover quickly once they get good supportive care, which includes around-the-clock nursing care and good nutrition.

WHO and other groups have been warning that the situation in Liberia and Sierra Leone and Guinea is dire. It'sespecially bad in Liberia, WHO said Monday.

"Transmission of the Ebola virus in Liberia is already intense and the number of new cases is increasing exponentially," WHO said in a statement.

Congressman's office in possession of 100,000 CDC whistleblower documents?

Congressman Bill Posey's office has confirmed exclusively to Benswann.com that a "very large number" of documents have been turned over by CDC scientist, Dr. William Thompson, who has admitted that the CDC suppressed information about the links between the MMR vaccine and autism in some cases.

According to Congressman Posey's spokesman, George Cecala, "I can confirm that we have received a very large number of documents and we are going through those documents now. There are a lot of them, so it will take some time." Cecala could not say exactly how many documents are in possession of the Congressman's staff though sources tell me that as many as 100,000 documents have been handed over.

As we have reported, a statement released on August 27th by Dr. Thompson in response to media coverage is that he and co-authors from a 2004 article published in the journal Pediatrics did in fact omit important information from a study on the link between vaccines and autism. Below is an excerpt from Thompson's statement.

Early onset dementia on the rise in the U.K.: Estimates suggest more than 42,000 cases

More than twice as many cases of early dementia as was thought among those aged between 30 and 65
More than twice as many people in the UK have dementia before the age of 65 than was previously thought, new figures show.

A report due to be published this week says that 42,000 people are now estimated to be suffering early onset dementia, including thousands of cases among those in their 40s, and more than 700 cases among those in their 30s.

The new statistics also show the condition is slightly more common among men than women.

Experts said doctors too often missed symptoms of dementia in younger people, assuming they were too young to be suffering from the condition. They said services and society needed to do more to help those coming to terms with a diagnosis of dementia.

Thousands of new Ebola cases are expected this month in Liberia, where the deadly disease is spreading exponentially and has already killed over 1,000 people, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

"Transmission of the Ebola virus in Liberia is already intense and the number of new cases is increasing exponentially," the WHO said in a statement on Monday."Many thousands of new cases are expected in Liberia over the coming 3 weeks."

The United Nations agency said that conventional methods to control the outbreak of the virus "are not having an adequate impact in Liberia."

Out of all the nations hit by the disease, the West African country has the highest number of reported Ebola cases and deaths.

"The case-fatality rate, at 58 percent, is also among the highest," the WHO said. As of September 8, over 1,000 people have died out of nearly 2,000 cases.

Sierra Leone to impose three-day quarantine in effort to contain Ebola outbreak

As African governments struggle to contain the ongoing Ebola outbreak, Sierra Leone has announced it will enforce a three-day quarantine across the country to "deal with Ebola once and for all" as one government official put it.

Ibrahim Ben Kargbo, a presidential adviser on the country's Ebola task force, told The Guardian that the planned quarantine, between Sept. 19 and Sept. 21, will allow health workers to isolate new cases of the disease and keep it from spreading.

During those three days, 7,000 teams of health workers will go door to door to find people who are suffering from the disease but have not reported it to authorities. Spokesman for the Sierra Leone government, Abdulai Bayraytay, said the quarantine will be enforced by the military and police.

"It's clear that we have pockets of resistance, in terms of denial," Bayraytay told The New York Times. "People are still harboring loved ones at home."

He added that neighbors are calling local authorities and giving away information about people rumored to have contracted the disease.

"That gave us the clear indication that people are still harboring patients," he said.

But some health organizations, like Doctors Without Borders, say that enforced quarantines and lockdowns will only drive those reluctant to report illnesses even deeper into hiding. Quarantines, some argue, are too punitive in nature and don't work in encouraging people to seek help.

"It has been our experience that lockdowns and quarantines do not help control Ebola, as they end up driving people underground and jeopardizing the trust between people and health providers," Doctors Without Borders said in a statement over the weekend.

Why the high rates of porn addiction in the christian community?

For the faithful, porn addiction isn't about how much porn is watched - it's about how guilty they feel when they do it.

Standing out boldly against a bright yellow background, the tall red capital letters hover above the highway shouting their promise of sexual stimulation to oncoming motorists: ADULT VIDEO! But as turned-on drivers downshift toward the X-rated invite, they can't avoid seeing another sign. On it, the familiar face of a bearded, long haired man looks down with gentle, disapproving eyes. Alongside the portrait, another set of capital letters warns that "Jesus Is Watching You."

Catholic leaders in San Juan County, New Mexico installed that billboard as a shame-inducing admonition to porn shop patrons - you may be able to hide your "sinful" behavior from other people, but not from God!

Comment: Additional information about porn addiction, watch the 6 part series in the link below
This presentation is not an argument against pornography. It was created for anyone who has a porn addiction, or wants to understand pornography addiction.

Science teacher Gary Wilson explains the evolutionary forces behind porn's appeal, how the brain changes in response to super-normal stimulation, what makes today's porn different from static porn of the past, and what you need to know to regain your sense of direction if you're hooked on porn.
