Antibiotic-Resistant Disease Killing Humans and Swine

The antibiotic-resistant bacteria Extended
Spectrum Beta Lactamase (ESBL) is killing both
people and swine in Denmark.

The bacteria has been implicated in the deaths
of a number of cancer and liver disease
patients. The number of infected patients
jumped 50 percent last year.

Health officials said the bacteria is being
transmitted to humans through pigs. The
increased use of antibiotics in agriculture may
be behind the spread of the resistant strain.

What are ESBLs?

Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBLs) are
actually enzymes produced by certain types of
bacteria, which renders the bacteria resistant
to the antibiotics commonly used to treat them.

ESBLs were first discovered in the mid-1980s. At
the time they were mostly found in the
Klebsiella species of bacteria, in hospital
intensive care units. Until recently, few people
were affected by these mutated bacteria and it
didn’t appear to be a major growing concern. (more…)

People saved from the brink of death by the one-minute cure…

Sir / Madam

I want to tell you something *startling* that you
may not know about.

Dr. Lance Moriarty, the Director of a medical
clinic in Nairobi, Kenya (where 1 out of every 8
people is infected with AIDS or HIV), reported
that “Some patients have literally been dragged
back from the brink of death” from the use of the
natural oxygenating substance revealed in “The
One-Minute Cure.”

The one-minute cure was given to 50 patients who
came to the clinic suffering from AIDS or the HIV
virus.  Thirty of them went into immediate
remission and the rest reported an increase in
energy and a sense of well-being.

This success rate is *unheard of* in the
medical and pharmaceutical world where AIDS is
still considered incurable!  Dr. Moriarty went on
to say that whenever the one-minute cure is
administered into the community, “People come back
to life. It blows my mind!” (more…)

Treatment for Old Age Arthritis

Published: Feb 20th, 2010 | Author: admin Add Comment

A considerable fraction of the people who have pains in the joints have them because of arthritis. The pains usually strike first in the outer joints like wrists, carpels, fingers on both sides or joints with a history of injury. If a patient completely lacks hand and wrist pain involvement, a diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis is doubtful. Load bearing joints are also vulnerable. In the past arthritis was associated with old age in people’s minds and there was a tendency to suffer it stoically as inevitable. It is a serious disease, though, with a much reduced life span and a 27% mortality at ten years.

Acupunture – It is based on the theory that inserting hair-fine needles along certain energy lines can help stimulate energy flow. This can therefore help in reducing pain.

Alexander technique – It involves analyzing whole body patterns, rather then a certain part of the body which contains the symptom. It is designed to help us maneuver in a better way and eliminate tension to give a greater effect during old age. (more…)

When a person grows old, the body eventually gets weaker, since it has been alive and functioning for the past, let’s say, seventy years. The body is strong enough to stand the test of time, at least for a hundred years or so. Of course, it depends on the person if he/ she maintains their health and body to last them through their golden years. But not all people endure being old. A lot of cases concerning health conditions are showing through old age. Since the body gets weaker, it is more prone to illnesses and diseases that may harm or hurt the person more, hence, they have become more vulnerable to such conditions.

A common type of arthritis that affects people over the age of 60, is osteoarthritis. Since symptoms of arthritis are mainly regarded as joint inflammation, or the feeling of pain or stiffness, this type of arthritis also has the same conditions, but is occurring mostly when of old age. Aches and swelling with weakened motion in the joints, particularly hands, hips, knees or spine are the common symptoms of arthritis, specifically osteoarthritis. According to the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (NCCDPHP), osteoarthritis is described as the deterioration of cartilage and its underlying bone within a joint; also bony overgrowth. Basically, this illness is breaking down a person’s cartilage. Since the cartilage is the tissue that is wrapped around the ends of the joint, having this joint disease will make the bones rub together, causing joint damage over time. (more…)

If you are among the millions of aging women across the country, you are dealing with daily health issues with chronic joint pain being at the top of the list. Certainly, physical activity and sports related injuries can cause stiffness and lack of mobility in your knees, ankles and toes. But your feet can also be affected by age related diseases like gout, which can target the same areas and be excruciatingly painful.
