Think about it, your ancestors survived where others died, or you would not be reading this? T.B. Typhoid,Influenza,Poxes of many kinds, Syph,Gonno,Mumps,Cholera,and on and on, you have tough ancestors, they lived through the Bubonic plague,War,Famine, Drought,Crime and Toxic Environments like the streets of the world 500 years ago that were open sewers, they lived to breed and you are here ? Stay fit and do not eat processed food, if it comes in a card board box, don't eat it, if man made it, don't eat it ! If you are reading this, you had 2 parents, yes ? So each of your parents had 2 parents, Yes? So you have 4 biological Grandparents who also had 2 Grandparents each, Yes ? So you have 4 Grand Parents,,8 Great grandparents,16 Great great grandparents, 32 Great great grandparents,64 Great great great grand parents, 128 Great x 4 grandparents,256 Great x 8 grandparents. So in 7 generations, you have 506 biological Grandparents handing you their natural born disease resistance by blood, it is in your DNA. You are TOUGH! In the 8th generation you have 512 Great Grand parents and then..... 9th Generation = 1024 GrandParents. 10. Gen = 2048 Gp's. 11th. Gen = 4096 Gp's. 12th. Gen = 8,192 Gp's. 13th. Gen = 16,384 Gp's. 14th. Gen = 32,768 Grand Parents who are your Ancestors who SURVIVED to Breeding age !!!!! 15th. Gen = 65,536 Grand Parents ! 16th. Generation = 131,072 G.Ps. 17th. Generation = 262,144 Grand Parents who threw you a bit of survivor Gene code ? 18th Generation and number of your Ancestral Grand Parents Required to get you here, today reading this,IS 524,288 Biological Grandparents,All packing Immunities in their Blood to diseases,War,Drought and B.S. in General! I'm almost done,bear with me.... 19th Generation you have 1,048,376 Biological Great Grand Parents and in the 20th Generation of your Ancestry you must have 2,096,442 Biological Grandparent survivors that added some part of there DNA/Survivor Gene to you make the creature that is YOU. If we call 1 Generation 70 years, a generous life span when applied to a Historical speculation such as this,then 10 generations would be 70 x 10 = 700 years, so 20 Generations would be 1400 years,not even back to the time of Christ ! Eat well,be strong,Eat Real food,Potatoes do not come in a box !!!!!! |

MuslimAmerican  User ID: 26542172 United States02/22/2013 04:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — The feds are descending on downtown Los Angeles to combat what they say might be a dangerous outbreak of a drug-resistant strain of tuberculosis. Quoting: Pure of Heart Jeff Nguyen, reporting for CBS2 and KCAL9, went downtown in search of people who may have been exposed. John Williams started living at the Weingart shelter on LA’s Skid Row two weeks ago. Before he could be admitted he had to undergo a screening for tuberculosis. Full story: [link to losangeles.cbslocal.com] Just add that to the list of airborne STD's and homosexuality already plaguing LA. Feed the hungry, visit the sick, free a captive if he be unjustly confined(kidnapped/enslaved by someone).

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 22585439 United States02/22/2013 04:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | A lot of them are probably smokers...smoker's are much much less likely to get TB... Quoting: Saddletramp Look it up, why do you think the Govt promoted smoking for so long in the 30's, 40's and 50's, it was to combat TB... what a load of shit. Im a smoker so i which this was true but it isn't. -smoking damages the lungs and can make smokers more susceptible to TB infection; -smoking harms the body's immune system, meaning smokers are less able to combat TB infection; and -smoking reduces the effectiveness of TB treatment which can lead to longer periods of infection and/or more severe forms of the disease. -If cigarette smokers breathe in TB bacteria, they may be up to three times more likely to develop latent TB infection than non-smokers. The risk of infection also increases the more you smoke and the longer you have been smoking. Ya know, I am old enough and have heard all of these Government and Health Org claims on smoking. When I was reading years ago about the chemtrailing and its effects and affects on the earth and its people I thought about the HUGE effort put out by the Government and liberals, etc....shunning smoking and making anti smoking laws. I started thinking...why woulda Government give two cents about the population of smokers if indeed they were trying to initiate population control. If smoking were as bad as they stated, then let them smoke and be done with it. But that is not the scenario. We have been fed false information about smoking and its affects. What they are dropping on us 24/7 and what they intend to unleash in the public needs to be done on clean clear lungs. Not lungs irritated by mucus that is coughed and expelled. They want clear lungs so when peole breath deep, these chemicals and infections can enter the blood and tissue effectively. Just a thought |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 1667343 United States02/22/2013 04:56 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I put my green pin on it. Quoting: vind21 14 February 2013 - Geneva - The participants in a workshop convened last week by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Stop TB Partnership have proposed a set of goals and targets to guide the global fight against TB after 2015. Thirty-one experts who included representatives from TB high burden countries, development and technical agencies and research and development entities; advocates from civil society; epidemiologists; and experts on modeling participated in the meeting. The group shared, above all, the aspirational goal of zero TB deaths, zero TB disease and zero suffering. There was broad agreement on a set of interim targets for 2025 designed to accelerate progress towards this goal. The first is to reduce TB deaths by 75% by 2025 compared with 2015, which would mean a decrease from a projected 1.2 million TB deaths in 2015 to 300 000 in 2025. The second, closely related, interim target is to reduce the TB incidence rate (the number of people who develop TB each year, per 100 000 population) by 40% by 2025 compared with 2015. The meeting participants also discussed a third 2025 target linked to universal health coverage, which may feature prominently in the broader post-2015 development agenda. There was consensus on a target of zero catastrophic expenditures for families affected by TB by 2025. Achieving the proposed interim targets will require a dramatic scale up of TB diagnosis and treatment, especially in vulnerable and poor populations; further advances on universal health coverage and economic development and poverty reduction; substantial investment in research and development to accelerate the availability of new TB tools; and widespread uptake of these new tools as they become available. Besides this I find it odd they jsut recently listed TB ad being in high potential for a break out and then one happens a few days later.  HOW DOES A BREAKOUT HAPPEN IN THE EPICENTER OF A VAST CITY, it doesn't just spontaneously generate in the middle of the hood, and its not like these people whoa re effected where traveling around to get it. EXACTLY... Who/How did the HOMELESS dude get it in the first place? |
| Anonymous Coward User ID: 34956621 United States02/22/2013 04:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Tuberculosis is caused by bacteria that spread from person to person through microscopic droplets released into the air. This can happen when someone with the untreated, active form of tuberculosis coughs, speaks, sneezes, spits, laughs or sings. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 34956621 Although tuberculosis is contagious, it's not easy to catch. You're much more likely to get tuberculosis from someone you live with or work with than from a stranger. Most people with active TB who've had appropriate drug treatment for at least two weeks are no longer contagious. [link to www.mayoclinic.com] Drug-resistant TB Another reason tuberculosis remains a major killer is the increase in drug-resistant strains of the bacterium. Since the first antibiotics were used to fight tuberculosis 60 years ago, some TB germs have developed the ability to survive, and that ability gets passed on to their descendants. That's a good thing assuming that we're dealing with regular TB and not a lab-created monster hybrid that makes it more contagious. Well according to this story...

Quoting: vind21 I thought that was weird, too. This is happening on Skid Row. If it's not a natural outbreak, then it's like they're trying to weed out the "undesirables" or something. A previous poster suggested the body found in the water tank at Cecil Hotel, the people who drank the water. If so was it intentional to cause an outbreak? It's definitely worth thinking about, considering the types of people who usually frequented that hotel. They are still people for God's sake !!! |

Here is the $1,000,000 tip. KC 287 antibiotic, administered via nebulizer, ultrasonic humidifier or atomizer. KC 287 is a blend of peppermint oil, and 20 ppm ionized silver in an aqueous base. Studies showed it can knock out all TB in 4 weeks with little to no side effects. Thats it, you can sleep easy following that advice. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 24909641 Australia02/22/2013 05:05 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When there is a concern that a patient may not take all the medication as directed, a health care provider may need to watch the person take the prescribed drugs. This approach is called directly observed therapy. In this case, drugs may be given 2 or 3 times per week, as prescribed by a doctor. Quoting: Pure of Heart You may need to stay at home or be admitted to a hospital for 2 - 4 weeks to avoid spreading the disease to others until you are no longer contagious. Your doctor or nurse is required by law to report your TB illness to the local health department. Your health care team will be sure that you receive the best care. Source: [link to www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov] Basically, if you do not take our drugs, we will MAKE YOU take our drugs. Well now with Obama care and the drug resistance of the strain thy will probably quarantine you. |
