Fafhrd User ID: 59096514 United States 09/23/2014 07:49 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | CDC has been a lot more apocalyptic in its predictions/language than WHO. That’s the thing about progress; all the word means is “continued movement in the same direction.” If the direction was a bad idea to start with, or if it’s passed the point at which it still made sense, continuing to trudge blindly onward into the gathering dark may not be the best idea in the world. Break out of that mental straitjacket, and the range of possible futures broadens out immeasurably. John Michael Greer |

The WHO and the UN have both continued to make statements about containment time frames and low ball number of cases. They continue to get these wrong, and continue to lose everyone's confidence. It's pretty fucked up. Pretty doomy. |

Somebody.... User ID: 1189609 United States 09/23/2014 04:54 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | "Disease is earned not acquired." _ Louis Pasteur Your best protection from any disease, which comes from within, as most human beings walking around today are cesspools of the worst internal filth on the planet from the rooter to the tooter (the colon to the mouth), is the seed bearing fruit and herb, organically grown of course (Genesis 1:29), and fasting. Go ahead...ask any forensic pathologist about the state of the alimentary tract after death contained in the average human being. He will tell you of the impacted feces, worms, parasites, eggs, fermentation, morbid pus and mucous, putrefaction, salts, poisonous water, etc. OUR BRAINS, AND THE REST OF OUR BODIES, WERE DESIGNED TO OPERATE ON PURE CLEAN BLOOD. THIS IS NOT HAPPENING IN THE AVERAGE SOUL YOU SEE ON THE STREET, INCLUDING YOURSELF. IF YOUR DIGESTIVE TRACT IS FILLED WITH THIS PUTRID MASS OF FILTH, YOUR BLOOD STREAM IS POLLUTED WITH THIS FILTH ALSO. This filthy reality clouds are minds (alters behavior, makes us violent, mean, depressed, etc.), creates pain, makes us susceptible to disease (i.e. Ebola, colds, flu, etc.)separates us from God (or even the belief in God), threatens our health, as what I described regarding this filth is in fact disease. The average wild animal's (undomesticated) colon is cleaner than your mouth. One of these days, I will wake some of you up. I've posted this information in the past, but most reject it, and that's too bad. If you think the industrial medical complex is interested in your well being, you are really bought in. The food channels tell you to eat whatever and however much you want to eat...we obey. "The terrain (alkalized/acidic body) is everything, the microbe is nothing." - Louis Pasteur, after admitting on his deathbed that his germ theory was all wrong. Men were designed to be fasting, praying, worshipers, but our addiction to foods, especially bad foods, precludes us from realizing our full potential in these spiritual gifts. Jesus made it clear there were going to be obstacles in our lives that will come against us that will be such strongholds that we will have to truly die to the needs of our flesh, fasting: Mark 9:29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting. Please, I beseech all to consider what I'm saying, and you won't worry about Ebola, or any disease, as a clean body is impervious to disease (God made us perfect). Read Doctor Arnold Ehret's, "Chronic Constipation' available on Amazon. I'm not getting paid to help you save your life or your health...this is nothing but Love for people. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 42095573 Sir, vaccines are biological warfare against you. Vaccines spread disease, they don't prevent disease. If vaccines really worked, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Man is not interested in saving your life.... "Let thy food be thy medicine, and thy medicine be thy food". _ Hippocrates I beseech all to go on the CDC's website and view the ingredient's list for vaccines. When did mercury become safe for the brain, or formaldehyde, for that matter? Vaccines are a toxic and metallurgical nightmare. They are used for population reduction, see Bill Gates solution to population reduction on YOUTUBE. WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 29047130 United States 09/23/2014 05:55 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here's the big question nobody wants to ask. I guess it's racist or something. Why don't the people in these infected countries help their own damned selves? You don't need a functioning health care system to not get Ebola. You just have to not be a tard and you have to practice sanitation and keep your ass away from infected people and infected dead bodies. There is no cure or treatment for ebola. The only thing 1st world countries setting up field hospitals with supplies is going to do is make these people more comfy while they die. The lack of help from the 1st world is not excuse for these tards to keep on spreading this crap and making the situation worse. I'll answer my own question. The reason Ebola is so bad in the countries with the run away outbreak is because the people who live in those countries have really low IQs and they are unable to grasp what Ebola is that it's real. There is no helping them. The sooner the world wraps it's collective thick multiculturalism pushing head around this fact the sooner this shit will be contained. |
