beeches User ID: 69710263 United States 08/04/2015 05:12 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It is in the Bronx right now. in 1976 it killed many in Philadelphia, traced to one hotel. this current situation is worrisome because it is not a common illness, and it looks as though it is in 2 places at least right now. if an epidemiologist tells us it is not uncommon, I would believe it. But to me, it is rare and frightening. Liberalism is totalitarianism with a human face – Thomas Sowell |

aHEMagain^2 (OP) User ID: 69958498 United States 08/04/2015 06:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I could easily believe that the bacteria is more common than people realize because people don't become infected with it that often. I could also believe that these current outbreaks are unconnected and unconcerning. However, I'm concerned that this may be evidence of RIIDS and RIAMP at work. Radiation-Induced Immune Deficiency Syndrome (RIIDS) could be increasing the chance that people's immune system isn't protecting them from the common infections it normally would. Radiation-Induced Accelerated Mutation of Pathogens (RIAMP) could be causing mutations to the bacteria responsible for Legionnaires. These changes could be as simple as making it slightly easier to catch or as dramatic as making it communicable between people. We'll just have to keep our eye on it to see which direction things might be going. aHEMagain "And once again, Probability proves itself willing to sneak into a back alley and service Drama as would a copper piece harlot." -- Vaarsuvius, The Order of the Stick [link to tvtropes.org] "History doesn't repeat, but it does rhyme" -- Mark Twain "It is wrong always, everywhere, and for anyone, to believe anything upon insufficient evidence.-- William Clifford [link to myweb.lmu.edu] |

I also suggested taking Bentonite clay on a daily basis to remove toxins from the body. Also helps to keep the body 'cleansed' and your colon unplugged which leads to obesity. Taking Potassium Iodide daily to keep Cesium 134/137 radio active iodine OUT of your thyroid...... This Cesium Iodide ruins your immune system. "Do Your Own Research" Michael |

Whalin Rift User ID: 66613427 United States 08/07/2015 02:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hmmm, Otisville is about a half hour from me. Someting strange here to report. 2 out of my 3 cats have some sort of respiratory infection. You can hear the gurgle when they breath. I read that legionnaires started in Jersey after they sprayed for west nile. Makes me wonder if they sprayed in MI. I also wonder how and when they spray. What do they spray with? Planes? |
