Ebola Virus


 CNN Video -  InfraRed Thermal Imaging Camera can detect fever.

It is vital that an infected person is isolated as soon as possible to prevent the spread of this deadly disease.
Ebola can only definitively be diagnosed by 5 different laboratory tests and it is for this reason that the infrared thermal imaging can play such a positive role. Screening can be done en masse with an alarm indicating when a person has a fever. The person can then immediately be taken to one side for further checks.

The Ebola virus (named after the Ebola River in the Congo) is causing widespread fear. Humans contact Ebola from contact with the bodily fluids of infected animals or the body fluids from infected humans. It is not an airborne virus. The WHO (World Health Organization) states that there are 5 strains (all named after the regions they originated in), but the Ebola strain is thought to be the most deadly.

Medicins San Frontieres (MSF) believes that although the virus can survive for a few days outside the body in a liquid form, it can be killed with chlorine disinfection, heat, direct sunlight, soaps and detergents. 

First symptoms will appear 21 days after infection and will show as a sudden fever, with muscle pains and weakness,
headaches and a sore throat. These symptoms them progress to vomiting, diarrhoea, liver and kidney dysfunction.
There may also be a rash, internal or external bleeding.

There is currently no know cure nor vaccine. Treatment would consist of isolating the patient, hydration, oxygenation, while maintaining a close watch on their blood pressure and the onset of secondary infections.



pH Control

 BICARB in the control of pH



The pH level of our internal fluids affects every cell in our body. Chronic over-acidity corrodes body tissue, and if left unchecked will interrupt all cellular activities and functions. In other words, over-acidity interferes with life itself. It is at the root of cancer.
 



The pH of our tissues and body fluids is crucial and central because it affects and mirrors the state of our health or our inner cleanliness. The closer the pH is to 7.35-7.45, the higher our level of health and wellbeing.

When the body can no longer effectively neutralize and eliminate the acids, it relocates them within the body’s extra-cellular fluids and connective tissue cells directly compromising cellular integrity.


Cancer thrives in an acidic, anaerobic (oxygen free) environment

Hydrogen ions tie up oxygen. That means that the more acid a liquid is, the less available the oxygen in it. Every cell in our body requires oxygen for life and to maintain optimum health. Combine that with what we know about hydrogen ions and we see that the more acid the blood (the lower its pH), the less oxygen is available for use by the cells. This can be likened to acid rain which “kills” a lake. The fish literally suffocate to death because the acid in the lake “binds up” all of the available oxygen. It’s not that the oxygen has gone anywhere; it’s just no longer available. Conversely, if you raise the pH of the lake (make it more alkaline), oxygen is now available and the lake comes back to life. Incidentally, it’s worth noting that cancer is related to an acid environment (lack of oxygen)—the higher the pH (the more oxygen present in the cells of the body), the harder it is for cancer to thrive. The most famous mountain waters in the world, waters renowned for their healing properties, like the waters coming down from the Himalayas are highly alkaline.


The typical Western diet, high in meat, grains, sodas, and sugars acidifies the body,  


Dr. Robert J. Gillies and his colleagues have already demonstrated that pre-treatment of mice with baking soda results in the alkalinization of the area around tumors. The same researchers reported that bicarbonate increases tumor pH and also inhibits spontaneous metastases in mice with breast cancer.[1] It also reduces the rate of lymph node involvement.

When taken orally with water, especially water with high magnesium content, and when used transdermally in baths, sodium bicarbonate becomes a first-line medicinal for the treatment of cancer, kidney disease, diabetes, influenza and even the common cold. It is also a powerful buffer against radiation exposure, so everyone should be up to speed on its use.



I take ¼ tsp of Epsom Salts (magnesium) + ¼ tsp of Bicarb + 2 Tbsp Raw unfiltered apple cider vinegar (potassium) in a glass of filtered water daily. You can also add Epsom Salts + Bicarb to your bath water. It can also be used with your toothpaste for whitening teeth. Bicarbonate of soda also has 101 uses around the house.

MSG


One more good reason to avoid processed dairy: it shockingly contains hidden MSG

 

The risks of flavour enhancing food additive MSG (monosodium glutamate) are well known. MSG should be avoided, considering the fact that it is a dangerous excitotoxin that kills brain cells in the hypothalamus, promotes obesity and liver disease, and is linked to seizures, migraines, ADD/ADHD and heart palpitations. Unfortunately, MSG is hidden in many foods and products, which makes it difficult to avoid even for informed buyers. MSG is difficult to locate on ingredient labels because it goes by names other than "monosodium glutamate." Worse still, it is shockingly hidden in foods you would never expect, such as dairy products.

Hidden MSG in dairy products
Unfortunately, the pasteurization process used in conventional dairy products actually creates free glutamic acid (MSG). The heat of pasteurization breaks down milk protein which results in the creation of free glutamic acid. This creation of MSG can occur from anything that breaks down protein in a food or product. This effect in exacerbated in "ultra-pasteurized" products due to even higher temperatures. And as you might expect, you'll see no mention of MSG or free glutamic acid on the ingredient label. Any of the these dairy products may contain MSG: fat-free milk, powdered milk, "ultra-pasteurized" anything, cottage cheese, reduced fat milk, cream or half and half, ice cream, cream cheese and yogurt. In other words, almost all conventional dairy products are suspect. And if you think you're safe as long as you buy organic dairy, think again; even organic may contain MSG.

Foods and consumer products that potentially contain hidden MSG

In addition to being hidden in conventional pasteurized dairy, MSG is unfortunately and shockingly hidden in tons of products one would never expect. Some products and food containing hidden MSG are:

processed foods
dietary supplements
cosmetics
personal care products
pharmaceuticals
pet and animal food and feed
conventional produce wax
pesticides and herbicides
fertilizers and plant growth enhancers
soaps, shampoo, hair conditioners
cosmetics
protein powders, shakes, drinks and bars
restaurant food (even when claimed to be MSG-free)
beverages
candy
chewing gum
infant formulas, foods
kosher food

MSG by any other name
MSG is found in may food ingredient additives. You can scan you favorite foods for these to find out if you're unwittingly and unknowingly eating MSG. These are hidden sources of MSG which lurk in dozens of food products:

autolyzed yeast extract
hydrolyzed corn gluten
hydrolyzed pea protein
textured protein
autolyzed plant protein
yeast extract
calcium caseinate
sodium caseinate
protein fortified anything
enzyme modified anything
gelatin
disodium inosinate
disodium guanylate
xanthum gum
natural flavor
barley malt
malt extract
maltodextrin
carrageenan
soy protein isolate
soy protein concentrate
whey protein isolate
whey protein concentrate
protease enzymes
citric acid.

As you can see, MSG shockingly hides almost everywhere and in everything. However, it is better to be informed about this dangerous neurotoxin than not be so that you can reduce your exposure and intake of it.
