West Nile Virus: Pharaoh's Curse or Media
Hype? The West Nile Virus. Is there a hotter health-related topic in the news these days? Like anthrax two years ago, it has captured the attention of the entire nation. Everyone is talking about it and many people seem to be in a state of panic over it. But should we be? West Nile was first discovered in the U.S. in New York in 1999 and has been spreading across the nation since then. It was discovered in Uganda in 1937. In severe cases it may produce encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain. What to do about it: 1) Eat lots and lots of fresh, raw garlic and take plenty of Echinacea. There is no overdose on these herbs so don't worry about taking a lot. This is good to prevent it if you've been exposed and to kill the infection if you have it. 2) Remember that all disease causing organisms are scavengers and they will not eat healthy tissue, just toxic filth and waste products, so keep up on your cleansing. This is the most important thing by far. Complete detailed step-by-step instructions for cleaning out all the parasites, parasite eggs, disease germs, old fecal matter, the gum you swallowed when you were five, and everything else that is stuck in your colon and poisoning you right now are in my book "The Foundational Cleansing and Nourishing Program." This wonderfully useful book also reveals how to clean stones, fat, cholesterol, and toxic buildup out of your liver and get your kidneys working like they did when you were 16! 3) Since it is spread by
mosquitoes, garlic, citronella, rosemary, and other strong smelling herbs make
terrific insect repellents. Don't use DEET. It's toxic. It's even been
outlawed in certain areas of South America for dissolving their
tree-canopy-sidewalks! 4) Don't forget that the media tend to blow everything out of proportion and it will do you far more harm to panic and stay inside all the time than to get out with the mosquitoes. According to the most recent statistics I could find, only 146 people have died of West Nile virus in the last 4 years -- and every one that I have read about specifically was elderly and in extremely poor health already -- making it one of the least threatening things about summer. It certainly is not the "serious public health threat" that it's been made out to be. In fact, more people die each year from chicken pox or insect stings than from West Nile, and I don't hear the press harping about them. Now, I'm not saying no one should be concerned, but if you keep your body cleansed and healthy and your immune system strong (regardless of your age), then you won't need to worry. Remember, mosquitoes don't cause disease, years of unhealthy living cause disease and mosquito bourn infections are just like any other infection, taking advantage of diseased tissues and toxins to feed on. You determine what happens to your health, not some random bug bite! So be clean (inside as well as out), be healthy, don't listen to the news, and have lots of safe fun outside this year! These recommendations also apply to all the other hot-topic infections we've been hearing about like anthrax and SARS (Sudden Acute Respiratory Syndrome). -- Chris Lewis, MH If you found the information on this site useful and would like to send a "Thank You" donation to help keep this site free, just click on my tip jar below.
