Good
afternoon. I'm playing catch-up from
last week.
Here’s the
news from the 8 March 2019 issue.
- in many of these newsletters we've noted that some military bases in the U.S. have poisoned the groundwater for people living on and off the base. That poisoning is clearly seen in one family around Colorado Springs, where 16 relatives have been diagnosed with cancer and 10 have died. A related news story notes that some members of Congress are asking DOD why they didn't act sooner to protect those families
- a man in Germany and now a man in London have both apparently been cured of AIDS through a stem cell transplant.
- in a rather shocking turn, turns out that many people who have already received the measles vaccination may NOT be immunized after all. Those born before 1957 are considered immune because they likely HAD measles, but those born between 1957 and the early 1970s need to consider revaccination. Evidently, doctors can also order a blood test to detect antibodies from a prior measles vaccination. A story later in the newsletter relays that measles have hit the people of Madagascar hard...80,000 sick and 1,000 deaths so far, mostly children. The Orthodox Jews in NYC are also suffering, with 133 confirmed cases.
- "What's In My Food?" this week
- "extraneous materials" in the ground beef shipped nationwide to "institutions" by a Washington state company
- beef in the Chef Boyardee "chicken and rice" ready to eat bowl...who would eat this dreck? (thanks cub report in Pulaski)
- Salmonella in the frozen breaded chicken for Canadians from coast to coast
- stop using mouthwash that contains "chlorhexidine"...it destroys friendly bacteria in your mouth that helps the entire body fight off bowel disease, Alzheimer's, arthritis, and diabetes.
- last week or the week before the news reported that militants were attacking doctors and aide workers fighting ebola in the Congo. This week, Doctors Without Borders reports they are suspending operations there because of the violence.
- Santa's reindeer in Norway are dying of rabies...geez!
