ZIKA is now a recognized epidemic involving multiples countries, continents and Island nations, and already qualifies for pandemic status.

So far, many local, regional, national, and international Public Health agencies have made public pronouncements, gathered scattered details about monkey viral infections, mosquitos vectors transmission, and lately, person to person transmission. Proclamation about vaccine preparation, research, and programs for long-term treatments have been uttered. These proclamations are essentially nebulous, vague, and politically and financially motivated.

Public information has been disseminated about complications particularly involving pregnancy and consequential birth defects, and / or fetus defects, including short delays in growth and development, and fetus demise. This aspect has been important and very valuable public health information.

However, no agency or organization has publically addressed the primary and secondary stage medical aspects and treatments, mainly because the public health organizations are mostly administrative, academic and politically oriented. As such, they have no real practical experience or knowledge on which to base an opinion and have not made publically any effective, safe, and reasonable recommendations.

There is previously published information for primary and secondary stage care available on internet at http://www.americanmedicaldetective.com

Except for this internet public message, No One pronounced, publically, person-to-person contagion, sexual transmission as a sexually transmitted

.Please note; there is more to these problems than it first appears.

One aspect is that Lead /Arsenic Poisoning is a huge Public Health problem nationwide.

Lead is accumulative. Chronic exposure will result in decreased learning ability, and illness, and retarded developmental capacity in children and juveniles.

Hence, a decrease in learning capacity, and juvenile delinquency increase, with lower school scores and higher crime rates.

Public water supplies are affected nationwide. Public Health officials have been lax in their publification and responsibilities.

No wonder the USA has fallen to # 30 in word ratings!

There is a major socio-economic solution. For more information go to :

Two ways to die!

Lead bullets or shrapnel and ingested or inhaled Lead toxicity. Also, chronic physical contact to a lead containing product (paints and pipes).

Two of the common low-level chronic poisonings are real major Public Health matters of major concern, namely lead and arsenic, which are both accumulative as a poison.

The two major bulwarks to prevent or limit exposure has been selective Public Health neglect and political neglect. The label for these public official .and political culprits is defined as malfeasance, with possible criminal changes. In every state in the USA, the Public Health officials regularly submit a water toxicity report, e. g., specifically for lead and arsenic levels for all licensed water departments. So, why no alarm? Citizen evaluation, public warnings or reports, neither responsive reaction nor correction have been forthcoming against the establishment.

The answer is simple: job security and adverse citizen protest.

However, if the public water supply is visually unfit, or unsavory, or odiferous, or episodes of health matters leading to an investigation, there will be a public outcry.

So what is new?

Flint isn’t new. The attention to Flint is new and revealing and Public Health and pertinent officials, and appointed or elected officials are absolutely at fault. There also may be corruption involved.

There is absolute need for National Public Health officials, and the Surgeon Generals Office to survey all 50 states and the USA territorial states to summit their last five annual required reports to a Central National Agency highlighting levels of Arsenic, Mercury , Lead and other toxic chemicals.

These toxicity and unhealthy water problems are wider than it appears to be. “Flint” is a wakeup call.

This problem will impact more Americans directly than any ISIS attack event or series of events. Go figure! Hundreds of thousands of victims nationwide, versus maybe hundreds in USA by ISIS.

See for review, recent public newspaper articles in a metroplex area with a hundred years of experience in this instant issue matter of toxic public water supply.

One immediate Public Health effort is to test all users of Flint water for lead levels and arsenic. All positives to be immediately placed on Medicaid, instantly, to provide medical care for all victims.

Next, provide reasonable grants to all Michigan Medical Schools for fast-track medical research for care of lead poisoning victims.

T. O.! (Tell others!)

Zika, Dengue, Yellow Fever & Syphilis Cause & Care

2/17/2016

48 Comments

Zika is a long known viral infectious disease indigenous in man-like, creatures, namely monkeys, abiding in Africa. Monkeys do not travel, man does. Man (humans) that become infected carry the disease far and wide, thereby creating new areas of indigency, and can create epidemics wherever mosquitoes exist, to become vectors.

Monkeys in indigenous areas have adapted and developed levels of immunity for survival, but become carriers, which results in prolonging the disease entity.

As with all creature and forms of life, the proposition of “survival of the fittest” prevails.

Humans will adapt, develop immunity and mostly survive, although there will be the aspects of fetal defects, that may occur in pregnant females that become infected. Mosquitoes wherever they exist, are the main vectors or transfer agents. Mosquitoes suck blood with non-specific selectivity and thereby transfer the disease to other creatures and humankind as well.

These vectors historically have started other epidemics of huge proportions and consequences, such as Yellow Fever, Malaria, and Dengue Fever.

Once infected, humans become carriers. The virus colonizes in blood, lymphatic, brain, cerebrospinal fluid, and various organs, such as salivary glands, prostate, seminal glands and other depot organs and structures.

Humans can become a vector or transmitter agent when they become carriers. They can spread the disease by transfusions, sexual exposures, via mosquitoes or by incidental exposure such as via reused syringes and needles, condoms, and other vehicles.

Zika is similar to Dengue Fever Virus, as noted macroscopically. The visual appearance compares to other known diseases, similar in appearance but different in antigenicity, and other aspects.

There are Public Heath similarities as to both Zika and Syphilis epidemics and pandemics. Syphilis was endemic in South American mammals (Llamas) and spread to humans by sexual exposure and possibly by other vectors.

T he native humans lived with the disease for centuries. When the European explorers and conquistadors arrived, they quickly contracted the disease, and those that survived and returned to Europe, promptly created a pandemic of huge consequences.

The death rate in Europe was huge. However, more likely than not, the death rate was related to the palliative medications prescribed, consisting of heavy metals such as Mercurials.

There has never been a spirochetocidal cure. There is no evidence of immunity to Syphilis. There are reasonable medication treatments for control of progression of this disease.

However, the human body has other natural defenses, such as localization by granuloma formation which essentially corals the spirochetes in tissues, including the brain. Antibody development may occur, but is not curative.

So, what is the cure for Zika?

That remains to be seen. There are many ways to control this disease well ensconced in Public Health measures and with International Agencies working together with regional and local organizations. However, there is a need for immediate treatment, to be followed by mass protective measures, such as a vaccine to be manufactured and made available. Such vaccine treatment is expensive in time and financial aspects and cooperative efforts.

In the meantime, there are safe, good, valuable, effective and available treatments for immediate impact. They worked exceedingly well in Vietnam in 1966-1967, once the diagnosis of Dengue Fever was ascertained and epidemic aspects determined by sheer numbers, by a Flight Surgeon-Dermatologist-Syphillologist and an Internal Medical Infectious Disease Physician, Chief of Internal Medicine at Cam Ranh Bay U.S.A.F Hospital, Vietnam.

There being no specific anti-viral treatment at that time or place, supportive treatments and measures were in good order. The approach was simplified. This consisted of immediate notice and supportive education to responsible Military Chain of Command, medical personal locally and via chain of command to all medical personal in the S.E Asia theater.

Logistic support included adequate supplies of medication, sufficient for the projected case load in the combat and adjacent areas, plus the entire theater, and military and civilian and merchant marine contract ”assets”.

The Public Health measures required inclusion of theater personal as well as all personal rotating back to USA or other assignments, both mosquito indemic and non-mosquito habitats.

The available medication for immediate treatment consisted of a broad Spectrum, reliable, safe Macrolide antibiotic that was relatively new. That injectable product was Lincomycin-HCL*, 300 mg/cc, provided in multi-dose vials that did not require refrigeration.

The second medication, also reliably safe for IM injection, was repository injectable Methyl-Prednisolone, (Depo-Medrol)* (40 mg/cc) in multi-dose vials, refrigeration not required. This medication remains today as an excellent repository anti-inflammatory medication.

The initial and continued rationale was to “Clean House” of any minor or occult infection; prophylactically prevent any opportunistic new infection from interfering with the presumed immunity system to develop antibodies for the Dengue Fever Virus, (Divide & Conquer Philosophy); allowing the immune system to concentrate on the Dengue Fever.

The target was any minor or occult infection such as sinusitis (nasopharyngeal), dental focal abscesses, common-place acneiform infections of face, scalp, and full body, minor genito–urinary infection, follicular micro- abscess infection, micro joint infection, etc.

This empiric treatment was by single IM dose injection of Lincomycin HCL, 450 mg (1.5 cc).

The second medication (Methyl-Prednisolone) was to treat the inflammatory aspect of the disease process, both internally and cutaneously.

The manifestations included edema, erythema multiforme rashes, pruritus, cephalalgia, arthralgia, vertigo, nasopharyngeal signs and symptoms, malaise and fever, and internal tissue inflammation, presumed but not specifically identified.

Note: Laboratory testing typically not available in combat areas.

The above approach worked, and worked well and immediately. There were no reported nor identified adverse reactions or delayed side effects of any kind. The average patient was declared “fit for duty “after one week. An occasional patient required a second dose of each medication after one week. None required further treatments. Thousands of troops were involved.

Lessons learned;

Rapid diagnosis, rapid treatment, rapid Public Heath reaction and logistical support resulting in rapid care and containment.

Because of the similarity of Zika and Dengue Fever, there may be sufficient rationale to initiate the same immediate treatment as was successful in Vietnam, for Zika infections

Snew, there is snew on your collar! (What is snew?); What’s new with you?
In the early days of America, points of information and sites for getting information in villages and towns developed a convenient posting point. As villages and communities grew, socio-economics led to development of official notices for dissemination, tabloids developed, which further became packages of paper notices, which became Papers.

These packages of papers became publications.

These publications developed separate locations, and there was a specific sites in most communities to receive public information for dissemination. Territories for central distribution and receipt of new information were formed.

These central sites sought new communications from all parts of their territory, and extending outward in all direction, namely N.E.W.S.

As time progressed and the paper publication grew, these packages of papers became NEWSPAPERS.

The word called NEWS, is an acronym. There are other acronyms with the same four letters.

News, as an acronymic word is used worldwide, and is the most used acronym using these four letters.

Suffix,-ian; meaning from. Lesbian, from Lesbos.

Lesbos has become and still is, the current and shortest major intermediate migrants route from the Middle East to Europe.

There were many different conquests and rulers of Lesbos over the past 3,500 years, including the Roman Empire, alternating with Greek/Athenian control.

At one or more times, Lesbos was conquered and all viable males were killed, captured, or abandoned as completely disabled. Young males were conscripted.

Lesbos was abandoned, living only females, children, and aged or disabled males.

Consequently the population was unable to recover for years. The remaining surviving, females developed homosexual partnerships for multiple socio-economic reasons.

As a result, female homosexual partners became known as lesbians.

Worldwide, female partnerships has been likened to women from Lesbos.

Formaldehyde and Trichloroacetic Acid

It’s there, but, it is not!

Metabolically speaking, formaldehyde and trichloroacetic acid (TCA) do not exist per se, and/or persist standing along. They must be attached to another chemical.

Formaldehyde easily attaches to water (H20) to produce formalin, its simplest form. It also attaches to many other complex chemicals to form resins and other products and it is used extensively in manufacturing many products such as fibers, carpets, wood products, fabrics, adhesives, and myriads of other products in everyday use.
The simplest form is formalin used as a fixative and preservative.

Trychloroacetic acid can be maintained in high concentration in water. TCA can be highly destructive in high concentration in contact with tissue.

TCA can be used medically when reduced to 50 % concentration, in distilled water. At level 50 % or lower there are safe and effective medical and surgical uses with no known toxicity.

TCA is a major interactive agent in the Krebs Cycle, the major chemical metabolic cycle necessary to sustain animals (and human) life.

Therefore, you can not be allergic to it. Medical science, sooner or later, will learn to better control human metabolism when the total impact and availability is better understood. More research is needed.

Caduceus; ONE SNAKE OR TWO?

Caduceus; ONE SNAKE OR TWO?

The oldest profession in the world often has been attributed to prostitution (not necessarily sexual).

The symbol of the prostitute used the winged caduceus staff with one snake.

The second oldest enduring profession has been, primarily in North America, considered to be a symbol of the “witch doctor”. This profession has progressed to be one of the greatest humanitarian and scientific escalations, now labeled as “Medical Doctor”.

The medical doctor is one of the three highest and enduring educational levels, and is part of the triad of the Learned professional educational degrees: Medicine, Law, and Theology.

The medical symbol in North America is the winged caduceus with two snakes!

Comment:

A prostitute can abandon the profession but the personal history is forever. The medical doctor can prostitute the profession and down grade to the one snake level. However once the degree of MD is earned, that degree is forever.

Lawyers can be disbarred, and denied the use of the connotation, J.D.., and Theologists can be defrocked, and their degree is lost.
