SARS and civid and public health

Here's why they were so desperate to cover up the lab leak:

The 2003 SARS outbreak exposed how outdated WHO's disease rules were, since the old International Health Regulations only covered a few named diseases. In response, the World Health Assembly launched a revision…

child marriage returns, and immature moms die of childbirth

 From the UK Guardian:

When she turns eight they will take her’: rising number of Afghan girls being sold into child marriage Afghanistan is seeing a resurgence in underage brides and mothers as desperate families sell their children in order to eat

Sima says: “After the Taliban entered the country, I had just finished the sixth grade and was supposed to start the seventh. But two months later, my father pressured me immensely to marry my cousin.

,,,workers at one public hospital in northern Afghanistan revealed that 42 underage girls gave birth in the first five months of this year. Six were in their second pregnancy. Five had ectopic pregnancies – a leading cause of maternal deaths – and 18 had caesarean sections. Two died, though their babies survived.

Mothers who are still children themselves often haven’t completed their physical or psychological growth and face higher risk of severe bleeding, anaemia, miscarriage, obstructed labour and premature birth, along with a greater likelihood of a low-weight or unhealthy infant.

Shabnam says families often resist caesarean section, believing they limit future pregnancies. Two young mothers in her care recently died in childbirth because their husbands refused to permit one.

Afghan girls who have been barred from education above the sixth grade (about 12 years) since the Taliban returned to power. Many are now forced into marriage and premature motherhood. The Afghanistan Human Rights Center reports that one teacher estimated 70% of girls pushed out of school had been driven into forced marriages, while a smaller survey of 15 such girls found 66% of them were under 18.

the trouble with hormones

Instapundit has a link to the danger of brain tumors to birth control hormones. the discus discussion is quite interesting. 

 You know, what no one wants to notice: How the hormones in Birth Control pills cause behavior changes. 

The older high estrogen pills not so much but the newer high progesterone ones and the BCShot does. 

And don't get me started on the hormones they use for infertility and endometriosis, which we see in older ladies who haven't had babies in their twenties.

Yes the same medicines they use to transition kids.(and treat certain cancers). 

So we pollute out water supply with waste water estrogen, not to mention hormones given to animals, and of course phytoestrogens in plastics and Glyphosate in herbicides. So down goes the sperm count. Up goes the metabolic syndrome and obesity.

But on the other hand, the alternative is having ten kids and getting rid of plastics which make life easier and safer (No broken glass bottles). 

And mass starvation because weeds are destroying the crops.
Sigh. 

Naltrexone: A new wonder drug?

 

this sounds like the discoveries about Ivermectin and cancer and against viral diseases.

and I had complicated Dengue with neurological and hematological changes but was not given anything but fluid. 

since this is alternative medicine I couldn't find anything about Naltrexone and viral diseases like Dengue via google.

Could Ivermectin have helped? a 2020 paper suggests maybe. but it didn't change clinical outcome.

a previous ebola outbreaks were isolated and stopped using hygiene, testing of the local population, isolation of contacts, ring vaccinations.
none were mRNA.

why didn't they just quarantine the infected passengers?

quarantine has been used for hundreds of years to stop infectious diseases from jumping off ships. 

 So why didn't government quarantine these rich passengers when the Hant virus hit? 

 Why did they let them go home and now we see hysteria about a not very infectious disease that has spread (artificially) all over the world?

the history of quarantine

 LINK

The concept of ‘quarantine’ is embedded in health practices, attracting heightened interest during episodes of epidemics. The term is strictly related to plague and dates back to 1377, when the Rector of the seaport of Ragusa (then belonging to the Venetian Republic) officially issued a 30-day isolation period for ships, that became 40 days for land travellers. During the next 100 years similar laws were introduced in Italian and in French ports, and they gradually acquired other connotations with respect to their original implementation. Measures analogous to those employed against the plague have been adopted to fight against the disease termed the Great White Plague, i.e. tuberculosis, and in recent times various countries have set up official entities for the identification and control of infections. Even more recently (2003) the proposal of the constitution of a new European monitoring, regulatory and research institution has been made, since the already available system of surveillance has found an enormous challenge in the global emergency of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS). In the absence of a targeted vaccine, general preventive interventions have to be relied upon, including high healthcare surveillance and public information. Quarantine has, therefore, had a rebound of celebrity and updated evidence strongly suggests that its basic concept is still fully valid.

hanta virus hyeteria

Hanta virus hysteria.Dr. C discusses.

|Gee, maybe instead of senging passengers back to their home countries they should have put them into quarentine: Either keep them on the ship or put them on land into an area (e.g. military base) where they could be isolated.

Instead, the news is being pushed to push the WHO and Bid Pharma making vaccines, but as Dr C notes: People don't trust these organizations. And as Dr C notes: The disease is unlikely to spread. of course, given the fact that many cities are not getting rid of mice the disease could spread to local mice.

Iranian monument to a USN nurse

A Monument to an American’s Selflessness in Iran

 A Monument to an American’s Selflessness in Iran by Davar Iran Ardalan 

 Weekend Edition Saturday, June 7, 2008 · 

 Imagine finding out that a nomadic tribe has named a mountain after your grandmother. My mother and I learned just that when a relative phoned to say the storied Bakhtiari tribe had so honored my grandmother, Helen Jeffreys Bakhtiar, to commemorate her public health work there in the 1950s. 

It’s quite a legacy for a woman born in Weiser, Idaho, at the beginning of the 20th century. Located in the central Zagros Mountains of Iran, near the ancient city of Isfahan, the area around Kohe Helen or Helen’s Mountain, is home to a wide variety of species, including brown bears, leopards, wildcats and eagles. Iranian environmentalists have marked the mountain and the surrounding forests as a protected area. 

 In the 1950s, Helen was a lieutenant commander in the U.S. Navy. She traveled to Iran to serve as a public health nurse as part of President Truman’s Point Four Program. The rural improvement project sent American experts in agriculture, health and education to work in villages in less-developed countries. Traveling by jeep to remote villages, the daughter of conservative Baptists from Boise lobbied tribal elders on the need to educate women about health care. In one instance, Helen single-handedly convinced a reluctant village cleric to allow local women to attend her prenatal class. She also spent time in a village called Koshkerood, or “dry river.” 

In a 1958 interview, Helen recalled, “When we finally left the village, the people said to me, ‘You have given us hope.’ And when our engineers put a shallow well in this village so the people would have proper drinking water, they said, ‘And with water, you have given us life.’” 

 My grandmother worked primarily with the people of the Bakhtiari tribe in the mountains of southwestern Iran between the cities of Ahwaz and Isfahan. The Bakhtiari are made up of two main, loosely organized nomadic clans: the Chahar Lang and Haft Lang. One of her life’s highlights was accompanying the Bakhtiari on their biannual migration across snow-capped mountains and the icy waters of the Karun River to find pastures for their flocks of sheep and goats.…

Measles

 

Dropsy and Samuel Johnson

 when I was in medical school, the only diuretic for congestive heart failure was a mercury based injection that had limited success.

Wikipedia article notes:

Mercurial diuretics are a form of renal diuretic[1] containing mercury. Although previously widely used, they have largely been superseded by safer diuretics such as thiazides, and are now rarely used....Inorganic mercury compounds, such as mercury(I)chloride (calomel), were found to have diuretic properties when they were used to treat syphilis.[2] Proposed use of these compounds date back at least to the 16th century, shortly after the beginning of the syphilis epidemic in 1497 following Columbus' return to Europe.[3];;;needless to say, they were very toxi.,

Warkany and Hubbard noted in their seminal 1953 paper establishing mercury as the cause of infantile acrodynia that "... in modern times the capricious behavior of mercurial diuretics has been rather disturbing to those who use them frequently. Thousands of injections are given without untoward effects but occasionally a therapeutic dose results in sudden death. Only rarely is this caused by the first dose. More often the patient tolerates several—in one case 164—doses before the fatal reaction occurs.

we used them early in my medical school training once or twice, but by the time I did clinical rotations in the late sixties, they had been replaced with thiazide diruetics.

Again wikipedia Thiazides are used in the treatment of hypertension. The first approved drug of this class was chlorothiazide in 1958

Because of their weak effect on edema they are mainly used for high blood pressure nowadays, but we still used them for mild edema, but for congestive heart failure, we switched to lasix etc.

When I was in medical school up until the mid seventies, it was common for people to come into the ER in the middle of the night unable to breathe: Cardiac asthma. Usually they cheated on their low salt diet and when they laid flat, the edema switcched into their lungs.

We actually treated these cases of acute pulmonary edema with morphine, since the diuretics were slow.

giving morphine to a person short of breath doesn't make sense since it decreases your breathing ability,  so is rarely used today. But in the past, when mercury diuretics were slow, it worked: Because it cause the blood to pool into the veins so cut the burden on the heart pump and moved the fluid elsewhere.

but it did work. 

as does Digitalis (foxglove) whic has been used in medicine despite problems of dosing etc for 200 years.

the amount of digitalis in the leaf (and even in the sixties we were using the leaf in pill form) was to give it until fluid appeared: The person started to urinate their fluid, or started vomiting, or got diarrhea.

we still use it but not for congestive heart failure due to it's toxicity (digitalis overdose was once the most common cause of hospitalization and death from medications).

Well, anyway, I am old enough to remember seeing patients with acute pulmonary edema, and with dropsy: Where not only your legs but your entire body swells up with excess flue. this can be from kidney failure, or heart failure, and in modern days they will treat it with medicine and/or dialysis.

Indeed, I haven't seen a severe case for decades.

and I should note that another cure for shortness of breath/pulmonary edema was blood letting which like morphine cut the burden of fluid that the heart needed to pump so the heart could pump more efficiently.

and then there was cutting the legs to drain the excess fluid, which I never saw done but does make sense, since severe swelling of the legs was painful.

LINK Gives the various treatments in the good old days before modern medicine, which mentions cutting to remove edema:(anasarca).

in the anasarca it is usual to scarify the feet and legs. By this means the water is often discharged; but the operator must be cautious not to make the incisions too deep.

which brings us to Dr. Johnson, who frequently had asthma and swollen legs. I suspect this was congestive heart failure, and this article toward the end discusses the symptoms.

and the tretatment, including cutting the legs to relieve the painful swelling.

The dropsy increased, and Johnson kept on begging his physicians to make deeper incisions, both to relieve the pain and to prolong his life. “How many men,” he cried, “die through the timidity of those whom they consult for health! I want length of life, and you fear giving me pain, which I care not for.” On the day before his death he refused to take any more food or medicine, feeling that it was useless to resist the inevitable any longer. During the night the dropsy increased beyond endurance. A friend had left a servant with him, and Johnson forced the man to hand him a lancet. He had concealed a pair of scissors in his bed, and with the lancet and scissors made several deep incisions, which gave him the relief he craved. The poison which had tormented him throughout his life flowed away, and he slept tranquilly through the next day, December 13, waking once or twice to take some nourishment. At a quarter past seven, he turned to Sastres [a friend turned nurse], murmured, “Jam moriturus,” [Now I am about to die] and breathed out his last breath without any struggle or sign of pain
