Cipro Worse than Anthrax?!?

An Aluminum Foil Deflector Beanie (AFDB) is a type of headwear that can shield your brain from most electromagnetic psychotronic mind-control carriers. AFDBs are inexpensive (even free if you don't mind scrounging for thrown-out aluminium foil) and can be constructed by anyone with at least the dexterity of a chimp (maybe bonobo). This cheap and unobtrusive form of mind-control protection offers real security to the masses. Not only do they protect against incoming signals, but they also block most forms of brain scanning and mind reading, keeping the secrets in your head truly secret. AFDBs are safe and operate automatically. All you do is make it and wear it and you're good to go! Plus, AFDBs are stylish and comfortable.

What are you waiting for? Make one today!

Quick Instructions For Building An AFDB

	1) Get a five foot sheet of aluminum foil (standard one foot wide Reynolds Wrap brand will do nicely.)
	2) Fold the sheet four times into five equal segments so that you end up with a 1x1 foot square, making sure that you fold over the dull side of the foil leaving the square shiny on both sides.
	3) Use scissors to cut from one corner of the square to the center, making a straight line.
	4) Bend the foil from one side of the cut under the other, making a slight cone. Again, make sure that the outside of the cone has a shiny side of the foil; this is VERY important.
	5) Place the cone on your head and squash the top and sides to make it fit snugly.
	6) Apply Scotch tape liberally making sure to secure the cut in the foil and any form-fitting creases made in step 5.
	7) Use more tape to secure AFDB to your cranium.

We are constantly developing new antibiotics. We are not quite as doomed as the article portrays.

[PortugeeJoe]

Yes we are - the parasites Bill & Hillary are still living large off the public coffers.

Very clever demonstration that you don't get the point at all.

"We are constantly developing new antibiotics."

I don't think so!

[Aquinasfan]

I don't know if the article addressed this, but an enormous problem has been MD's prescribing antibiotics for people with viral infections. Patients who won't leave the Doctor's office without a prescription for an antibiotic can share the blame. And don't forget patients who don't finish their antibiotic regimen.

This is a very serious situation.

[MooCollins]

Get the point?

Hell, he didn't even read the article!

Yep didn't even read it.

We have a nasty tourist derived flu season every year. High doses of Multi-vitamins, Anti-oxidants, vitamin C and garlic keep my family free of flu. First year was a bummer then vitamins ------ Worked for the last 4 years.

Building up your own immune system is the best way to protect against viruses. Natural or terrorist induced. Can't hurt, but does help. The more resistant your own immune system is when you contact someting bad, the harder it is for it to take over.

But ...... these health people have been predicting for many many many years that this is going to happen. So far???

I agree that garlic, vitam in C etc as well as a good diet are extremely helpful for the body to fight disease. Cod liver Oil/capsules is another one. Just for luck I throw in some chicken soup at the first sign of illness....don't know what is in it but it seems to help..

Actually, you are addressing a physician as not getting the point. Not cool! He does get the point. You apparently want to believe all that's fed to you. while there is much accurate information in the article--especially the efficacy of garlic and oil of oregano; the author left out the efficacy of concentrated orange peel oil--the notion that an antibiotic is worse than a killer disease is absurd. I must have missed also the warning that cipro can cause connective tissue failure, especially in early teens.

What ever happened to reading an article with a grain of skepticism? Mercy, percy!

[Aggie Mama]

This reminds me of an account that I read in a English history book regarding the Plague.....Apparently two men were caught robbing the jewelery and such off of dead plague victims. At their trial, they were asked how they managed to touch the victims without getting the plague. They stated that they rubbed garlic all over their bodies and ingested several cloves per day. Pretty amazing, but awfully stinky.

[MHGinTN]

Hey Moo, how about building a ping list and putting me on it, please? Great find, this article, but it's not entirely accurate ... as might also be said for a few of the postings on it.

[Aurelius]

My understanding of the author's meaning is: were the drug to be widely used by people at minimal risk, it could cause more problems than will actually materialize from the attacks. As long as the use is restricted to those with symptoms or with good reason to think they have been exposed, there should be no such problem.

As for it not being cool to suggest a physician doesn't get the point. Physicans are ordinary people and like ordinary people miss the point all the time, and in their professional capacity. In the US physicans go to great lengths to to project a near divine omniscience. Unfortunately, a lot of our fellow citizens buy into it. Europeans are one up on us there, with a much healthier skepticism in such matters. I have had enough experience, both as fellow student with and teacher of pre-medical students to know that they are no better endowed, on average, with grey matter than the rest of us. The minimum IQ required for admission to Harvard medical school is now, I believe, 110, i.e., less than one standard deviation above average. I certainly wouldn't want to be treated by a doctor with an IQ of 110. To avoid this I just avoid doctors alltogether, oh I let them stitch up a cut or things like that, requiring no intelligence. I've made it to 66 with that policy; had an aunt who had the same policy and made it to 108. Generally, among my relatives life-span seems to have been inversely related to the frequency with which they consulted doctors.

Yup, hospitals are where people go to die ... but there are also cures there. Genetics plays a bigger role, statistically speaking, in longevity, than environment; medicine improves the environmental odds, that's all.

Longevity runs on both sides of my family, also, and I intend to live long enough to leave a strong piss (and possibly a stinky dump) on sinkEmperor's grave.
