Your Keyboard: Dirtier Than a Toilet

U.K. Microbiologist Finds E. Coli, Staph on Computer Keyboards 32 comments By DAN CHILDS ABC News Medical Unit

How dirty is your Qwerty?

It turns out that your computer keyboard could put a host of potentially harmful bacteria — including E. coli and staph — quite literally at your fingertips.

Sure, it may sound like a hypochondriac’s excuse to stay away from the office. But a growing body of research suggests that computer mice and keyboards are, in fact, prime real estate for germs.

It’s a phenomenon most recently illustrated by tests at a typical office environment in the United Kingdom. A consumer advocacy group commissioned the tests in which British microbiologist James Francis took a swab to 33 keyboards, a toilet seat and a toilet door handle at the publication’s London office in January.

Francis then tested the swabs to see what nasty germs he managed to pick up. He found that four of the keyboards tested were potential health hazards — and one had levels of germs five times higher than that found on the toilet seat.

Mobiles have more germs than toilets

LONDON: Mobile phones are writhing bug factories that can harbour 18 times more bacteria than a flush handle in a men’s toilet, a new study shows.

With iPhone 4 fever about to hit Melbourne, a researcher who swabbed 30 mobiles found at least seven had unacceptably high levels of bacteria.

The results point to potentially poor hygiene among millions of mobile phone users that could result in stomach upsets, or worse.

“The levels of potentially harmful bacteria on one mobile were off the scale,” said UK hygiene expert Jim Francis.

“That phone needs sterilising.”

The microscopic nasties ranged from enterobacteria, a group of bacteria that includes bugs such as salmonella, to food poisoning bugs e.coli and staphylococcus aureus.

Even if a phone owner is scrupulously clean, beating the bacteria may not be so simple.

Handing your phone to others so they can view holiday snaps or marvel at a cool new iPhone app is an invitation for bugs to get on board.

Researcher Ceri Stanaway said most phones in the study didn’t have any bacteria that would make users sick straight away, but they were grubbier than they need be.

“The bugs can end up on your hands, which is a breeding ground and be passed back to your phone,” she said.

“They can be transferred back and forth and eventually you could catch something nasty.”

Researchers said the study showed how easy it was to come into contact with bacteria.

“People see toilet flushes as being something dirty to touch but they have less bacteria than phones,” Ms Stanaway said.

IBC – Inflammatory Breast Cancer

Normally doctors teach women to check for lumps in their breasts for detecting breast cancer but there is a type of breast cancer which most women have never heard of, and it rarely shows up on mammograms.

It’s called Inflammatory Breast Cancer or IBC, where the cancer cells invade the lymph vessels right beneath the skin. There’s no lump to feel or show up on a scan, just a change in the breast that so often can be ignored.

First signs might include skin turning red like a rash. The color intensivies more red as the days go by. Then in the area around the nipple it started to fade and turned almost a green and yellow color. The nipple can became inverted. And is accompanied by the breast eventually getting hot to the touch and starts itching. It also feels heavy. All of these can be signs of IBC. 

The danger is it can be mistaken for a breast infection and treated with rounds of antibiotics, wasting precious time.

It is different than your average breast cancer because it grows so rapidly and spreads so quickly that a time lapse of two or three months can be the difference between stage 3 and 4 disease, which means curable vs. incurable. 

Treatment might include radiation, chemotherapy, a mastectomy and removal of the lymph nodes under the armpit if the cancer had spread.

How To Detoxify Your Liver

Ideas on how to detoxify your liver have become more well-known and increasingly popular over the last 20 years.

  • Are you feeling tired, irritable or bloated?
  • Is your hair falling out or having allergy symptoms?
  • Is your skin dry, fingernails cracked and breaking?
  • Do you have PMS? Constipation? Obesity? Thyroid issues? Irregular bowel movements?

Any or all of these symtoms may be due to a toxic, run-down liver.

People are realizing that the liver is a filter for the body and needs to be purged of toxins to stay healthy and function optimally.

The liver is the largest and most complex organ in the body and it cleans and filters our blood 24 hours a day.

A stressed, toxic liver can lead to many health problems, also including weight issues and cardiovascular & degenerative diseases.

  • If you are under a doctor’s care or taking prescription medication, always seek your doctor’s advise before doing a liver cleanse.
  • Other precautions are for diabetics or people who often get yeast or fungal infections.
  • This website is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease. It is to educate and provide information for wellness.
  • Toxins can accumulate in the liver

These include:

  • toxic chemicals, household cleaners
  • environmental toxins (air pollution, chlorinated water, cigarette smoke)
  • poor diet (high fat, sodium, cholesterol)
  • synthetic vitamins, additives and preservatives
  • excessive alcohol consumption
  • prescription drugs / over-the-counter medications
  • foods with growth hormones, anti-biotics, pesticide residue
  • viral hepatitus

 
A liver cleanse is also called a Liver Flush or a Liver Detox.

Side effects 

from a liver cleanse can be: having more energy, a rash breakout or pimples from purging toxins, but also an overall healthy feeling. from many sources that we are in contact with everyday.

How to detoxify your liver: Daily Detox

Drink a glass of warm water with lemon juice every morning.

How to detoxify your liver: Weekend Detox

Start Friday evening by eating a light dinner and drinking pure juices and extra water.

Saturday morning

drink a large glass of fresh carrot juice.
Throughout the day drink a variety of juices and a lot of water:

  • lime juice mixture (10% lime, 90% water)
  • grapefruit juice
  • apple juice
  • cranberry juice
  • spinach juice
  • beet juice
  • coconut water (juice)

Sunday

  • Slowly incorporate solid foods like beets, cauliflower, celery, cucumber, melons, papaya.
  • Vegetables should be either raw or lightly steamed, plain (no salt, etc).
  • Beans are also beneficial to the liver cleanse.
  • Fish oil supplements are great to take as long as they are free of toxins.
  • Flax-seed oil is also beneficial.
  • Continue to drink a lot of water and pure juices throughout the day.
  • Eat lightly throughout the day – you should not feel hungry or try to lose weight during this time.
  • You can do light exercise. Do not do anything strenuous so the body can heal and cleanse itself.

Try to eat less or not at all, especially if you aren’t hungry. Digestion takes a lot of energy, and that energy should be focused on cleansing and healing the body.

A side effect is to lose weight, but if you are not eating when you are hungry to accomplish this, you are diminishing the beneficial effects of the liver cleanse.
How to detoxify your liver: Extended Detox

  • Continue the Weekend Detox with fruit juice, vegetable juice, fruits and vegetables.
  • Beans can also be incorporated for the fiber.
  • Continue this as long as you feel good doing it – if there are harsh side effects, it may be from the large of amounts of toxins being purged.

Listen to your body:

It’s better not to over-exert your system. Be gentle with it and start up again in a few days or a week or two.

If you need to discontinue after a few days, or sooner than you had planned, that is ok.

NATURAL CANCER CELL KILLER

Guanábana as we called in Puerto Rico, is one of my favorite fruit since i was a little child…

The Soursop Fruit or GUANABANA (name of the fruit in Puerto Rico)
The Sour Sop or the fruit from the graviola tree is a miraculous natural cancer cell killer 10,000 times stronger than Chemo.

Why are we not aware of this? Its because some big corporation want to make back their money spent on years of research by trying to make a synthetic version of it for sale.

So, since you know it now you can help a friend in need by letting him know or just drink some sour sop juice yourself as prevention from time to time. The taste is not bad after all. It’s completely natural and definitely has no side effects.. If you have the space, plant one in your garden.
The other parts of the tree are also useful.
The next time you have a fruit juice, ask for a sour sop.

How many people died in vain while this billion-dollar drug maker concealed the secret of the miraculous Graviola tree?

This tree is low and is called graviola in Brazil , guanabana in Spanish and has the uninspiring name “soursop” in English. The fruit is very large and the subacid sweet white pulp is eaten out of hand or, more commonly, used to make fruit drinks, sherbets and such.

The principal interest in this plant is because of its strong anti-cancer effects. Although it is effective for a number of medical conditions, it is its anti tumor effect that is of most interest. This plant is a proven cancer remedy for cancers of all types.

Besides being a cancer remedy, graviola is a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent for both bacterial and fungal infections, is effective against internal parasites and worms, lowers high blood pressure and is used for depression, stress and nervous disorders.

If there ever was a single example that makes it dramatically clear why the existence of Health Sciences Institute is so vital to Americans like you, it’s the incredible story behind the Graviola tree.

The truth is stunningly simple: Deep within the Amazon Rainforest grows a tree that could literally revolutionize what you, your doctor, and the rest of the world thinks about cancer treatment and chances of survival. The future has never looked more promising.

Research shows that with extracts from this miraculous tree it now may be possible to:
> * Attack cancer safely and effectively with an all-natural therapy that does not cause extreme nausea, weight loss and hair loss
> * Protect your immune system and avoid deadly infections
> * Feel stronger and healthier throughout the course of the treatment
> * Boost your energy and improve your outlook on life

The source of this information is just as stunning: It comes from one of America ‘s largest drug manufacturers, the fruit of over 20 laboratory tests conducted since the 1970′s! What those tests revealed was nothing short of mind numbing… Extracts from the tree were shown to:
>
> * Effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12 types of cancer, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreatic cancer..
> * The tree compounds proved to be up to 10,000 times stronger in slowing the growth of cancer cells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug!
> * What’s more, unlike chemotherapy, the compound extracted from the Graviola tree selectivelyhunts down and kills only cancer cells. It does not harm healthy cells!

The amazing anti-cancer properties of the Graviola tree have been extensively researched–so why haven’t you heard anything about it? If Graviola extract is as half as promising as it appears to be–why doesn’t every single oncologist at every major hospital insist on using it on all his or her patients?

The spine-chilling answer illustrates just how easily our health–and for many, our very lives(!)–are controlled by money and power.

Graviola–the plant that worked too well

One of America ‘s biggest billion-dollar drug makers began a search for a cancer cure and their research centered on Graviola, a legendary healing tree from the Amazon Rainforest.

Various parts of the Graviola tree–including the bark, leaves, roots, fruit and fruit-seeds–have been used for centuries by medicine men and native Indians in South America to treat heart disease, asthma, liver problems and arthritis. Going on very little documented scientific evidence, the company poured money and resources into testing the tree’s anti-cancerous properties–and were shocked by the results. Graviola proved itself to be a cancer-killing dynamo.

But that’s where the Graviola story nearly ended.

The company had one huge problem with the Graviola tree–it’s completely natural, and so, under federal law, not patentable. There’s no way to make serious profits from it.

It turns out the drug company invested nearly seven years trying to synthesize two of the Graviola tree’s most powerful anti-cancer ingredients. If they could isolate and produce man-made clones of what makes the Graviola so potent, they’d be able to patent it and make their money back. Alas, they hit a brick wall. The original simply could not be replicated. There was no way the company could protect its profits–or even make back the millions it poured into research.
As the dream of huge profits evaporated, their testing on Graviola came to a screeching halt. Even worse, the company shelved the entire project and chose not to publish the findings of its research!

Luckily, however, there was one scientist from the Graviola research team whose conscience wouldn’t let him see such atrocity committed. Risking his career, he contacted a company that’s dedicated to harvesting medical plants from the Amazon Rainforest and blew the whistle.

Miracle unleashed
When researchers at the Health Sciences Institute were alerted to the news of Graviola, they began tracking the research done on the cancer-killing tree. Evidence of the astounding effectiveness of Graviola–and its shocking cover-up–came in fast and furious….

…..The National Cancer Institute performed the first scientific research in 1976. The results showed that Graviola’s “leaves and stems were found effective in attacking and destroying malignant cells.” Inexplicably, the results were published in an internal report and never released to the public…

…Since 1976, Graviola has proven to be an immensely potent cancer killer in 20 independent laboratory tests, yet no double-blind clinical trials–the typical benchmark mainstream doctors and journals use to judge a treatment’s value–were ever initiated…

….A study published in the Journal of Natural Products, following a recent study conducted at Catholic University of South Korea stated that one chemical in Graviola was found to selectively kill colon cancer cells at “10,000 times the potency of (the commonly used chemotherapy drug) Adriamycin…”

….The most significant part of the Catholic University of South Korea report is that Graviola was shown to selectively target the cancer cells, leaving healthy cells untouched. Unlike chemotherapy, which indiscriminately targets all actively reproducing cells (such as stomach and hair cells), causing the often devastating side effects of nausea and hair loss in cancer patients.

…A study at Purdue University recently found that leaves from the Graviola tree killed cancer cells among six human cell lines and were especially effective against prostate, pancreatic and lung cancers…. Seven years of silence broken–it’s finally here!

A limited supply of Graviola extract, grown and harvested by indigenous people in Brazil , is finally available in America .

HEALTH WARNING! – Supermarket Shelf Poisons

Anybody that takes Vitamin C (and most people should) should avoid the following Soft drinks: Sunkist, Fanta, Diet Coke, Sprite, & Pepsi Max.

These drinks contain Sodium Benzoate, 211 on the label. A chemical reaction between Vitamin C and Sodium Benzoate creates Benzine a highly Carcinogenic chemical (story by Channel 9).

Benzine has the ability to severely damage the DNA in the Mitochondria to the point that it totally inactivates it, knocks it out altogether. The Mitochondria consumes Oxygen to give you energy, and if you damage it, then the cell starts to malfunction very seriously, often fatally. A whole array of Diseases has been tied to the damage to the DNA, including Parkinson’s Disease and quite a lot of Neuro-Degenerative Diseases.

This is a follow-up of all the TV station’s stories on Mentos and Diet Coke. Don’t mix these two either, they cause a chemical reaction (explosion) in the stomach. It’s not only Mentos but also any Mint products: Mint Life Savers, Tic Tac’s, Cool Mint’s, etc. The Mint is not the culprit here but the Aspartame in the Diet Drinks, 951 on the label. Also avoid 950 Acelsultame F (same thing). Aspartame poisoning has been scientifically linked to 92 Symptoms of Disease … Still going to drink your Diet Drinks???

Most European countries have forbidden the importation and use in their Country of Aspartame including all makes of Saccharin, example Equal, Nutra-Sweet,  Spoonful & all diet drinks, including 6,000 consumer good’s and beverages sold on supermarket shelves.  This ban affect’s all use of this product in any type of consumable and infringement will carry penalties that go from 9,000 Euros to 90,000 Euros.

Mexico is also considering banning all 6,000 products of Aspartame on its supermarket shelves. In Mexico Aspartame is known as Rumsfeld’s Disease, after George Bush’s mate Donald Rumsfeld. The Nutra-Sweet company and Searle are owned by Monsanto who appointed Rumsfeld as their General Manager so they could use his clout with Parliament to get this deadly poison passed by the FDA and boost their sales of Aspartame products.

anti-freezing agent, highly toxic and even fatal — it destroys the liver, kidneys, lungs, blood cells, heart and the nervous system. It is also in some mouth washes, make-up, aftershaves, baby powder and wipes, shampoos, and deodorants.

Avoid Smarties; they contain almost every toxic artificial colour on the market. The worst are 102 and 104, and the worst of all is 110 (carcinogenic) , 124 (undesirable) , 127 (carcinogenic) , 128 (extreme caution). 129,131, and 133 are also carcinogenic. To top it off Smarties are not even made of Chocolate – neither are Tim Tam’s. Synthetic chocolate has no nutritional food value whatsoever.

Read your labels  — it may one day save your life.
