Hello Friend,
I hope you, your animals, and other non furry animals had a
pleasant weekend..
Today's story is about putting some perspective back into the oh
so heated vaccine debate.
I have been the occasional topic of debate, especially among
those in the veterinary community.
If you would like to know the entire story, and then learn how to
not only best treat your pet, but also how to save on veterinary
fees, get my book here:

| | MEASLES OUTBREAK
I am done with ALL of the innacurate news about the so called..
'Measles Outbreak' and ongoing conventional media stories about
the evils of 'gasp' not vaccinating..
First here is what the CDC has to say..
Unfortunately measles cases have been on the rise recently. After
hitting a record low number of cases in 2004 (just 37 cases), we seem to continue to hit new record highs for measles every few years now.
So far, there have already been over 644 confirmed cases of
measles in the U.S. in 2014 - the most since 1994. And 2015 is
getting off to a very strong start already - at least 154 cases
in 17 states.
vs this..

| | LCDC puts C difficile burden at 453,000 cases, 29,000 deaths
On the basis of a 2011 study, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has increased its estimate of the annual burden of Clostridium difficile infections in the United States, putting it at 453,000 cases per year, with 29,300 associated deaths.
The agency, which released the findings in the New England
Journal of Medicine (NEJM), said they point up the need for
better antibiotic stewardship and rigorous infection control in
healthcare facilities.
C diff infections occur when someone is exposed to the pathogen while receiving antibiotic treatment for some other illness.
Antibiotics suppress the normal bacteria in the colon, allowing C diff to flourish, producing toxins that cause severe diarrhea.
Damage to the colon can cause bacteria to leak into the
bloodstream.
So let's get this right.
Nearly 30,000 deaths, and 453,000 cases of a bacterial disease PRIMARILY caused by antibiotic use..
YES We...are CAUSING this.
And virtually NO media coverage..
vs 644 cases of measles.
And no deaths
Hmm
Yes the number of C diff cases is nearly 1000 times more...
If the mainstream media were really interested in public health, they may want to discuss this, and suggest ways to avoid dying from a preventable bacterial disease..
By only taking antibiotics when necessary.
Using probiotics to treat disease, and immediately take probiotics IF ever being on antibiotics.
But what do I know?
Apparently not much according to this guy, but at times it's best not to read/watch all the news.. |
