in my opinion and pardon my grammar, yesterday in on of the main
newspapers  from NY-DC there was an article in the Science section
about people who wash their hands too much because they want to wash
their guilt away ! ! , front page of the Science section of a national
newspaper just when the flu and cold season begins to spread mostly by
contact,ahummm! so the Pharma is pushing this writer to convince all to
don't be so clean, dont wash your hands and guilt so much, get some
germs and viruses and get a bit sick and buy their cold and flu
medications,thats what it is, if we dont get sick, the one trillion
Market Cap of "Pharma-Drugs-Chains-Doctors-Hospitals-tests-patents "
would collapse , what a criminal shame! thats also why we still dont
have Genetic or Chemical labeling in Foods,Drinks, Crops,Vegies and
fruits, total darkness, got to feed those Pharmaceutical Executives and
stockholders, amazing!

Cold & flu medications are useless anyway, in fact the ones that simply
ameliorate symptoms do more to spread the virus by allowing sick people to
become vectors (or get back to work too soon).

Generic paracetemol, water & bed rest doesn't spin that much $$$ in the
"pharma industry". But you do seem to have some sort of a point - what it's
got to do with GM food labelling (which is in place where I live at least) I
have no idea!!!

in my humble opinion,its all related, a) we dont have genetic and
chemical labeling so that people can't find out what makes them
allergic or sick, but some will say that's just a coincidence, and they
make 60 billion dollars a year by omitting those little details! , b)
from the Archives of Internal Medicine we find out that menthol
cigarettes, like Lorillard's Newport and Parliaments and others, are
twice as hard to kick as regular non -menthol, and we find out now,
after 30 years and 10 million people,mostly blacks and woman getting
lung cancer and emphisema, but hey ! some will say its just another
coincidence , take it easy ! , c) the Carter Center is trying to expand
the "Lifestraw " usage ,a little plastic tube that with active carbon
and resine iodine in 7 microfilter meshes cuts the bacteria and fungus
and some viruses in drinking waters in undeveloped countries, but hey!
the diarrhea and stomach medicine business is 100 billion dollars
market cap, so they'll say the lack of these "Lifestraw" solutions  is
just another terrible coincidence,d) the terrible thing is that
http://www.npr.org/  radio  and
http://www.c-span.org/ radio and TV  and PBS-TV  do never talk about
this, they only talk about the Pharma Businesses,and that's just half
of the Story, we need the 2, businesses and profits and humanity and
greatness, the balance, and that takes leadership, where is Bush? where
is Congress? where is the other side? , what a low level of Humanity,
what a shame!

Why can't the Lifestraw filter out the Giardia amoeboid from
American lakes and streams ?
