Whooping Cough Cases Triple In Suffolk County
<http://clicks.aweber.com/y/ct/?l=6BEwk&m=IcvtIDgiY3dBIj&b=v9NhJTCH5nlTQXv.oDqfTg>
From NBC News
There are already 179 reported cases in the county (may be because whooping
cough is now better diagnosed and because public awareness is higher? Where
have we heard this before? But they make up for that silly comment in the
next sentence. Another reason may be because more people are opting not to
have their children vaccinated )
The number of whooping cough cases have tripled in Suffolk County since last
year, according to the Suffolk County Health Department.
In 2010, there were only 54 reported cases of whooping cough. In 2011, there
were 179 reported whooping cough or pertussis cases.
One reason for the increase, according to Suffolk Health Commissioner Dr.
James L. Tomarken, may be because whooping cough is now better diagnosed and
because public awareness is higher.
Another reason may be because more people are opting not to have their
children vaccinated.
"It's a cyclical thing, sometimes we see pertussis in waves of three to five
years," said Tomarken. "We hope we have seen the worst but we just don't
know."
Whooping cough usually starts with cold symptoms, accompanied by a
persistent dry cough that could last weeks or even months. The bacterial
infection is spread through droplets in the air.
Of the 179 cases in Suffolk so far this year, almost 40 of the patients were
students in the Smithtown school district. In June 2010, nearly 40 people,
most of them students, contracted whooping cough.
According to Suffolk health officials, all those affected had been immunized
in the past, but immunizations are not 100 percent effective. The students
did develop less severe symptoms because of their prior vaccinations.
"Parents should make sure their children are getting booster shots," said
Dr. Tomarken. "And adults who are in contact with any child under one,
should also do the same."
(Dr Bate's comments:) Isn't it interesting that many of the affected were
vaccinated, but still caught it? That seems to be happening more and more,
PLUS the proven facts that children NOT vaccinated are healthier as a group
than those who were. The web makes lies by Big Pharma and the AMA show up
as such. When will the general public learn about the dangers of
vaccinations? Autism and depression are only two of the many health
problems caused by mineral toxicity. Taking large amounts (natural) of
ascorbic acid vitamin C takes out all minerals cheaply.

*Stress...*
*A young lady confidently walked around the room while leading and
explaining stress management to an audience; with a raised glass of water,
and everyone knew she was going to ask the ultimate question, 'half empty or
half full?'..... she fooled them all... "How heavy is this glass of water?",
she inquired with a smile.** *
*Answers called out ranged from 8 oz. to 20 oz.*
*She replied, "The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long I
hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem. If I hold it for
an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you'll
have to call an ambulance. In each case it's the same weight, but the longer
I hold it, the heavier it becomes."
She continued, "and that's the way it is with stress. If we carry our
burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly
heavy, we won't be able to carry on."*
*"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest
before holding it again. When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the
burden - holding stress longer and better each time practiced.
So, as early in the evening as you can, put all your burdens down. Don't
carry them through the evening and into the night.... pick them up tomorrow.
*
*Whatever burdens you're carrying now, put them down for a moment. Relax,
pick them up later after you've rested. Life is short. Enjoy it and the now
'supposed' stress that you've conquered!"*
*
1 * Accept the fact that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're
the statue!*
*2 * Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat
them.*
*3 * Always read stuff that makes you feel good..*
*4 * Drive carefully... It's not only cars that can be recalled by their
Maker..*
*5 * If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague*
*6 * If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was
probably worth it..*
*7 * It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a
warning to others.*
*8 * Never buy a car you can't push.*
*9 * Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you
won't have a leg to stand on.*
*10 * Nobody cares if you can't dance well.
Just get up and dance..*
*11 * Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late..*
*12 * The second mouse gets the cheese.
13 * When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.*
*14 * Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.*
*15 * You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world
to one person.
16 * Some mistakes are too much fun to make only once.
17 * We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and
some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colors, but they
all have to live in the same box.
18 * A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour..
19 * Have an awesome day and know that someone thought about you today.*
*20 * It was me, your friend!*
**Save the earth -- It's the only planet with chocolate!* *
---
*Instead of "managing" your stress, how about losing a lot of it by using
my Neuroliminal Training. NT does what Neurofeedback does, but even better
and at a fraction of that cost - Guaranteed or your money refunded!.*
