Vaccination Is The Only Way To Prevent Meningitis

newsinfusion — Fri, 19 Sep 2008 15:50:16 GMT

September 19, 2008 - Infants, adolescents and young adults are at the highest risk of contracting meningococcal meningitis. Recognizing the symptoms and learning about vaccine prevention can save your child from its terrible consequences.

In the hopes of sparing other parents and children from going through this agony, parents joined to form the National Meningitis Association to help educate the public and medical professionals about this devastating disease and how to prevent it.

There are about 3000 cases of meningococcal disease every year in the U.S. affecting all age groups. The disease is a serious, potentially fatal bacterial infection. Left untreated, it can progress rapidly, often within hours of the first symptoms, and can lead to shock, and serious complications. Knowing the symptoms can save lives. Prompt action can make the difference between life and death. The symptoms of meningitis include high fever, rash, headache, stiff neck, confusion, nausea, vomiting and exhaustion.

What effects do What effects do mobile phones have on people’s health?

Mobile phones have been in extensive use for a relatively short period of time, and their technology has progressively changed, from analogue to digital systems. Mobile phones and base stations emit radio frequency or microwave radiation. Exposure to such a radiation could affect health directly. The use of mobile phones also results in indirect effects, such as car accidents and interference with health equipment. Experimental research on the effects of radio-frequency radiation is very broad and heterogeneous. It includes both studies of cell cultures and tissues (in vitro) and of laboratory animals (in vivo), as well as of people (volunteers). On one hand, these studies focus on functional changes in the brain and the resulting effects on cognition, and (to some extent) well-being – that is, the influence of exposure to radiation on the head. On the other hand, these studies focus on the possibility of a relationship between mobile phone use and carcinogenic processes, reproduction and development, the cardiovascular system and longevity – that is, exposure of the whole body. These studies found very small and reversible biological and physiological effects that do not necessary lead to diseases or injuries. Also, the research findings on the changes at the molecular level associated with the development of cancer are inconsistent and contradictory.

5. the assumption that the microwave radiation from phone usage must be far more intense and therefore more bioeffective than system (infrastructural antenna) microwave radiation exposure, when in fact the science shows *duration* to be a more powerful factor in producing harmful effects than either absorption or exposure; and the system irradiates everyone everywhere 24-7 - constantly;
6. the assumption that only humans matter, and that even if animals and plants were harmed, humans would not be damaged secondarily to them; when in fact, the science definitively shows the extra vulnerability that small humans, animals and plants have to microwave radiation, and humans are quite dependent upon other species for life and health;
7. the word "risk", in order that people infer that they may or may not experience harm from cell phone radiation, when in fact such radiation is admitted to be a "hazard", i.e., definitely harmful, by the US standard-setting committee (ANSI-IEEE);
8. the word "concern" to describe emotion that exists in people's minds, as opposed to "knowledge" of "facts" about the "actual" biological "harm" that cell phone radiation from all sources perpetrates everywhere at every moment.

The telecommunications industry wants the public - and public health scientists and medical doctors! - to focus on:
1. only the potential for cancer as an outcome, which of course industry denies, when many horrific effects - particularly neurologic - are known to occur;
2. only long-term effects, no immediate or short-term effects; since the latter allow proof of cause-and-effect and therefore litigation and legislation;
3. only effects from (mostly voluntary) cell phone *usage*, not effects from involuntary infrastuctural (broadcast antenna) radiation exposure; since the latter would prove the need to remove the whole cell phone system;
4. only effects from a body absorption perspective (again, phone usage) rather than power density (involuntary system) exposure, where the science on the latter very strongly illustrates harm;

Daniel’s been on a bit of a spending spree. After establishing his own hand-written product lineup under his Red Sweater Software brand, he went on to purchase two additional apps.

Daniel shares what it’s like to take over an existing app (or two), what deals can make sense, which you should avoid and unexpected lessons he’s learned.
