Food Freedom has deliberately refrained from posting any suggestion that Germany’s superbug is related to biowarfare, until further evidence emerged. Various sources now corroborate this story, including The Atlantic: “On Tuesday [May 31], the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung reported that [leading German E. coli researcher Helge] Karch had discovered that the O104:H4 bacteria responsible for the current outbreak is a so-called chimera that contains genetic materia from various E. coli bacteria. It also contains DNA sequences from plague bacteria, which makes it particularly pathogenic.” Though he emphasized “There is no risk, however, that it could cause a form of plague,” Karch added that plague DNA sequences make the superbug “particularly pathogenic.”

Really, is this reliable info ucdat?

what they do know is that the strain of the disease that threatens northern Germany and greater Europe is a particularly rare and nasty one known as E. Coli O104:H21.

it is possible that this represents leakage from an abandoned biological warfare research cente

Bundesregierung: Ehec breitet sich weiter aus
Auch das Robert-Koch-Institut sieht noch keine
rückläufigen Zahlen – vielen Patienten drohen Langzeitfolgen
Von Christina Berndt

Zur Aufklärung und Eindämmung der Ehec-Welle könnte ein gentechnischer Schnelltest beitragen, den das Konsiliarlabor für HUS am Universitätsklinikum Münster inzwischen entwickelt hat. Binnen einer Stunde lasse sich mit dem Test der für den Ausbruch verantwortliche Keim HUSEC41 nachweisen, sagte Laborleiter Helge Karch der SZ. Er berichtete auch von neuen Detailkenntnissen über den Erreger. Demnach handelt es sich um eine Chimäre aus verschiedenen Coli-Bakterien. HUSEC41 enthalte zudem Erbgutabschnitte des Pesterregers. Dies mache den Keim besonders pathogen; es bedeute aber keineswegs, dass er eine Form von Pest auslösen könne, betonte Karch. Verwandt ist HUSEC41 auch mit solchen Coli-Keimen, die nach überstandener Infektion noch monatelang im Körper der Infizierten weiterleben und ausgeschieden werden. Es müsse daher großes Augenmerk darauf gelegt werden, dass die Betroffenen die Keime nicht durch mangelnde Hygiene an andere Menschen weitergeben und so eine neue Krankheitswelle durch Sekundärinfektionen erfolgt, warnte Karch.

Nostradamus, 1503-1566, was a famous doctor and prophet who not only survived the plague but cured many others with what came to be known as the famous "rose petal pills." In fact, we do not know very much about the lozenges. They might have included rose hips, a rich source of natural vitamin C, as well as sawdust from green cypress, iris of Florence, cloves, odorated calamus, and perhaps some lign-aloes. Nostradamus owned a perfume manufacturing enterprise, which in his time meant distillation of plants to make essential oils. People who worked in these facilities did not succumb to the plague. .and we are just now emerging from our skepticism in such a way as to enable us to understand what is so effective about these highly concentrated aromatic oils.

The proprietary Thieves essential oil blend was created based on research of the concoction used by the thieves of the 15th century. In 1997, studies conducted at Weber State University showed the Thieves essential oil blend to have a 99.96% success rate against airborne bacteria. The bacteria cultures were sprayed in an enclosed area, and Thieves oil blend was diffused for a given amount of time (this can be duplicated in the home using a cool-air diffuser).
