Viruses and Bacteria

1
Viruses and Bacteria

• "If I could live my life over again, I would
  devote it to proving that germs seek their
  natural habitat, diseased tissues, rather than
  being the cause of disease."---
• R. Virchown (popularly reputed as father of the
  "germ theory")
• Flies dont cause garbage

2
The Germ Theory

• the Germ Theory stated that there were separate
  diseases and that each disease was caused by a
  particular micro-organism.
• It was the job of science, then, to find the
  right drug or vaccine that would selectively kill
  off the offending bug without killing the
  patient.
• For one thing, bacteria and viruses tend to be
  "environment-specific." That's why some people
  get colds and others don't.
• Deepak Chopra did a study in which the influenza
  virus was isolated and implanted directly onto
  the mucous membranes of a group of subjects, with
  only 12 of them getting the flu.

Kochs Postulate
1.the organism must be present in every case 2.
must be isolated 3. must cause the disease in a
healthy host 4. must be isolated again
Professor Estor, thereupon remarked "Bacteria
cannot be the cause of gangrene they are the
effects of it."

Bacteria

• Bacteria are single-celled organisms.
• Pathogenic Bacteria Can cause disease if given
  the opportunity example ecoli bacteria
• Normal Bacteria (Normal flora) protect you from
  diseases and help you digest foods has well has
  produce certain vitamins
• The Human body has 70 trillion cells and 4 times
  that many bacteria

Antibiotics
Alexander Fleming observed 1928 bacteria were
killed by bread mold that lead to penicillin in
the mid 1940s. Penicillin initially saved so
many lives because for the first time we had a
drug that could kill a broad spectrum of bacteria
in the human body. A 1992 study CDC's Institute
of Medicine showed that mortality from infectious
disease has risen 22 worldwide from 1980-1992.
From drug resistance in 1946, about 88 of
Staph infections could be cured by penicillin.
By 1950, only 61 of staph infections could be
killed by penicillin In 1982, only 10 of staph
cases could be cured by penicillin. Today it is
less than 5.

70 of All Antibiotic Use Is In Agriculture



 

• bacterial adaptation and resistance were reported
  soon after antibiotics were first used.
• Correcting the overuse of antibiotics in human
  medicine has gradually become a priority, with
  slow but heartening progress being gained in this
  darwinian race.
• the rise of multidrug resistance and the ready
  transfer of resistant traits among pathogens
  require heightened action if we are to prevent
  increasing outbreaks of infections that become
  more difficult, or even impossible, to treat

Tamiflu 1st antiviral ? drug
In 1996 two drug giants Hoffman LaRoche and
Gilead Gilead had invented a new type of flu
drugs called neuraminidase inhibitors, which
included Tamiflu Chairman of the Board of Gilead
Sciences. Donald Rumsfeld. The Marketing The
results of several clinical studies show that
Tamiflu is up to 92 effective in preventing
influenza illness in adolescents, adults and the
elderly when taken once daily. is the first
antiviral pill, effective against all common
strains of flu, that can safely protect people
who are in close contact with someone who has the
flu. The CDC has tested more than 50 strains of
H1N1 and found that 98 of them are resistant to
Tamiflu!

2005 PDR Tamiflu PDR Tamiflu it is assumed to
inhibit a certain enzyme that helps viruses to
bind to cells. The enzyme is called a

But more pertinently, the scientists state that
even though this seems to be how the drug works
in culturethe relationship between the activity
in a culture and the inhibition of influenza
virus replications in humans has not been
established. (p2927) In other words the
scientists who formulated this drug are stating
that they dont know whether or not it even works
in humans!

the treatment of uncomplicated influenza
infection in patients 1 year and older who have
been symptomatic for no more than 2 days.
Tamiflu doesnt help when the patient is already

more than one course. Tamiflu has been shown to

What is a virus?

• A virus lacks the ability to replicate on its
  own. A virus needs help of a host cell's
  duplicating equipment, borrowing enzymes and
  other molecules to concoct more virus.
• "It's not a living organism," said immunologist
  Fabio Romerio of the Institute of Human Virology,
  founded and directed by Gallo. "It's simply a
  well organized molecular parasite.

12
Vaccine Manufacturing
13
Viruses and micro organisms are always present in
your body

• Your Body has Trillions of viruses and micro
  organisms present that live in our
  skin/intestines/mucous membranes
• To say that a vaccine that contains 3 viruses is
  responsible for illness is statistically
  impossible
• The presents of a virus does NOT mean it is the
  cause of the illness
• We are breathing them in eating them, and
  touching them
• The presents of an organism doesnt mean it
  causes illness
• Your immune system is the only defense

14
Virus Types

• Double-Stranded DNA - (HPV) warts, Herpes
  (simplex I and II), Epstein-Barr virus
  (mononucleosis) and Variola (smallpox).Single-St
  randed DNA Pink eyeDouble-Stranded RNA -
  diarrhea viruses .Single-Stranded RNA -
  Rhinovirus (common cold), Rabies and the
  Influenza viruses, AIDs Suspected viruses

15
H? n?

• H hemagglutinin protein, is needed for
  infection it binds to the host cell
• N neuraminidase enzyme this cleaves the bonds
  This allows the release of progeny viruses and
  the spread of the virus from the host cell to
  uninfected surrounding cells
• Both the hemagglutinin and the neuraminidase are
  involved in the infection

16
How is the virus Identified? H?N?

•  Someone, at the CDC guesses which DNA-fractures
  are associated with which type of virus and
  enters this assignment into a central data bank,
  on which the health-authorities come to a
  world-wide agreement.
•  How however, this key-person got its
  corresponding conclusion and how exactly that
  person proved it, even the experts don't really
  know. Hardly anyone questions it.
•  That is not a miracle either, because
  vaccination experts and virologists, that
  question this, question their right of existence
  simultaneously - and their career

17
Virus Identification electrophoresis
Viruses cant be grown on their own Viruses have
to be grown on human cells or monkey cells or
chicken cells then the viral vaccine and isolate
contains many different proteins DNA is broken
by enzymes and those parts are separated
18
How Viruses work
19
up to 45 of the genetic information in our DNA
is viral information,

• Our DNA not only contains the information that
  makes you who but also has information encoded in
  it that can govern your health
• your double-stranded DNA is a little virus hotel
•  Viruses are residing in our body for a purpose
  and a good purpose at that.
• Viruses are responsible for two critically
  important functions in nature Variation and
  adaptation. Yes, it is the virus that is behind
  much of what is termed "evolution".
• Many viruses can change in response to
  alterations in their environment, sort of like a
  chameleon

20
Influenza Influenced by the moon

• influenza is a disease that is associated with a
  family of viruses known as orthomyxoviruses.
• Influenza A, Influenza B, and Influenza C
  viruses. What separates viruses into these 3
  groups is the type of antigen present in the
  virus
• The Influenza A category is a smaller grouping
  called the H1N1 viruses.
• There are dozens and dozens of strains of H1N1.
  The CDC has tested over 50 different strains of
  H1N1.

21
How are viruses tested for

• Rapid Test
• The reliability of rapid diagnostic tests are
  approximately 50-70
• Culture or PCR Tests
• The reliability of viral culture or reverse
  transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR),
  are 90-95.
• False-positive (and true-negative)occur when
  disease prevalence in the community is low, which
  is generally at the beginning and end of the
  influenza seasons.
• False-negative (and true-positive) results are
  more likely to occur when disease prevalence is
  high in the community, which is typically at the
  height of the influenza season.

22
PCR Test Not accurate

• smallest quantities of DNA or RNA with the PCR
  (Polymerase Chain Reaction) and able to produce
  antibodies against it.
• The connection between what has been isolated in
  humans or animals, and the presence of clinical
  symptoms, is a mere hypothesis.

23
The panic of 06/07

• Death toll will be between 200,000
• and 2,000,000 WHO
• Actual Death toll was 115 in 2006 and 86 in 2007
• Frightening headlines warning of a pandemic that
  could kill 150 million people have all but
  vanished.
• Dr. Paul A. Offit, a vaccine specialist at
  Childrens Hospital in Philadelphia, H5 viruses
  have been around for 100 years and never caused a
  pandemic and probably never will.

24
Epidemic of flu or Fear

• Last July, the Centers for Disease Control and
  Prevention advised state health officials to do
  two things. 1) Stop testing patients for H1N1. 2)
  Stop counting cases of H1N1.The official line
  from CDC went like this We already know it's an
  epidemic. So we're not going to waste time
  running tests to tell us what we already
  know.Still, someone at CBS news thought that
  was sort of odd. Seems like we'd want to keep
  close tabs on something like that!

25
Colds and flu from the cdc

• What is the difference between a cold and the
  flu?
• The flu and the common cold are both respiratory
  illnesses but they are caused by different
  viruses. Because these two types of illnesses
  have similar flu-like symptoms, it can be
  difficult to tell the difference between them
  based on symptoms alone.
• How can you tell the difference between a cold
  and the flu?
• Because colds and flu share many symptoms, it can
  be difficult (or even impossible) to tell the
  difference between them based on symptoms alone.
  Special tests that usually must be done within
  the first few days of illness can be carried out,
  when needed to tell if a person has the flu

26
CDC Sates 36,000 die of the flu

• A CDC spokesman, Mr. Curtis Allen
• There are a couple problems with determining the
  number of deaths related to the flu because most
  people don't die from influenza - they die from
  complications of influenza - so the numbers of
  deaths are based on mathematical formulas. We
  don't know exactly how many people get the flu
  each year because it's not a reportable disease
  and most physicians don't do the test nasal
  swab to indicate whether the symptoms are
  caused by influenza.

27
Actual Flupatients tested and results

• CBS News filed a Freedom of information act to
  get this info
• .California tested 13,704 flu patients 86
  negative for flu
• 
  12 for other flu
• 
  2 had H1N1
• Alaska tested 722 flu patients 93

  Negative for flu
• 
  2 had H1N1
• Florida tested 8,853 flu patients -- 83
  negative for flu
•

28
Actual Death Rates

• CDC states 36,000 people die per year of
  influenza
• Year Influenza
  Pneumonia
• 2002 727
  64,954
• 2001 257
  61,777
• 1999 572
  49,954
• The CDC death stats include all respiratory and
  circulatory deaths. 2009 deaths estimate approx
  low of 2000 a high of 6500 an average about
  4000

29
Perspective as of 8/30/2009 Global Health Policy

• Global 1,771,733 TB
• Global 881,000 Malaria
• Global 262 Avian Flu
• Global 774 SARS (sever acute respiratory synd.)
• Global 171 Swine Flu H1N1
• On July 16, 2009, WHO announced that it has
  become increasingly difficult and
  resource-intensive for countries to confirm all
  cases of H1N1 influenza through laboratory
  testing. Countries that have reported
  community-wide transmission of H1N1 influenza are
  no longer required to submit regular reports of
  individual laboratory-confirmed cases to WHO.
  Instead, WHO requests that countries report the
  initial confirmed cases for as long as it is
  feasible.

Pediatric Flu Deaths by Year Made WORSE by Flu
Vaccine

• 1999 -- - 29 deaths
• 2000 -- - 19 deaths
• 2001 -- - 13 deaths
• 2002 -- - 12 deaths
• 2003 -- - 90 deaths (Year of mass vaccinations of
  children under age 5 years)
• 2006 -- 78 deaths
• 2007 -- - 88 deaths
• 2008 116 deaths (40.9 vaccinated at age 6
  months to 23 months)
• Parents should also keep in mind that this study,
  as well as the Australian/New Zealand Study found
  that childhood obesity played a major role in a
  childs risk of being admitted to the ICU or
  dying. This is another dramatic demonstration as
  to the danger of obesity in children and that all
  parents should avoid MSG (all food-based
  excitotoxin additives), excess sugar and excess
  high glycemic carbohydrates in their childrens
  diets. This goes for pregnant moms as well.

31
How are the viruses chosen

• Every year health officials produce a new flu
  vaccine containing three mutated strains of flu
  virus.
• To determine which strains to use, officials
  travel to China at the beginning of the year to
  assess circulating flu viruses in that region of
  the world.
• They try to guess which strains will reach the
  United States by the end of the year. Production
  begins, and the new vaccine is usually available
  by October.

32
What happens if the guess is wrong

• This happened in 1996, and again in 1997.
• 1996, 857 people died from the flu
• 1997, 745 people died from the flu -- typical
  annual numbers.
• In 2004, flu vaccine Several batches were
  contaminated and had to be destroyed
• Only 45 million people versus 90 million during
  an average year got the vaccine.
• the 2004-2005 flu season should be catastrophic.
  If, as the CDC claims, 36,000 people die every
  year from the flu fatalities did not increase.
• The vaccine created for the 2003-2004 flu season
  contained flu strains that did not circulate
  through society that year. Millions of people
  were vaccinated with an ineffective vaccine. flu
  fatalities did not increase

33
Viruses Vital for our ecosystem

• viruses are an integral part of every ecosystem
  including the human body
• Most viruses are actually not harmful, and in
  fact have played an important part in evolution
  and in maintaining healthy ecosystems
• Andrew Holmes, a microbiologist from the
  University of Sydney, "viruses are everywhere and
  do not instantly equal 'bad' they have the
  potential to cause very rapid biological change
  through epidemic disease, but that is exceedingly
  rare," he says. "Vigilance is important but panic
  is unwarranted."
• "They are able to move genetic information
  between different hosts, but we still do not
  fully understand how this has influenced, and
  continues to influence, the evolution of new
  species.

34
Viruses that cause cancer or tumors

• The viruses that cause cancer or tumors weren't
  created to cause cancer or tumors.
• We force them into manufacturing tumors if we
  expose our selves to deficiencies (nutrition) or
  toxicities (vaccinations, pollutants,
  environmental ) the formation of tumors occurs.
• You dont catch cancer you have to earn it

35
Natural Virus that kills cancer

• The Senecavirus is a "new" virus, discovered
  several years ago
• this virus was harmless to normal human cells,
  but could infect certain solid tumors, such as
  small cell lung cancer, the most common form of
  lung cancer.

36
Lets look at the studies

• -A recent study found that vaccinating young
  children against the flu had no impact on
  flu-related hospitalizations or doctor visits
  during two recent flu seasons. The researchers
  concluded that significant influenza vaccine
  effectiveness could not be demonstrated for any
  season, age, or setting examined.
  October 2008 issue of the
  Archives of Pediatric Adolescent Medicine
• -A study found that influenza vaccination was
  NOT associated with a reduced risk of pneumonia
  in older people. Vaccination coverage among the
  elderly increased from 15 percent in 1980 to 65
  percent now, yet there has been no decrease in
  deaths from influenza or pneumonia.
  April 2008 Lancet
• -Another study concluded that vaccination
  against pneumonia does not reduce your risk of
  contracting the disease. The New England
  Journal of Medicine, 2005

37
More studies on vaccination

• -Research published in May 2008 also confirms
  that there has been no decrease in deaths from
  influenza and pneumonia, despite the fact that
  vaccination coverage among the elderly has
  increased from 15 percent in 1980 to 65 percent
  now. American
  Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine
  May 2008
• - Researchers published this conclusion We
  conclude that frailty selection bias and use of
  non-specific endpoints such as all-cause
  mortality have led cohort studies to greatly
  exaggerate vaccine benefits.
  
  National Institutes of Health Lancet
  Infectious Diseases 2007
• -A large-scale, systematic review of 51 studies,
  published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic
  Reviews in 2006, found no evidence that the flu
  vaccine is any more effective than a placebo in
  children. The studies involved 260,000 children,
  age 6 to 23 months.

38
Canada Suspends Flu Shots 11/09

• British Columbia announced it is suspending
  seasonal flu shots for anyone under 65 years old,
  joining Quebec, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario
  and Nova Scotia in halting the immunizations.
• The study suggests that people vaccinated against
  seasonal flu are actually twice as likely to
  catch swine flu.

Flu Shots For Your Child or Yourself ?

•  The majority of flu shots contain 25 micrograms
  of mercury, an amount considered unsafe for
  anyone weighing less than 550 pounds!  
  October issue of the Archives of Pediatric
  Adolescent Medicine found that vaccinating young
  children against the flu appeared to have no
  impact on flu-related doctor visits or
  hospitalizations during two recent flu
  seasons. The researchers concluded that
  "significant influenza vaccine effectiveness
  could not be demonstrated for any season, age, or
