Keeping One's Immune System Strong Is What I Have Been A Saying for Twenty five plus years...

Dear All One Family:

So much stuff has hit the news room that many have chosen to bury their heads in the sand and just hope that their prayers of wellness for the world, will magically upright itself when they take their eyes off of it...

In a large way, I totally understand your reason, yet in a different way, I also get confirmations from the news...things that I were a seeing happen due to this financial time in the land...were a coming to pass and that meant to me that additional prayers were needed in every situation all over our great land/world...people were in trouble.

So some people need the news to keep them entertained, I need to news to keep me inform of areas of our land and world a needing help and prayers...

I guess, different strokes for different folks...for I know of several that have shut down the news service and just paid attention to movies or soap operas..in hopes that when they take their head out of the sand, that their magical new world would be here front and center, just as they prayed.

For all those that feel the way that I just expressed, I say to you all; it matters neither way which way is the best to proceed at this time...I watch the news to keep my mind sharp as to what is occurring outside my soft vision dwellings...and to extend compassion to every moment in time that another being is in harms way...this is just me and that is all that I have to account for, anyways.

I feel that this news story is something worthy to be placed in this posting for it states exactly what I have been a saying for several years now...especially after losing a very and dear sister in law to its ravenous effects after a head on car collision injured her severely and thus weakened her immune system dramatically...

My sister in law counteracted the virus mentioned here from a supposed hospital nurse who had just recently passed on...

So I felt prompted to write about my sister in law who was actually only a few years older than myself when she passed and the virus effects upon her, made it seem like she was in her eighty's yet only in her mid fifties...

Not a good virus at all, yet like I have told all here...The Manetek website on my major www.onlinetoniewallace.com website has the link for my Manetek probiotic line up...products that I have used and recommend highly...so I have discovered help for poor and ailing body immune system organs and tissues and cells...check it out, plus you help fund this research center...thanks and be happy and joy, peace and love filled...

Deadly pneumonia caused by super-bugs on rise: studyTue May 19, 7:08 pm ET
LONDON (Reuters) – Deadly pneumonia caused by so-called superbugs are spreading outside hospitals and represent a growing threat to the public, U.S. researchers warned on Wednesday.
Making the problem more worrying is the recent H1N1 flu outbreak because the "super-bug" pneumonia most commonly appears following an influenza-like illness, Alicia Hidron of the Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta reported.
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections can range from boils to more severe infections of the blood, lungs and the sites of surgery. Such infections can often be treated only with expensive intravenous antibiotics.
Most cases are associated with hospitals, nursing homes or other health care facilities but infections acquired in the wider community are increasing, the researcher noted.
"Community-acquired MRSA infections are no longer restricted to certain risk groups or to the geographic areas where outbreaks first occurred," they wrote in the journal Lancet Infectious Diseases.
"They now occur widely both in the community as well as health care facilities and have been reported on every continent."
As these superbugs spread in communities, more pneumonia cases are likely -- and the researchers said these may have mortality rates of more than 50 percent.
"However, the overall incidence of community-acquired MRSA pneumonia remains unknown," the researchers wrote.
In their analysis, Hidron and colleagues looked at two U.S. cases caused by a specific MRSA strain that is a culprit behind many superbug infections in the United States.
They reported the pneumonia usually features high fever and low blood pressure with rapid progression to septic shock -- a widespread infection that sends the whole body into a tailspin -- and an urgent need for mechanical ventilation.
The researchers said they do not know why community-acquired MRSA pneumonia appears so lethal but noted the bacteria that cause it are more susceptible to antibiotics than hospital-acquired infections.
"The best treatment of this ... disease has not been defined," they wrote.(Reporting by Michael Kahn; Editing by Maggie Fox and Jon Hemming)

Natural News
NaturalNews) A new study just published in the journal Postgraduate Medicine has good news about a way to help fight a potential flu pandemic, naturally. Researchers found that a specific strain of probiotics, which are beneficial microorganisms similar to the "friendly" bacteria found naturally in the body's digestive system, increases the body's immune response to the flu virus -- specifically, to influenza A. And the currently much hyped and much feared so-called swine flu, also known as H1N1, is a variant of influenza A.

Although many mainstream medical doctors as well as natural health practitioners have long recognized that probiotics can often help people with digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), diarrhea, gas, and bloating, the idea that taking probiotics could help healthy people stay that way has been controversial. But the new study could change that notion. It shows that taking probiotics regularly can boost the immune system in a specific way which helps the body give influenza A the boot. The probiotics strain, which has the scientific tongue-twister name of Bacillus coagulans GBI-30, PTA-6086, was found to cause significant increases in T-cell production of TNF-alpha, a key immune system activity marker, when health adults were exposed to influenza.

Researcher Mira Baron, MD, measured changes in blood TNF-alpha levels in 10 healthy adult volunteers before and after they took doses of the probiotic strain Bacillus coagulans (which is marketed under the trade name GanedenBC30 and found in various dietary supplements) daily and then were exposed to an influenza A virus. Results showed a huge 1709 percent increase in TNF-alpha levels upon viral challenge after the research participants had taken the probiotic for about a month. Dr. Baron noted in her study that the initial, dramatic increase in the body's production of TNF-alpha in response to viral exposure shows a heightened immunological response aimed at protecting against infection.

The study did not evaluate an immune response to the specific swine flu virus, H1N1, currently causing much worry. However, there's certainly reason to think that Bacillus coagulans could boost the body's natural defenses to fight a variety of flu viruses, including swine flu. "These results demonstrate the ability of GanedenBC30 to boost the immune system of healthy adults against viruses that cause some of the most common human illnesses," Dr. Baron said in a statement to the press. "The study helps support the long-suspected belief about the beneficial effects of GanedenBC30 on the immune system and adds to the emerging body of evidence that probiotics can benefit healthy people as well as those with specific health issues."

Dr. Gary Huffnagle, a professor of microbiology and immunology at the University of Michigan, and author of the book The Probiotics Revolution reviewed Dr. Baron's findings and concluded the research adds to the growing body of scientific data that show probiotics boost the immune function of healthy adults to defend against infection and lessen the symptoms of disease. "I think it is a wise move to include the consumption of probiotics, such as Sustenex (a supplement that contains Bacillus coagulans), along with good diet, frequent hand washing and other recommendations by the CDC in the battle against flu. While more research is needed to demonstrate whether this translates into reduced hospitalization and/or deaths, it's a healthy, low-cost, proactive thing that people can do that has no risks associated with it."
