The Devastating Consequences of Glutathione Shortage
Without glutathione, every cell in your body would die prematurely from its own waste products.
Without glutathione your entire defense (immune) system would surrender to the first virus you encountered and cease to function.
Without glutathione, your liver, which cleanses all the toxins you ingest or inhale and acts as a washing machine, could no longer cleanse any poison or toxin, as glutathione is, in a sense, the detergent for the washing machine.
Without glutathione (and I mean a complete absence) oxygen-based life (us) would be impossible.
TESTIMONIALS
HEART PROBLEM & E.D. Serge, Age: 46, Improved Cellular Function Back in 2005, I suffered a heart attack, three weeks before my 44th birthday; I remember thinking, “What’s going on? I’m too young for this!” But it did happen. Since then, I was plagued with chronic fatigue, heart palpitation, headaches and more.
I started taking the glutathione supplement last spring and after 3 days of taking it my palpitation had ceased. Then one week later my fatigue was gone and so were my headaches.
But on thing I did not expect. Since I was very young, I chewed my fingernails (I was always a nervous child) and one day, after about 3 months on the glutathione supplement, I started to notice fingernails growing for the first time in 40 years. My stress levels had gone down so gradually that I did not notice that I did not chew my nails in a few days, and have not had the urge to chew my nails since then. I’ve also noticed my E.D. as a result of my heart attack had also been corrected. My sleep patterns have also been much better, as well as my mental focus.
FIBROMYALGIA & MENISCUS CARTILAGE TEAR Jillyn, Improved Cellular Function-Musculoskeletal In February 2006, working as a teacher I, Jillyn, at 52 years old was tripped in the hall and landed on my left knee. It immediately swelled up and I struggled to walk. I was sent to two doctors, one was an orthopedic surgeon I had X-rays, and an MRI done. I was told my MRI showed a meniscus cartilage tear. It hurt so bad I couldn’t sleep and I walked with severe pain. I was given Prednisone and Amitriptyline to bring down the inflammation and the pain, but to no avail. I was on crutches for a month but that didn’t help either.
Then in April 2007, over a year later and still in pain, I was then sent to another orthopedic surgeon who really is a specialist in knees. He said I definitely needed surgery. But I am allergic to a lot of anti-inflammatories so I wanted to think about it for a few weeks. I then heard about the glutathione supplement and started taking it to see if it would help my fibromyalgia which I was diagnosed with in 1980 by a rheumatologist. Some symptoms of fibromyalgia, besides pain and lack of energy that I also struggle with are severe insomnia where many nights I did not sleep at all and a lack of mental clarity.
The longer I was on the glutathione supplement, the better I felt. After about 2 months of taking it I noticed increased mental clarity, my energy level was up and there was less stiffness in my joints and muscles. I sleep better and I feel better than I have in 27 years! I am sleeping all night, every night, and my knee is NOT painful anymore.
Now 1 ½ years since the fall, Oct. 1, I had a follow up with the knee specialist, the orthopedic surgeon who I saw last April. I was concerned about the surgery and when to have it. After my exam he wrote up the results and asked if I wanted a copy. In those results he wrote,
‘PLAN: Because her symptoms have shown signs of resolution and her exam is benign today would recommend holding off on surgery for now. Continue to follow on a conservative basis using the glutathione supplement. Since the inflammation is now resolving, it will take another 6 months or so for complete healing.”
My orthopedic surgeon then explained that by keeping the inflammation down with the glutathione supplement my body has been able to work on healing my meniscus cartilage tear. He then recommended careful exercise to build my knee strength, so the very next day I walked ONE mile on it, which I had not dared do, and my knee felt fine. I am ecstatic!
My knee is doing wonderful, NO surgery needed, my fibromyalgia seldom bothers me anymore, I have more energy, better mental clarity and I sleep every night.
For years I have also had severe allergies. And after four months on the glutathione supplement, I was able to keep my allergies completely under control. I felt normal and even forgot about my allergies until one day my husband asked me why I wasn’t suffering with them. I said I was only taking my glutathione supplement and had no allergy symptoms.
MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (MS) Frank and Judy, Improved Cellular Function I am 46 years young and I live in Peachland, BC.
In 1997, we were hit with the news that I was being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, a neurological disease which leaves little hope for the future. Our children were young teens at the time and needless to say this was terrifying for all of us. With MS comes many different types of symptoms, muscle pain and spasm, mental and physical fatigue, poor balance, I can go on and on. Activities had to be well planned so that I could be well rested. I hated feeling like a burden to my family.
As things go over the next years so many well intentioned friends and friends of friends were convinced they could “cure” my MS with their various products etc. Being somewhat of a realist I didn’t want any part of bouncing from product to product, I did my research, there is no cure for MS!
In January of 2005 my husband had a heart attack, yet another blow for us! Two surgeries and 11 stints later he is taking huge doses of Lipitor (80 mg daily).
Our children now being young adults and heading out on their own, I wanted a change for us so we moved to Peachland and semi-retired.
In June of 2007 my husband was introduced to a glutathione supplement. I was willing to try it.
About two weeks into taking the glutathione supplement, I had to admit that I was feeling so much better than I had in years! Less spasm, less pain, less fatigue and more energy than I had in some time! WOW and this gets better. After two months on the product, my husband’s medication was reduced by 20% to 60 mg of Lipitor daily.
Glutathione has been so much more than a supplement. It has and is changing our lives daily. I still have MS but MS doesn’t have me! We are looking forward to a much longer life and a better quality of life than we ever could have imagined!
PARKINSON’S Jean, Improved Cellular Function-Neurologic I am a 52 year old woman with Parkinson’s. I was diagnosed in 2002, at the age of 47. My neurologist is Ali H. Rajput, OC, SOM, MBBS, FRCPC, of Royal University Hospital, Saskatoon, Canada. I was last seen by Dr. Rajput in December of 2006, when it was determined I could no longer work (I was a bakery manager at the time). This is a part of his letter to my family doctor. “Jean was examined 3 hours and 30 minutes after the last dose of Sinemet. There was a 2+ resting tremor in the left upper limb and 1+ resting tremor in all other limbs. There is 2+ postural tremor in the right upper limb and 1+ in the left upper limb. Her pronation/supernation is at 2+ on the left side and 1+ on the right side, and heel tapping is 3+ on the left and 1+ on the right. There is 1+ rigidity. Her posture is stable; she is therefore at Stage 2 disability.”
I first started taking the glutathione supplement in late May 2007. I started with three capsules in the morning and three in the afternoon. I felt nauseated, weak, developed a headache, and broke out in hives. So I then started taking only 1 capsule twice daily for three days. Then I went to 1 and 2 for 3 days. I still did not feel really well. Then I went to 2 and 2. By day 10, I started to feel really good. I actually slept for 4 hours straight, something that had not happened in the last 2 years. By day 12, I was feeling great! My medication did not “wear off” in one to one-and-a half hours like it usually did, but lasted 3 hours before wearing off! My pain level went from about an 8 to a 2. For the first time since about January of 2007, I did not have to use a came to walk! What a wonderful feeling that was! There was no more Parkinson’s shuffle, and the cramping in my left arm and leg was minimal. And instead of sleeping half the afternoon away, I only need about a 15-minute nap. I started taking 3 and 3 capsules on about day 30. The hives have gone away and no more headaches. So, to sum up the first 3 months;
1) My energy level increased (from about a 2 to a 6)
2) I sleep for about three hours straight and for a total of about 6 hours per night, whereas before, I was lucky to get a total of 4 hours per night.
3) My medications last 3 to 3-and-a-half hours instead of 1 to 1-and-a-half hours, resulting in:
a) Less tremors
b) Less muscle cramping
c) Less muscle rigidity
d) Do not lose my voice very often
e) Do not have as much trouble swallowing
f) Pain in joints is minimal (as opposed to all day)
g) Do not need cane to walk
h) Less depression
i) My thinking is a lot clearer, not so foggy in the morning
j) Panic attacks are less
k) I fee more confident in such things as my driving, going put alone, etc.
l) Overall, more “on” time than “off” time
In September, I felt the glutathione supplement was not working as well, so I started taking 3 in the morning, 3 just after lunch, and 3 at around 4 or 5 p.m. This seems to be working well.
JOINTS, BONES AND MUSCLES Shirley, Improved Cellular Function About three months ago, I had problems with my joints bones and muscles, I wasn’t very good company. I felt old, much older than my age. I couldn’t walk upstairs or hills. Just standing after sitting for a while would give me excruciating pain. I never felt good about anything in my life for about 10 years. Although I was skeptical, I started taking the glutathione supplement.
In one week, I started to notice little things, like going about the house humming. The first time I caught myself humming n the morning before coffee, WOW! Then I was walking upstairs without stopping halfway or on my hands and knees. Now I feel so good I can walk up a hill, that before I would have had to stop three or four times before reaching the top. Now I just keep on going without getting out of breath or feeling any pain whatsoever. I would recommend the glutathione supplement to anyone, at any age. I am now 68 going on 45 or 50. Before I felt like 68 going on 80.
ANXIETY, DEPRESSION & CHEST PAIN Carvel, Improved Cellular Function I am 66 years old. Using the glutathione supplement has changed my life. Yes, I have reentered life!
I experienced a significant benefit within 2 hours of using this product. I feel better now than I have in many years.
Here is my story.
I was in near perfect health, so I believed, through my late 50′s. Then I was assaulted by serious mental and physical health challenges.
I had been an outdoor enthusiast. I ran my first marathon at age 47. I ran at least one marathon a year for 10 consecutive years. I did a lot of mountain biking and backpacking into the backcountry. Also, I snow skied —- never at a high skill level, but I had the energy and strength to do it.
All that great outdoor stuff stopped when I became ill. I stopped exercising and gained 75 pounds. For several years I was not living life —- I was merely surviving from one day to the next.
I was diagnosed with severe depression and an anxiety disorder. Every day for at least 5 years, I had pains in my chest; some days it was only at an uncomfortable level, but most days the pain was excruciating.
I was committing many thinking errors. It adversely affected every area of my life, including financial, spiritual, and social.
Nothing seemed to deliver relief. I was hospitalized 3 times. I sought help from several different medical doctors. Many different pharmaceutical medicines were prescribed and used.
Still no relief.
I tried several alternative approaches to my health problems, including acupuncture, hypnosis and chiropractic. Nothing worked.
I spent a week with a holistic practitioner in Mexico. It didn’t help.
Many well intended people gave me advice – what to do – what to eat – what to drink – what to swallow, etc. Nothing worked.
I decided to take an early retirement. I retired from my career in 2003. Life was still very hard.
Then I decided to move from Utah to Hawaii. I made the move early November, 2006. I believe that helped, but I was still hurting.
I woke up every morning with turmoil in my chest. I can best describe it by reporting that it felt like cats inside my chest clawing.
Sometime late December, 2006, I learned about glutathione supplement. I began using it mid-January, 2007.
This is what happened. Within an hour or two after I first took the supplement, I felt softening of the anxiety in my chest. The pain went away, and has not returned. It is an absolute miracle.
But the softening of the anxiety per se, is not the most miraculous part of my experience. Not only was my anxiety going down, but my energy was increasing.
Never before had I taken anything, good or bad, that increased my energy and also reduced the anxiety. Usually when my energy increased, my anxiety cranked up.
So, my first two noticeable benefits were my anxiety reduced and my energy went up.
Here are some other benefits I noticed:
Better sleep – that is, more restful slumber
Natural color returning to my hair
Old scar tissue on my right shin repairing
Increased desire to accomplish things each day
Increased sense of well being
I do not use any prescribed medications. I feel discouraged sometimes, but I no longer suffer from depression; I know the difference.
Yes, using this product has changed my life. It is true that I feel better than I have in many years.
I am not yet back to the point to where I thought I was enjoying near perfect health. But, that is now up to me. I know I need to exercise more, and shed some pounds.
There is more, but I think I have captured, and shared the essence of my experience using the revolutionary product.
RESTLESS LEG SYNDROME, EYESIGHT, ARTHRITIS PAIN, DEPRESSION Shirley, Improved Cellular Function and Mood I am 68 years of age. I have always been in very good health, eat organically and am a competitive athlete enjoying a great deal of energy. In 1995, I was run over by a car while practicing for a triathlon and had my leg crushed. I was 4 years in physio, in and out of a wheelchair along with 3 operations. The end result was —— no more running, limited walking, leg could not fully extend and the pain of arthritis began.
I also suffered for many years with familial arthritis in my hands, twisted, swollen fingers along with 24/7 pain. I always continued with a healthy lifestyle, exercising regularly, Tai Chi and walking the doggies. I did not let the pain stop me from keeping fit. I was known among my friends as the gal who could do anything regardless of how difficult it was. I was a bit of a role model for some.
In 2006, my life changed for the worse, I became more and more depressed, had a total lack of energy, my previous mental drive became “mush” and it was all I could do to drag myself for my doggies’ daily walks. I was in fear of becoming one of those ‘old ladies’ that lie around eating bon-bons. It was hard to believe it was me!
The end of February 2007, I first took the glutathione supplement and three days later I returned with the vitality and drive that I had always enjoyed! I am talking three DAYS, not years! I was back to being me. Yes I still had pain BUT, 3 days after starting the supplement (2 packets a day) I commented to my husband that my eyesight was clearer as was my mental focus. It continued to improve to the point that I no longer used my glasses while driving at night. After four months I had my eyes checked by my specialist and he confirmed that yes indeed, “your eyesight has improved!”
My mental focus changed immediately from being in a depressed state to one of —- excitement waking to a new day! I felt absolutely wonderful and in such a positive state. I have suffered from Restless Legs Syndrome and that was gone within a month —– that was a delightful surprise. The next to go was the pain of arthritis —- it took 5 weeks. Now my rings spin on my fingers, no leg pain, and I can enjoy lying down in bed. I am now back on the treadmill, doing walk/run for one hour at an incline and practicing for the New York Marathon. My gym workout is 3 days a week. When I complete my walk/run (which I increase on a 2-week basis), I drop down and do 60 FULL pushups, then do stretches and yoga poses. I also do Tai Chi weekly and Pilates. I also run my own business. My life is good —- really good!
SEVERE PAIN – SPONDYLOLISTHESIS Cindy, Improved Cell Function & Anti-Inflammation Hi, my name is Cindy M. I’ve suffered with severe scoliosis since I was 12 years of age. I also have a lower back problem that caused my scoliosis; which is known as Spondylolisthesis. I was in severe pain. I went through surgery at 13 and was in a body cast for 9 months and in bed for 6 months. I couldn’t sit up or hang my leg off the bed. I was basically confined to my bed. They did the surgery to slow the curve down and I didn’t have your typical surgery that you would have for scoliosis, because of my Spondylolisthesis. I had a Harrington type pin placed in my lower back instead of rods. Prior to all of this I wore a Milwaukee brace for two years. It didn’t work because of my lower back, however. Now they would like to go in and put four Harrington rods in from top to bottom.
And also some stainless-steel pins in the front to secure what they would have to do in the back. My doctor at University of Michigan has told me that he would like to tell me that he’s doing it to get rid of my pain but he is not. My spine’s not just curving, but it’s turning my torso and they would lie to try to stop that. I have suffered every day of my life with this pain. I have tried several different natural methods and I didn’t choose synthetic pain killers because this would be with me for the rest of my life, and I would have to take stronger doses with each passing year.
The day I was introduced to the glutathione supplement, I was in severe pain. I was very skeptical because of all the things I’ve tried. But I was always praying something would work. So I took the glutathione supplement and I went and rested because I didn’t think I was going to be able to go do errands that I had to do. Twenty minutes later, I started feeling better. I got up and started moving around and my pain was gone! I didn’t say anything to my family because I was still skeptical, wondering “was this really this supplement? How could it work this fast?”
So I finished the week’s supply and two days went by without the glutathione supplement and I felt like I had been hit by a Mack truck. I was back to severe pain, calling everyone to see if I could get some more. I’ve never done crack, but I felt like an addict. I was looking for that fix. At that point I knew that it was the glutathione supplement. It’s been almost four months now, and the glutathione supplement has changed my life. My quality of life has never been this good since I was a little girl. I know everybody is different. It might not work on some people as fast as it did on me, but it was like the forest fire was put out on my back. I still have scoliosis but I’m not living with pain anymore.
FIBROMYALGIA & OSTEOARTHRITIS Joanne, Improved Cellular Function I am 61 years young — feeling like I’m 39 and holding due to the glutathione supplement! I can think more clearly now (less senior moments), major pain nearly gone -more energy. I love to dance and there is no more lactic acid after dancing or exercise! Inflammation is the cause of almost all pain but with the glutathione supplement and my positive attitude, I am experiencing major pain relief. But my life wasn’t always this enriched — healthwise!
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and osteoarthritis back in the late ‘80′s — early 90′s. I have been in pain since that time! Fibromyalgia is a condition where you hurt all over your body. I would take over-the-counter pain medicine to help with the pain —- but it would help for a short time only. My doctor gave me antidepressants a few years ago. I told him that I wasn’t depressed. He told me that antidepressants work for the pain of fibromyalgia. So I went home and tried it. I took one tablet —- a few minutes later I was sick to my stomach. I threw the pills in the garbage. So over the years I put up with the pain, dealing with it as best I could. Due to this condition, I only slept 3-4 hours a night as well. And we all know that as we sleep — our bodies are repairing themselves. A person needs their proper sleep or they can’t function the next day!
But since learning about the glutathione supplement — I’ve been taking it since July 9, 2007 noticing AMAZING RESULTS within 48 HOURS! First of all, I noticed my pain was not as bad as it used to be — my arms and legs had a lot less pain. As the days went by, the pain got even less! I have a great sleep every night now and energy galore. An amazing supplement!
MACULAR DEGENERATION & ITCHY SKIN Kay, Improved Cellular Function This is Kay C. I am almost 96 years young and live in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. Since starting on the glutathione supplement about seven months ago, I have had a number of positive changes, but for one in particular, I am most grateful.
For several months I had been having a problem with my right eye being sore and “fuzzy” and I was using drops several times a day. I was afraid I was losing the sight in that eye. An eye doctor told me I had macular degeneration, confirmed later by an eye specialist. Neither gave me any positive help. Three days after starting on the glutathione supplement, I looked in the mirror and was surprised to note I could see a “little bit” better. After eight days, I was looking out the window and could not believe how well I could see, and couldn’t remember when I had stopped using eye drops. That is the way the supplement works — all of the sudden you notice a positive change in problems that you were just living with as part of life. For example, itchy skin disappeared after many years, my hearing is a “bit” better, and I’m sleeping better. My right foot had intermittently been very painful. It was thought to be gout but recent blood tests showed it was not. Although the pain had gone, I had swelling and inflammation. One day noticed that was gone. I also had shooting pains in different parts of my body, especially at night, but recently noticed they have disappeared. My energy level is great and at almost 96, I am living a very happy, healthy and active life. I have invitations out for my 100th birthday!
ILEITIS & LYMPHEDEMA Xarhis, Improved Cellular Function and Anti-Inflammation I am absolutely excited about this glutathione supplement because it helped me with two major health concerns: ileitis and lymphedema! The ileitis inflammation was located in the “terminal ileum” (area of the small intestine) just before the ileocecal valve to the large intestine. Apparently, this condition started some months prior from food poisoning. Over a period of months and delays in getting a correct diagnosis, I began to experience ongoing significant pain in the lower right area of my abdomen. It got to the point I literally could not sit, stoop, bend, wear tight clothing or walk without PAIN! Certain foods began to bother me, as well. The only way to get relief was to eat bland food, wear a robe and be in a reclining position.
Finally, I had a CT scan that showed “thickening” in that area attributable to infection and inflammation. Upon seeing a specialist in gastroenterology, I was given an antibiotic for the “infection” (presumably, caused by an amoeba), but was told the “inflammation” would take a “long, long time” to heal. In fact, the specialist informed me that since this condition had been left that long, he believed this thickening could very well already be ulcerated putting me at risk for Crohn’s disease. The recourse for that would be surgery or Prednisone. I wanted neither. I was encouraged to have a colonoscopy after the antibiotic. However, I postponed this exam because I felt 90 percent better and had “some” continued pain. I also had an Alaskan cruise I wanted to take two weeks later; and I was concerned about the risk of possible perforation by the camera used in the exam (in my mind) designed for a colon and not a much smaller ileum.
All of this was stressful to me because in 1994 I faced the big “C” of cancer and I certainly didn’t want to face another big “C” for Crohn’s disease! I knew several people who had it and I didn’t want it. Being into natural health alternatives, I started on chlorophyll capsules and concentrated whole leaf aloe vera. It seemed to help some, but I was still having pain and knew I wasn’t well enough for me to believe I could make the cruise.
I heard about the glutathione supplement and obtained a week’s supply. On the first day, I noticed a lot of energy. By the second day, I began to have less pain and within days I was actually able to increase my activities. After only taking eight (8) packets of the supplement, I saw my physical therapist for a scheduled manual lymphedema massage. (During my bout with *** cancer, I worked with natural herbs in lieu of chemo or radiation and my cancer was gone, but I was still left with lymphedma. My surgeon removed auxiliary lymph nodes, although I was assured they would not be.) My therapist, within a few minutes of putting her hands on me, asked excitedly, “What are you taking? What are you doing differently?!” The glutathione supplement had reduced some of the swelling from retained fluids and it softened much of the tissue that was usually hardened by trapped fluids from adhesions that would often take the therapist 20 minutes just to soften it. Immediately, she noticed my tissue was different. Never had it been like this during all the eight years she treated me, nor when I had taken chlorophyll or aloe vera in the past, so, it had to have been the glutathione supplement! (By the way, my lymphedema is still improving and I feel like I’m getting my life back.)
After only 14 packets of glutathione supplement, I also knew it had significantly helped my ileitis condition. There now was no question about packing for the trip! I was able to drive ten hours the first day toward Canada for the cruise, with no problem. Just two weeks prior, I still could not sit more than a half-hour without experiencing some level of pain.
I made the cruise and handled it fine: sitting, walking, climbing stairs, dancing, wearing my pretty “tight” clothes, eating whatever I wanted now (gained 9 pounds) and had no problems whatsoever! Upon returning home, I took only four packets of the supplement (making it a total of 18 packets) before my scheduled colonoscopy and “knew” even before the exam that I was fine —- and I was! The specialist took the camera into the ileum and it was normal.

In the past few years, emergent disease episodes have increased; nearly all have involved zoonotic or species-jumping infectious agents. Because there is no way to predict when or where the next important new zoonotic pathogen will emerge or what its ultimate importance might be, investigation at the first sign of emergence of a new zoonotic disease is particularly important. Such investigation may be described in terms of a discovery-to-control continuum: from recognition of a new disease in a new setting to complex phases involving the hard science disciplines pertaining to discovery, the epidemiologic sciences pertaining to risk assessment, and activities pertaining to risk management. Today, many activities involving zoonotic disease control are at risk because of a failed investigative infrastructure or financial base. Because zoonotic diseases are distinct, their prevention and control will require unique strategies, based more on fundamental research than on traditional approaches. Such strategies require that we rebuild a cadre of career-committed professionals with a holistic appreciation of several medical and biologic sciences.
Predicting the Emergence of Zoonotic and Species-Jumping Pathogens
In general, there is no way to predict when or where the next important new zoonotic pathogen will emerge or what its ultimate importance might be. A pathogen might emerge as the cause of a geographically limited curiosity, intermittent disease outbreaks, or a new epidemic. No one could have predicted the emergence or zoonotic nature of the bovine spongiform encephalopathy prion in cattle in the United Kingdom in 1986, the emergence or zoonotic potential of Sin Nombre virus as the cause of Hantavirus pulmonary syndrome in the Southwest in 1993, and certainly not the species-jumping emergence of HIV as the cause of AIDS in 1981. Consequently, investigation at the first sign of emergence of a new zoonotic disease is particularly important, although the investigation usually resembles a field- and laboratory-based research project rather than a typical case-control-based outbreak investigation. This reality must drive strategic planning for dealing with new zoonotic diseases.
Factors Contributing to the Emergence of Zoonotic Diseases
Many elements can contribute to the emergence of a new zoonotic disease: microbial/virologic determinants, such as mutation, natural selection, and evolutionary progression; individual host determinants, such as acquired immunity and physiologic factors; host population determinants, such as host behavioral characteristics and societal, transport, commercial, and iatrogenic factors; and environmental determinants, such as ecologic and climatologic influences. Emergence of new zoonotic pathogens seems to be accelerating for several reasons: global human and livestock animal populations have continued to grow, bringing increasingly larger numbers of people and animals into close contact; transportation has advanced, making it possible to circumnavigate the globe in less than the incubation period of most infectious agents; ecologic and environmental changes brought about by human activity are massive; and bioterroristic activities, supported by rogue governments as well as organized amateurs, are increasing, and in most instances the infectious agents of choice seem to be zoonotic.
Ecologic Factors Contributing to the Emergence of Zoonotic Diseases, as Exemplified by Arboviruses Diseases
Contributing to the emergence of zoonotic diseases is the capacity of microorganisms and viruses to adapt to extremely diverse and changing econiches. One of the most complex sets of adaptations concerns the arboviruses and their transmission by specific arthropods. When ecosystems are altered, disease problems of humans and animals follow. Population movements and the intrusion of humans and domestic animals into arthropod habitats have resulted in emergent disease episodes, some of which are the stuff of fiction. The classic example is the emergence of yellow fever when humans entered the Central American jungle to build the Panama Canal—many contemporary examples suggest that similar events will continue to occur. Deforestation and settlement of new tropical forest and farm margins have exposed farmers and domestic animals to new arthropods and the viruses they carry. Mayaro and Oropouche virus infections in Brazilian woodcutters who cleared the Amazonian forest in recent years is a case in point. The opening up of isolated ecosystems has contributed to emergent disease episodes. Remote econiches, such as islands, with immunologically naive potential reservoir hosts and vectors are often particularly vulnerable to an introduced virus. For example, the initial Pacific island-hopping of Ross River virus in the 1980s from its original econiche in Australia caused “virgin soil” epidemics of arthritis-myalgia syndrome in Fiji and Samoathis virus will surely reemerge. Increased long-distance air travel facilitates the movement of infected persons and exotic arthropod vectors around the world. The introduction of the Asian mosquito Aedes albopictus to the United States in water contained in used tires represents an unsolved problem of this kind. Increased long-distance livestock transportation facilitates the movement of viruses and arthropods (especially ticks) around the world. The introduction and emergence of African swine fever virus from Africa into the Americas in the 1960s and 1970s seem prophetic; although this virus is not zoonotic (it does not infect humans), this experience should raise the question concerning possible transport of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus or other tick-borne pathogens to new locales. Ecologic factors pertaining to uncontrolled urbanization and environmental pollution are contributing to many emergent disease episodes. Arthropod vectors breeding in accumulations of water (e.g., tin cans, old tires) and sewage-laden water are a problem worldwide. Environmental chemical toxicants (herbicides, pesticides, residues) can also affect vector-virus relationships directly or indirectly. Ecologic factors related to expanding primitive irrigation systems are becoming important in virus disease emergence, as exemplified by the emergence of Japanese encephalitis in newly developed rice-growing areas of southern Asia. New routings of long-distance bird migrations, brought about by new man-made water impoundments, represent an important yet still untested risk of introduction of arboviruses into new areas. Global warming, which affects sea level, estuarine wetlands, fresh water swamps, and human habitation patterns, may also be affecting vector-virus relationships throughout the tropics; however, data are scarce and long-term programs to study the effect of global warming have too often not included the participation of tropical medicine experts. Of all the ecologic factors contributing to arthropod-borne zoonotic viral disease emergence, uncontrolled urbanization is the most important. The mega cities of the tropics, with their lack of sanitary systems, serve as incubators for emerging Zoonoses—they represent the most difficult zoonotic disease risks of the next century.
Lessons from Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis Epidemics
Past Venezuelan equine encephalitis epidemics provide lessons regarding today’s zoonotic disease prevention and control systems. In 1971, as the virus crossed from Mexico into Texas, agricultural disease control authorities were prepared to start shooting and burying horses in a massive slaughter campaign. There is another lesson from the 1971 and 1995 Venezuelan equine encephalitis epidemics. Thirty years ago the arboviruses community was large, very experienced in field work and disease control actions, and holistic in perspective and expertise. Arbovirologists were able to bring together all necessary expertise—entomology and vector biology, ecology, mammology, ornithology, epidemiology, and virology. However, today this community, like so many others supporting zoonotic public health programs, is very small, rather poorly experienced in field work, and scientifically fragmented. Experts on mosquito biology, genetics, ecology, and vector competence are becoming more and more separated from the people in local mosquito control agencies who are expected to terminate epidemics.
Lessons from the Equine Morbillivirus Outbreak in Australia
Recent experiences in Australia with a new morbillivirus disease add still more lessons in zoonotic disease prevention and control. In 1994, horses on a property in Queensland developed acute respiratory distress with hemorrhagic manifestations—14 of 21 infected horses died. A horse trainer and a stable-hand became ill after nursing a sick horse—the trainer died. The disease was found to be caused by a previously unknown morbillivirus. Remarkably, in 1996 fruit bats (flying foxes) were found to be the natural host of the virus. Studies are under way to unravel these findings.
Lessons from Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever Epidemics
Should we be concerned about Ebola virus? Is there a risk to Africa that compares with the everyday problems of other Zoonoses such as malaria or yellow fever? Is there a risk to people in North America or Europe? If the worst that might happen is an occasional importation resulting in a small cluster of cases, should we be concerned? If the time and place of such episodes are unpredictable, should we not just wait and react after the fact? The risk reflected in these questions is difficult to evaluate because we know so little. However, we can say that as western-style hospitals become more affordable for Africans, nosocomial Ebola amplification will increase, and epidemics will get larger. These viruses and the diseases they cause need to be understood because the risk they represent is unknown and the risk for future episodes is so unpredictable—the same should be said in regard to all similarly lethal zoonotic pathogens. For example, we need to find the natural reservoir of Ebola virus and learn how its prevalence in its natural environment and how transmission to humans are regulated. In Africa, the emergence of Ebola virus could dramatically increase if its still unknown reservoir host(s) increased, the virus changed its behavior, or ecologic factors brought additional reservoir hosts into play. We need to know enough to detect such changes quickly. The concerned public would not be satisfied if public health leaders decided on a wait-and-see approach for dealing with Ebola hemorrhagic fever or other diseases with similar pathogenic potential. Dealing with Ebola virus and similar very dangerous infectious agents need not be thought of as so expansive or expensive as to be unrealistic. Field-based epidemiologic studies are needed; diagnostic systems require better placement in laboratories in Africa. Training is a major need—not through short courses, but rather through advanced career training and experience; transcending these is the need for an expanded research base, which in turn requires more national laboratory facilities and resources for work at biosafety level (BSL) 4. These needs must be met in all industrialized countries on behalf of developing countries.
Lessons from Rabies Epidemics
Rabies provides many lessons in how viral adaptation contributes to emergence in new econiches. Often, the necessary ecologic elements are in place and the recipe for emergence simply involves the introduction of virus; a dramatic illustration was the appearance of epidemic raccoon rabies in the eastern United States. The epidemic was traced to raccoons imported from Florida to West Virginia in 1977—as usual, human perturbation of an ecosystem, in this instance involving the transport of wild raccoons from an endemic site, caused trouble. One key to our understanding of this episode was the discovery that rabies virus is not one virus; rather, it is a set of different genotypes, each transmitted within a separate reservoir host econiche. In North America, there are six terrestrial animal genotypes, including the raccoon virus genotype. Raccoons bite raccoons that bite raccoons, and after some time, their virus becomes a distinct genotype, highly adapted to the host cycle. When the full significance of this discovery was realized, many mysteries of rabies ecology were clarified.
Lessons from the Hantavirus Pulmonary Syndrome Epidemic
In 1993, hantavirus pulmonary syndrome was first recognized in the southwestern United States. Cases have been found in 28 states; as of 1997, more than 164 cases had been confirmed in the United States and more than 400 throughout the Americas—the death rate has been approximately 45%. At the beginning of the investigation, serologic tests provided the first clue about the nature of the causative virus. Viral RNA was amplified from patient specimens, and a previously unknown hantavirus, now named Sin Nombre virus, was uncovered. The laboratory and field work resembled fundamental field- and laboratory-based research, not a traditional outbreak investigation. Sin Nombre virus and its relatives could only be dealt with in laboratories with the most sophisticated molecular biologic and immunologic technologies, the most expert staff scientists, and the kind of global perspective seen in WHO international reference centers.
Lessons from the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy Epidemic in Cattle and New-Variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease in Humans
Bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in the United Kingdom may provide more lessons than any other recent emergent zoonotic disease episode. The disease was first diagnosed in the United Kingdom in 1986; as of 1997, more than 170,000 cattle had been reported as infected, but modern statistical methods have indicated that about one million cattle had been infected, roughly half of which entered the human food chain in the United Kingdom. In 1995, the BSE agent was reported to be the cause of a new human zoonotic disease, new-variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. By 1997, 26 cases had been reported in the United Kingdom and one in France. A recent report from The Royal Society states that there is now a compelling case regarding new-variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease as the human manifestation of BSE. With such a small number of cases, it is impossible to predict future numbers of cases of the human disease, but clearly the damage to the livestock and related food industries of the United Kingdom will continue. BSE may be instructive in other ways, especially in its extension into the worlds of macroeconomics, international trade, political science, and even global governance.
The Discovery-to-Control Continuum as Applied to Zoonotic Diseases
Initial investigation at the first sign of emergence of a new zoonotic disease must focus on practical characteristics such as death rate, severity of disease, transmissibility, and remote spread, all of which are important predictors of epidemic potential and societal risk. Various elements of a discovery-to-control continuum are usually called for: discovery, the recognition of a new zoonotic disease in a new setting; epidemiologic field investigation; etiologic investigation; diagnostics development; focused research; technology transfer; training and outreach; and ultimately control, elimination, and eradication. Of course, not all of these elements are appropriate in every emerging zoonotic disease episode—decisions must be made and priorities must be set. In the initial phases in the discovery-to-control continuum, people outside the “citadel” (the traditional federal community of investigators and officials) must be recognized—local clinicians, pathologists (including medical examiners and forensic pathologists), veterinarians and animal scientists, ecologists, wildlife scientists, as well as local public health officials, many of whom have not been enamored of their experiences in dealing with those inside the citadel. The important early role of primary diagnostic laboratories and the reference laboratory networks that support them must also be recognized. In this era of the primacy of molecular microbiology and virology, it bears reminding that many of the early investigative activities surrounding the identification of a possibly emergent zoonotic disease must be carried out in the field, not in the laboratory. In the intermediate phases in the discovery-to-control continuum, the continuum progresses to the general area of risk management, the area represented not by the question what’s going on here? but by the question what are we going to do about it? This phase may include expansion of many elements: technology transfer involving diagnostics development and proof testing, vaccine and drug development and proof testing, sanitation and vector control, and medical and veterinary care activities and their adaptation to the circumstances of the disease locale; commercialization, where appropriate, of diagnostics, vaccines, and therapeutic agents in quantities needed and provision of these materials through nongovernment organizations or government sources; training, outreach, continuing education, and public education, each requiring professional expertise and adaptation to the special circumstances of the disease locale; and communications, employing the technologies of the day such as the Internet and professional expertise. Further along the discovery-to-control continuum, activities become more complex. Frustration often occurs at intermediate points as administrators and politicians drag their feet in regard to resource allocation. This frustration, in turn, drives scientists back to their laboratories, to the world of research, to the front end of the continuum. Younger scientists, particularly, become cynical of the harsh political world of risk management, even though this is the arena in which their discoveries must prove themselves. More expensive and specialized expertise and resources come into play in the final phases of the discovery-to-control continuum: public health systems, including rapid case-reporting systems, surveillance systems, vital records and disease registers, staffing and staff support, logistic support, legislation and regulation, and expanded administration; special clinical systems, including isolation of cases, quarantine, and patient care; and public infrastructure systems, including sanitation and sewerage, safe food and water supplies, and reservoir host and vector control.
Conclusions
Who will be the world’s doctor? Who will be the world’s expert on zoonotic diseases? Their answers have been in the form of proposals and funding requests to expand global disease surveillance, diagnostics, communications, and emergency response systems, a global training program, and a global stable funding base. However, somewhat distinct strategies are needed to deal specifically with emerging zoonotic diseases, and these strategies have not been fully developed. Examples have been given in this paper to suggest that these strategies must involve more of a field and laboratory research enterprise than a traditional surveillance and reference diagnostics enterprise. In some cases, it is not even clear who might do the focused applied research that must underpin advances in zoonotic disease prevention and control. In present circumstances, where the survival of institutions is at stake, turf battles are exacerbated, and competition rather than cooperation between academic institutions and government agencies ensues.
South Africa: Branding that Brings a New Awareness

Sand Dams – Excellent Development in Kenya
Excellent Development works with community self-help groups in semi-arid Africa to improve their environment sustainably. Effective soil and water conservation enable improved water supply, food security, health and incomes.
Sand dams are a key technology to improve water supply in semi-arid regions. A sand dam is a reinforced concrete wall built across seasonal river beds – 2 to 4 metres high and up to 90 metres across. Over one to three seasons, the dam fills up with water, then sand, which filters water clean and protects it from evaporation and parasites. About 40% of the volume behind the dam is water, meaning that sand dams can hold an incredible 2 to 10 million litres of water!
Sand dams are combined with land terracing and tree planting to improve the conservation of both soil and water, enabling farmers to grow more food on their land. This holistic approach to development creates a positive cycle of improvement which allows people to change their lives sustainably, moving away from a situation where water and food are in short supply, towards water and food security.

Comparison Between A Holistic And A Qualified Treatment Program In California
When looking for a treatment program in California, there are many decisions that need to be made. One of the most important of these decisions is whether to go ahead with a holistic treatment program or to accept a more conventional qualified treatment program. The decision here pegs on various factors. The following are some points that you have to consider. But first, you must know the difference between the qualified treatment programs and the holistic treatment program in California.
Programs that are approved by the state for addiction treatment in California are called as qualified programs. These programs are quite similar to ones that are outlines on the national substance abuse websites such as those of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the National Institute of Drug Abuse and the National Clearinghouse. This is where the qualified treatment programs of a national level are outlined. The programs that are qualified in California are based on these programs; however, there can be some alterations and modifications to better suit the requirements of the state. However, these alterations will be minor subtle points and nothing that changes the overall policy of theory of the programs.
The qualified treatment programs in California include programs such as the outpatient treatment programs, the inpatient treatment programs with detoxification, the inpatient treatment programs without detoxification, the rehabilitation programs, the day treatment programs, the residential treatment programs, the partial hospitalization programs, etc.
The holistic treatment programs, on the other hand, are the unqualified treatment programs. These are not approved by the state and are mostly conducted in private rehab centers. These include techniques such as the herbal detox programs, the massage therapies, the acupuncture and acupressure programs, the aromatherapy programs, the Yoga and other meditation therapy programs, etc. All these programs have not been qualified in the state; however, they are still predominantly used in the state for addiction treatment. They are quite popular also, judging by the way people enroll for these programs.
Now, when you are trying to choose between any one of these programs, it could be a dilemma which one to go ahead with. Here are the points of comparison that can help you decide:-
1. First and foremost, you should know that the qualified treatment programs in the state are those that are approved by the state authorities. That in itself becomes a very important plus point. These programs are tried and tested by medical experts of the state and even of the nation. Hence, the programs can be a better and safer choice. The holistic programs are, at best, experimental. Though they might have success stories to corroborate with their claims, they do not have the state approval that is deemed quite important when it comes to something as sensitive as addiction treatment.
2. The second point is that the holistic treatment programs will be a lot costlier than the qualified treatment programs. This is because most of the holist treatment methods are conducted within private treatment centers. The state approved programs are run in state run centers. For that reason, they might get some financial help from the state, which helps in considerably reducing the costs of the treatment. There is also the advantage of the easy payment plans that most of these state programs will provide you with. The holistic treatment centers will not be able to provide such plans mostly because they do not get any help from the state themselves.
3. The insurance companies are much more likely to cover for a qualified treatment program in California than a holistic treatment program. This is because of the state approval that these programs have. The insurance companies look upon them as safe bets and a willing to cover for them. That further eases your financial burden of the treatment.
4. You can rest assured about the licenses and other qualifications when it comes to the state approved programs. However, this may be a problem in the holistic programs. The same applies to the licenses that the treatment providers must carry.
5. However, the holistic programs win on several counts too. Like, you get better accommodation facilities in most of these centers for the simple reason that they are conducted in private rehab centers. Hence, these programs are the first choices for the rich and the famous. Also, these centers do not make you wait for getting an admission. You can get yourself or someone else checked into these centers on the same day as the treatment begins.
