Hi: According to a scientist yesterday in Winnipeg, where the Canadian equivalent to the CDC is, in 40% of SARS patients, he can find no virus. He stated that he is not sure that the corona virus acutally causes the disease. Apparently they are still researching this and the book has not been written yet.
There are web sites out there declaring that SARS is a scam. All I can say is that the fright that is being created and the news stories and laws being enacted may be a scam. BUT the disease itself is very real and very nasty. Although there have only been 15 deaths in Canada so far, there are people in intensive care wards that are hanging on by a thread, people whos' liver and kidnies have shut down and are on ventilators. Nurses who have gone home, adhered to all the protocols of isolation given to them at the time, have given it to their loved ones and extended families. Although they were young enough to recover, some of their families are the ones hanging on by a thread. A lot can be said about getting these people onto natural remedies but current legislation is preventing visitors from adequately visiting their loved ones to administer any kind of alternative therapy. Right now, one person is being allowed in once a day to see an immediate relative only who is in critical care. At our hospital, a security guard walks the visitor up to the patient's room and when they finished visiting, they are escorted by guard back to the entrance of the hospital. The security guards don't have guns here in Canada but you can be sure that will not be the case in every jurisdiction. Anyone not considered critical or dying is being denied visitors of any kind. So for those folks who are saying " get them on this and get them on that" , it is not always possible and it's unfair to say they should when they can not. It only makes the families feel guilty and worsens the situtation. They would do better to get together in groups and pray for their loved ones. People can relate their aetheism but when a loved one is on death's door, many people turn to prayer or to the power and authority of the intended spoken word if one wishes to call it that and favourable results are often obtained. Every day, there are new isolation regulations for nurses to adhere to as they say they find out new things about its spread. Yesterday we used one method, today we are using a new method and tomorrow it may be different again. We are left to wonder about the four weeks when we didn't use the method we are going to use tomorrow - if you catch the drift of it. Interestingly enough, there are more SARS cases in the USA than in Canada and there have been for several days. Why are we not seeing this in the news? Why are we not hearing what US cities have these patients like we hear every day in Canada? Why is Canada being targeted? Why is Toronto being targeted? It is to further cripple airline, bus and train companies, to further restrict the freedom to travel and to further restrict other rights and freedoms? Is it a long range plan to introduce yet another contaminated vaccine for mass innoculation? These are questions that beg to be answered. See. http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/pphb-dgspsp/sars-sras/eu-ae/sars20030418_e.html#inter national Here you will find current international figures for SARS cases. As of today Singapore has more cases and more deaths than Canada. Why aren't we hearing about this on our news when it is there on our government web site infront of God and everyone? Just blowing off some steam here. I just spent 13 hours caring for a SARS patient in intensive care. Incidently, 45 of my collegues got hit with it, 16 of whom I worked with directly during the period of getting it. When the SARS didn't kill them, the drugs nearly did. Just about all who were hospitalized came home severely depressed, anemic, weak and short of breath. I didn't get it - but, I'm tired, worn out and even when I get rest from a few days off, it only takes a day or two at work to get tired out again. Hope this is informative and lends some credibility to the illness. Ian -- The silver-list is a moderated forum for discussion of colloidal silver.
