Momentum building in Richmond VA for a significant new bio-med-science initiative project

Sunday, March 14th, 2010

This is something that can be either a small serious long-term benefit or a fast-tracker with benefits that span multiple aspects of what we have as public health and public safety/security crises.

The question is - will people help the small crew of recognized individuals who are trying to put it all together?

Will Reason prevail, or the ego-emotions that sometimes will block a new initiative just because it is not “theirs” - you know, the “not invented here” syndrome, or rather, the “not all mine” syndrome.

Well, for once there is a growing team of individuals all in (relatively) one place.

I am hoping people will help us. This is Not a matter of money - it is a matter of politics and people-connections.

So, can you help with the networking and people-connections in and around Richmond, Virginia?

Haven’t been adding much here because of the seeingly 7×24 demands on time for work - and finding work (i.e., that pays, not just “thanks” or “how about some more free information?”)

At any rate, here are good places to find out more, and there will be periodic updates and upgrades:

WE ASK YOU TO HELP US TO BE ABLE TO HELP YOU AND OTHERS - WE NEED SUPPORT FINANCIALLY, AND IN THE VERY “Dark” WORLD OF POLITICS AND BIG “Cattle Baron” (or is it more like “Cattle Rustler”) companies that are dominating, hogging the $$$ trough, but producing not much of value for the general population and especially those groups most at risk.

Advice about Vaccine Concerns

Monday, October 26th, 2009

I had almost finished a detailed comment to you, Andie, and some FB-mixup zapped it. Here’s a shorter one.
Many diffs between H1N1 vaccine of today and std vaccines for influenza-A, or other vaccines for polio, smallpox, and many other diseases. I will try to write a short, clear article and post in here or on the “Daily Vlog” (http://tetradyn.net/blog).
Briefly - today the H1N vaccine in the USA is not well tested, and may not be effective due to mutations that may (sorry to use “may” so much, but that is just the fact of the medical uncertainties) have already occurred.
Is there a known high-probability danger to taking the H1N1 vaccine? Not definite. Will it help a person? Possibly, likely, but not definite.
Should you be worried because you cannot get it? Definitely NO, and we are trying to bring out CRAIDO and our work and information to help people in this respect. There are preventive, prophylactic, personal measures to avoid and to minimize H1N1 apart from any vaccine! This is what is important to know. We are tryint to help, and yes, there are efforts to shut-us-up, esp. in Virginia - thus we ask for help.
We will write more - please check all our links, and most of all, focus on reducing stress, keeping your family aware, practicing avoidance measures, and that includes avoidance of contact situations. Lysol btw will not help!!!

Highlights - vaccine and med shortages, public panic - but there are no reasons for panic

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

OK, just the highlights here, and I will write more tomorrow. But for God’s sake, people, listen and think, there is No reason for panic over vaccine shortages or the fear-factor about H1N1.  It can be minimized even if you come down with it, and by being reasonable, You will be doing the best possible help for those who are most at-risk and in-need for special care.

So, some recent facts from today’s news -

46 states - widespread H1N1 and increasing.

95% of college campuses are heavily hit by H1N1.

2500 currently or recently hospitalized, at minimum, at present.

90 dead, 11 children dead, recently.

This is all from NBC News so you can verify.

Critical shortages, lineups, public getting frantic, in Milwaukee, Los Angeles, Cincinnati, Rockville MD, Portland, Las Vegas, and of course Virginia

Only 11.6M vaccines available for the foreseeable future.

Now, please listen and read carefully.

There is no reason to panic  or to line-up for hours and days.

What people need to do is take preventive measures and this means doing a number of actions simultaneously. Yes, it is effort, it requires attention, but it is better than panicking or spending hours in lines outdoors, risking more infection, and reducing immune strength.

1. MINIMIZE close contact.  Control the direction of your breath intake.

2. Eat well and eat properly.  This includes normal, balanced meals and vitamins.  Focus on balance, and that means type and quantity.

3. AVOID SMOKING and that includes secondary smoke.

4. AVOID anything approaching excess drinking - Never get “Drunk”.

5. MINIMIZE stress, aggravation, worry, anxiety.

6. Avoid rapid changes in heat and cold and exposure to cold-inducing elements (e.g., cold rain).

7. TALK. Especially to your children.  LISTEN.  Nobody comes down with the flu without a gradual set of symptoms. If they are pushed off, not addressed, this can be the matter of life and death.  Take care also with the most important at-home treatment - REST.  Reduction of physical exhaustion. Plenty of sleep, warmth, and clear, clean air.  Cut out not only the smoke but the grease and any irritants from cooking.

8. If you think this sounds simplistic, just consult the medical books and your doctor, and pay attention to history.  Remember - not everyone died from the 1918 Flu.
