Did you know this about the flu and do you care?
WHY DO PEOPLE need religion? Some would say that humans turn to spiritual matters in order to find security in an insecure world. But there is more to it than that. An article in the journal American Sociological Review noted: “The need for security is not the only attraction of religion. People have always sought answers to such questions as: Where do we come from? Where are we going? Why are we here?”No doubt you would agree that those are profoundly important questions. As such, do they not require reliable answers? Such questions are too important, too weighty, to be resolved by simply selecting religious beliefs from various traditions because these appeal to us personally. If we are to find solid, reliable answers to life’s deeper questions, surely we need a better method. Is there something better? Ferrar Fenton, a translator of the Bible, said something remarkable about that book. He called it “the only key that unlocks the Mystery of the Universe to Man, and the Mystery of Man to Himself.” Yes, the Bible answers questions about the past, the present, and the future. It tells us where we came from, what the meaning of life is, how we can find happiness, and what the future holds for us. No other book in history has been as influential as the Bible; nor has any other book survived so many virulent attacks. Why, though, do so many disregard this unique book in their search for answers to life’s questions? Many people have not paused to consider the profound differences between the Bible and the churches they have known. They have seen how so-called Christians slaughter one another in God’s name. Many have complained, as The Guardian noted, that “priests are more interested nowadays in raising money than in pastoral visits.” They think, perhaps, that the Bible endorses or condones such behavior. The truth is, the Bible commands Christians to “love one another,” and it tells those who preach the word, “You received free, give free.” (John 13:34; Matthew 10:8) Is it fair, then, to judge the Bible by the deeds of people who claim to respect it but do not follow it? Many believe that the Bible is unscientific, self-contradictory, and old-fashioned. But a thorough investigation shows the opposite. Granted, the Bible is not a science textbook. Yet, when it does touch on subjects relating to science—such as the order in which living things appeared on earth, the shape of the earth, or the proper treatment of infectious diseases—the Bible says nothing incorrect. On the contrary, it contains statements that were centuries ahead of their time. And although the Bible is composed of 66 books written over a period of 1,600 years, all of them are in harmony with one another. Furthermore, the Bible exhibits extraordinary insight into human nature, making it as up-to-date today as ever. This remarkable book says something crucial about the worship of God. It says that such worship must be carried out, not on man’s terms, but on God’s terms. (John 5:30; James 4:13-15; 2 Peter 1:21) But few people have truly observed that principle. From earliest times men have made religions to suit their own purposes. That is true when people carve their gods from pieces of wood and worship them. It is true when religious institutions teach doctrines that they have invented. And is it not also true of those individuals who tailor a private religion to suit their own preferences? Consider an alternative. Why not do as a chief justice of the United States Supreme Court did? In the same way that he tried cases in court, he impartially investigated the evidence for and against the truthfulness of the Bible. With what result? He said: “I have come to the decision that the Bible is a supernatural book, that it has come from God.”How can you make a similar investigation yourself? As a suggestion, you might try a systematic study of the Bible, examining its answers to the questions raised at the outset of this article. There are nearly seven million of Jehovah’s Witnesses, who have made such a study. They volunteer their time in order to share with others what they have learned. The home Bible study course they offer without charge has helped millions to find a faith that is more than a fad or a matter of taste. The true, pure Christianity presented in the Bible is not just another religion. It represents the truth about God and his purposes. So why settle for less?—John 17:17.

Are there any medical schools with a solid infectious disease program?
McKenney
A variety of different medical schools have really good programs. The University of Virginia - Charlottseville is a great school for Cancer research. The University of Utah - SLC has a great pathology program (infectious diseases)The University of Wisconsin (Madison) is a major research facility which would have a great deal of research opportunities and learning opportunities for infectious diseases. I would recommend any of those above.
Jonesville
All medical schools teach the same material for the first two years. I would be more concerned with doing well in whatever medical school you think would give you the greatest clout when applying to residencies. Spanking the boards would be helpful as well. An exception to the above would be if you were interested in an md/phd. Then picking a top research school in infectious disease would be very important. Could someone at the CDC help out. I know that schools with high at risk patients might be good, like USC in California.
Kelso
They all have solid infectious disease programs. See the above advice about residencies. The University of Pennsylvania has experts in travel medicine and its veterinary school does great work in parasitology. Of course, if you really want to have fun you can go to school in a country where infectious diseases are rampant!
Latrobe
In my opinion, infectious disease is a dying discipline. The greater growth is in chronic disease (cancer, diabetes, gerontology) because we simply don't get a lot of really fascinating infectious diseases in the industrialized world. If you want to study ID in the US, I highly recommend Tulane because they have their School of Tropical Medicine. Very cool. However, after Hurricane Katrina, they decimated their faculty, so it may be hard to get what you need till they rebuild their infrastructure. You may also want to consider schools in Puerto Rico, the Caribbean and Mexico if you want to study ID -- these regions have a lot of infectious disease burden, so you will see interesting cases firsthand, and have lots of experience training on and treating them.

Creationists how come penicillin didn't end infectious disease?

Penicillin, the first antibiotic, was, at the time, labeled as the "wonder drug."it single-handedly reduced the death rate from diseases such as pneumonia by 1,800%. (statistics come from the comparison of death rates of world war 1 to after the use of penicillin in world war 2)if evolution is as ridiculous as you all say it is, then please explain to me how ~3/5 of all staph infections were penicillin resistant (statistic is derived from a post WWII analysis) in just 6 years after the mass production and mass use of this drug (since, due to the earlier statistic, only ~5.6% or 1/18 before were resistant.) where did the other 55.4% come from?

This is the basic of the science: organisms can vary within kind or/and devolve. These Scientific facts validates Biblical accounts. Thus, gene pools can become extinct but cannot reappear/evolve. Two gene pools from two different area can recombine & vary within kind to become more viable, but extinct (not separated) gene pools are gone forever. Devolution such as mutation is the opposite of evolution. Devolution is science. Evolution is against science. People got malaria. People with sickle cell anemia do not get malaria. Is sickle cell anemia the result of evolution process? If not, how come the people resist malaria? Think. Think, The answer: sickle cell anemia is not an evolution process. Sickle cell anemia is a devolution (mutation or degenerative) process that causes immunity to malaria. Now think about all those scientific facts and think how penicillin can become ineffective? Is it like malaria?

Because we all know viruses mutate when people talk about evolution as nonsense they are talking about macro evolution, the ones that mention animals and humans evolved from one animal to another, this is only speculation and has not be observed by the human eye.

Many creationists accept that organisms can adapt slightly, yet they can't accept the fact that enough time worth of adaptions can lead to the emergence of new species.

From what I've read, most of them believe in micro-evolution, the little changes, but not macro, the big changes.
Mount Clemens
Simple adaptation. God made all his creation to be very adaptable. It has nothing to do with evolution.

My fundie sister uses words like micro evolution and adaptation. Aren't they cute?

Wow, you have totally demolished the straw man you set up. Beautiful, but worthless. Creationists have always believed in the great variety of information held within DNA such that viruses, bacteria, plants and animals can change within their species. The evidence for such change, as you so cleverly note, is obvious to the most casual observer. However, no one has ever produced any significant evidence that one species can change into another species. Consider the 10s of thousands of generations that fruit flies have gone through in the arena of science. All that radiation and the other DNA transforming assaults...and what do we have....fruit flies.... some pretty bizarre fruit flies, but fruit flies.... science has never even made a fruit fly produce a house fly. Game, set, match.

Is pneumonia an infectious disease?
Swissvale
Yes, pneumonia is infectious, and it can be life threatening. It can be either bacterial or viral. Bacterial pneumonia can usually be successfully treated using antibiotics. Viral pneumonia requires rest and good diet to help the body fight off the infection; and antibiotics are sometimes useful in treating opportunistic bacterial infections that may strike while the body's defenses are low. Both are most serious in the very young and the elderly and in those with compromised immune systems. If pneumonia is suspected - or in the case of any continuing respiratory illness such as coughing or wheezy breathing - , professional health care such as at an urgent care facility should be sought quickly. To prevent spread of the bacteria or virus, cover your cough or sneeze (into your elbow), and clean your hands very often, preferrably using an alcohol-based hand cleaner.
Port Orchard

La Grange
Yes. As a matter of fact the very young and old (over 60 yoa) should receive a vaccination once a year, in the fall. Check with your Doctor or local health unit.

Thymol - what is the max daily intake considered safe?
I found a bruise on my leg a day or two after spent the night at a relative's house and they had dogs, a few days after I had a fever and a headache it lasted all day. A couple weeks after that a bruise turned into a rash, really itchy rash, the rash feels hot and patchy like (it grew into a bigger diameter). It's been over 6 weeks now, a couple days ago the rash got more itchier and turns dark red , my muscle on my left leg were sore. I used to stand for long hours and work it was tiring but not too bad, but now my back and lower back feels PAINFUL..when I had to stand and work for 3-4 hrs. What type of dr do I need to see Infectious Disease or Internal Medicine? I did some reaseach that if you tell them, you think you have lyme disease they won't believe or ignore you, and that you make it up??? Please help.
Your doctor won't tell you, you have lyme disease?
1.The prevalence of arthritis in the United States is 1 in 100,000 children. However, 1 in 10 children in Lyme, Connecticut, develop arthritis between June and September in 1973. Allen Steere, a rheumatologist at Yale University, investigated the case in Lyme and found that 25% of the patients remembered having a skin rash during their arthritic episode and that the disease was treatable with penicillin. Steere concluded that this was a new infectious disease and did not have an environmental, genetic, or immunologic cause. a.What was the factor that caused Steere to reach his conclusion? b.What is the disease? c.Why was the disease more prevalent between June and September?
Prevalence of Arthritis?
In May of 06 I started to get real weak and got a headache that was never ending. My symptoms at this time were, tingling, pins and needles, weakness, fatigue, neck pain and some more things. This lasted for a full 3 months, at this time I got a brain and c - spine mri with no contrast and it was normal. My neuro said no chance of ms. My mri of spine showed 2 bulging disks, everyone was quick to blame all my symptoms on the disks but neuro said that the disks would not cause all these symptoms, he blamed it on anxiety. My symptoms were gone in 3 months and soon after I had pain my eyes, sharp, dull pain behind my eye and it felt very scratchy for a good month. I went to the opthahmalogist and they said my eyes were just fine. Soon after the eye pain was gone. I had no symptoms until Feb 07, at this time I knew that something was definitely wrong with me. My symptoms were, tingling, pins and needles, twitching, insomnia, headaches, face pain, itching, muscle pain, muscle weakness, my eye would at times see double, major neck and shoulder pain, pain in my mid back, burning feet, hot and cold sensations, some nights right when I was about to sleep I would get a whole body jerk, again I went to the neuro and did a mri of brain with no contrast and it was normal, my neuro again said no ms. Soon my symptoms were gone. All blood work is normal too. Lyme with the infectious disease doc was negative. I then decided to see a llmd, which I saw Dr. Harris, here were my test resultsigm - 39+ 41 INDigg - 41+ 66+ 39 INDHe put me on 10 days amoxy and made me retest again only for IGM;Results were:IGM30+41+39 INDAlso did a 30/31 kda test which was negative. He said I had borderline lyme, so all I ever did was 10 days of amoxy, I was 3 months pregnant with baby #1. My symptoms soon all went away, this is in 2007. I had another baby a year later, no symptoms what so ever. Dr. Harris also told me that after I give birth if I did have lyme for sure that all my symptoms would come back in full effect. With my 2 kids this did not happen. So I put it away that I don't have lyme. Since the Dr. was also never 100% telling me that I do. I am now pregnant with baby #3 and I think my symptoms are starting, 3 years later. I have had a headache for 4 days straight now, it starts at my temples and goes to the back of the head, it's been excruciating, have not had this since 2007, last night I couldn't sleep, I was itching all over and my left leg was hurting. I am just wondering what is going on with me, did I have lyme, do my symptoms sound like ms, is it just a pregnancy headache, or is it just anxiety?
My story, what do my symptoms sound like, anxiety, lyme, ms, ?
My mom has been sick for a while. she's had this rash for weeks, and it's spread all over her body. She got tonsillitis a few weeks ago, and now she has a fever and has chills. She's been tested for many things, but everything comes back negative. The doctor suspects that it's some form of lyme disease, but she tested negative for that as well. She's being treated as though she has lyme disease, but she's very frustrated since no one knows what it is. Is this an allergic reaction or some kind of infectious disease?
Can you tell me what kind of illness this is?
I tested a very high positive for lyme disease and am being treated by my MD with doxy 100 mg 2 times a day, but the Infectious disease MD wants me to test for hiv hep, lupus, syphilis etc... she already has the diagnosis from tests and my symptoms yet she ignores it due to her ignorance with lyme?? seems that way anyone ever have this experience?
Why is the infectious disease dr ignoring my highly positive lyme tests?
I have been recently diagnosed with Lyme disease. A neurologist i ended up seeing, said they think it may be more advanced, that originally thought. I actually have an apt with an infectious disease dr tomorrow, but can anybody tell me what they went through ? or the problems they had ?
problems you had with Lyme disease?
In May 09 I had a pain and tightness in my knee while lifting and I am not able to bend or squat with my knee. In Beginning of August I had pain in my left knee. In late August I had pain iin my left elbow, left shoulder, left knee, and left foot. In the beginning of september, I had pain in my right elbow, right shoulder, right knee, and right foot. The following week, I had pain in my chest, head, and all finger bones, wrists, and ankles, balls of the feet, both heals. The week after that, I had shooting pain in my head, and shooting pain in my arm and legs and in my ears as well. After that I had chills, weekness, extreme fatigue, chest pain on both sides and chest tightness in the middle of the chest. I also had pain in all my toes. I saw rheumy in Nov 24th and he said i Have an inflammatory arthritis. The next day I had a test for parvovirus and It came out positive for IgG and negative for IgM. In the beginning of december, I had another test for parvovirus and sed rate. My parvovirus again came positive for IgG and negative for IgM. My doctor told me I have past infection for parvovirus and these arthritis symptoms are not related to Parvovirus. THen I had test done for sedrate. My sed rate came out 38 which above range of 0 to 20. My rheumy said I have some infectious arthritis. Again I saw three days ago. THis time He told me I have inflammatory arthritis. I got tested for Lyme disease and syphilis and all came out negative. My RF and ANA came out negative as well. All my blood test results were normal. I am currently taking naproxen. I am still not able to bend my right knee. All my joints are still achy and painful. Does anyone have an idea, if this could be some kind of an infectious arthritis? or could it be rheumatoid arthritis? No X rays or MRI are done. THe only MRI I have done for is for my right knee. Which reveals I have patellofemoral syndrome/ chondromalacia patello. I have just a cartilage damage under my knee cap and no other pathology was found in my right knee. If my right knee is related to overuse or osteoarthritis, then what are my other joint pain is related? Could it be rheumatoid arthritis or infectious arthritis that could be causing these joint Pain?
Hi!. I want to know if anyone have an idea of what is going on with my symptoms.?
I have both hand joints ( all my finger bones), wrists, ankles, toes, knees, shoulders, elbows, chest pain, heakache, fatigue, chills, fever, stabbing pain in my head, neck, upper back, lower back, pelvic area, lower and upper legs and arms, stabbing pain in my ears, back of my head, pain in my eyes, stabbing pain in my jaws, behind my ears, all my finger bones including DIP, PIP, knuckes. My doctor first misdiagnosed me for inflammatory arthritis and then misdiagnosed me for parvovirus. Finally he diagnosed me for infectious arthritis in multiple sites due to viruses, bacterias or other parasite diseases. Is it possible for me to have a lyme disease. DOes lyme disease cause stabbing pain in both hand joints in the little fingers and stiffness that lasts more than a day in my fingers. I also have neck stiffness, elbow stiffness, and finger stiffness.
Is it possible for a person with Lyme Disease to have symmetrical joint pain on both sides?
I had Lyme Disease when I was little (4, I am now 15), I had the bullseye rash and was put on antibiotics real quick (lived near Lyme, CT so the doctors knew right away). Today, at 15 years of age, I am suffering from random symptoms that are affecting my quality of life. I have numerous symptoms of Lyme Disease, however, the infectious disease doctor I saw tested me for Lyme Disease and it came back negative. I guess Lyme Disease stays in your system and if you had it, it'll come up positive? Or something like that...but mine came up negative. How is this possible? Can I still have had Lyme Disease and today be suffering from it? I have been tested for SO many things and every test comes back "normal" and it is very frustrating. I've been doing lots of research on Lyme Disease and it's symptoms, I am not trying to diagnose myself, but I went to a lot of websites (my favorite is this one: http://www. canlyme. com/patsymptoms. html) and I have over half of those symptoms...I've seen numerous doctors, had MRI's, bone scans, countless blood tests, etc and everything comes back normal...regardless of the fact it is many years later, could I still be suffering from the complications of Lyme Disease? And is it possible to have had Lyme DIsease, been treated quickly, and have a negative test? so im reading more and thinking maybe the test could've been a false negative? http://www. anapsid. org/lyme/lymeseroneg. html#2 - i had recently taken antibiotics during the time they took blood..
question about lyme disease...?
Hi, had lyme disease 8 months ago; bite has started to itch again, numbness and tiredness started, so went to the Dr. bloodwork shows: all IGG as non-reactive, only IGM (23 KD) is reactive. RBC is 5.72, MCV is 67.6, MCH is 22 and RDW is 15.8. rest of the tests are within the range. Dr. told me I have the lyme back and prescribed Doxycycline 100 mg. I tried to see a infectious disease specialist but they said I dont have the lyme and I need to see another doctor for my symtomps and a dermotologist for the rash at the bite area.. any suggestions ? p. s I have mediterranean thalasamia (minor)

I had Lyme Disease when I was little (4, I am now 15), I had the bullseye rash and was put on antibiotics real quick (lived near Lyme, CT so the doctors knew right away). Today, at 15 years of age, I am suffering from random symptoms that are affecting my quality of life. I have numerous symptoms of Lyme Disease, however, the infectious disease doctor I saw tested me for Lyme Disease and it came back negative. I guess Lyme Disease stays in your system and if you had it, it'll come up positive? Or something like that...but mine came up negative. How is this possible? Can I still have had Lyme Disease and today be suffering from it? I have been tested for SO many things and every test comes back "normal" and it is very frustrating. I've been doing lots of research on Lyme Disease and it's symptoms, I am not trying to diagnose myself, but I went to a lot of websites (my favorite is this one: http://www. canlyme. com/patsymptoms. html) and I have over half of those symptoms...I've seen numerous doctors, had MRI's, bone scans, countless blood tests, etc and everything comes back normal...regardless of the fact it is many years later, could I still be suffering from the complications of Lyme Disease? And is it possible to have had Lyme DIsease, been treated quickly, and have a negative test? so im reading more and thinking maybe the test could've been a false negative? http://www. anapsid. org/lyme/lymeseroneg. html#2 - i had recently taken antibiotics during the time they took blood..
question about lyme disease...?
Hi, had lyme disease 8 months ago; bite has started to itch again, numbness and tiredness started, so went to the Dr. bloodwork shows: all IGG as non-reactive, only IGM (23 KD) is reactive. RBC is 5.72, MCV is 67.6, MCH is 22 and RDW is 15.8. rest of the tests are within the range. Dr. told me I have the lyme back and prescribed Doxycycline 100 mg. I tried to see a infectious disease specialist but they said I dont have the lyme and I need to see another doctor for my symtomps and a dermotologist for the rash at the bite area.. any suggestions ? p. s I have mediterranean thalasamia (minor)

What infectious diseases are illegal immigrants bringing into the states?
Society Hill
Nothing that white trash american citizens don't have already.
Bloomingdale
Tb, Chagas, Malaria, and several others of concern. It's a major issue with red cross, since they are seeing new diseases showing up along the borders. AS for Europeans bringing diseases to the "New World". it went both ways. Syphillis originated in Hispaniola. The reason why the Amerindian was hit harder was because their population was much smaller than the Europeans and that If a European colony in America got wiped out, Europeans would send another boat load to replace them, while an Amerindian settlement got wiped out, ther eis no repacement population. As for the blanket full of Pox, That's how the Mexicans wiped out THe California Native population as well.

Chagas disease is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, a parasite related to the African trypanosome that causes sleeping sickness. It is spread by reduvid bugs and is one of the major health problems in South America. Due to immigration, the disease also affects people in the United States. Risk factors for Chagas disease include:•Living in a hut where reduvid bugs live in the walls•Living in Central or South America•Poverty•Receiving a blood transfusion from a person who carries the parasite but does not have active Chagas diseaseWatch this video on how an illegal alien had TB and infected thousands. http://www. youtube. com/watch? v=1puz6vAmx…

Information about Gonorrhea LectimThe Center for Disease Control has issued a warning about a new virulent strain of this old disease. The disease is called Gonorrhea Lectim. It's pronounced "Gonna re-elect 'em," and it is a terrible obamanation. The disease is contracted through dangerous and high risk behavior involving putting your cranium up your rectum. Many victims contracted it in 2008...but now most people, after having been infected for the past 1-2 years, are starting to realize how destructive this sickness is. It's sad because Gonorrhea Lectim is easily cured with a new drug just coming on the market called Votemout. You take the first dose in 2010 and the second dose in 2012 and simply don't engage in such behavior again; otherwise, it could become permanent and eventually wipe out all life as we know it. Several states are already on top of this, like Virginia and New Jersey, and apparently now Massachusetts, with many more seeing the writing on the wall. Please pass this important message on to all those bright folk you really care about.

All of them. Those Europeans ancestors spread those when they came to America. And in modern times, the new Americans continue spreading it.

Yeah because we all know diseases stop at boarders.....NOT! Look, I am not saying they don't bring some of these diseases into the US..but you are overlooking a very important factor here. American tourist. Every yr millions of Americans travel...some are lucky enough to travel out of the country. Do you not think they could bring these diseases back with them? Because they do. Even if we successfully close down out boarders, and no more illegals get in...American citizens will still bring these diseases back with them. Donna

IS FUNNY THE DISEASES CAME FROM EUROPEAN LEGAL IMIGRANTS, THE DISEASES ARE SPREAD BY EUROPE PEOPLE? WOW ASK THE ILLEGAL DISEASES FOR USA WAY OF LIFE?

I would say "just the ones they caught from your mother" but that would be rude. How about "The same ones the legal immigrants and current citizens have."
