Lyme disease
Lyme disease is caused by bacteria transmitted through tick bites. It has three stages - early localized infection, early disseminated infection, and late disseminated infection - each with different symptoms. While antibiotics can treat Lyme disease, it is often misdiagnosed due to similarities with other conditions. Vaccines have been attempted but caused autoimmune issues. Overall, Lyme disease is best addressed through a holistic approach including chiropractic care, detoxification, proper nutrition, exercise, and stress management.
Lyme Disease
The document discusses Lyme disease, including what it is, its symptoms, and controversies surrounding diagnosis and treatment in Canada.
1. Lyme disease is caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi bacterium transmitted through tick bites. It is known as the "master mimic" disease due to its wide range of possible symptoms.
2. Symptoms can affect many parts of the body including joints, heart, neurological and psychological systems. Testing is controversial in Canada and many suffer for years due to misdiagnosis before receiving treatment.
3. Treatment guidelines in Canada are debated, as the cystic form of the bacteria may not be treated by the standard 30-day antibiotic protocol. Improved education
AIDS THE KILLER DISEASE
The document discusses HIV/AIDS, caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV is a retrovirus that infects and destroys cells of the immune system, specifically T-cells, weakening the immune system and allowing opportunistic infections. Symptoms of HIV/AIDS include weight loss, diarrhea, mental disorders, vision problems, and tiredness. HIV can be transmitted sexually, through blood or needles, or from mother to child. Diagnosis involves blood tests that detect HIV antibodies, such as ELISA and Western Blot tests. Prevention includes safe sex practices, not sharing needles, avoiding tattoos with infected needles, and comprehensive sex education.
The Truth About Some Of The Facts Presented
The document discusses HIV/AIDS and addresses some common misconceptions. It defines AIDS as a syndrome characterized by multiple symptoms, rather than a single disease, and confirms that HIV is the cause of AIDS. It explains that HIV testing examines antibodies or the virus itself in blood. Risk factors are assessed through personal history to better understand infection risk and provide prevention advice. The document notes there are individual differences in how people respond to viruses based on genetics, environment and nutrition, but this does not dispute viruses' existence. It concludes questioning and seeking information is good, but misleading questions can be dangerous, so care and multiple sources are important.
Lymes Disease
Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi and transmitted through the bite of infected blacklegged or deer ticks. In the early stages, it may cause a characteristic bullseye rash and flu-like symptoms. Later symptoms can include joint and muscle pain, heart palpitations, facial paralysis, headaches, and memory problems. Diagnosis is made through blood tests and clinical evaluation. Treatment involves antibiotics to kill the bacteria. Physical therapy can help manage pain and improve range of motion in the acute, subacute, and chronic stages of the disease.
Ebola 2021
Ebola is a severe and often fatal disease caused by the Ebola virus. Symptoms include fever, headache, muscle pain, and bleeding. It spreads through contact with infected body fluids and can have an incubation period of 2-21 days. There is no vaccine or cure, but recovery depends on supportive clinical care. Proper personal protective equipment and following decontamination procedures are vital to prevent the spread of Ebola when responding to potential cases.

This document provides information about several common viral and bacterial infections including HIV/AIDS, Chlamydia, Syphilis, Hepatitis B, Genital Herpes, Genital Warts (HPV), and Gonorrhea. It outlines the prevalence, symptoms, potential complications if left untreated, prevention methods, and treatment for each infection. Key facts provided include that HIV/AIDS has no cure, Chlamydia is often asymptomatic in girls, and gonorrhea can be infected more than once even after treatment.
HIV / AIDS Awareness
HIV attacks the immune system, while AIDS is the late stage of HIV infection. There are two types of HIV viruses. HIV can be transmitted through unprotected sex, sharing needles, or from mother to child during pregnancy or breastfeeding. The early stage of HIV may cause flu-like symptoms, then a long clinical latency stage with few or no symptoms follows. Without treatment, late stage AIDS develops where the immune system is too weak to fight illness. It is important for people to get tested, practice safer sex, limit partners, and get vaccinated for preventable diseases to reduce HIV transmission risk. Informing loved ones about an HIV diagnosis allows for support, but it is a personal decision.
Vaccinations
Edward Jenner is credited with discovering the smallpox vaccine in the late 18th century. He observed that milkmaids who had previously contracted cowpox did not get smallpox. Jenner inoculated a young boy with cowpox pus and found he did not later contract smallpox. Vaccination works by introducing a weakened form of a pathogen to trigger an immune response and antibody production, protecting against future infection without risk of illness. While vaccines provide herd immunity benefits, rare risks include adverse reactions, so those with weakened immunity must take precautions.
BBP 2021
The document discusses OSHA's Bloodborne Pathogen Standard which requires annual training for employees exposed to blood and other potentially infectious materials. It covers who is covered under the standard, potential pathogens, how pathogens are transmitted, and common precautions to prevent exposure such as use of personal protective equipment, proper handling of sharps and regulated waste, decontamination procedures, and universal precautions to treat all blood and body fluids as potentially infectious. It also provides guidance for immediate treatment in the event of an exposure.
Lyme disease
Lyme disease is caused by the bacteria Borrelia burgdorferi and is transmitted through the bites of infected deer ticks. It was discovered in 1982 by Swiss scientist Wilhelm Burgdorfer. Common symptoms include a bullseye rash, joint pain, and facial palsy. While usually treatable with antibiotics if caught early, it can become a chronic condition if left untreated. The ticks live in wooded and grassy areas, waiting to latch onto passing hosts to feed on and potentially spread the bacteria.
Tibet leaflet A5
The document discusses China's occupation of Tibet and the oppression of Tibetans. It claims that Chinese immigration has made Tibetans a minority in their own country. It states over 1 million Tibetans have died as a result of China's invasion and occupation, and that Tibetans are tortured and imprisoned for opposing Chinese rule. Despite the brutality, Tibetans remain committed to non-violent resistance for their freedom and independence.

Major outbreaks have occurred in Central and West Africa. There is no vaccine or cure, so treatment focuses on relieving symptoms while the body fights the infection. Strict isolation protocols and proper hygiene practices are necessary to prevent further transmission.
Ebola virus
The Ebola virus causes an acute, serious illness which is often fatal if untreated. Ebola virus disease (EVD) first appeared in 1976 in 2 simultaneous outbreaks, one in Nzara, Sudan, and the other in Yambuku, Democratic Republic of Congo. The latter occurred in a village near the Ebola River, from which the disease takes its name.
The current outbreak in west Africa, (first cases notified in March 2014), is the largest and most complex Ebola outbreak since the Ebola virus was first discovered in 1976. There have been more cases and deaths in this outbreak than all others combined. It has also spread between countries starting in Guinea then spreading across land borders to Sierra Leone and Liberia, by air (1 traveller only) to Nigeria, and by land (1 traveller) to Senegal.
The most severely affected countries, Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia have very weak health systems, lacking human and infrastructural resources, having only recently emerged from long periods of conflict and instability. On August 8, the WHO Director-General declared this outbreak a Public Health Emergency of International Concern.
A separate, unrelated Ebola outbreak began in Boende, Equateur, an isolated part of the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The virus family Filoviridae includes 3 genera: Cuevavirus, Marburgvirus, and Ebolavirus. There are 5 species that have been identified: Zaire, Bundibugyo, Sudan, Reston and Taï Forest. The first 3, Bundibugyo ebolavirus, Zaire ebolavirus, and Sudan ebolavirus have been associated with large outbreaks in Africa. The virus causing the 2014 west African outbreak belongs to the Zaire species.
The Truth about Ebola
At Premier One Emergency Centers, we are dedicated to educating our communities about health-related issues. With the first U.S. diagnosis of Ebola occurring in neighboring Dallas, Texas, we would like to share with you some important information about this virus.
We are confident that the chances of contracting Ebola remain remote, yet our communities should stay vigilant and educated about the potential for infection due to any illness
Ebola Virus Disease: Key Facts, by Dr Praveen Malik
Ebola hemorrhagic fever is a severe and often fatal disease in humans caused by five different strains of the Ebola virus which infect humans and nonhuman primates. Fruit bats are considered the natural host. Symptoms include abrupt fever, headache, muscle aches and can progress to diarrhea, vomiting, rash and internal and external bleeding. It occurs mainly in several African countries and is transmitted through direct contact with bodily fluids of infected individuals or contaminated materials. There is no approved vaccine but supportive care and isolation are important to prevent spread.
Ebola virus
Ebola virus disease (EVD), also known as Ebola hemorrhagic fever, is a viral hemorrhagic fever caused by ebolaviruses. EVD was first discovered in 1976 near the Ebola River in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The virus spreads through direct contact with body fluids from infected humans or animals. Symptoms include fever, body aches, diarrhea and sometimes internal and external bleeding. While there is no approved vaccine yet, treatment focuses on supportive care to help the immune system fight the virus.
Ebola virus disease prevention and awareness
This document from the Pentagon's Emergency Management office provides information about Ebola virus disease (EVD) including how it spreads, symptoms, and prevention. It notes that the first US case was diagnosed in September 2014 and that proper hygiene like handwashing is key to prevention since EVD can survive on surfaces for hours and in body fluids for days. Symptoms may appear 2-21 days after exposure and include fever, headache, muscle pain, diarrhea and bleeding. The risk of infection is low unless one comes into direct contact with an infected person's bodily fluids.

The document discusses HIV, mosquito-borne illnesses, and Ebola. It provides information on the origins, transmission, symptoms, and preventative measures for each disease. HIV originated from chimpanzees in West Africa and is transmitted through bodily fluids. Symptoms include coughing and vision loss. Treatment includes antiretroviral drugs. Mosquito-borne illnesses like yellow fever originated in tropical regions and are transmitted by mosquito bites. Symptoms include fever and vomiting. Prevention includes vaccination and insect repellent. Ebola likely originated from contact with bats in West Africa and causes hemorrhaging. Symptoms include fever and diarrhea. Prevention involves hygiene and avoiding contact with infected animals or fluids.

The ravaging ebola virus health workers
Dr. OBA Owoeye gave a presentation on Ebola virus disease (EVD) at a clinical grand round. The presentation covered the introduction of EVD, how it is transmitted from animals to humans and between humans, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, prevention through proper hygiene and protective equipment, and importance of hand washing. EVD has a high fatality rate and is a severe illness endemic to Central and West Africa that spreads through contact with bodily fluids and is diagnosed through various laboratory tests. Prevention relies on personal hygiene, proper hand washing and use of protective equipment when caring for patients.
The Ebola
Ebola is a deadly viral disease that affects the digestive system, circulatory system, liver, kidneys, and sometimes the skin, eyes, nose and ears. It is highly lethal, with fatality rates of 40-60% even with medical treatment, and near 100% without treatment. The virus is transmitted through contact with bodily fluids of infected humans or animals. Common symptoms include fever, muscle pain, vomiting and diarrhea, which can lead to organ failure and death. There is currently no approved vaccine or treatment for Ebola.

Ebola
- 2. What is Ebola??? Ebola is a deadly disease that is currently infecting Africa. In 1976 the first outbreak of Ebola was displayed in Western Sudan in the town of Nzara.
- 3. Research : Recent news states that National Institute of Health(NIH) will soon start initial human testing of an investigational vaccine to prevent Ebola Viral Disease(EVD) NIH is working with a company to develop an antiviral drug to treat Ebola Also, U.S. Department of Defense has funded two companies that are developing drug therapies for Ebola and is working with another company to develop an Ebola vaccine
- 4. Signs and Symptoms : Fever (greater than 38.6°C or 101.5°F) Severe headache Muscle pain Weakness Diarrhea Vomiting Abdominal (stomach) pain Unexplained hemorrhaging (bleeding or bruising) Symptoms may appear anywhere from 2 to 21 days after exposure to Ebola, but the average is 8 to 10 days
- 5. Treatment : Symptoms of Ebola are often mistaken for malaria, typhoid fever, or flu posing a difficulty in diagnosing Patients with Ebola should be isolated from the public Body fluids from the patients can be collected and tested to confirm the infection Contact with objects that have been contamination with the blood or body fluids from a infected patient and infected animals can spread the disease
- 6. Treatment (continued) Control outgoing body salts Keeping oxygen level and blood pressure normal Treating other infections if they occur Experimental treatments have been developed for Ebola they have been tested and have been proven effective in animals but have not yet been tested in randomized trials in humans. ‘Recovery from Ebola depends on the patient’s immune response. People who recover from Ebola infection develop antibodies that last for at least 10 years, possibly longer.’
- 7. Prevention: The FDA has not approved of a vaccine available for Ebola ‘Practice careful hygiene. Avoid contact with blood and body fluids.’ ‘Do not handle items that may have come in contact with an infected person’s blood or body fluids.’ ‘Avoid funeral or burial rituals that require handling the body of someone who has died from Ebola.’ ‘Avoid contact with bats and nonhuman primates or blood, fluids, and raw meat prepared from these animals.’ ‘Avoid hospitals where Ebola patients are being treated. The U.S. embassy or consulate is often able to provide advice on facilities.’
