A recent comment on the Mercola post at FB on what happens when you drink cola drinks says that certainly a popular drink can not be classified as as food. It has other uses in the house as a household cleaner.

#Citronella oil vs dengue - 1st case of dengue reported in Japan after 60 years
Live healthy and long
Rizal Philippines | August 30, 2014
For the first time ever, Japan reported case of dengue. (From Washington post - 1st case of dengue in Japan after 40 years ) Worldwide the estimate for dengue infection is between 50 to 100 million. WHOs estimate is at 390 million. That is a large number. Many nations are clueless on how to eradicate combat dengue.
I had my yard planted to Citronella and I think it is useful in controlling mosquitoes and other household pests
Here is an article from Cymbopogon genus plant (it is related to the lemon grass) The Mercola article does not seem to distinguish between the Lemon grass and the citronell grassa because both seem to be used for flavoring and aromatherapy
Citronella oil + vanillin provides 3 hours of protection vs mosquitoes, comparable to the protection provided by chemical mosquito repellent DEET.

How to combat Ebola the natural way

Ebola virus, which has killed l,552 so far and could infect as many as 20,000 until it is contained (and could kill half as many) could be combated without using untested vaccines
What are some of them:
1. Vitamin C
2. Alkanizing the body (to kill the virus)
3. Epsom salt bath
4. Staying hydrated
5. Vitamin d
6. The power of zinc
7. Iodine
How about medical marijuana.?

The doctor said it could be part of growing up (este old) and may soon lead to loss of hearing.

3,000 cases of dengue reported in northeastern Mindanao
Live healthy and long
Angono, Rizal Philipppines I August 25, 2014
From AFPRIM
More than 3,000 cases of dengue have been reported in Northeastern Mindanao at region XIII or otherwise known as Caraga Region consisting of 4 provinces: Agusan del Norte and Sur, Surigao del Norte and Sur. Dengue is a mosquito borne disease and is also a hemorrhagic fever just like Ebola.
While the rest of the world are alarmed over Ebola (where there are only 2,000 cases; we should be equally alarmed at this high incidence of dengue.
Dengue can be controlled by controlling the breeding places of mosquitoes and even planting citronella grass which are plentiful and can be had for free.
Who estimates that there are about 50 to 100 million dengue infections a year worldwide. An Oxford study estimates this to be very much higher 390 million a year.
The health care industry definitely had demand for workers in this field of study. (But is likely to be avoided being very deadly)
Thus the deadliest animal (born to kill) is still what? Mosquitoes. Deaths from mosquito bite is conservatively estimated to be a million a year. Snake bites do not come close. (about 50,000 a year) Deaths from sharks is under l00 a year.

From Techdirt
In a study featured by Fox News: 4 big pharma companies, JJ Novartis, Bayer, Pfizer with revenues of over $200 billion among them, are not involved in research to find cure for Ebola.
Why?
The article at Techdirt says that there is not enough profit to be made, or that selling drugs to poor people of Africa is not attractive business for these pharma. Only small gentech companies are most likely to be involved in the Ebola virus drug research

WHO endorses use of untested drug Zmapp in fight vs Ebolavirus

Rizal Philippines | August 13, 2014
Repost from Time Magazine
The World Health Organization has endorsed use of Zmapp, an untested drug vs Ebolavirus. Its ethics committee has ruled that the drug could be a potent tool in fight vs the outbreak. The entire stock of the new drug has been shipped to Liberia after its President sought the help of US govt. The entire shipment came at no cost to Liberian govt. Liberia has the second biggest number of casualty from the outbreak. The drug is made by Mapp BioPharmaceutical
WHO said that the drug should be administered only after the patient has been informed that the drug is untested (and therefore would be use in humans for the first time and that there could be risk) and that he consents
It may take months before the manufacturer can manufacture new batch of vaccines. Guinea, and Nigeria therefore would not have such drug at their disposal
Some experts however say that the vaccines could not help combat the disease entirely. A semblance of public health infrastructure is needed which may be non existent in the Ebola virus stricken West Africa

Repost from BBC news
It was featured today at Al Jazeera and Fox News that the Zmapp drug used on two American missionaries to West Africa who were infected with Ebola is being flown to Nigeria to help combat the disease. This may sound unethical because the patients would be guinea pigs for the drugs.
So far the disease has killed more than a thousand (1,016) out of 1, 799 infected.
The drug is made by Mapp BioPharmaceutical based in San Diego California, has not undergone clinical testing, nor has acquired FDA blessing. But the drug was used on the two American missionaries and has made them better. It is made from extracts of tobacco plants from Australia and its efficacy so far has been tested to be 100% on monkeys.
The drug is known as 3 mouse monoclonal antibody/
The entire supply of Zmapp has been exhausted after this shipment. And this came at no cost to the LIberian Govt. The shipment came after the Liberian govt Pres Ellen Johnson appealed to the US govt. The role of US govt has been to put into contact Zapp and the Liberian govt.
What a great humanitarian gesture.

WHO declares Ebola virus global health emergency
Live healthy and long
Rizal Philippines | August 11, 2014
Repost from WSJ | August 8, 2014
WHO headed by Dr. Margaret Chan, declared Ebola virus as a global health emergency. This means member nations have to contribute more. The disease appeared to be out of control and has overcome many of the health workers in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea, some of the poorest countries in Africa. These countries have a little semblance of public health care, and may have run of supplies to battle the disease.
Several health workers have seen surges in the volume of cases. 10 died on Friday. It takes about 8 to 20 days for the disease to incubate. RC worker in Sierra Leone said 40 cases arrived Friday, and the numbers keep on rising, overwhelming the health workers.
Ebola has infected 1,779 which resulted in 961 deaths. Ebola has infected 140 to 150 workers, 80 of them fatally. Many health workers have opted not to work because of fear of infection
This is so far the largest Ebola outbreak in recent history.
Travel has been limited by companies who have invested in business in such countries. As of late, NIgeria, a very populous country has closed border with Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia. Eight people have been infected by lone case from the infected countries, one of them fatally
