Protect Your Family
An epidemic is painful and distressing. A pandemic is much,
much worse. From their origin as a local
epidemic in some African jungle or Asian village, when a pandemic comes, many people
will die. Many people will infect their own families and
friends. Many genetic bloodlines may die out.
A bird-flu pandemic in 1918 killed between 20 million and 40
million people worldwide. In that year, more people died than
were killed during World War I,
World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and all the recent Middle East wars
combined.
Perhaps you will wear
face masks to avoid inhaling droplets. Perhaps you will avoid restaurants,
cinemas, subways and public transport. Perhaps you will stop your children
going to school, and bunker yourselves in your own home.
But you and your family will still be at risk.
Local and international travel accelerates the spread of a pandemic.
People infected on one continent can carry a virus to another
continent before symptoms have time to show. Ships, planes
and trucks can easily transport a
virus across regional and international borders. Even if governments imprison
sick people or quarantine cities or entire nations - a pandemic
can visit a neighborhood near you.
What is an Epidemic?
Viral respiratory illnesses often begin with a fever,
headache, discomfort and body aches. Some people experience respiratory symptoms.
After a few days, infected people may have a dry
cough and difficulty breathing.
Deadly hantavirus epidemics begin with
flu-like symptoms, but most infected people will die of massive internal
bleeding. For example, the Ebola virus causes hemorrhagic fever,
characterized by initial headaches, weakness, and muscle aches, followed by vomiting,
abdominal pain, diarrhea, inflammation of the throat and eyes, bleeding from
body openings, and destruction of internal tissues. The onset of illness is
sudden, and the disease can progress swiftly to exhaustion and death in
seven to ten days. Mortality rates have been about 80% percent with
Ebola-Zaire virus.
The AIDS epidemic is deadly due in part to its
long incubation period - as it only spreads with difficulty.
While a person with SARS or Ebola can be infective for a week or two before the
symptoms show, people with
HIV may
infect people for years before they show symptoms of AIDS.
There are concerns about a bird flu jumping species to humans.
If a bird flu mutates, or worse, integrates with a human flu
virus, the conditions are ripe for a pandemic. Unfortunately, such diseases may have already been 'militarized' for biological warfare. The mutated - integrated virus
already exists - waiting for an accident or terrorist incident.
Epidemics are mostly spread by person-to-person contact.
Most new cases involve people who cared for or lived with someone who was
infected. A virus is spread in moisture when an infected person coughs or
sneezes. Hands used to cover the mouth while coughing can be contaminated
with viruses and pass the viruses on to door handles and railings. If the
next people who touch those
objects pick up the virus, and then touch their eyes or noses with common
human gestures, the virus spreads. Viral epidemics and pandemics can also be spread by
touching the skin or clothing of sick people.
In an epidemic or pandemic; some people die, some suffer for
a few weeks and some walk around without symptoms. What can you do to protect
yourself and your family? Answers to
protection may not be in biology - but in psychobiology and psychoneurobiology.
Psychobiology of Soul .
When
Disease Makes Sense
Psychobiology & Immunity
Psychobiology studies how psychology and biology
interact. And although psychobiology opens up new vistas for both psychology
and medicine - few psychologists or doctors seem aware of the breakthroughs
of the last few years. As much medical research is sponsored by
multinational drug companies, any evidence that drugs are not needed may be
ignored or supressed. Psychobiological cures
rarely need drugs - hence multinational pharmaceutical companies are not
interested - at best - in drug-free healing.
Example 1. During
hypnosis, a person can be told that a hand has touched poison ivy or a
toxic plant. Within a few minutes, the person's hand can become red and
inflamed, and small pustules form. The immune system can respond to
suggestions - and fight toxins that do not exist.
Example 2. People with multiple-personality syndrome
may have allergies in one persona and no allergies or different allergies in
another persona. This shows that your immune system can reprogram itself in a few
minutes, following appropriate signals from the neurocortex.
Example 3. Some people have spontaneous remissions from fatal
diseases. Physicians often explain these remissions by
claiming wrong diagnosis, faulty x-ray equipment or mistaken laboratory
procedures.
Systemic Psychobiology
Research into the psychobiology of family health often
finds a different picture. Health,
like success and happiness, is a political issues in families. And family
politics include covert rules about who can be successful, who can be happy
and who must be sick!
These rules may be changed during systemic coaching. We
provide solutions for many mental, physical and relationship problems, and can
lessen the symptoms, reduce pain and prevent many symptoms from occurring. If
