 What's far more likely to happen is that imbalanced ecosystems will unleash famines and infectious diseases that will ultimately devastate humankind.
Why famines? Because radical weather patterns caused by global warming will disrupt food production, causing droughts in some areas and floods in others. As food production plummets, famine will become widespread. We are, after all, in a "food bubble" right now.
Why infectious disease? Because only balanced, healthy ecosystems keep infectious disease at bay. When ecosystems are disrupted, they become breeding grounds for infectious pathogens. |

| Beyond infectious disease: nutrition and metabolic disorders
Of course, there can also be pests and infections in plants. In human populations, that's like contracting an infectious disease. But realize that the vast majority of conventional medicine that is practiced today is focused on metabolic disorders, not infectious diseases. In fact, the leading causes of death in America are all nutritionally related disorders: cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, strokes, and so on.
None of these diseases are infectious agents. |

| We are, after all, in a "food bubble" right now.
Why infectious disease? Because only balanced, healthy ecosystems keep infectious disease at bay. When ecosystems are disrupted, they become breeding grounds for infectious pathogens. Those pathogens spread quickly through non-natural animal production facilities (bird farms, cattle ranches, fish farming ponds, etc.), accelerating the mutation rate and greatly increasing the chance of cross-species infections that can then be spread by human-to-human contact. |

 Shouldn't kids be protected against infectious disease?
There are many doctors who continue to argue in favor of mass vaccination programs. The point of these programs, they say, is to protect children and "save lives" from infectious disease. So why shouldn't we listen to the doctors on all this? Because they completely fail to recognize these crucial facts about vaccines and children's health:
1) Many of the vaccines being administered today are designed to prevent non-lethal infections like Chicken Pox. |

 Stress and the immune system
Before the end of the 1970s, it was generally felt that so-called stress-linked disorders (on the rise) and infectious disorders (on the decline) were distinct categories of illness. Throughout the early period of research on stress and disease, there seemed to be no obvious way in which stress could play any role in a person's susceptibility to, or recovery from, an infectious disease. |

 They've also managed to get people to believe that infectious diseases are caused SOLELY by the presence of the virus or bacterium -- an idea that's utter nonsense. An infectious agent is only a threat when the body is suppressed enough to be susceptible to infection. The real cause of an infection is just as much a weakened immune system as it is the presence of the virus, yet conventional medicine focuses solely on the presence of the virus and dismisses the role of the immune system in preventing infection.

 Iron is also needed by infectious agents such as bacteria. The body lowers blood iron levels during acute infections to avoid aiding the infectious agents. Lowering blood iron may be an important immune response to infections. Iron fortification and supplementation must be reconsidered during infections to prevent worsening infections such as malaria, tuberculosis, HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), and typhoid.

 At the same time, infectious diseases, like tuberculosis and polio, have a single, identifiable cause. As scientists began to understand how bacteria and viruses caused disease, they made great strides in wiping them out. Other diseases have proven harder to solve.
The writer Dr. James Le Fanu has pointed out that the postwar therapeutic revolution came about even though scientists did not understand the basic processes of most diseases caused by something other than bacteria or another infectious agent. |

| Thus, the administering of vaccines suppresses normal immune function, leaving the child more vulnerable to other infectious diseases that might come along and have no vaccine available, such as some future mutation of Bird Flu. Today's vaccination programs, in essence, are priming these children to be killed by future infectious pandemics (for which vaccines are absolutely useless due to rapid viral mutation).
4) Doctors utterly dismiss all reports of side effects from vaccines, pretending they do not exist. |

 Beating infectious disease with herbal ingredients
Power Immune is extremely effective at protecting you from infectious disease. I've had the chance to test this twice on myself after picking up a bug at the local gym. Engaging in a heavy workout in an enclosed environment creates an easy opportunity for acquiring colds or flus. You're sweaty, breathing heavily and exhausted. Your immune system is suppressed from all the exertion. That's when a bug gets in and starts to replicate. |

 Further, adverse effects are amply documented and are far more significant to public health than any adverse effects of infectious diseases. Immunizations, including those practiced on babies, not only did not prevent any infectious diseases, they caused more suffering and more deaths than have any other human activity in the entire history of medical intervention. |

 Three out of four sailors never made it back home, mostly as a result of scurvy and infectious diseases. Ironically, many more might have made it back home alive if they had drunk their cargo instead of just transporting it. The vitamin C in green tea prevents scurvy, and tea's polyphenols boost the body's immune function so that it can better fight infectious disease.
By the 1630s, each Dutch vessel returning to Europe from China routinely carried several large pottery jars of tea. Accordingly, there are records of people drinking tea in Amsterdam, London, and Paris as early as 1635. |

 And when a pandemic gets out of control, when a virus becomes a global infectious agent, there's not much you can do about it. All the intellectual property in the world can't save you from an infectious disease.
Even the most advanced technology in the world cannot overcome the repercussions of the disasters we have set into motion on this planet from being the egotistical, aggressive version of humanity that we have become. |

 Cases of Type-1 can arise from exposure to viruses that have been documented, including measles, mumps, infectious mononucleosis, infectious hepatitis, Coxsackie virus, and cytomegalovirus. These viruses cause an immune inflammation response that destroys the beta cells of the pancreas in an infant. Infant research suggests that exposure to German measles in the womb may have a 40 percent greater chance of developing Type-1 diabetes.
Type-1 diabetes can run in families, but there is a weak association. |

| Here is how Viera Scheibner summarizes her research:
I did not find it difficult to conclude that there is no evidence whatsoever that vaccine of any kind - but especially those against childhood diseases - are effective in preventing the infectious diseases they are supposed to prevent. Further, adverse effects are amply documented and are far more significant to public health than any adverse effects of infectious diseases. |

 In the early 1900s people primarily died of infectious diseases. The four leading causes of death in the U.S. back then were pneumonia, tuberculosis, diphtheria, and influenza, and people had a life expectancy of a little more than forty-three years. But thanks to the discovery of antibiotics and advances in their development during the second half of this century, deaths due to infectious diseases declined dramatically, even after the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s. |

| Tuberculosis myths
This "highly infectious form of TB," for example, is largely a medical myth. Allow me to explain: The bacterium certainly does exist, and it can be passed through the air, but the most important point that still escapes the understanding of conventional medical authorities is that vitamin D prevents TB infections. The only people susceptible to TB infectious are those who are chronically deficient in vitamin D! |

| When we treat animals inhumanely -- when we corral them together in cramped pens and slaughter them for food, when we feed cattle the ground up remains of dead animals and chicken feces -- which is a USDA-approved practice -- we create an environment that is ripe for infectious disease, mutation and infection. If you think the flu of 1918 was bad, wait until you see the next pandemic that comes along. And when a pandemic gets out of control, when a virus becomes a global infectious agent, there's not much you can do about it. |

 Cultures for the infectious agents require two to three days to process and are important in confirming a diagnosis, but severe symptoms and the potentially serious consequences of acute PID require immediate treatment even if confirmation has not yet been obtained.
Since more than one organism can cause PID, a negative culture result can be misleading. Newer and more accurate tests using antigen detection methods or fluorescence antibody marker techniques are available for the rapid detection of chlamydial infection. |
| A healthy vaginal ecology is dominated by lactobacilli species,1 bacteria that defend against both UTIs and infectious vaginitis. Studies have shown that women who have recurrent UTIs have a preponderance of uropathogens on the introitus and in the vagina.2 Lactobacilli adhere to the uroepithelial cells and inhibit the adherence of pathogenic organisms such as E. coli to the cells, thereby preventing proliferation. |

 According to Fairweather, when the innate immune system meets a constant onslaught of potentially dangerous challenges, be they infectious or toxic substances, it behaves like a car whose accelerator is stuck at eighty miles an hour and whose brakes aren't working.
To understand how the brakes fail on a cellular level in the human body requires a short course in one more group of immune cells, known as mast cells. |

 Current research has not found any clear association between an infectious agent and CFS.53 However, based on a multi-causal model, it is possible that some infectious agent might be a contributory cause for a certain subset of patients, or that it might be a trigger for CFS even after the infection is gone.54
Immune system defect might be involved in a certain amount of CFS patients. There is evidence of inappropriate cytokine response.55 The etiological cause is still not known. However, it is hypothesized that it might be due to decreased thyroid function. |

| It will most likely happen in a gentle, nudging way -- like global climate change, infectious diseases, global pandemics and food supply shortages. Maybe there will be other little reminders, like global water shortages, typhoons, earthquakes and changes in weather patterns that affect the food supply. It will likely be these types of things that kill a lot of human beings. Not only is this is going to keep happening, but I think it's going to accelerate. We as human beings are creating the conditions that will cause these devastating events. |
