		<description>I had never head of anything like that before. I do eat yogurt and leave a little dirt on my veggies after I dig them up..and recently read an article about the Chinese or Japanese using magnetics to cure cancer...will see if I can find it.

		<description>Sugar free gums like Orbit, etc. have a gram of sugar alcohol per stick and low carb candy bars like those made by Atkins, can have anywhere from a few grams to as many as 12 grams or so. 

One has to read the labels. If they have sugar alcohols it will be listed. Some sugar free puddings also have about 6 grams of sugar alcohols. &quot;Jello&quot; Brand has abut six and I know some &quot;house&quot; brands made by certain supermarkets, like Safeway here out west, also have that amount.

Most sugar-free stuff uses aspartame. but the ones that use sugar alcohols usually don&#039;t or only very little of it. But the sugar alcohols are known to be a laxative and that&#039;s why they are fairly scarce in the sugar free product line up.

In the future, I&#039;m betting someone markets a special &quot;anti-biotic&quot; candy bar just for the purpose of killing gut bacteria. I contemplated doing this myself, but I know the pharmaceutical companies will NOT be happy when a buck fifty candy bar replaces 300 dollars worth of antibiotics. 

And dealing with Al Qaeda or terrorists is risk-free when compared to crossing the multi-trillion dollar a year pharmaceutical industry. ;) 

However, most of their big bucks are made on exotic &quot;lifelong&quot; drugs that need to be taken forever and not one-time antibiotics. Which is why they are not busy inventing new antibiotics. (Which are desperately needed now that these new strains are resistant to everything a doctor can throw at them)

So, I&#039;m keeping my fingers crossed. I&#039;ve been in contact with some of the folks researching this and so I know it&#039;s being worked on and studied, even as I write this. 

In the much more distant future they will be able to scan for every bacteria based upon the elctrical signals they emit, identify the bad ones and their polarity charge (i.e. negative or positive) and kill them without anyone ever imbibing a thing.  They will use magnetic fields and external electronics. One wont feel a thing - just suddenly a &quot;woosh&quot; as millions of bacteria are killed almost instantaneously. One&#039;s whole body will feel refreshed and the way it should. No delays. No chemicals or poisons. No cutting people open.

Instant healing!  I look forward to that day. I know I&#039;ve already lived lives in the &quot;future&quot; and so that&#039;s why it&#039;s so very familiar to me. One can get born and move one&#039;s &quot;soul&quot; all along the time stream. It&#039;s all just field mechanics. ;)</description>

		<description>Ask him if anything is known about Iraqi troops with similar symptoms to the one he is experiencing. They were fighting on the same battlefield our boys were in.  Did Iraqi civilians suffer from it?  Did our rear-echelon support troops get the symptoms, is there any difference between combatants and non-combatants? If it is something in the environment then these would be clues to help nail it down.</description>

		<description>Some, and perhaps many, &lt;a HREF=&quot;http://www.livescience.com/15057-ecoli-electricity-voltage-blinking-visualization.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;gut bacteria are electrical.&lt;A&gt; They emit electric charges in our guts. Bad bacteria can interfere with out nervous system and that result in all over muscle pain and problems with brain activity, etc.

Over the next decades, you will see a new medical focus on the electrical nature of bacteria and the relationship between bacteria and diseases that involve the nervous system. These new bacteria are resistant to almost all antibiotics. Farms feed antibiotics to their animals and so the bugs born n this environment are already immune. &lt;a HREF=&quot;http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/64203/title/Bacteria_go_electric&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Bacteria conduct electricity.&lt;/A&gt; The signals of these electrical impulses are very similar to the way our nerve cells transmit data. So a colony of bad bacteria in the gut can interfere with the secondary nervous system which travels alongside the gastrointestinal lining.  

This controls breathing, heart rate, digestion, and more. When we sleep this secondary nervous system becomes more dominant and if it is compromised we will have horrible sleep, our bodily functions will be erratic and we can experience constipation, heart palpitations and &quot;brain fog&quot;.  

A stock tip for the future...invest in companies that manufacture and sell sugar alcohols. Sugar alcohols kill bacteria. They are the cheapest and most effective antibiotic available. They are already classified as a dentrifice by the FDA, because tooth decay is caused by bacteria in the mouth. Whenever I travel to someplace where the food or water might be compromised I bring along some sugar free candy with sugar alcohols. Mixing the two in your gut diminishes and kills many nasties that might be present. Sugar alcohols can&#039;t be absorbed into the bloodstream and stay in the gut where they kill bacteria -and also act as laxative. ;)

Doctors know little or nothing about this, yet. It&#039;s cutting edge. Bleeding edge actually. ;D  So you&#039;re getting a sneak peak into the future.

If your friend has weird muscle cramps in his jaw, shoulders and is experiencing bouts of numbness or desensitized spots, if he feels worse after a bowel movement than before - all these could be signs of a bacterial gastrointestinal infection that is causing the trouble. 

I tend to think if it were chemical exposure, it wouldn&#039;t last this long  as the body expelled it.  And if the imbibed toxin was permanently embedded in tissues it wouldn&#039;t appear as erratic. So I tend to think it is a living organism that is to blame. One that can survive long term inside it&#039;s victims - like a gut that has been colonized by a new bacteria.

		<description>It should be abolished; especially our participation in it.
We are finding &quot;terrorists&quot; in every country, under every rock and only General Jock with his defense industry contracts gets to target these poor buggers.

WAR IS A BUSINESS! ~ General Smedley Butler

I have been complaining for years about our use of depleted uranium and white phosphorus on innocent populations BECAUSE WE CAN, not to mention the anthrax vaccines WE GIVE OUR SOLDIERS and put them in harm&#039;s way. Somehow, everyone overlooks this...the fact they TOO are in harm&#039;s way; not to mention the PTSD and the missing arms and legs, brain injuries and the heroin being shipped back in body bags.

Just glorify the words...honor and freedom, etc.
They are getting a lot of traction these days.</description>
