2 PARASITES: Food and water are the most common sources of parasite transmission. Since most of us eat three times a day and drink water frequently throughout the day, our exposure to these sources is constant. Tap water has been found to be contaminated with parasitic organisms. Both plant and animal foods carry parasites, and cleaning and cooking methods often do not destroy them before ingestion. The CDC (Center for Disease Control) cites food as the catalyst behind 80 percent of the pathogenic outbreaks in the U.S. Most are linked to restaurants and delis where less than sanitary conditions exist -- from food preparation and storage to the utensils and servers' hands. Flukes: Schistosomiasis infection is contracted when a human comes in contact with the parasite in contaminated water. The parasite penetrates the skin and then enters the blood stream. If it reaches the liver, it can continue to grow in the human host. After a period of development, it migrates to the gut or bladder and begins producing eggs. Symptoms of schistosomiasis appear in three distinct phases. In the initial phase, symptoms include: fever, skin rash, abdominal pain, bronchitis, enlargement of the liver and spleen, and diarrhea. In the intermediate phase, symptoms include pathological changes in the intestinal and urinary tracts, and eggs in the urine and feces. The final phase results in complications involving major bodily systems. Pinworms: Pinworm, also called threadworm, is a small roundworm. Pinworms are parasites. That is, they live in the body of other animals. They are about 3/8 inch (9 millimeters) long and have white bodies and pointed tails. Some pinworms infect horses and rabbits. One type, Enterobius vermicularis, commonly infects humans. The young worms live in the upper part of the large intestine. When the females are ready to lay eggs, they crawl down the rectum and out the intestinal opening called the anus, usually at night. They lay eggs on the surrounding skin. This movement causes skin swellings and severe itching. The eggs fall off onto the bedding or clothing, or may be picked up under fingernails in scratching. If the eggs are swallowed, they reach the intestine and become adult pinworms. Pinworms are not very harmful unless they are present in large numbers. But their eggs may infect other people or reinfect the original carrier. In some areas, 10 to 60

3 per cent of the children may have pinworms at some time. Doctors use drugs to treat infection caused by pinworms. If the bowel contains partially digested protein it can harbour a huge variety of harmful bacteria and parasites. Intestinal worms outrank cancer as mankind's deadliest enemy worldwide and 1 in 6 of us has one or more parasites. They enter the body through contaminated food or water and it the intestinal flora is imbalanced and the colon is dirty and pocketed it will become a breeding ground, just as a waste dump is a perfect breeding ground for rats. Symptoms of parasitic infection include: pain constipation teeth grinding nausea joint & muscle pains gas & bloating vomiting allergies anaemia chronic diarrhea granuloma skin conditions anal itching nervousness sleep disturbances chronic fatigue Parasites can damage the body in several ways. They destroy body cells faster than they can be regenerated leading to perforation, ulceration and anaemia. They secrete toxic substances which stimulate the immune system and can produce allergic type reactions and cause pain and inflammation. Depending on their size they can actually obstruct certain organs particularly the intestine, pancreas and bile ducts. In this instance, a liver flush using plenty of flax seed oil would be very helpful. Encysted parasites can put pressure on the brain causing a wide range of emotional and neurological symptoms. For example, pin worms in children can cause irritability, insomnia, the inability to concentrate, mood swings, unruly behaviour, impatience, impulsiveness, aggression and a short attention span all provoked by an allergic response to the parasite. In adults, personality changes have been noted in those with chronic toxoplasmosis, exacerbated by the duration of the infection.

4 Strongyloides stercoralis is an unusual "parasite" in that it has both free-living and parasitic life cycles. In the parasitic life cycle, female worms are found in the superficial tissues of the human small intestine; there are apparently no parasitic males. The female worms produce larvae parthenogenically (without fertilization), and the larvae are passed in the host's feces. The presence of nematode larvae in a fecal sample is characteristic of strongylodiasis. Once passed in the feces, some of the larvae develop into "freeliving" larvae, while others develop into "parasitic" larvae. The "free-living" larvae will complete their development in the soil and mature into free-living males and females. The free-living males and females mate, produce more larvae, and (as above) some of these larvae will develop into "free-living" larvae, while other will develop into "parasitic larvae." As one might imagine, this free-living life cycle constitutes an important reservoir for human infections. The "parasitic" larvae infect the human host by penetrating the skin The larvae migrate to the lungs, via the circulatory system, penetrate the alveoli into the small bronchioles, and they are "coughed up" and swallowed. Once they return to the small intestine, the larvae mature into parasitic females. Ascaris lumbricoides is one of the largest and most common parasites found in humans. The adult females of this species can measure up to 18 inches long (males are generally shorter), and it is estimated that 25% of the world's population is infected with this nematode. The adult worms live in the small intestine and eggs are passed in the feces. A single female can produce#up to 200,000 eggs each day! About two weeks after passage in the feces the eggs contain an infective larval or juvenile stage, and humans are infected when they ingest such infective eggs. The eggs hatch in the small intestine, the juvenile penetrates the small intestine and enters the circulatory system, and eventually the juvenile worm enters the lungs. In the lungs the juvenile worm leaves the circulatory system and enters the air passages of the lungs. The juvenile worm then migrates up the air passages into the pharynx where it is swallowed, and once in the small intestine the juvenile grows into an adult worm. Why Ascaris undergoes such a migration through the body to only end up where it started is unknown. Such a migration is not unique to Ascaris, as its close relatives undergo a similar migration in the bodies of their hosts (view diagram of the life cycle). #Ascaris infections in humans can cause significant pathology. The migration of the larvae through the lungs causes the blood vessels of the lungs to hemorrhage,

5 and there is an inflammatory response accompanied by edema. The resulting accumulation of fluids in the lungs results in "ascaris pneumonia," and this can be fatal. The large size of the adult worms also presents problems, especially if the worms physically block the gastrointestinal tract. Ascaris is notorious for its reputation to migrate within the small intestine, and when a large worm begins to migrate there is not much that can stop it. Instances have been reported in which Ascaris have migrated into and blocked the bile or pancreatic duct or in which the worms have penetrated the small intestine resulting in acute (and fatal) peritonitis. Ascaris seems to be especially sensitive to anesthetics, and numerous cases have been documented where patients in surgical recovery rooms have had worms migrate from the small intestine, through the stomach, and out the patient's nose or mouth. Ascaris suum is found in pigs. Its life cycle is identical to that of A. lumbricoides. If a human ingests eggs of A. suum the larvae will migrate to the lungs and die. This can cause a particularly serious form of "ascaris pneumonia." Adult worms of this species do not develop in the human's intestine. Infections of Ascaris are diagnosed by finding characteristic eggs in the feces of the infected host. Trichinellosis, also called trichinosis, is caused by eating raw or undercooked meat of animals infected with the larvae of a species of worm called Trichinella. Infection occurs commonly in certain wild carnivorous (meat-eating) animals but may also occur in domestic pigs. What are the symptoms of a trichinellosis infection? Nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, fatigue, fever, and abdominal discomfort are the first symptoms of trichinellosis. Headaches, fevers, chills, cough, eye swelling, aching joints and muscle pains, itchy skin, diarrhea, or constipation follow the first symptoms. If the infection is heavy, patients may experience difficulty coordinating movements, and have heart and breathing problems. In severe cases, death can occur. For mild to moderate infections, most symptoms subside within a few months. Fatigue, weakness, and diarrhea may last for months.

6 Epstein-Barr virus, frequently referred to as EBV, is a member of the herpes virus family and one of the most common human viruses. The virus occurs worldwide, and most people become infected with EBV sometime during their lives. In the United States, as many as 95% of adults between 35 and 40 years of age have been infected. Infants become susceptible to EBV as soon as maternal antibody protection (present at birth) disappears. Many children become infected with EBV, and these infections usually cause no symptoms or are indistinguishable from the other mild, brief illnesses of childhood. In the United States and in other developed countries, many persons are not infected with EBV in their childhood years. When infection with EBV occurs during adolescence or young adulthood, it causes infectious mononucleosis 35% to 50% of the time. The clinical diagnosis of infectious mononucleosis (EBV) is suggested on the basis of the symptoms of fever, sore throat, swollen lymph glands, and the age of the patient. Usually, laboratory tests are needed for confirmation. Serologic results for persons with infectious mononucleosis include an elevated white blood cell count, an increased percentage of certain atypical white blood cells, and a positive reaction to a "mono spot" test. There is no specific treatment for infectious mononucleosis, other than treating the symptoms. No antiviral drugs or vaccines are available. Some physicians have prescribed a 5-day course of steroids to control the swelling of the throat and tonsils. The use of steroids has also been reported to decrease the overall length and severity of illness, but these reports have not been published.

7 Adenovirus #Virus released by mites that can cause colds #Run this program once a month September through February to prevent colds #Clinical features: Adenoviruses most commonly cause respiratory illness; however, depending on the infecting serotype, they may also cause various other illnesses, such as gastroenteritis, conjunctivitis, cystitis, and rash illness. Symptoms of respiratory illness caused by adenovirus infection range from the common cold syndrome to pneumonia, croup, and bronchitis. Patients with compromised immune systems are especially susceptible to severe complications of adenovirus infection. Acute respiratory disease (ARD), first recognized among military recruits during World War II, can be caused by adenovirus infections during conditions of crowding and stress. #The viruses: Adenoviruses are medium-sized ( nm), nonenveloped icosohedral viruses containing double-stranded DNA. There are 49 immunologically distinct types (6 subgenera: A through F) that can cause human infections. Adenoviruses are unusually stable to chemical or physical agents and adverse ph conditions, allowing for prolonged survival outside of the body. #Epidemiologic features: Although epidemiologic characteristics of the adenoviruses vary by type, all are transmitted by direct contact, fecal-oral transmission, and occasionally waterborne transmission. Some types are capable of establishing persistent asymptomatic infections in tonsils, adenoids, and intestines of infected hosts, and shedding can occur for months or years. Some adenoviruses (e.g., serotypes 1, 2, 5, and 6) have been shown to be endemic in parts of the world where they have been studied, and infection is usually acquired during childhood. Outbreaks of adenovirus-associated respiratory disease have been more common in the late winter, spring, and early summer; however, adenovirus infections can occur throughout the year.

8 #What kind of germ is Clostridium botulinum? #Clostridium botulinum is the name of a group of bacteria commonly found in soil. These rod-shaped organisms grow best in low oxygen conditions. The bacteria form spores which allow them to survive in a dormant state until exposed to conditions that can support their growth. There are seven types of botulism toxin designated by the letters A through G; only types A, B, E and F cause illness in humans. #How common is botulism? #In the United States an average of 110 cases of botulism are reported each year. Of these, approximately 25% are foodborne, 72% are infant botulism, and the rest are wound botulism. Outbreaks of foodborne botulism involving two or more persons occur most years and usually caused by eating contaminated home-canned foods. The number of cases of foodborne and infant botulism has changed little in recent years, but wound botulism has increased because of the use of black-tar heroin, especially in California. #What are the symptoms of botulism? #The classic symptoms of botulism include double vision, blurred vision, drooping eyelids, slurred speech, difficulty swallowing, dry mouth, and muscle weakness. Infants with botulism appear lethargic, feed poorly, are constipated, and have a weak cry and poor muscle tone. These are all symptoms of the muscle paralysis caused by the bacterial toxin. If untreated, these symptoms may progress to cause paralysis of the arms, legs, trunk and respiratory muscles. In foodborne botulism, symptoms generally begin 18 to 36 hours after eating a contaminated food, but they can occur as early as 6 hours or as late as 10 days. #Caused by clostridium tetani. #Tetanus [TET-nus] is a condition that affects the nervous system and causes painful, uncontrolled muscle spasms. People get #tetanus when spores of the tetanus bacteria enter the body through an open wound and produce a powerful nerve poison. #Tetanus spores are found throughout the environment, usually in soil, dust, and animal waste.

9 Nanobacterium #The Virus and the Vaccine is the true story of a cancer-causing monkey virus, contaminated polio vaccine, and the millions of Americans exposed. #In the age of AIDS, SARS, Avian Flu, and Ebola, here is a real-life, riveting account of a carcinogenic monkey virus that contaminated America s most revered vaccine and the cancers it is causing today. #Jonas Salk's polio vaccine has taken on legendary quality as a medical miracle, for it largely eradicated one of the most feared diseases of the twentieth century. But the story of the vaccine has a dark side, one that has never been fully told before. In one of modern medicine s biggest blunders, between 1954 and 1963, 98 million Americans received polio vaccinations widely contaminated with a carcinogenic monkey virus, known as simian virus 40, or SV40. A concerted government effort downplayed the incident, and it was generally accepted that although oncogenic to laboratory animals, SV40 was harmless to humans. #But now SV40 is showing up in a variety of human lung, brain, bone, and lymphatic cancers in adults. It is also appearing in the cancers of some children too young to have received the contaminated Salk vaccine. #Nanobacteria sanguineum is an extremely nasty organism that severely compromises your immune system. Most people tested are infected with it. Almost anyone who has been vaccinated has it because the cow serum used to make vaccines has been contaminated. It will pass through the placenta so you have it if your mother was infected. Antibiotics are useless, with the exception of tetracycline. However, because of its ability to surround itself with a calcium shell when attacked, even tetracyline can't get at most of it. #The organism is pleomorphic (has many forms) and I have identified the frequencies in the F100 program below. Even a healthy infected person can use these frequencies for 45 minutes. With a moderately suppressed immune system, several hours may be required. A severly suppressed immune system may require 10 hours. #Infected people may notice a profound effect from the frequencies in the program below. It will improve the functioning of the immune system by at least a factor of three.

10 # This bacterium is suspected to have a cancer connection. #Many studies have reported the presence of simian virus 40 (SV40) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or protein in human brain tumors and bone cancers, malignant mesothelioma, and non-hodgkin's lymphoma. However, the small samples and lack of control groups in some reports have made it difficult to assess their reliability. #Results #Thirteen studies fulfilled the criteria for the investigation of primary brain cancers (661 tumors and 482 control samples). Specimens from patients with brain tumors were almost four times more likely to have evidence of SV40 infection than were those from controls (odds ratio [OR] = 3.9; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 2.6 to 5.8). The association was even stronger for mesothelioma (OR = 17; 95% CI: 10 to 28; based on 15 studies with 528 mesothelioma samples and 468 control samples) and for bone cancer (OR = 25; 95% CI: 6.8 to 88; based on four studies with 303 cancers and 121 control samples). SV40 DNA was also more frequent in samples from patients with non-hodgkin's lymphoma (OR = 5.4; 95% CI: 3.1 to 9.3; based on three studies with 301 cases and 578 control samples) than from controls. #Conclusion #These results establish that SV40 is associated significantly with brain tumors, bone cancers, malignant mesothelioma, and non-hodgkin's lymphoma. Studies are needed to assess current prevalence of SV40 infections. #Nanobacterium 2 #New frequencies have been found for another strain of nanobacteria. Anyone who has used the previous set needs to use the new set as well. The effects are dramatic if you are infected with it. #Recently, while working with a blood sample of lymphocytes that were not functioning properly, I tested the leukocyte to find out why it was sitting there fat, dumb, and happy, when it should have been eating pathogens. The cell appeared to be in perfect condition. The environment around the cell was fine. The culprit was the little organism in the cell wall pointed to by the arrow in the picture. This appears to be a nanobacteria and it had completely shut down the functioning of an otherwise healthy leukocyte.

11 #Nanobacteria sanguineum is an extremely nasty organism that severely compromises your immune system. Most people I have tested are infected with it. Almost anyone who has been vaccinated has it because the cow serum used to make vaccines has been contaminated. It will pass through the placenta so you have it if your mother was infected.

Even a healthy infected person can use these frequencies for 45 minutes. With a moderately suppressed immune system, several hours are required. A severly suppressed immune system may require 10 hours. #Infected people may notice a profound effect from the frequencies in the programs below. It will improve the functioning of the immune system by at least a factor of four. #Some people who have suggested that cholesterol buildup in the arteries is the result of nanobacteria. It may be that cholesterol is a response to the inflammation of the arteries now known to create problems is caused by nanobacteria, as well as other pathogens. It would explain why chelation therapy seems to work because the EDTA clears out calcium in the arteries that may be deposits from shells formed by nanobacteria. My tests indicate it would be wise to take oral EDTA capsules when using these frequencies. #If nanobacteria is distroyed does arterial plaque buildup go away? This is left as a research project for the reader. Followup and lab tests are essential to prove this one way or the other. What has definitely been experienced by infected people using these frequencies is an enhanced immune system, an increase in energy, and decreased need for sleep. In one case they turned a teenager whose long term survival was at stake into a normal energetic teenager overnight.

12 Bacillus Lichenformis #The first step in dealing with cancer electronically must be to eliminate all Bacillus Lichenformis from the body as it appears to be both a tumor promoter and a mutagen. Tumors will tend to grow or recur with this organism present. Also, any significant infection with this organism depresses the immune system and severely drains energy from the body, possibly one of the main reasons that newly diagnosed cancer patients often deteriorate so rapidly. Most people with a depressed immune system are infected with nanobacteria and that must be eliminated also. #Infected individuals should run this F100 program weekly for as long and as often as it takes to eliminate any detectable Bacillus Licheniformis. Multiple treatments will be required as this is a very persistence organism. CMV #CMV is a common virus that infects most people at some time during their lives but rarely causes obvious illness. It is a member of the herpes virus family. Other members of the herpes virus family cause chickenpox, infectious mononucleosis, fever blisters (herpes I) and genital herpes (herpes II). Like other herpes viruses, CMV infection can become dormant for a while and may reactivate at a later time. The virus is carried by people and is not associated with food, water or animals. #Most children and adults who are infected with CMV do not develop symptoms. Those who develop symptoms may experience an illness resembling infectious mononucleosis and have fever, swollen glands and feel tired. People with a compromised immune system (such as AIDS patients or those receiving chemotherapy) may experience more serious illness involving fever, pneumonia and other symptoms. Stabilize Immune System Resonant frequency therapy to assist in immune system stabilization. Excellent to address a host of immunological conditions. Arthritis, Poison Ivy, Allergies, Lupus, MS, etc Ask for this program for immune system stabilization.
