Flesh Eating Bacteria -- was: Drug Induced Nutrient Depletions.

Morning Alobar,

 

Thanks, that is a great article.

 

>>> I did a quick web scan on the topic. One interesting

>opinion jumped out at me. No idea if it is valid. See below.

 

I did likewise and read a few but I missed this one.

 

And ..... believe it or not, this article reinforces my suspicions.

 

This block below opens up a huge can of worms, if,.... in fact this is true.

 

First, " no flesh eating bacteria exists " . Instead, a major breakdown of

body chemistry is what destroys the cells.

You know, Wayne, I came to a similar conclusion on my own

based on a scare story from a fictional story on TV. Not very

scientific, I know. But just a hunch. However, I have a further

theory here. Again, no proof whatsoever. I think that a lot of the

degradation break-down products from someone with this so-called

infection are in themselves toxic & can poison someone else to the

point where that person can " catch " the destructive mechanism unless

their immune system is in tip-top shape. And soooooo many people

have marginal or partially compromized immune systems these days

because of bad diets, prescription drugs, gross over-use of

antibiotics, chronic lack of sleep, etc., that many people are

susceptable. Not sure what to call this. It is not really

infection, as the bacteria are not the causative agents. They mearly

proliferate at the site of tissue breakdown (opportunistic infection,

as in many infections secondary to AIDS) which is caused by a

person's not being able to handle the toxic breakdown products which

they were exposed to.

 

Does this make sense to you, Wayne?

I met a woman who survived FEB. I cannot describe what her arm looked like.

There are not the words. There had been a rumor that someone in a

Sacramento hospital had it, but it was all very hush-hush.

 

She told me that the hospital told her she got it from something on the

skins of potatoes. She was peeling potatoes shortly before she came down

with it. She swore that's what they said.

 

I know, from meeting her, that she was a drug addict, but couldn't tell what

drug. Probably a combination of street and prescription.

 

Still, I'll never eat many potatoes again, LOL.
