Legionnaire disease Legionnaire disease: A disease due to the bacteria Legionella pneumophila found in plumbing, shower heads and water-storage tanks. Outbreaks of Legionella pneumonia have been attributed to evaporative condensers and cooling towers. The bacteria thrives in the mist sprayed from air-conditioning ducts and so it can infest an entire building or airplane. Travelers are especially vulnerable in the closed space within a plane. Home hot water pipes have also been found to be a common source of the disease. The bacteria flourish at temperatures between 90 and 105 degrees and so can grow in the slimy gunk lining residential hot water pipes. People contract the bacteria by inhaling drops of water while showering, washing or even drinking. Legionnaire disease can cause a massive pneumonia associated with collapse of the respiratory function. It can be an overwhelming and sometimes fatal illness. The disease was first identified as a sequel of the 1976 convention of the American Legion in some of the Legionnaires who had attended the convention. It was therefore named Legionnaire disease. The distinguished surgeon/writer Richard Selzer has recounted his own near-fatal experience with Legionnaire disease in "Raising the Dead. A Doctor's Encounter with His Own Mortality" (Whittle/Viking, New York, 1993). MedTerms (TM) is the Medical Dictionary of MedicineNet.com. We Bring Doctors' Knowledge To You |

Stop those stupid credit offers after all. Did you know they 'prescreen' you and send you offers only if they like what they see? Sounds obvious to me, but I think this is bigger than meets the eye.

Are You A Resident of Hometown America or ELS?
Hometown America has focused all its efforts on stealing the money of seniors. ELS has bought out most of Hometown's 'useless' properties. They have bigger plans and cash at hand. They are entangled with FedEx and Hometown, too. Sell your stock FAST. FYI, you will pay less taxes per year on a home and land you actually own than with one of these plasticized community properties. A $600 per month lot fee with a neighbor you can hear doing baby talk to their cat or hearing major diarrhea spurts is what ELS is all about. ELS is no China.

Prescription for Nutritional Healing
By Phyllis A. Balch, CNC
Prescription for Nutritional Healing is the most thorough drug-free guide to managing chronic conditions I have ever come across. It is an 800 page, A to Z, guide providing alternative and holistic approaches to almost every common disease. I highly recommend this book to anyone, especially practicing dietitians, looking to expand their holistic knowledge. If you, like me, consistently counsel patients not responding to or interested in Western Medicine, then this is your answer.
