Meningitis, bacterial

Meningitis, bacterial: Inflammation of the meninges due to a bacterial infection. Haemophilus influenzae type B (HIB) was formerly the leading cause of bacterial meningitis before the 1990s, but childhood vaccinationshave reduced the occurrence of meningitis due to H. influenzae. Streptococcus pneumoniae and Neisseria meningitidis are the leading causes of bacterial meningitis. High fever, headache, and stiff neck are common symptoms of bacterial meningitis in anyone over the age of 2 years. In newborns and small infants, the classic symptoms of fever, headache, and neck stiffness may be absent and the infant may only appear to be inactive, irritable, vomiting, or feeding poorly. A sample of spinal fluid obtained via lumbar puncture can be examined to confirm the diagnosis and fully identify the bacteria involved and their antibiotic sensitivity. Treatment is started as early as possible, in the hospital. Appropriate antibiotic treatment has reduced the risk of death from most common types of bacterial meningitis to below
15 percent, although the risk is higher among the 'elderly.

Did You Know Some Dietitians Are Starting to Trademark Terms?

Fix Your Credit

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.

Stop receiving "pre-screened" offers of credit in your mail for 5 years. I just did it.

Call: 1(888) 567-8688

Note: This may actually help your credit. This number should be displayed on all your credit offers.

Protect Yourself: Be Aware

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. A member of nafwa.org lives in one of your communities. Pictures available are SHOCKING!

COMCAST/XFINITY/VERIZON:

Paying for nothing. Cancel your cable. Get a Roku box and antenna from RadioShack. Just gotta wait for a cheaper internet provider though they are coming. Google get on that.

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.
