Even doctors get hysterical about viruses and now antibiotic resistant bacteria because they refused to learn about and use the best and safest treatments for them. As early as June 1, 1905 an article was printed in the New York Times[1] about the successful use of iodine for consumption/tuberculosis. Though iodine kills most pathogens on the skin within 90 seconds, its use as an antibiotic/antiviral/antifungal has been completely ignored by modern medicine.

Iodine exhibits activity against bacteria, molds, yeasts, protozoa, and many viruses; indeed, of all antiseptic preparations suitable for direct use on humans and animals and upon tissues, only iodine is capable of killing all classes of pathogens: gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, mycobacteria, fungi, yeasts, viruses and protozoa. Most bacteria are killed within 15 to 30 seconds of contact.

As public health officials struggle to track and contain a respiratory virus that has hospitalized hundreds of children across the U.S., there are now concerns that enteroovirus D68 may also cause paralysis in some cases and death in others. Samples collected from four patients who recently died have tested positive for enterovirus D68, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

The enterovirus is related to the common cold, and this strain has hit children hardest. Most only experience symptoms such as a runny nose, though a small percentage develop trouble breathing and have to be admitted to the intensive care unit. The possibility of paralysis adds another layer to the mystery around the virus as it has spread across the nation, and why it has caused such severe illness in so many children.

At Children’s Hospital Colorado, Dr. Chris Nyquist, the hospital’s director of infection prevention and control said, “The current virus that is circulating has no anti-viral medicine or vaccine so the common sense things are very important.” And what is more common sense then administering high dosages of magnesium chloride, sodium bicarbonate and iodine to fight infections?

It seems most doctors erroneously treat Ebola and other serious viral infections so that their patients end up in one of these boxes rather than follow common medical sense. With death rates so high one would think they would be looking for every medical option but they are not.

A new mosquito-borne illness is spreading across Latin America – victims describe this disease as “10 days of near unbearable pain.” An excruciating mosquito-borne illness called chikungunya arrived less than a year ago in the Americas is raging across the region, leaping from the Caribbean to the Central and South American mainland, and infecting more than 1 million people. Some cases already have emerged in the United States.

The disease is usually not fatal, but the epidemic has overwhelmed hospitals, cut economic productivity and caused its sufferers days of pain and misery and the count of victims is soaring. In El Salvador alone health officials report nearly 30,000 suspected cases, up from 2,300 at the beginning of August, and hospitals are filled with people with the telltale signs of the virus, including joint pain so severe it can be hard to walk.
