5G Health Risk

Add Comment

What Is 5G?

5G (the abbreviation for "fifth generation") is the latest wireless internet technology that promises lightning speed of download as well as an entirely new form of "Internet of Things".

This technology promises a trillions of dollars for the superpowers, no wonder these countries are enthusiastically paving the way for 5G.

5G is great. Just take note, 5G LTE can reach 50 times the power of the current 4G LTE technology speed. 5G will reduce download time to just nanoseconds - 10 gigabits per second, on estimates, which are about 50 to 100 times faster than our current 4G speed. And it is estimated there will be more than 100 billion devices that will be integrated into this network.

Health Risk of 5G

It is estimated that by 2020, 5G is already spread everywhere. But do you know the terrible risks that may occur?

What makes 5G 'frightening' is 5G may pose more health risks with the achievement of super-fast streaming speed and unlimited data capabilities by utilizing an unprecedented bandwidth called millimeter wave (MMW) which is a very high frequency radio wave 30 GHz and 300 GHz (as well as utilizing some mid-range and lower frequencies).

5G will also require a fantastic number of transmitters and EMF (Electronic Magnetic Fields) capacities that would be unimaginable.

This means that this new technology will require millions of more transmitters - more routers in our homes and scanners on every telephone mast about 150 to 200 feet above every street in the world.

The new "Internet of Things" takes us to a new world of comfort.

Imagine a whole world of connected devices - from water meters, medicine bottles, street lighting, refrigerators, and air conditioners, and all other electronic devices. Engines, cars, buildings, and devices will be integrated with electronic devices, software, sensors, routers, actuators, and network connectivity, allowing all to communicate in a nanosecond, unhindered.

Desiree Jaworski, executive director of the Center for Safer Wireless, explains, "5G signals will be harder to avoid, because 5G transmitters will be scattered. The question is, what is the impact of radiation from the "Internet of Things" in the 5G era?

Do you know that 5G technology can penetrate the skin to a depth of 8 millimeters. A recent study revealed that when radio waves penetrate the skin, they can cause skin diseases, inflammation that is the cause of modern diseases such as diabetes to cancer.

The study also implies that low-level radio wave radiation with a long list of health impacts are: Cell damage and DNA damage, Melatonin reduction, cell metabolic disorders, Mitochondrial energy production disturbances, and so on.

A study of the dangers of 5G EMF radiation so far, which concludes that 5G is "safe," regardless of the frequency of radio waves used as its information carrier medium, which may be far more dangerous to human health than it is today.

As Dr. Berkeley Professor. Joel Moskowitz cautioned that research on microwave waves has shown emissions that can cause gene toxicity and breaking of DNA strands.

And, like it or not, 5G era is coming. All we can do is reduce the potential risk of the effects of this 5G wave. So the best thing to do is protect yourself and your family from these powerful radio waves.

McDonald's Salad Poisoning recall, investigated by CDC

Add Comment
The outbreak has been traced back to McDonald’s salads, although the FDA has yet to figure out which ingredient in the salads is causing the outbreak. So far, 163 people in 10 states have fallen illness and three people have been hospitalized. There are currently no reported deaths.

There’s a food poisoning outbreak that started with McDonald’s salads, so for now, stay away from the green stuff. Some fast food customers in 10 states aren’t exactly “lovin’ it” as of late. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is investigating a multistate food poisoning outbreak thought to be linked to salads sold at McDonald’s.

The Golden Arches has pinpointed its lettuce blend as the source, but the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is still working to identify common ingredients eaten by each customer before they became sick, and multiple components of the salads are under consideration.

According to the FDA, the CDC is investigating a multi-state outbreak of cyclosporiasis, which is an illness you can get when you consume fruits or vegetables that have been contaminated with feces. Cyclosporiasis can cause all kinds of nasty stomach symptoms, like diarrhea, nausea, and cramping, and if untreated, it could last as long as a month or come back after it’s gone away — so definitely not something you want to mess with.

The illness in question is called cyclosporiasis. It is an intestinal sickness caused by a microscopic parasite called Cyclospora cayetanensis. People become infected about one week after consuming contaminated food or drink — typically imported fruits and vegetables.


Symptoms can last from one day to a month or longer, and include watery diarrhea, frequent and “sometimes explosive,” bowel movements, loss of appetite, weight loss, stomach pain, bloating, gas, nausea, and fatigue. Some may also experience vomiting and other flu-like symptoms.

So how can you avoid getting sick? The best way is obviously to stay away from McDonald’s salads for now, but the CDC says that if you’ve eaten a salad from McDonalds since mid-May in the states that have been affected, you should see a doctor and get tested for the illness, especially if you’ve experienced diarrhea. So far, those states include Iowa, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Wisconsin. And if you have a salad that was purchased in those states still hanging out in your fridge, throw it away.

Hopefully the investigation will reveal the exact cause of the outbreak soon, and McDonald’s salads will be safe to eat once again. For now? Maybe just stick to McDonald’s fries. You have to admit that McDonald’s makes some of the best in the world, especially when they’re hot out of the fryer.

salmonellosis, definitions, causes, signs and symptoms

Add Comment

Definition

What is salmonellosis?

Salmonellosis is a disease caused by Salmonella bacteria infection in the stomach and intestines. The disease is similar to gastritis. Most patients with mild infections will recover within 4-7 days without treatment. Transmission can occur when people eat foods that are contaminated with bacteria (like eating in the same restaurant). Some people with acute diarrhea are hospitalized for intravenous surgery and get antibiotics.

How common is salmonellosis?

Most Salmonellosis patients live in poor, polluted, contaminated, and bacterial environments. Therefore, the quality of food hygiene can increase the risk of toxic food and other infections. In addition, you are also at high risk of Salmonellosis if you make contact with an infected person.

Furthermore, children, the elderly as well as people with weakened immune systems are more likely to suffer from Salmonellosis. The rate of Salmonellosis sufferers in developing countries is much higher than in developed countries.

Signs & symptoms

What are the signs and symptoms of salmonellosis?

The main symptoms are diarrhea. Symptoms may be mild, such as diarrhea 2-3 times per day. Symptoms can also be accompanied by severe diarrhea every 10 or 15 minutes. There are also a number of other symptoms such as stools with blood, stomach cramps, vomiting, fever and headaches.

There may be some signs or symptoms not listed above. If you have certain concerns about the above symptoms, please consult your doctor.

When should I see a doctor?
If you have any of the signs or symptoms listed above or have any questions, please consult your doctor. Everyone's body is different. always discuss with your doctor about the best choice for your health condition.

Cause

What causes salmonellosis?

You can get Salmonellosis through food, especially eggs, beef, poultry, fruits, water or contaminated milk. Cooked foods can reduce the risk of infection, but do not completely eliminate the risk of infection. Salmonellosis can be transmitted from one individual to another if not washing hands after using the toilet. Salmonellosis can also move from pet to human, such as turtles and iguanas.

Contain Salmonella, CDC Recall Turkey Meat

Add Comment
CDC have been declare warning that you should be aware if you've purchased or plan to purchase any of raw turkey products. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, an ongoing Salmonella outbreak is linked to raw turkey. The outbreak is not particular to a specific brand. Raw turkey products include ground turkey, whole turkeys, turkey pieces, and raw turkey pet food.

90 people in 26 states has been affected

An outbreak of salmonella linked to raw turkey products has sickened at least 90 people across 26 states, including Indiana, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Among them, 40 people have been hospitalized, but no deaths have been reported.

Illnesses have been reported in Alaska, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Wisconsin, according to the CDC.


The CDC reports that the outbreak has affected 90 people in 26 states since November 2017, and led to 40 hospitalizations. No deaths have been reported. The outbreak for this strain of Salmonella began in November. According to Consumer Reports, the CDC did not alert the public until now because it had not yet identified a common source it could tell people to look out for. Even now, Consumer Reports says that the outbreak has not been traced to a specific farm, manufacturer, or processing plant.

Laura Gieraltowski, Ph.D. from the CDC told Consumer Reports, "We’re concerned that there’s widespread contamination — from live turkeys, to raw turkey products that people are handling and eating." She added, "We have ill people that are reporting lots of different types of turkey products with lots of different brands, and purchasing them from many different locations."

The CDC is not suggesting that people avoid raw turkey altogether, but rather that they practice caution when preparing raw turkey and eat turkey only when it has been properly cooked. The CDC advises washing your hands before and after cooking or eating, after going to the bathroom or changing a diaper, and after contact with animals; cooking turkey to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit and reheating leftovers to that same temperature; and avoiding spreading germs from raw turkey by properly cleaning preparation areas, utensils, and cutting boards, and using separate cutting boards for raw meat, if possible.

Additionally, the CDC notes that it does not recommend feeding raw diets to pets. Two of the people who reported being infected by Salmonella live in homes where pets were fed raw turkey pet food.

Symptoms of Salmonella include diarrhea, stomach cramps, and fever that appear 12 to 72 hours after exposure. Usually the illness last for four to seven days and clears up on its own, but in some cases, requires hospitalization if the diarrhea is severe. Salmonella can lead to death in serious cases involving the infection spreading to other parts of the body and the blood stream if the person quickly treated with antibiotics.

Raw turkey is the latest food to look out for when it comes to Salmonella, but it's not the only one consumers should be aware of. The CDC continues to provide updates on foods linked to Salmonella and recalled items on its site. Currently, these also include Kellogg's Honey Smacks cereal, Hy-Vee brand's Spring Pasta Salad, and Caito Foods' pre-cut melon. All of these items have already been recalled by the brands. To be safe, it's best to stay updated about which products and types of food are being linked to the bacteria. More information about Salmonella outbreaks and affected products can always be found on the CDC site's Salmonella page.

What Is Bipolar Disorder?

Although similar but bipolar disorder is different from mood swing disorder, Bipolar disorder is the condition of a person who is studied and done drastically, itself suddenly becomes very useful from the previous gloomy. Another name for bipolar disorder is a depressive bead.

There are two episodes in bipolar disorder, ie episodes of mania (rising phase) and depression (phase down). In the period of mania, the patient becomes visibly vibrant, energetic, and fast-talking. While in the period of depression, the patient will look sad, lethargic, and lost interest in daily activities.

Based on the mood episode turnover, there are some people with bipolar disorder who experience a normal state between mania and depression. There is also a rapid turnover of the normal cycle (rapid cycling). In addition, there are also bipolar disorders that experience interference and depression simultaneously. For example, comfort is very energetic, but this time also very sad and hopeless. . This function is called the mixed state.

Causes of bipolar disorder

Until now, experts do not yet know what causes the occurrence of bipolar disorder. Some argue that this condition is caused by an imbalance neurotransmitter or brain function controller. In addition, there is also a opinion that bipolar disorder associated with genetic factors (heredity).

Several factors that may increase a person's risk of bipolar disorder are high levels of stress, traumatic experiences, alcohol or drug addiction, and have a family history of close (siblings or parents) suffering from bipolar disorder.

Diagnose of bipolar disorder

It takes psychological evaluation to diagnose bipolar disorder. In this case, the doctor usually asks about the patient's behavior patterns, the mood he is feeling, and what he thinks. In addition, doctors also usually ask patients or family patients to provide information relating to episodes of mania or depression.

Because there are other conditions that can also cause the same symptoms as bipolar disorder, namely hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism, then physical examination associated with the two diseases is also necessary to ensure the patient's condition.

Treatment of bipolar disorder

The purpose of treating bipolar disorder is to decrease the frequency of episodes of mania and depression in order for the patient to live normally and blend in with the environment.

In addition to improving lifestyle, treatment usually involves the administration of drugs in combination with psychological therapy (eg, cognitive behavioral therapy).

7. Foods rich in carbohydrates such as wheat flour. Carbohydrates in flour can increase blood sugar levels that eventually trigger tumor cells and cancer, especially breast cancer, liver, intestine and stomach cancer.

8. Fruits and vegetables are contaminated with pesticides. The content of pesticides that eventually make you get cancer. Before consumed, the fruit and vegetables should be washed with water flows.

Carcinogenin in our daily activity

Last week we heard about recall of valsartan, why valsartan has been recall? it's because valsartan contain NDMA, then what is NDMA? NDMA is compound that potent cause cancer or in the other name its act as carcinogen, during this time you may have heard the term carcinogen. Very often people say that certain foods contain carcinogens, so you should limit their consumption because it can cause cancer. However, do you know what is actually a carcinogen?

Carcinogens are not only contained in food alone, but in fact many things around us that contain carcinogens. For more details, see the following explanation.

What is a carcinogen?
Carcinogens are things that can cause cancer, can be in the form of chemicals, viruses, or even drugs and radiation used to treat cancer itself. In essence, things that directly cause cancer can be called a carcinogen. In general, cancer is caused by a carcinogen or a combination of the carcinogens themselves.

Carcinogens can work in many ways, directly destroying DNA in cells, causing abnormalities in normal cells, and another way of causing cell damage that causes cells to divide faster, which in turn can lead to the development of cancer.

What are the examples of carcinogens?
Carcinogens have been classified into 3 groups by The International Agency for Research on Cancer. The classification consists of agents and groups of agents, mixtures, and environmental exposures.

Agents and agency groups, The example is:
Aflatoxin, is naturally produced by certain fungi
Arsenic compounds
Asbestos
Benzene
Benzidine
Nickel compounds
Solar radiation
Powder containing asbestiform fibers
Vinyl chloride, and others.

Mixed, The example is:
Alcoholic beverages
An analgesic mixture containing phenacetin
Tobacco products
Tobacco smoke
Wood powder, and others.

Environmental exposure, Examples such as:
Aluminum production
Making or repairing shoes and boots
Processing coal with coal gasification
Coke production
Making furniture
The formation of iron and steel
Rubber industry
Exposure to sulfuric acid in the work environment, and others.
In essence, these carcinogens can be found in chemicals present in your surroundings, environmental radiation (such as from sunlight), radiation from medical devices, viruses, drugs, and lifestyle factors.

These carcinogens are not certain to cause cancer in everyone who is exposed. The ability of carcinogens in causing cancer among individuals varies, depending on the amount of exposure, the duration of exposure, the health of the exposed individual, and other factors. The susceptibility of every person exposed to carcinogens in causing cancer also depends on heredity. Heredity plays an important role as a cause of cancer. In many cases, the incidence of cancer is caused by many factors that work together.

Carcinogens in food
Be careful, certain foods that you usually eat may also contain carcinogenic compounds. Recent studies have shown that processed meats contain carcinogenic compounds, which means they can cause cancer, especially colorectal cancer and stomach cancer.

Processed meat in question is meat that has been through the process of salting, preservation, fermentation, fumigation, or other processes aimed at improving taste and storage. Examples of processed meats are bacon, ham, sausage, salami, corned beef, and so forth.

This is because processed meat has the following content:
Meat processing, such as preservation (which adds nitrate or nitrite to meat) or fumigation, can lead to the formation of carcinogenic compounds, such as N-nitroso-compound (NOC) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs).

This is exacerbated by the content of heme iron in meat, which can support the production of NOC in meat.
Cooking meat at high temperatures, such as frying or baking, can also trigger the production of carcinogenic compounds, such as heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and PAHs. HCA is formed when the creatine and amino acids in the meat react to heat generated from the cooking process. HCA is one of the agents that can cause cancer.

Therefore, you should select red meat that is still fresh and cooked itself compared to processed meat cooked in the factory. You can also process the red meat by boiling or steaming rather than frying or burning which results in higher heat. This can make the meat you eat healthier.

In addition, balance your diet by eating vegetables and fruits. Vegetables and fruits can reduce levels of DNA damage and oxidation of carcinogenic compounds, thereby reducing your risk of cancer.
