Perhaps most of you have heard about hydrogen peroxide. What is this? Right now I’ve read that hydrogen peroxide is good remedy for bad breath caused by bacteria and germs in the mouth. Peroxide can kill those germs and bacteria and is especially effective because it can rinse away areas you might miss with your toothbrush, such as between the teeth or in the back of the mouth. Sartrting to look for more information about Hydrogen Peroxide I found a lot of books and other publications dedicated this theme.

For instance the book, titled Hydrogen Peroxide Medical Miracle by William Campbell Douglass, MD (2003)

‘Doctor J.S. Haldone reported in 1919 that oxygen dissolved in the blood would probably be a good way to combat infection. (Remember that in those days infection was it. If you didn’t get stomped to death by a horse, you would most likely die of infection. Cancer was not a scourge and cardiovascular disease had not been invented yet.)
Hydrogen peroxide will put extra oxygen in your blood. There’s no doubt about that. But prevailing expert opinion is that it has no value. The red cells must transport oxygen for effective oxygen delivery, they tell us. But this is manifestly untrue. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, for instance, where oxygen is forced into the blood under pressure, can be lifesaving in carbon monoxide poisoning, cyanide poisoning, and smoke Inhalation. But pushing oxygen into the blood by using pressure is an expensive business. A hyperbaric oxygen unit costs about $100,000. Hydrogen peroxide costs pennies. So if you can get oxygen into the blood cheaply and safely, maybe cancer (which doesn’t like oxygen), emphysema, AIDS, and many other terrible diseases can be treated effectively.

Intravenous hydrogen peroxide rapidly relieves allergic reactions, Influenza symptoms, and acute viral Infections. These effects are thought to be due to the oxidation of the various foreign substances in the blood.

Tumor cells, bacteria, and other unwanted foreign elements in the blood can usually be destroyed with hydrogen peroxide treatment. Peroxide has a definite destructive effect on tumors, and, in fact, cancer therapy may prove to be the most dramatic and useful place for peroxide therapy.

No one expects to live forever. But we would all like to have a George Burns finish. The prospect of finishing life in a nursing home after abandoning your tricycle in the mobile home park Is not appealing. Then comes the loss of control of vital functions – the ultimate humiliation. Is life supposed to be from tricycle to tricycle and diaper to diaper? You come into this world crying, but do you have to leave crying? I don’t believe you do. And you won’t either after you see the evidence.
Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? Read on and
decide for yourself.’

You probably know that asbestos is dangerous. It can cause diseases such as mesothelioma, a deadly lung cancer, and asbestosis, a debilitating disease that interferes with breathing.

You may have heard that asbestos is banned in the United States, but it isn’t. It is still being used in some kinds of flooring and roofing materials; in some automobile parts, such as brake pads; in some fireproof clothing; and in a number of other products. Should this be a concern?

Maybe. It is thought the danger is small, but small is not zero. And asbestos has been banned completely in many other countries. Why isn’t it banned in the U.S.?

Here’s the scoop: In 1989, the Environmental Protection Agency drew up regulations asbestos under the Toxic Substances Control Act. However, two years later, a New Orleans circuit court of appeal overturned the regulations. As a result of the court’s decision, a ban on new uses of asbestos remained in effect, but old uses remained legal.

Asbestos is a mineral that breaks into small fibers when disturbed. The fibers are dangerous if ingested and more dangerous if breathed into the lungs. There are two primary kinds of asbestos, called serpentine and amphibole because of the shapes of the fibers. Amphibole asbestos has been banned globally since the 1980s. It is considered the more dangerous type of asbestos because, if you breathe it, it stays in your lungs longer and causes more damage.

However, serpentine asbestos, especially a form called “chrysotile,” is still in commercial use in the United States and some other countries.

So, asbestos isn’t just something found in the attics of old houses. It might be in a product made this year. Which products should be a concern?

Auto parts, especially brakes or clutch linings. Major U.S. automakers say they do not use asbestos in their parts. However, “aftermarket” suppliers of replacement parts sometimes do use asbestos. If you buy “off brand” parts to save on auto repairs, there could be asbestos in the brake pads and shoes, clutch linings, and other “friction” car parts. Don’t assume asbestos isn’t in auto parts just because it wasn’t listed on a label.

Asbestos in brake pads or other parts shouldn’t be a danger to drivers or passengers. However, auto shop workers and home mechanics do risk danger of exposure to asbestos. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has guidelines for minimizing the asbestos danger of working with car parts.

Construction materials such as roof shingles, floor tiles, cement pipes and boards, caulking compounds, and joint cements. The asbestos in these products is unlikely to break away and become airborne with regular, day-to-day use. If these products someday crumble from age or disaster, however, cleanup crews should take care not to breathe the dust.

Fireproof clothing and protective gear. First, if you aren’t a firefighter, stay away from fireproof clothing or fire protection gear. Especially as the clothing and gear become worn, fibers could break away and get into your lungs. If you are a firefighter, wear respirator masks with approved HEPA filters when fighting fires or training in fireproof clothing and gear.

If you do work with such products, please don’t be complacent just because you feel fine now, keep your health seeking mesothelioma treatment. It can take many years for symptoms to develop after exposure to asbestos.

You must know that airplane crash doesn’t necessarily mean certain death. Surviving a plane crash is reality and in fact over 90% of plane crashes have survivors. For instance only in the US, between 1983 and 2000, there were 568 plane crashes in which from 53,487 people onboard, 51,207 were survived. Every air traveler hopes they will never have to plane crash and I wish you so very much but however each of us have to learn what to do in such situation.

There are many things you might consider to increase your chances of surviving such as:

• how to survive the moment of impact
• the life and death decisions you should make during the evacuation
• what to do if there is a fire onboard
• how to survive if your plane ditches into water
• statistically where you should sit to increase your chances of surviving.

According to BBC world leading aviation safety expert Professor Ed Galea has studied over 2,000 survivor reports and compiled a unique database.

“Surviving an aircraft crash is not a matter of fate. You can help yourself getting out of an aircraft quickly, and so there are things you can do to improve your chances of surviving,” says Professor Galea.
He has discovered what all these survivors were doing that got them off the plane alive and his findings are extraordinary.

“This seat belt is different to what’s in your car; it’s a latch that you’ve got to pull.”

If your plane is about to crash, you may be told to adopt the brace position – an important step, says Tom Barth from AmSafe Aviation, an expert in how to survive an impact.

“The brace position is a position that will offer you the best chance to survive in a crash because it stops you from flying forward and striking the seat or interior in front of you,” says Mr Barth.
“The important thing is to get your upper torso down as much as possible, limiting the ‘jackknife’ effect from impact forces.”

“The airbag is folded up in the seatbelt itself and deploys away from the occupant, making it safe for children and adults. The airbags inflate very rapidly in about 30 milliseconds, which is much faster than you can blink your eye.”

“Look around you and see where your nearest cabin crew are, because they’re the people who will tell you what to do and will make a huge difference. Then look where your nearest exits are, both in front, behind and across, and work out how you would get there.”

“I count the seat rows from my seating position to the exit. So in the event of smoke or if emergency lighting fails and it’s very dark, I know the number of seat rows and I can feel my way to an exit. By counting the seat backs I’ll know when I’ve reached the exit row.”
