Abstract Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) represents the third most common cause of heart failure and the most frequent cause of heart transplantation. Infectious, mostly viral, and autoimmune mechanisms, together with genetic abnormalities, have been reported as three major causes of DCM. We hypothesized that Lyme disease (LD), caused by spirochete Borrelia burgdorferi (Bb), might be an important cause of new-onset unexplained DCM in patients living in a highly endemic area for LD such as the Czech Republic.
Linda’s comments: To begin with I stopped drinking from fountains like this years ago. I do my best to drink beverages from glass bottles. Not always easy, but I do my best. This is news that should be shared with all your families, friends, colleagues, schools, etc., etc., etc. What is scary is knowing that you can be infected with “fecal” material. Read the article below carefully, as there are several bacteria’s, which can be deadly to a person with a chronic illness. Also think about our children. I would print this out and show your children. They need to know how dangerous soda fountains can be to them. Sometimes that is all it takes to get them to listen up, especially if they know they could be drinking fecal material…it is worth the shot….
A group of microbiologists at Virginia’s Hollins University found alarming levels of bacteria, possibly from feces, in fast-food soda fountains.
A scary 48 percent of machine beverages tested contained coliform bacteria – which can originate in fecal matter, the International Journal of Food Microbiology study showed. Even more worrying: Most of the bacteria identified were resistant to antibiotics.

(NaturalNews) The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today stands accused of taking part in the kidnapping and illegal extradition of a permanent resident of Ecuador, in violation of both international law and Ecuadorian law.
Greg Caton, owner and operator of Alpha Omega Labs (www.AltCancer.com), an herbal products company that sells anti-cancer herbal remedies made with Ecuadorian medicinal herbs, was arrested at gunpoint at a road checkpoint in Ecuador, then transported to an Ecuadorian holding facility to await a hearing on December 14, 2009. Caton was expected to be set free by the Ecuadorian judge at that hearing based on the facts of the case which indicated Caton’s permanent residency in Ecuador is legal and valid.
Linda’s comment: This is so very important for those of us with chronic illness, although if healthy people pay attention they might not become chronically ill. We use to be able to say that if you bought organic, you would be safe and get no GMO, however that is not true today. If you see USDA organic, research it, as I have found during my own research that USDA can not be trusted.
I have found that my lifelong daily detox, helps me tremendously should I happen to ingest some of the GMO poisons. If I eat something that is GMO, I immediately take a handful of Wobenzyme systemic enzyme and it helps to eat up the poison. I use Wobenzyme also on an empty stomach, usually 8-10 3 times daily, and this was a big part of my protocol while fighting the Cancers. Make sure you get the “real” Wobenzyme from Germany and not the wanna-be….read the label…

• GM plantings make up a mere 2.4% of global agricultural crop land
• Nearly 80% of the global area planted to GM crops was in just three countries – the US, Argentina and Brazil
• The US alone plants over 50% of the world’s GM crops
• Less than 3% of cropland in India and China is planted with GM crops, almost exclusively just 1 crop – GM cotton
ARE GM CROPS EXPANDING IN EUROPE?
In the 27 countries of the European Union, GM crop cultivation represents a mere 0.21% of agricultural land
The number of hectares of GM crops fell last year in Europe
EuropaBio inflated the figures for GM crops grown in Europe by almost a quarter to mask the decline in the area of GM crops being grown has actually fallen in Europe every year since 2005.
Linda’s comments: Chemicals in newborns….sounds very scary and disgusting, but a mom carrying an unborn baby is dumping all her poisons and toxins into the baby. So, if you are wearing perfumes, body lotions, etc., etc., etc. and eating bad foods, then your unborn child will be the recipient of all that garbage. Pretty sickening isn’t it??
Dr Doris Rapp, MD, a world renowned pediatrician has tried for many years to education the world about all the toxins and chemical’s our children are born with. She has written many books trying to warn doctors and parents about these horrible exposures our children are being slammed with.
Those of us who are chronically ill have carried many of these poisonous toxins and pathogens around with us for years. We become ill and our bodies can not heal because of the body burden of pathogens and toxins.
Back to our children…..what do we do?? One thing we can do is STOP BUYING THE GARBAGE..
consumers are in control and do not realize it. Ok, so what do we do with our toxic bodies. We can begin by getting on a lifelong detox program. We can find the products that will help neutralize these toxins and pathogens and take them daily. I did, and IT WORKS.
Take charge of your own healthcare and JUST SAY NO….if you stop buying the crap the industry will be forced to change. YOU, ME and all who purchase products are in charge here. Take a stand and stop buying the garbage.
Tests Find More Than 200 Chemicals in Newborn Umbilical Cord Blood
Study commissioned by environmental group finds high levels of chemicals in U.S. minority infants
By Sara Goodman
U.S. minority infants are born carrying hundreds of chemicals in their bodies, according to a report released today by an environmental group.
The Environmental Working Group’s study commissioned five laboratories to examine the umbilical cord blood of 10 babies of African-American, Hispanic and Asian heritage and found more than 200 chemicals in each newborn.
The occurrence of Toxoplasma gondii and Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato in
Ixodes ricinus ticks from east Poland with the use of pcr.

715 Ixodes ricinus ticks from 4 regions of Lublin macroregion (Piotrowice,
Polesie National Park, Dabrowa and Leczynsko-Wlodawskie Lakeland) were examined
for the presence of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato and Toxoplasma gondi, using
polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and nested-PCR methods. The clonal type of
samples tested positive for T. gondii was identified by amplification and
fragmenting with restrictions enzymes (RFLP-restriction fragment length
polymorphism). Positive results were confirmed by sequencing.

Linda’s BRAVO to yet another conventional doctors who sees the light!! This excites me….Sorry but any doctor that tells you to restrict your VitD, I would say RUN FORREST RUN!! I have battled (5) Cancers, but at the time I wasn’t paying attention to my VitD levels….it finally bit me in the back….It has taken me a few years of massive amounts of D to get my levels in a safe margin. I now take 10,000 to 15,000 units daily. to maintain safe levels……
Doc Gurley is RIGHT ON….she lists 6 VitD myths….read and learn…..
Vitamin D dose myths – 6 fun factoids
As the mountain of vitamin D research (showing its importance) grows to Everest heights, you may be wondering about some statements that are thrown around as “truth.” Here are some fun vitamin D myths to pass along (by email, twitter or facebook) to friends, family and loved ones, because, when it comes to vitamin D, you want to get your dose (even of information) JUST RIGHT: Continued
1 pound chicken/turkey, cut into bite-size pieces (Organic)
a double pie crust
1 tablespoon coconut oil
2 cups chopped vegetables, like celery, carrots, and onions, green beans (Organic)
spices, like salt, pepper, thyme, oregano, parsley (fresh if you can)
1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup flour (can use gluten free flour)
3/4 cups chicken broth (organic)
1 cup milk(organic)
Heat the oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Saute the vegetables until they are soft, stirring constantly. Add the spices to your veggies while sauteing. Remove the sauteed vegetables from the heat when they are soft. Continued
*********They had to spend thousands perhaps, even more to find that Birds are playing an important role in the spread of Lyme Disease?? What??? Are you telling me that birds stop at each border and request the right to fly over your state?? What a big waste of money….why doesn’t Yale and the Infectious Disease docs and other specialists at Yale, who say there is NO chronic Lyme, spend money finding a cure for Lyme disease instead of finding out what we patient’s already know. Give me a break!!
*********It is time that patient’s start standing up and pushing back….sitting back and doing nothing is getting us no where.
*********We need to stop “fearing” city hall, when we can be city hall in these Lyme wars.
*********Just remember folks, Lyme isn’t just carried by ticks….look to birds, rodents, mice, we need to understand that it is up to us Lymie’s to take a stand.

Linda
Article Excerpt:
New Haven, Conn. – The range of Lyme disease is spreading in North America and it appears that birds play a significant role by transporting the Lyme disease bacterium over long distances, a new study by the Yale School of Public Health has found. The study appears online in the journal Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment.
Researchers analyzed published records and concluded that at least 70 species of North American birds are susceptible to infection by black-legged ticks (Ixodes scapularis), the principal vector of the Lyme disease bacterium (Borrelia burgdorferi). The evidence also suggests that these bird species are dispersing infected ticks into areas that had previously been free of the disease, such as Canada.
Lyme disease bacterium is usually associated with small mammals such as mice and squirrels. Immature ticks (in the larval and nymphal stages) become infected with the bacterium when they feed on these mammals. During subsequent blood meals, an infected tick transmits the infection to other hosts, including humans. White-tailed deer-while playing an important role in maintaining and spreading tick populations-are a biological dead end for the bacterium because its blood is immune to infection.
Birds, however, are not immune and numerous species get infected and are capable of transmitting the pathogen onto ticks, the researchers found. What remains to be seen is whether the B. burgdorferi strains that can infect birds can also cause disease in humans. If so, the role of birds in the epidemiology of Lyme disease could be profound.
