TB IN SOUTH AFRICA April 23, 2008
Posted by frostygirl in News, Uncategorized.add a comment
Just a short post on the African mindset on extreme resistant TB.
The health authorities have warned the people about the dangers of contamination and that all people suffering from the extreme resint TB virus has to be hospitalized and remain under strict quarantine to avoid further spread of the disease.
So what do these patients do? The break out of a secure facility they are housed in and go home to visit their families for “Easter” and could not care at all that they might be spreading the germ to their family and thereby signing their death warrants.
How do you reason with unreasonable people?

HIV /AIDS IN AFRICA, WHY MEDICATE? April 13, 2008
Posted by frostygirl in Tradition.2 comments
Carrying on from my previous posts on the African “mindset” we need to know that it does not matter how much money is spent on medication for HIV /AIDS in Africa, the disease will not be eradicated because of the prevalent mindset on the continent.
Most of the African nations do not believe in using condoms even if they have the HIV virus. In the African culture it is acceptable to:
-
Be sexually active from a young age
-
Have sexual relations with more than one person
-
Have sex outside of marriage
and there is no stigma attached to being sexually active with numerous partners therefore, because the use of condoms is scoffed at, more and more “new” HIV/AIDS cases are reported daily.
If every HIV/AIDS sufferer in Africa had to answer the following question: “Do you ALWAYS use a condom when you have sexual intercourse?” More than 50% of them will answer: “No.”
It is as if they do not comprehend that by having unprotected sex they are actually responsible for signing a death warrant over their sexual partners.
Their witchdoctors have even told them that if they have sex with a virgin they will be healed from the disease causing numerous young virgins and babies to be raped by men who believe that they would then be healed.
So my question is, why waste money on medication for this disease when the people who use the medicine still go and have unprotected sex with willing partners because they do not care or do not believe that they are spreading the disease through sexual intercourse. Rather use the funds to educate the next generation to live morally clean lives thereby avoiding catching the disease. If someone was a victim and was infected through no fault of their own then they are entitled to free medicine, but if people live a sexually active life with numerous partners in an unprotected manner they should live (or die) with the consequences of their actions.
People are dying from starvation all over the world, rather use the funds earmarked for HIV /AIDS globally to feed people in need of basic food items.

PETROL PRICES SPIRAL! April 4, 2008
Posted by frostygirl in News.1 comment so far
Petrol/fuel prices are spiralling out of control worldwide and it is time that serious consideration be given by every individual and organization to use alternative energy. Not just to clean the air but also to save money on fuel and to force oil producing countries to bring the price of oil down. If the demand decreases they will have to reduce prices.
That is why I have listed water4gas on my blog, I have asked a mechanic I know to read all the specifications given by Ozzy on this fuel saving device and he said that it looks like the real thing and that if properly installed every vehicle owner will have an awesome saving. It is cheap and simple and that is what I like.
I would like to receive comments from people in the USA on this product to find out if anyone has installed the device and to give us some feedback in order to get the ball rolling.
So please American citizens let us know!!! Thanks.
