This thing is just being taken way out of proportion, to its harm to the people of the United States. John McCain said recently that more people have been struck by lightning in the past 10 days than have died from anthrax. ![]() Thinking about it, there has really only been one death. I think there is some, but it has been mostly the skin form. ![]() It is the inhaled form that is the more deadly of the two, and that has not been found a lot. Really, if you are of pretty good health, you should be able to fight that off because anthrax does its worse work when there are a lot of spores there and your natural immune system cannot handle it all. And that is easily treatable with the Cipro and other drugs. Most of the exposures have been of the cutaneous form-which means that it is the stuff that gets on your skin. And just today I heard that someone in Pennsylvania had it, but that was because he lives right across the New Jersey border. But, as far as I understand, in the United States it is just Florida, New Jersey, New York, and Washington D.C. There have been either real exposures or fake/hoax exposures in many places. Many of them fled Washington, just about, for fear of their lives.Ĭooler heads have tried to stem the hysteria over anthrax. Denny Hastert and the other leaders there decided to shut it down, and they are gone. Well, it probably did shut down during the War of 1812, because the British were coming in but since that time (even during the Civil War and other things that have happened-such as World War I and World War II) it did not shut down. Who knows, it may be in your city? It has gotten so bad that even the House shut down for the first time in its history (I think I heard yesterday). It does just about the same thing to kill the anthrax.īut everybody seems to be waiting with bated breath for the next outbreak to occur and to be announced. We just heard from Martin that you can use oil of oregano. Cipro prescription sales are booming, with prices rising. I heard one of them had a headline, in a newspaper, “All spores all the time.” It reminded me of KNX out there in L.A.-”All news all the time.” You can also say it is quite “sporing” to listen to the radio these days. It is the same information over and over and over again. Talk show hosts, on TV and on radio, have been constant “anthrax” for the last couple of weeks or so. And they just recently found a couple postal workers in New Jersey being exposed to it as well. We heard about CBS-Dan Rather and some people that worked with him-being exposed to anthrax. It got to House Speaker Dennis Hastert's office. And then we heard ABC news, and then Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle's office. The news media has really pushed it and just about every day we have heard of new targets of the bio-terrorists, whoever they happen to be.įirst we heard about The Star down there in Florida. But it has been on the minds of just about everyone in the nation. ![]() This goes along too, hand in hand, with the news that we continue to get about terrorism-because the anthrax scares are thought to be terrorists or a copycat type of thing. ![]() Without question, the news of the past week and a half or so has been anthrax. Nonetheless, God’s promises stand, and He is very willing to fulfill them for us. We must transpose our "me first" attitude with a "you first" one. A way to see things "God’s way" involves replacing our carnal, egocentric viewpoint with outgoing concern. Description: (hide) God gives several conditions for receiving protection and healing, including God’s sovereignty, God’s purpose, and one’s level of growth.
