Nonsense:

#9) Plan to have no medical assistance from hospitals or doctors
During a pandemic outbreak, you can expect to have no medical help whatsoever from hospitals or doctors. Many doctors and hospital staff will rapidly become infected, and many will die. Others will be far too preoccupied with other patients to take on any more.

Expect all hospital beds to be quickly filled, after which patients will be directed to go home and deal with the infections themselves. (This has already happened in Liberia and Sierra Leone.)

Dialing 911 will be useless, and emergency transportation vehicles such as ambulances will of course be thoroughly contaminated with the Ebola virus.

This might be a good idea to bone up on your self-reliance skills as taught in an online summit beginning today.

#10) Understand that medications, junk food and toxic chemicals make you more vulnerable to infections
Here's something the mainstream media almost never talks about: medications deplete your body of immune-boosting nutrients, making you even more susceptible to viral infections.

I have written extensively about this exact point in an article entitled Over-medicated, immunosuppressed Americans likely to suffer high fatality rate if Ebola sweeps across USA -- published on September 22, 2014.

In that article, I explain how the mass medication of Americans has made the USA uniquely vulnerable to an Ebola wipeout. It is my opinion that those Americans who wish to survive Ebola need to work with qualified naturopathic physicians to get off their meds as quickly as possible and transition to a health-enhancing lifestyle that boosts immune function and bolsters your defenses against infections.




Sadly, I have acquaintances that believe this hogwash, including that the CDC created Ebola.

1. What a wackadoo website.

It's full of crap like that. I can't imagine how anyone takes naturalnews.com seriously about anything.

[hobbit709]

5. There's more than one here that does take them serious as a source.

[MineralMan]

8. Yes, I know.

It's an embarrassment for DU.

[Dorian Gray]

37. yep

I had two friends who posted links to a natural news article (on facebook) about colloidal silver curing ebola this week. I found myself enraged about it, but I let it go because I thought that the ridiculousness of the article was self explanatory. But maybe not.

And natural news just tries to heighten fear with their BS.

3. From Your Snip

"In that article, I explain how the mass medication of Americans has made the USA uniquely vulnerable to an Ebola wipeout. It is my opinion that those Americans who wish to survive Ebola need to work with qualified naturopathic physicians to get off their meds as quickly as possible and transition to a health-enhancing lifestyle that boosts immune function and bolsters your defenses against infections. "

Then how does the writer explain the fact the ebola is killing people in underdeveloped parts of the world that haven't experienced mass medication?

Oops. One little mistake. . .

[arcane1]

6. People in those parts aren't giving money to "qualified naturopathic physicians"

Whatever that is!

[ProfessorGAC]

9. Yet, They're Still Dying in Droves

BTW: Your "whatever that is" line was superb.

[MineralMan]

11. There's no such thing. "Qualified" is the keyword.

It's a contradiction in terms. A veritable oxymoron.

[pnwmom]

15. Not true. The NIH funds research at Bastyr University here in Washington

which educates qualified naturopathic physicians, who are also available on regular health insurance plans.

[pnwmom]

14. Putting aside the issue of Natural News, which is junk, a qualified naturopathic physician

is one who has a degree from an accredited institution, such as Bastyr University -- which conducts NIH funded research, among other research.

[Erose999]

17. One could argue that "naturpathic physicians" are part of the problem there. The ratio of doctors to

people is 1 : 100,000 so there are all sorts of faith healers, snake oil salesmen, shamans, and crystal gurus people use for ebola treatment.

29. N.D. == "Not a Doctor"

They ought to promote themselves as what they truly are... QUACKS!

[arcane1]

4. That site pops up in my Facebook feed from time to time by kook-loving friends.

[ChisolmTrailDem]

7. JHFC! I knew they were wackos, but f*ck! nt

[etherealtruth]

10. Yet there are those that question why "we" aggressively confront quackery

Quackery is dangerous

[misterhighwasted]

12. Yep I posted a few days ago..waiting for convenience stores

to have little cardboard displays of "Quick-Shot EBOLA Cure"

[Erose999]

18. It'll be in the blister packs right next to the "Via-GROW", the bath salts, and the Truckers Luv It™

...whatever the hell that is.

[misterhighwasted]

24. ewww..c. r. e. e. p. y.

Teabagger pharmacy.

13. In before DU's anti-science contingent arrives!

Kick!

23. Come on now! Magic beans!

Giant! Golden Goose! Vegetables the size of houses I tell ya!

30. Woody Allen's "Bananas"

I want the Orgasmatron!

(As does everybody.)

[SidDithers]

32. It's times like this that I miss SpiralHawk / Berlum / AceAcme / Crowquette / NeoNerd / Chiron...

and their "scientific materialism" schtick.

They were always good for a laugh. I wonder if they're back with a new account again yet.

16. the fearmongering crackpot that runs that quack website

is a paranoid conspiracy nutter who uses scare tactics to sell preposterous anti-medical products that cash in on the wretched ignorance of his targeted victims.

[kestrel91316]

27. Alex Jones is in the medical quackery biz now, too?

[procon]

28. It wouldn't surprize me, but the subject links to

Natural News which is from a different wacko, Mike Adams. Joking aside, he's even worse than Jones because he preys on the most vulnerable people who are sick and scared, peddling his nasty junk medicine for profit.

[NickB79]

19. NaturalNews anti-vaxxers: DU's answer to RW global warming deniers!

Gotta love it.

[Daemonaquila]

20. How shameless.

They will stop at nothing to help their allies make a buck.

[logosoco]

21. from the article "Expect all hospital beds to be quickly filled, after which patients

will be directed to go home and deal with the infections themselves. (This has already happened in Liberia and Sierra Leone.) "

Do these people think the hospitals are like the ones we have here? Sheesh.

[sakabatou]

22. IIRC, Natural News is usually filled with BS

[LiberalElite]

25. Yeah but they're having a SALE on the Pandemic Protection Kit:

Don't be the last on your block!

[kestrel91316]

26. Darwin awards for anybody that relies on that nonsense and then dies.

[SidDithers]

31. Bookmarking...

for the next time someone uses naturalnews as a serious source.

Thanks for posting.

33. this was on the banned sites list in the good old days.

quackery kills.

[Crunchy Frog]

34. Fortunately, the people who read it are extremely unlikely ever to be exposed to Ebola. n/t

[Union Scribe]

35. I can only hope that those who take NN seriously

can't access this terrible advice because they've already microwaved their iPhones.

36. Kevin Trudeau is probably...

...pissed that someone beat him to this scam.
