1 Media and Medicine The media tends to cause public hysteria by over amplifying certain diseases due to the fact that the “news” has become more of a business in which that looks for ratings instead of stating the full truth.

2 Flu Or Fluke? -Pandemic Swine Flu Strikes the United States in 2009. But What Did You Hear? -In 2009 the media blasts the swine flu “pandemic” into something more than it really was. -Swine flu as seen above ruined American Medicine’s image, but it isn’t the doctors to blame but the media.

3 “The media's the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that's power. Because they control the minds of the masses.” –Malcolm X https://www.youtube.com/watc h?v=BIqL99_NBlU -The link above will bring you To a group of familiar TV doctor’s assuring you that this “pandemic” is being over covered and stressing the masses. -The CDC accounted for about 275,000 cases of swine flu in the United States. About 12,000 died which is less than 1/8 of the infected. http://articles.latimes.com/200 9/sep/14/health/he-capsule14 -An article just to show you how easy it is to avoid and stop H1N1 due to modern medicine. The over-coverage of this topic made a pandemic that really was not a pandemic.

4 Interview with a Swine Flu “Survivor” - I interviewed Mitchell Cottrell, who contracted the Swine Flu in 2009. Me- “How did you feel when having the swine flu virus?” Mitchell- “It was kind of hard to tell. I really thought I had just gotten really bad allergies. So I was sneezing, coughing, slight fever, and just felt a little tired.” Me- “How long did the virus stay in you?” Mitchell- “It was literally three days. My class all got the virus. I went to the doctor and was back to school in three days, healthy.” The Big Bad Swine Flu? Three Days… Really?

5 The Swine Fluke The last swine flu outbreak was in 1918. The H1N1 influenza is one of the flus in our flu vaccine every year. The outbreak in 2009 contributed to the fact people were too lazy to get the flu shot and the strand of flu that got around was stronger then expected. offender. http://articles.latimes.com/2009/oct/ 20/opinion/ed-vaccine20 “Swine flu is no more lethal, generally speaking, than the average seasonal flu.” So, why are the newspaper’s and News channels going crazy over it??? It is 24/7 coverage. Also swine flu does not kill you. If the case is strong enough it would lead to a respiratory disease that could kill. The H1N1 flu mist was available to everyone.

7 The Liftware system is designed for people whose hand tremor interferes with activities of daily living (ADLs). Typically, these hand tremors are caused by a medical condition such as Essential Tremor or Parkinson’s Disease. Sensors in the Liftware handle detect a person’s tremor, and the device responds using motors to move the spoon opposite the tremor. The spoon can discern motion from hand tremor from other types of motion, allowing it to respond to just the tremor while preserving the user’s intended motion. In contrast to braces, which force a user’s hand to be still and can cause patient discomfort, Liftware allows the patient’s hand to shake while stabilizing food in the spoon.

8 For the study, eleven subjects with essential tremor (ET) performed three tasks (holding, eating, and transferring objects) using a spoon device with its Active Cancellation of Tremor (ACT) technology turned on and off. With the ACT turned on, tremor amplitude was reduced by an average of 72% in the holding task, 76% in the eating task, and 71% in the transferring task. These significant results mean that the device is likely to improve quality of life for those who use it.

9 Liftware is intended for people with mild to moderate upper limb tremor that causes them regularly to spill food while eating. Liftware can help people who frequently spill peas and similar foods, or people who may bring head at least halfway to meet food. Liftware is most beneficial for people with hand tremor between 4 and 12 Hz. Liftware can help people with postural, intentional tremor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WF5BDyNgl wI

10 Ebola is a disease of humans and other primates caused by ebola virus. Signs and symptoms typically start between two days and three weeks after contracting the virus as a fever, sore throat, muscle pain, and headaches. Then, vomiting, diarrhea and rash usually follow, along with decreased function of the liver and kidneys. At this time some people begin to bleed both internally and externally.

11 When and Where In 1976, Ebola (named after the Ebola River in Zaire) first emerged in Sudan and Zaire. The first outbreak of Ebola infected over 284 people. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebola_virus_e pidemic_in_West_Africa

12 Media With Ebola Since this started in 1976, when was the first time you guys heard of this disease?
