SCIENCE CREATES NEW MISSION OF HEALTH FROM THE BOARDROOM TO BEDROOM!Written by John Allie of MakingLifeChoices.net
The doctor starts his discussion, but only words you heard were last ones. The so dreaded words about amount of time you have left. “Wait!” your mind screams, “I’m not that old.” At that moment, you think of your family. How would they be able to cope without you? You think back on your life, and remember all unfinished projects! You realize time wasted on tasks, now perceived as trivial. You leave office in a mental fog, but a few moments later, fog turns to anger. You’re now on a mission; a mission to save your life!Guess what? You’re not alone. Tens of thousands of intelligent people are on same mission to save their life by making life choices. They are tired of being told to adjust to living in fear of their health. They had their fill of prescription drugs that only hide symptoms, and offer horrendous side effects. Others are ignored, and told their problems are due to millennium catch-all term; stress! Get rid of stress and health problems disappear? Wouldn’t it be great to leave our jobs and just sit on beach all day? That’s not a choice for people today. I’ve seen empty bank accounts create more stress than a job. Smart people demand alternative and natural options. Yes, people are improving their health from boardroom to bedroom! One by one, they discovered a fantastic life changing product. Each one stepped outside doctor’s office on a mission of better health and found Mannatech. Mannatech started with a new scientific approach to human health. The company produces a unique product based on 4 key sciences regarding body. These include immune system, endocrine system, protector nutrients such as antioxidants, and balance of vitamin and mineral nutrition that embraces entire body’s health. Mannatech’s formulas provide a cell to cell communication, so body can continue with natural healing processes.
| | The Pathophysiology of TetanusWritten by Wong Lai Teng
Tetanus is an acute, often fatal disease caused by an exotoxin produced in a wound by Clostridium tetani. Clostridium tetani is a gram-positive, nonencapsulated, motile, obligatively anaerobic bacillus. It exists in vegetative and sporulated forms. Spores are highly resistant to disinfections by chemical or heat, but vegetative forms are susceptible to bactericidal effect of heat, chemical disinfectants, and a number of antibiotics.Clostridium tetani is a noninvasive organism. It is found in soil and in intestine and feces of horses, sheep, cattle, dogs, cats, rats, guinea pigs and chicken. Manure-treated soil may contain large numbers of spores too. Tetanus occurs after spores or vegetative bacteria gain access to tissues and produce toxin locally. The usual mode of entry is trough a puncture wound or laceration. Tetanus may also follow elective surgery, burn wounds, otitis media, dental infection, abortion and pregnancy. Neonatal tetanus usually follows infection of umbilical stump. In presence of anaerobic conditions, spores germinate. Toxins,including tetanolysin (which potentiates infection) and tetanospasmin (a potent neurotoxin) are produced. Tetanospasmin, often referred to as tetanus toxin, causes clinical tetanus. The toxin produced is disseminated through bloodstream and lymphatic system. However, it does not enter central nervous system through this route, as it cannot cross blood brain barrier except at fourth ventricle. The toxin is exclusively taken up by neuromuscular junction, where it migrates retrograde transynaptically at rate 75-250mm/day, a process which takes 3-14 days, protected from neutralizing antitoxin, predominantly to inhibitory synapses to prevent release of acetylcholine.
