Cats are the most popular pets in the United States. According to the latest version of the U.S. Pet Ownership & Demographics Sourcebook (2002 Edition) there were almost 70 Million pet cats in the United States. Why are cats so popular? There are as many answers to this question as there are felid owners, but the low upbeat risks cats pose to their owners is certainly near the top of this list. Even though the potential upbeat risks cats pose to people are small, it is important that felid owners are aware of these risks and understand how to reduce them. The majority of all risks stemming from felid ownership are related with the felid matter box and/or felid feces. There are two categories of risks. The first category contains upbeat risks posed by bacteria and parasites to both felid owners and their cats. The second category contains injuries resulting from an automatic matter box or self cleaning matter box.

Primarily the upbeat problems old by felid owners or their cats come from the first category and the most significant of these risks is titled Toxoplasmosis. Toxoplasmosis is an infection caused by a tiny follower titled Toxoplasma gondii which can be found in raw or undercooked meat, unwashed fruits and vegetables, dirty felid matter boxes and outdoor soil where felid feces can be found. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) more than 60 million people in the United States may be infected with the Toxoplasma parasite(1). Fortunately, very few people ever experience some symptoms because a healthy person’s immune system usually keeps the follower from causing illness. However, pregnant women and individuals who have compromised immune systems, such as individuals infected with the HIV virus, are at venture and should take precautions to avoid being infected by the parasite. For people in this group a Toxoplasma infection could cause serious upbeat problems to the individual or to a pregnant woman’s unborn child.

Does your horse get nervous before a competition, trailering, or learning something new? I have a couple of horses who are strung kind of tight, and I’ve found that there are a number of natural horse feed supplements that really help calm them down.

Not all of these are legal for all competitive events, so if you do consider using any of these, be sure to check with your discipline’s governing body to see what’s legal and what isn’t.

Horse Feed Supplement 1):- Homeopathic Chamomile

Homeopathic chamomile is a wonderfully simple solution for many nervous horses. This vibrational remedy will not make a horse calmer than his normal temperament, but can restore a horse’s mental balance so that he can think clearly. For instance, if your horse is normally calm but gets bouts of diarrhea before trailering, giving him a dose of Chamomile 30x before he try loading him might help him stay calm. You can purchase this homeopathic remedy at most health food stores.

In mid June the WHO (World Health Organization) declared the Swine Flu a level 6 pandemic, and they are predicting that it will resurface this fall in a new and deadly form. Their solution is the mandatory distribution of a new, untested vaccine. The United States Emergency Medical Powers Acts and other Federal legislation provides for mandatory vaccination, with no exemptions.

By the time this new vaccine is administered, there will not have been sufficient time to properly test it. Because there is not adequate time to test this vaccine for safety, Congress and the FDA have exempted the vaccine manufacturers from liability for any complications, including death, caused by the vaccine. According to the President, “The most important thing…is to make sure that state and local officials prepare to implement a vaccination program in the fall…” In other words, full steam ahead with no regard for the health and safety of American citizens.

In 1976, President Ford ordered mandatory vaccination of the entire population of the United States because of a Swine Flu scare after the death of Pvt. David Lewis of Fort Dix was connected to the Swine Flu. During that outbreak, Pvt. Lewis was the only death attributed to the Swine Flu in the US. On the other hand hundreds were killed or seriously injured by the inoculation administered by the government. Despite the uncertainty of the dangers of this vaccine in particular, and the history of the ineffectiveness and dangers of vaccines in general, your government wants to force it upon you at the threat of incarceration in a prison or other facility created for “Vaccine Resisters”.

Upon refusing to accept the administration of the Swine Flu vaccine, you will be classified a felon and subject to incarceration. Government officials are beginning to equate “Vaccine Resisters” to “terrorism”, which is a probable attempt to make use of more harsh measures and FEMA camps against those wishing to maintain control of their own health care.

Before your government begins killing and injuring her citizens again, you need to take measures to protect yourself. You can call and write your Federal and State Representatives asking them to provide for sanction-free exemptions from the proposed forced vaccinations. These exemptions can be based on religious belief, or an individual’s willingness to protect himself in his own home, a measure called “self-shielding”.
