Anxiety is the first illness, says reader
From Pogo 4
to everything that goes on about her and everything that
goes on within her.
She has to have learned not to care what anyone else
thinks - only what she thinks. This is difficult to do
because the media and the politics controlling the media,
has spread their word to every area of this country.
The individual becomes informed, can't hold a thought
and if the opportunity arises will get rid of the thought
especially if it causes him anxiety. The whole community
becomes responsible for passing on their anxiety to the
expectant mother.
Other creatures pass on only positive thoughts and
positive feelings or some other creature will handle their
anxiety.
A health care system requires big economics and a big
bureaucracy which needs illness and disease to perpetuate
the system. The anxieties produced by the system will be
passed on to the individual who in turn will pass on the
anxieties to future generations. There has to be an increase
in poverty, illness and disease - the system requires it.
The bureaucracy which has evolved to protect those with
a high anxiety intolerance, or a low anxiety tolerance,
actually slowly and methodically increases the anxiety of
each child born into the society.
I recorded years ago that anxiety is the first illness.
Anxiety requires increased amounts of distress hormones
so that the individual's immune mechanism breaks down
making him more susceptible to the environment's microbe
world.
The human is projecting his anxieties by destroying the
ecosystem thus causing anxiety in the wildlife population
which makes them susceptible to illness and disease which
is then given back to the human. There can be no anxiety
in the ecosystem. The anxiety has already been handled or
is being handled.
Man enters an ecosystem, sees only its economic value,
destroys it to his advantage, and then is left with nothing
but his own anxieties and he thinks that a health care
system is going to cure his anxieties. History has proven
that the earth will not tolerate anxiety.
More drugs may allow the individual to survive, but
unless the individual is capable of changing his mind, at
which time he will not require the drugs, he will excrete
the by-products of the drugs into the water and land and
make everyone else ill; make ill every creature that needs
that land and water to enjoy life.
Man has never conquered anything. The only thing he
can conquer or control is his own fear.

Shingles caused reader's glaucoma
To the Editor,
The Seaforth Branch' of
the Huron County Library
has a copy. of "Living With
Shingles" new hope for an
old disease, published in
1998 and recommended by
Albert Kafkonits, M.D.,
Mount Sinai School of
Medicine, N.Y.
The doctor writes that
until recently physicians had
little to offer patients
suffering from a reactivation
of the chicken -pox virus, a
condition called Shingles.
Patients include those
treated with radiation or
chemotherapy for cancer,
transplanted organ
recipients, people who are
HIV positive and anyone
else whose immune system
has been weakened by
disease or even excessive
stress. The condition should
be diagnosed early. Potential
complications of shingles
include inflammation of the
eyes which could lead to
loss of vision, possibly
glaucoma.
I believe that shingles may
have caused my glaucoma.

Huron East Chief
Building Official Paul

figures to council during
its Dec. 10 meeting.
"The $90,000 is the
value of the building or

of income when we issue
the permits," he explained

All Welcome)
in a recent telephone
interview.
Josling said that
although he doesn't have
any exact figures yet, the
income generated by the
permits "hasn't dropped a
whole lot."
As of the end of
November, 171 building
permits were issued, with a
total value of $12,982,200.
Josling said on Friday that
he has issued three or four
more since his appearance
at council, but hasn't
calculated their value yet.
Josling added that it was
too early to consider trends
in building permit sales.
"You can't really
compare yearly totals yet.
Sure 2001 was a little
higher and 2002 is about
average, but you have to
consider that
amalgamation was in 2001
and we only have two
years to compare."
