THE REPORT FROM PENNSYLVANIA STATE UNIVERSITY IN HARRISBURG SAID INTERVIEWS WITH RESIDENTS WHO CONSUMED THE WATER FOUND A STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT CORRELATION BETWEEN PRESENCE OF THE BACTERIA AND CASES OF STOMACH ULCERS. KATHERINE BAKER WHO LED THE RESEARCH SAID DRINKING WATER IS GENERALLY CONSIDERED SAFE WHEN COLIFORM BACTERIA IS NOT PRESENT. BUT THE ULCER-CAUSING BACTERIA WAS FOUND IN COLIFORM-FREE WATER SAMPLES, SHE SAID. "WHAT THIS REALLY MEANS IS THAT OUR CURRENT METHODS FOR TESTING DRINKING WATER MAY BE SAYING THAT WATER IS FINE WHILE H. PYLORI MAY ACTUALLY BE PRESENT," SHE SAID. BAKER SAID THE STUDY INVOLVED PRIVATE, UNTREATED WATER SUPPLIES ( APPROX. 25% OF US WATER SUPPLIES ARE CONSIDERED RURAL) AND NOT MUNICIPAL WATER SOURCES, WHICH ARE LESS LIKELY TO CONTAIN THE ORGANISM. .......SOURCE: REUTERS CRYPTOSPORIDIUM : SPECIFIC NOTED CASES OF OUTBREAKS IN THE US INCLUDE: EXAMPLES: IN 1993 THE
WORST OUTBREAK OF A WATER BORN DISEASE IN MODERN US HISTORY OCCURRED IN MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN. SEVERE BOUTS OF WATERY DIARRHEA STRUCK AN ESTIMATED 403,000 PEOPLE. AUGUST 1998 AN ESTIMATED 1,300 PEOPLE IN A SUBURBAN AREA NORTH OF AUSTIN MAY HAVE BEEN INFECTED WITH A POTENTIALLY FATAL PARASITE THAT COULD HAVE BEEN DISTRIBUTED THROUGH THE PUBLIC DRINKING WATER SYSTEM FOR AS LONG AS A WEEK, HEALTH OFFICIALS SAY. THE PARASITE COMES FROM THE FECES OF WILD AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS AND IS FOUND IN UP TO 87 PERCENT OF UNTREATED WATER SUPPLIES. RAIN RUNOFF CARRIES THE PARASITE TO SURFACE WATER SUPPLIES. OFFICIAL ESTIMATE THAT CRYPTO IS IN ABOUT ONE THIRD OF THE COUNTRY'S FINISHED DRINKING WATER SUPPLIES. THE PARASITE CAUSES SEVERE DIARRHEA AND NAUSEA. HEALTHY INDIVIDUALS RECOVER IN ABOUT 10 DAYS, BUT THE VIRUS CAN BE DEADLY FOR CHILDREN, THE ELDERLY OR ANYONE WITH A WEAK IMMUNE SYSTEM, SUCH AS THOSE AFFECTED BY AIDS. BESIDES CYPTO, OTHER PARASITES OF CONCERN INCLUDE: BACTERIA: TYPHOID FEVER: DIARRHEA. SEVERE VOMITING ENLARGED SPLEEN,INFLAMED; OFTEN FATAL IF UNTREATED CHOLERA: DIARRHEA, SEVERE VOMITING DEHYDRATION OFTEN FATAL IF UNTREATED BACTERIAL DYSENTERY: DIARRHEA; RARELY FATAL EXCEPT IN INFANTS WITHOUT PROPER TREATMENT ENTERITIS: SEVERE STOMACH PAIN, NAUSEA, VOMITING; RARELY FATAL BACTERIAL DISEASES OTHER MAJOR BACTERIAL DISEASES FREQUENTLY LINKED TO CONSUMPTION OF DRINKING WATER ARE CAUSED BY SHIGELLA SPP., SALMONELLA SPP., PATHOGENIC E. COLI, AND CAMPYLOBACTER SPP. ALL HAVE MULTIPLE ROUTES OF INFECTION AND MAY BE TRANSMITTED THROUGH WATER, FOOD, SOIL, OR PERSON-TO-PERSON CONTACT. HOWEVER, IN EACH CASE, MAJOR OUTBREAKS OF THESE DISEASES HAVE BEEN LINKED TO CONSUMPTION OF CONTAMINATED WATER. MORRIS AND LEVIN (2) HAVE ESTIMATED THAT WITHIN THE UNITED STATES,CONTAMINATED WATER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR 35,000 CASES OF SHIGELLOSIS, 59,000 CASES OF SALMONELLOSIS, 150,000 CASES OF INFECTION WITH PATHOGENIC E. COLI, AND 320,000 CASES OF CAMPYLOBACTERIOSIS. VIRUSES: INFECTIOUS HEPATITIS:FEVER, SEVERE HEADACHE LOSS OF APPETITE ABDOMINAL PAIN, JAUNDICE ENLARGED LIVER RARELY FATAL BUT MAY CAUSE PERMANENT LIVER DAMAGE POLIO: HIGH FEVER SEVERE HEADACHE SORE THROAT, STIFF NECK, DEEP MUSCLE PAIN, SEVERE WEAKNESS, TREMORS, PARALYSIS IN LEGS, ARMS, AND BODY; CAN BE FATAL IN MANY WAYS, VIRUSES ARE THE MOST POORLY UNDERSTOOD AREA OF RESEARCH ON WATERBORNE DISEASE. A NUMBER OF AUTHORS HAVE SUGGESTED THAT NORWALK VIRUS AND NORWALK-LIKE VIRUSES ARE THE MAJOR CAUSES OF BOTH FOOD- AND WATERBORNE ILLNESSES WORLDWIDE (143). THERE IS ALSO STRONG EPIDEMIOLOGIC EVIDENCE THAT HEPATITIS A (HAV) AND ROTAVIRUSES ARE FREQUENT CAUSES OF WATERBORNE DISEASE (147). HAV IS REPORTED TO BE THE FIRST VIRUS DEFINITIVELY SHOWN TO BE TRANSMITTED BY WATER, AND NUMEROUS OUTBREAKS HAVE BEEN DOCUMENTED .HAV IS ONE OF THE MOST PREVALENT WATERBORNE VIRAL PATHOGENS. ROTAVIRUSES ARE ALSO FREQUENTLY REPORTED IN OUTBREAKS AND, TOGETHER WITH ENTEROVIRUSES, HAVE BEEN ISOLATED FROM CHLORINATED DRINKING WATER SYSTEMS (149,150). THESE VIRUSES ARE A PRIMARY CAUSE OF TRAVELER'S DIARRHEA. THEY ARE ALSO A MAJOR CAUSE OF INFANTILE GASTROENTERITIS AND HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR 50% OF HOSPITALIZED CASES OF DIARRHEAL ILLNESS IN TEMPERATE CLIMATES (148,151). BENNETT ET AL.'S ANALYSIS (84) SUGGESTED THAT 300,000 CASES OF WATERBORNE INFECTION WERE CAUSED ANNUALLY BY NORWALK VIRUS IN THE UNITED STATES. ROSE AND GERBA'S 1986 REVIEW OF VIRUSES IN TREATED DRINKING WATER (148) LISTED MORE THAN 110 TYPES OF ENTERIC VIRUSES CAPABLE OF ENVIRONMENTAL TRANSMISSION. MORRIS AND LEVIN (2) PROVIDE A POINT ESTIMATE OF 6.5 MILLION ANNUAL CASES OF WATERBORNE VIRAL DISEASE IN THE UNITED STATES, WITH AN ESTIMATED MORTALITY OF 0.005%. AS PREVIOUSLY DISCUSSED, MANY ASSUMPTIONS NECESSARILY MADE IN THESE ESTIMATES MAY DRAMATICALLY UNDERESTIMATE OR OVERESTIMATE BURDEN OF DISEASE. PARASITIC PROTOZOA: AMOEBIC DYSENTERY: SEVERE DIARRHEA, HEADACHE, ABDOMINAL PAIN, CHILLS FEVER; IF NOT TREATED CAN CAUSE LIVER ABSCESS, BOWEL PERFORATION AND DEATH GIARDIA ( NOW FAIRLY COMMON IN US) DIARRHEA, ABDOMINAL CRAMPS FLATULENCE BELCHING, FATIGUE. INCREASING NUMBER OF PETS ARE PICKING UP THIS PARASITE AS WELL AS HUMANS.. . CRYPTOSPORIDIUM PARVUM OOCYSTS AND GIARDIA LAMBLIA (INTESTINALIS) CYSTS IMAGED TOGETHER FOR PURPOSES OF COMPARISON. IN THE PHOTOMICROGRAPH, THE C. PARVUM OOCYSTS ARE DISTINGUISHED FROM NEIGHBORING G. LAMBLIA CYSTS BY THEIR SMALLER SIZE. BAR = 10 MICRONS. PROTOZOAN DISEASES G. LAMBLIA AND C. PARVUM SMITH AND LLOYD (111) HAVE RECENTLY REPORTED THAT THESE TWO PROTOZOA ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MORE THAN 600 MILLION INFECTIONS WORLDWIDE, OF WHICH A SIGNIFICANT PROPORTION ARE WATERBORNE. FOR EXAMPLE, 60% OF GIARDIA CASES ARE ESTIMATED TO BE WATERBORNE IN THE UNITED STATES (84), WITH A POINT ESTIMATE OF THE ANNUAL INCIDENCE OF GIARDIASIS OF 260,000 CASES (2). UNTIL RECENTLY, GIARDIASIS WAS THE MOST FREQUENTLY REPORTED WATERBORNE DISEASE (112,113). CRYPTOSPORIDIOSIS HAS NOW OVERTAKEN GIARDIASIS, WITH A POINT ESTIMATE OF 420,000 ANNUAL WATERBORNE CASES IN THE UNITED STATES (2). OVER THE PAST 10 YEARS, THERE HAS BEEN CONSIDERABLE EMPHASIS ON C. PARVUM RESEARCH. THIS IS PARTLY BECAUSE OF THE SCALE OF WATERBORNE OUTBREAKS SEEN IN 1989 (116) (ESTIMATED 13,000 CASES) AND AGAIN IN 1993 (117) (ESTIMATED >400,000 CASES) BUT ALSO BECAUSE THE OUTBREAKS WERE ASSOCIATED WITH FILTERED WATER SUPPLIES APPARENTLY MEETING ALL APPROPRIATE STANDARDS FOR THAT TIME. CRYPTOSPORIDIOSIS OUTBREAKS ARE REPORTED WITH INCREASING FREQUENCY NOT ONLY IN THE UNITED STATES (116-118) BUT ALSO GLOBALLY IN BOTH DEVELOPED (119,120) AND DEVELOPING COUNTRIES (121,122). IT IS PROBABLE THAT REPORTING OF CRYPTOSPORIDIOSIS INFECTIONS WILL INCREASE DRAMATICALLY AS AWARENESS OF THIS DISEASE INCREASES. SEROPREVALENCE STUDIES INDICATE THAT EXPOSURE TO C. PARVUM IS WIDESPREAD AND THAT ASYMPTOMATIC INFECTION OCCURS FREQUENTLY. IN A STUDY OF 803 CHILDREN IN OKLAHOMA, 13% OF CHILDREN UNDER 5 YEARS OF AGE, 38% OF CHILDREN 5 TO 13 YEARS OF AGE, AND 58% OF ADOLESCENTS 14 TO 21 YEARS OF AGE WERE SEROPOSITIVE (123). CONSIDERABLE RESEARCH HAS BEEN DIRECTED TOWARD UNDERSTANDING THE ETIOLOGY OF CRYPTOSPORIDIOSIS, IN PARTICULAR, ITS TRANSMISSION FROM ANIMAL HOST THROUGH THE WATER SUPPLY TO THE HUMAN HOST. AS WITH GIARDIA AND MANY OF THE OTHER PATHOGENS DESCRIBED IN THIS REVIEW, C. PARVUM HAS A BROAD HOST RANGE, MAKING ELIMINATION OF THIS PATHOGEN FROM THE WATERSHED VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE. BOTH GIARDIA CYSTS AND INFECTIOUS C. PARVUM OOCYSTS RECENTLY HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO BE DISSEMINATED BY WATERFOWL (125). PARASITIC WORMS: SCHISTOSOMIASIS: ABDOMINAL PAIN, SKIN RASH, ANEMIA, CHRONIC FATIGUE, AND CHRONIC GENERAL ILL HEALTH . ALGAL BLOOMS: "RECENTLY, CONSIDERABLE INTEREST HAS BEEN FOCUSED ON THE PLANT PLANKTON GENUS CALLED PSEUDONITZCHIA, DIATOMS IN WHICH SOME SPECIES PRODUCE DOMOIC ACID, A POTENT NEUROTOXIN WHICH CAUSES SHORT-TERM MEMORY LOSS AND DEATH. TOXIC VARIETIES OF THIS PSEUDONITZCHIA WERE FIRST DISCOVERED IN 1987 WHEN PEOPLE WHO HAD EATEN MUSSELS ON PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND IN CANADA BEGAN EXPERIENCING SHORT-TERM MEMORY LOSS. SINCE THAT TIME ANOTHER TOXIC SPECIES OF THIS GENUS, P. AUSTRALIS, WAS FOUND TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEATH OF PELICANS OFF THE CALIFORNIA COAST. PSUEDONITZSCHIA HAS ALSO BEEN FOUND IN NEW ENGLAND WATERS WHERE HEALTH OFFICIALS NOW MONITOR THE MUSSELS FOR THE PRESENCE OF THE TOXIN, DOMOIC ACID."

Why do seeds need saving?-*
-In the last century or so, the world has lost 75% of its edible plant varieties. That might be hard to perceive when many of us have enough food on our plates, but consider this: According to the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization, only five cereal grains make up 60% of our calories. A system that depends so heavily on so few crops is quite fragile. Think of the Irish Potato Famine – the use of only one variety of potato led to a catastrophe. In 1845, the introduction of a new fungus wiped out the primary source of food in Ireland, leading to the death or emigration of some one and a half million people.

- Human Health Impacts Thirteen people who worked with dilute toxic cultures of Pfiesteria sustained mild to serious adverse health impacts through water contact or by inhaling toxic aerosols from the cultures. The effects include a suite of symptoms such as narcosis (a "drugged"effect), development of sores (in areas that directly contact water containing toxic cultures of P. Piscicida, and also on the chest and face), uniform reddening of the eyes, severe headaches, blurred vision, nausea/vomiting, sustained difficulty breathing (asthma-like effects), kidney and liver dysfunction, acute short-term memory loss, and severe cognitive impairment (= serious difficulty in being able to read, remember one's name, dial a telephone number, or do simple arithmetic beyond 1 + 2 = 3).Most of the acute symptoms proved reversible over time, provided that the affected people were not allowed near the toxic cultures again. Some of these effects have recurred (relapsed) in people following strenuous exercise, thus far up to six years after exposure to these toxic fish-killing cultures. Solutions? In LDC countries, simple techniques such as drinking water which has been stored in plastic bottles, whose bottoms were painted black, and exposed to intense sunlight for at least five minutes is enough to kill most of the parasites in the water.
Cultural practices, which encourage people to share their water supplies with domestic animals or to use the same water supplies for drinking and waste increases diseases transmission. Here better education can have a major impact. Funding or help for towns to build wells for drinking water may be more important than expensive water treatment plants. Estimated costs of $500-1000 per village well is enough to significantly reduce infant/child mortality. In MDC ( more developed countries) upgrading their old, antique water purifications centers, better training of personnel in this centers, and decreasing nutrients which come from fertilization of fields, domestic animal production centers ( especially chicken, hog) would all help reduce disease transmission.

Thanks to Dr.Duke Plant PHYOCHEMIST. Module 15: LAST AND LEAST ... DANGEROUS HERBS The deadly dozen dubiously-salubrious ess.com/
Denizens of the DA (Drug Administration) Jim Duke When the FDA outlawed supplements of tryptophan (essential to life), which probably occurs in all living and recently dead animals and plants, I interpreted that as suggesting that tryptophan must be a pretty promising nutritional supplement. Though environmental, health, and safety debates always have two sides, I am convinced that tryptophan was not the culprit, rather a technologically introduced contaminant, which killed more than 30 people. Tryptophan, though still on the FDA hit list and still illegal as a supplement, occurs in every plant and animal you consume. (Seed of evening primrose, busted at least 4 times by the FDA, is the best source of tryptophan in my database.) There's one strange conflicting connection; some US scientists, who will make more money if tryptophan and melatonin are moved from OTC to prescription-only availability, may have influenced the FDA campaigns against melatonin and/or evening primrose. One super scientist with financial ties to these chemicals or pharmaceuticals that share the same activities, has shown that dietary tryptophan contributes to cerebral serotonin, in that sense satisfying some of the same circuitry satisfied by Prozac. So Prozac is still legal, selling more than a billion dollars a year, while supplementary tryptophan is illegal, and evening primrose, the best natural source of tryptophan has been busted. I have told herbal friends not to despair, that FDA disapproval of an herb or supplement often stimulates sales, so popular and credible is the belief that the FDA is in the pockets of the pharmaceutical propagandists. I suspect that many real scientists in the FDA, if they weighed the evidence, would rather their daughters took angelica than calcium blockers, celeryseed than allopurinol, evening primrose than Prozac, feverfew than sumatriptan, ma huang than amphetamine, rosemary than cognex, St. John's-wort than Prozac, soybean or other tastier estrogenic legumes than tamoxiphen.
Yes, the FDA has banned tryptophan, biotechnologically contaminated versions of which killed more than 30 people and caused perhaps hundreds of cases of EMS. But OTC and prescription pharmaceuticals, approved by the FDA, take thousands of lives each year. Now for an honest confession from an herbalist! Herbally-derived drugs of abuse probably kill more than a million Americans each year. And starting in 1995/6, Dr. Kessler, FDA Commissioner, finally took on the real herbal enemy, an Amerindian herb known as tobacco, Nicotiana. Though Amerindians historically used the herb ceremonially without becoming addicted, more than a quarter of Americas have smoked, and most of them became physiologically addicted, including yours truly. For more than two decades I smoked three packs a day, king-sized, unfiltered. Now I've switched from cancer sticks to carrot sticks, hoping that the mix of carotenoids, unlike isolated beta-carotene, will prevent the lung cancer I invited with all that smoke pouring through my lungs. This is the worst of the killer herbs, killing perhaps half a million Americans and more and more unAmericans every year. The next worse killer herbs are those used to make the often-abused alcohol. (Any sugar producing herb can be used to manufacture alcohol; among the most frequent, sugarcane, corn, potato, grapes, barley, hops, etc.) Though the poison ethanol kills many Americans, we don't ban the corn, our number two crop, nor the grapes, or potatoes. I frankly don't know which is the next worse killer, cocaine (From Erythroxylum spp.), heroin (from opium from Papaver somniferum, one of our Biblical herbs), or marihuana (Cannabis sativa) or its derivatives, hashish, or medicinal THC or marinol. I was once accurately quoted as saying I'd rather my kids smoked an occasional joint than chronically smoked tobacco. But I think that habitual smoking of equal amounts of marijuana as a substitute for smoking tobacco would be as bad as or worse than smoking tobacco. Coca, marijuana and opium poppy are banned for planting in the US. But all of these killers have legitimate uses. The FDA approves some medicinal uses of alcohol, codeine, cocaine, marinol, and morphine, e.g., and poppy's paverine is injected into more than one penis in the US, additional to its use in other areas. A few deaths attributed to jimsonweed and its generic relatives (Datura spp.) and ma huang (Ephedra), but solely or almost exclusively when used recreationally.
If more people are going to "quacks" (alternative practitioners), even when they have to pay out of pocket, than are going to allopathic physicians, more often covered by HMOs or insurance, as seems to be the case starting this decade, why is it that there are several orders of magnitude more fatalities associated with allopaths than with quacks?
Table of Fatalities
(Rounded no. of fatalities/no. people involved with procedure or medicine or herb)

Calculation of fatality ratios by me(=-JAD):
27 died to tryptophan (assume 27,000,000 nutrient poppers=1 in a million).
Ca 2 herbal fatalities a year; assume conservatively only 2 million Americans(<1%; real figure could be closer to 25,000,000 {10% of Americans}) are taking herbs = 1 in a million
Mushroom Poisonings: Assumes twice as many among mushroom users as among herbal grazers, and assuming there are 5 times more of the latter. (JAD)
WTOP announced that there were more than 23,000 murders in 1992, which I rounded up to 25,000 over the population of 250,000,000
Center for Science in the Public Interest announced that 10,000 people died of food poisoning last year, 10,000/250,000,000 =1 in 25,000
Assumes car fatalities will run 50,000 (The rate has gone down of late) 50,000/250,000,000 = 5/25,000 = 1/5,000
Cigarettes 100,000 out of 50,000,000 smokers = 1 in 500
Alcohol* 100,000 out of 50,000,000 drinkers (25,000,000 problem drinkers) = 1 in 500
Angiograms 1,000-5,000/yr of 1,000,000 = 1 in 200 to 1 in 1,000
NSAIDS 10,000-20,000/yr assume 40% take =1 in 10,000 to 1 in 5,000
Bypass Operations 14,000-28,000 1 in 10 to 1 in 20
AARP newsletter 1992 1 in 250 to medical mistakes
JAMA 1987 1 in 1,000 entering hospital will die of medication.
100,000 patients lost to hospital acquired infections. CMR May 13, 1985 Or 100,000 out of 8,000,000 = 1 in 80
Medical mistakes ca 200,000 per year assuming. 200,000,000 hospitalizations/year = 1 in 1,000 (Harvard's L. L. Leape) (Good Housekeeping, Oct. 1992, p. 124)
Improper Taking of Medication 125,000 per yr/ assume 250,000,000 = 1 in 2,000 (Approximately 125,000 Americans die each year from failure to take their medicine properly... Ca 30-50% of the 1.8 billion prescriptions dispensed annually are taken incorrectly by the patient.)
My first medicinal plant book that is still in print, the "CRC Handbook of Medicinal Herbs", was submitted to the publisher under the title of "Herbs of Dubious Salubrity". Why that title? Because the FDA had called me on most of those herbs, looking for bad things about them, a few days or weeks before the Herb Industry, looking for good things about them. In this syllabus, I may have erred on the good side of things, but I think I am being even handed. I do not, as a relatively respectable writer, want to be seen as advocating any dangerous herbs. And there are some dangerous herbs. Some of the most dangerous poisons in the world are natural compounds found in Mother Nature's benevolent plant kingdom.
