  1. BULAWAYO, Nov 22 (IPS) - In the blistering summer heat, slow-gathering
    clouds that promise rain are welcomed by farmers in Zimbabwe and other
    water-scarce countries in Southern Africa. Yet the rains - when they
    come - also worsen the incidence of malaria.

    The interesting thing about malaria that is NOT generally well known
    by the public is that malaria used to be a major cause of death in the
    United States. During the civil war peroid many more soldiers died
    from malaria than from battle.

    I came across this information while researching my history tutorial
    series of articles.

    Clearly, there is no vaccination for malaria. Clearly, medicine had
    absolutely nothing to do with getting rid of malaria in the United
    States. Medicine has a number of very toxic drugs for preventing
    malaria, which the population in the United States clearly do not
    take. Yet, there is no malaria problem in the United States.

    Ha, ... Hah, Ha! Malaria more than any disease in the United States
    clearly documents that medicine had absolutely nothing to do with the
    sudden improvement in health experienced by the United States at the
    turn of the 20th century.

    Just thought that you might want to know. 🙂

    And your ignorant, non-scientific lot called it "malaria", meaning
    "bad air" which you thought caused the illness. Not improved much,
    have you.

    And the point is? "Public health practices broke the cycle of Malaria in
    the us, one arm of the general set "medicine". Malaria: was one of about
    half dozen diseases common in the civil war, not the only or most
    responsible for non-combat related deaths, and all were related to public
    health problems,ie "medicine" which learned much from and applied info
    learned in the war to general medical practices. Naturally, word play is
    among the poorest kinds of support for a notion.

    Miasmas if it is all the same to you, Dumb 'the Dumb Dawe.' 🙂

    I shall be sure to write the History of Malaria in the Unites States.
    It will make the perfect addition to my web site. 🙂

    general set "medicine"

    Ha, ... Hah, Ha! Tell me another tall tale.

    Public health practices

    Ha, ... Hah, Ha! Tell me another tall tale.

    Gee! Don't misquotes have something to do with it?

    Yes indeed, I need to write a good elucidation on malaria. 🙂

    Don't bother if the above is your level of understanding about medicine in
    the US. Just what are you offereing as the reason malaria is not the
    problem it once was, homopathetic practices? Was the soldiers blood
    diluted to make their immune system more powerful? Naturally it must have
    been that way.

    Obviously, it had nothing to do medicine, nor was it related to
    garbage and horse manure lying in the streets. It had to do with the
    control of misquotes.

    It probably would come under 'nuisance abatements,' like the draining
    of swamps.

    Malaria is certainly the perfect example of an infectious disease
    disappearing around the turn of the 20th century without any help
    whatsoever from medicine or from scientific research being published
    in peer-reviewed [censored] journals.

    History is history, Dim-wit.

    http://www.jhsph.edu/Malaria/Malaria_Background.html
    "The Public Health Service began an anti-malaria campaign in 1942, and
    by 1953, Plasmodium was considered to be tamed in the United States.
    Some authorities today, however, believe this public health campaign
    had less to do with malaria's retreat than did the country's
    increasing prosperity, which pushed millions of Americans out of the
    swampy hinterlands and into cities."

    'nuisance abatements'
    Malaria was brought under control by spraying with insecticides such
    as DDT, coating marshes with paraffin (to block development of
    mosquito larvae), draining stagnant water, and sleeping under bed
    nets.

    There was no use of a malaria vaccine. While medicine can brag about
    their toxic drugs preventing malaria the facts are that malaria is
    still running out of control in many areas of the world which have
    failed to control their mosquitoes and drain their swamps. 🙂
