Press Statement

Hillary Rodham Clinton
Secretary of State

Washington, DC

July 27, 2011

---

On behalf of President Obama and the people of the United States, I congratulate the people of Peru as you celebrate the 190th anniversary of your independence this July 28.
This year's centennial of the rediscovery of Machu Picchu -- one of the world's treasures -- reminds us of Peru's rich history and heritage as the home of one of the most influential civilizations of the Western Hemisphere. Earlier this year we witnessed Peru’s commitment to democratic ideals as a new president was elected after free and transparent elections. Today, our two countries are standing up for democracy and human rights around the world. These enduring values are the foundation of our partnership.
As you celebrate this special day, know that the United States is a friend and partner. Happy Independence Day and best wishes for a year of peace and prosperity.

"STEC O104:H4 E. coli Outbreak In Europe: eCDC Stats For June 2, 2011 & What They Mean For You & Your Family" By Reverend Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"

eCDC Headquarters 'Tomteboda' http://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/Pages/home.aspx

 Dear Readers:

      The eCDC (The European Center For Disease Prevention And Control) has published some new statistics today related to the recent E.coli STEC O104:H4 outbreak attributed to contaminated 'raw vegetables', including cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce.

      Please exercise care when listening to 'headlines' regarding the number of deaths and illnesses allegedly taking place.

      Make no mistake: this is a horrible infection which is spread very easily and it is deadly.

     However, at the present time, the eCDC, the U.S. CDC and the individual health agencies of the European states are AT ODDS WITH EACH OTHER when it comes to 'NUMBERS of DEATHS and ILLNESS'.

     For background information, be sure to also read the FIRST in my series of articles, for you so that you and your loved ones may be safe during this food crisis: 
LINK: http://dearoneshealingministry.blogspot.com/2011/06/e-coli-outbreak-in-europe-stec-0104h4.html

     It is important to not PANIC in Europe or elsewhere at this time, but do exercise proper food-preparation precautions, and, for now, AVOID ANY AND ALL FOODSTUFFS IMPLICATED IN THIS RECENT STEC O104:H4 OUTBREAK!

     Remember that it is the 'SHIGA-Type Toxin' which causes death and tissue destruction with this STEC O104:H4 outbreak and this toxin cannot be washed away.

     Also, it is impossible to totally disinfect (i.e. wash with soap and water or with water and chlorine) foods such as vegetables.
     Thus, unfortunately for now, the only way to avoid becoming infected with this E. coli species is to AVOID ALL FOODS REPORTED TO BE CONTAMINATED IN EUROPE.

     For those in the U.S., I urge that you maintain a 'high index of suspicion' with fresh vegetables until and unless the situation in Europe is better understood and dealt with.

     Until then, we pray for those at risk at this time that they be safe and be made well.
     Since this is 'reportedly' a strain 'hitherto unseen until now' (which is true outside of academic circles), then the possibility of bioterrorism must be addressed at once by officials!

     As long as 'experts' quibble amongst themselves, the consumer is at risk and must seek their own counsel. 
     If you suspect that you or your family exhibit sign/symptoms of E. coli food-borne disease, wherever you are in the world, get them to a proper health care provider immediately.
     Do not wait, especially with children and infants!
     While this bacteria species is difficult to 'kill', supportive care can be provided and lives saved.
     Remember to keep an eye out for: stomach pain, cramps, diarrhea-bloody or otherwise, nausea, vomiting, weakness, 'feeling sick all over', brain-fog, seizures, urinary/kidney pain and problems, bleeding anywhere, dehydration...and ACT IMMEDIATELY AND GET HELP!

     And be sure to check in here regularly as I attempt to provide you with the very latest advice and VERIFIABLE DATA related to the European STEC O104:H4 outbreak.

God Bless You

Outbreak of Shiga toxin-producing E. coli in Germany Epidemiological update, 2 June 2011, 11:00 On 22 May, Germany reported a significant increase in the number of patients with haemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) and bloody diarrhoea caused by Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC). Since 2 May 2011, 499 cases of HUS have been reported from European Union Member States, including 470 cases in Germany. See table below. While HUS, caused by STEC infections, is usually observed in children under 5 years of age, in this outbreak the great majority of cases are adults, with more than two thirds being women. Ten of the HUS cases have died. Laboratory results indicate that STEC serogroup O104:H4 (Stx2-positve, eae-negative, hly-negative, ESBL, aat, aggR, aap) is the causative agent. PFGE results shows indistinguishable pattern of 7 human O104:H4 outbreak strains in Germany and 2 strains of O104:H4 in Denmark. The source of the outbreak is under investigation, but contaminated food seems the most likely vehicle of infection. There is currently no indication that raw milk or meat is associated with the outbreak. Most cases are from, or have a history of travel to the North of Germany (mainly Schleswig-Holstein, Lower Saxony, North-Rhine-Westphalia and Hamburg). Within the EU, Sweden, United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Denmark and Spain have reported cases of HUS, related to the ongoing outbreak. Number of HUS cases and associated deaths per EU Member States as of 2 June 2011, 11:00 Member States Number of HUS cases Number of death associated Countries reporting cases Denmark 7 0 Germany 470 9 Sweden 15 1 The Netherlands 4 0 The United Kingdom 2 0 Spain  1 0 Based on the available information, cases are associated with an exposure in Germany (mainly northern parts). The vehicle of the outbreak has not yet been identified and intensive investigations are ongoing. The results of these investigations will determine the assessment of this risk. Rapid identification of potential cases linked to this outbreak, within Germany or among persons who have travelled to Germany since the beginning of May, is essential to prevent the development of severe disease. STEC is a group of pathogenic Escherichia coli (E. coli) strains capable of producing Shiga toxins, with the potential to cause severe enteric and systemic disease in humans.

"And The Rockets' Red Glare: Memorial Day Gratitude To Our Heroes" By Reverend Barbara Sexton 'Dear Ones Healing Ministry'

 courtesy  Memorial Day Animations

 Dear Ones:
     We stand solemnly...hands over our hearts (well, most of us, anyway)...as we sing our beloved National Anthem 'The Star-Spangled Banner'.
     It is Memorial Day and we honor military service members who have died for our country.  
     Nary a dry eye will be found amongst  'those who truly care' about the United States of America and let those who feel otherwise while enjoying the benefits of America be but 'objects of their own shame'.
     For this is a time of reflection and communion for the rest of us. 
     It is a time to cling to the good and pray for those who loved liberty enough to have died for it.
     It is a time to memorialize those who fought for us so that we may live in freedom and thus we pray:
"Heavenly Father, hear our prayers:
We pray for those who have fought and died for us.
Is it possible that You might let them know just how grateful we are?
We remember their sacrifice and we are humbled.
We pray that we are worthy of enjoying the liberty and freedom they have presented to us.
Instill in us right-minded hearts and make us 'deserving', Lord.
Lead us to similar service for the betterment of others,
Known to care and ever-caring, 
We put our trust in You, our one and only God.
For you love us...and care for us...and know that you bless America.
We pray these things with hearts overflowing with thanks in the name of your Precious Son Jesus Christ."
AMEN

     Did you know that 'The Star-Spangled Banner' has four stanzas?

     Although usually only the first stanza is sung, our National Motto "In God We Trust" is derived from the line 'In God is our Trust' in the fourth stanza, which was adopted in 1956...

    And don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

 The Star-Spangled Banner

O! say can you see by the dawn’s early light,

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming,

Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,

O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?

And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;

O! say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,

O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

On the shore dimly seen through the mists of the deep,

Where the foe’s haughty host in dread silence reposes,

What is that which the breeze, o’er the towering steep,

As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?

Now it catches the gleam of the morning’s first beam,

In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:

’Tis the star-spangled banner, O! long may it wave

O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

And where is that band who so vauntingly swore

That the havoc of war and the battle’s confusion,

A home and a country, should leave us no more?

Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps’ pollution.

No refuge could save the hireling and slave

From the terror of flight, or the gloom of the grave:

And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave,

O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

O! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand

Between their loved home and the war’s desolation.

Blest with vict’ry and peace, may the Heav’n rescued land

Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!

Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,

And this be our motto: “In God is our trust;”

And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave

O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave!^[12]

^{GOD BLESS AMERICA}

"Osama Bin Laden Death: Thank You Bush, Cheney, CIA & Gitmo" By Reverend Barbara Sexton 'Dear Ones Healing Ministry'

 

UNITED WE STAND President George W. Bush Sept 11, 2001 

graphic courtesy Doug Kidd http://www.leatherneck.com/dougkidd/

 Dear Ones:

     People of good faith pray at all times and in all ways that God's Will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven.

     Today May 2, 2011, Osama Bin Laden was killed and we pray that the world will be a better and safer place henceforth because of it.

     We are grateful to our United States Navy SEALS, USAF and all service members who supported this effort, and we thank them.

     We thank our US Army for 'boots on the ground' here and abroad, serving all Americans.

     And we thank our US Coast Guard and the Seabees for protecting all waters, domestic and foreign.

      President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney deserve our thank-yous for their efforts, as do all those in leadership positions during the last difficult decade in American history, including those of President Obama, if only recently.

      Finally, but not least, we thank our brave CIA and  United States Marine Corps for not only fighting in  Iraq and Afghanistan, but for also faithfully discharging their interminably thankless duties at GITMO.

      I know of many of the travails you suffered and still suffer from there in that God-forsaken tropical hell from irascible 'detainees' intent upon harming the free world.

graphic courtesy Doug Kidd http://www.leatherneck.com/dougkidd/     

     But you've 'hung in there'.  You've persevered despite calls from the world...and even from fellow Americans...to 'scrap Guantanamo'.

     Now it turns out that your efforts have reaped great intel which has been instrumental in bringing a global villain to justice.

     "OOH-RAH", is all I can say, for your sustained dedication to us over all these years.

    May you all those listed above be ever-strengthened and encouraged by the Lord, Himself, during these days and in the difficult ones to come.

God Bless Us All & God Bless America

"INTERNATIONAL UPDATE 4/7/11--Do You Need To Take Potassium Iodide? A Biochemist's Recommendations" By Reverend Barbara Sexton "The Biblical Biochemist-Where Science Meets the Cross"

http://www.whytehouse.com/usa/animation.asp

 www.dearoneshealingministry.blogspot.com

Dear Ones:
     Here is my latest UPDATE for you regarding the need or non-need for potassium iodide tablets/capsules/liquid preparations in view of Japan's Fukushima Nuclear Plant's disaster.
     My entire 'biochemist's perspective', complete advice and recommendations can be found at the link below:
LINK: http://dearoneshealingministry.blogspot.com/2011/03/biochemists-advice-about-potassium.html
     The '4-7-11 UPDATE', itself, found at the bottom of the above detailed article, is as follows, verbatim:
________________________________________________

UPDATED Thurs 4-7-11 By Rev. Barbara Sexton
     With revised and updated traveling restrictions and perimeter restrictions in place, my advice remains pretty much the same regarding the administration of  potassium iodide tablets.
     YES to all visitors to and residents of Japan, as well as for all service members deployed in or near Japan, per their CO's orders.
     NO to residents outside of Japan at this time.
     The EPA and other agencies are monitoring radiation levels in air, food and water in the USA, Europe, Canada and elsewhere.
     Thus far, no major red flags are raised, although some radiation levels are mildly elevated in some samples.
     In my opinion, there is no cause for concern for those outside of Japan at this time.
     Here are some LINKS for you:

[UPDATED 02/05/2011] Triad Alcohol Prep Pads are a component of a convenience kit distributed with Watson’s Trelstar (triptorelin pamoate for injectable suspension) product. The Triad alcohol prep pads should not be used.
[UPDATED 02/01/2011] FDA reminded healthcare professionals about the safe use of non-sterile alcohol prep pads to clean and disinfect the surface of the skin.
[UPDATED 01/28/2011] Triad Alcohol Prep Pads may have been included in U.S. packaging for Arixtra Starter Kits manufactured by GlaxoSmithKline (GSK). The Triad alcohol prep pads should not be used.
[UPDATED 01/26/2011] Triad Alcohol Prep Pads are packaged for use with the kit presentation of Relistor (methylnaltrexone bromide) Subcutaneous Injection in the U.S. The Relistor vial and other components of the kit are not affected by the defective Triad alcohol pad. Relistor sold in single vials also is unaffected by this recall. Pfizer and Progenics advise patients using the Relistor kit not to use the Triad alcohol prep pads included in the Relistor packaging for 1 X 7 kits and 1 X 2 starter kits. When preparing to take their Relistor injection, patients should use an alcohol prep pad from a company other than Triad, or use a sterile gauze pad with isopropyl alcohol.

http://www.khou.com/news/local/Company-recalls-alcohol-swabs-after-toddlers-meningitis-death-116197699.html

Triad Alcohol Products-prep pads, swabs & swabsticks

Dear Ones:

     I've been praying something like this would not have to be written. 
     But there is a possibility that a Houston toddler died as a result of Triad alcohol prep products being used on his recent lumbar surgical incision area after cyst removal surgery.
     And it is, in fact, the tragic story of this youngster Harrison Kothari which may have been the case that triggered the Triad alcohol prep pad and swabstick RECALL I've been writing about here on this blog since January 20, 2011.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Company recalls alcohol swabs after Houston toddler's meningitis death "by Leigh Frillici and Courtney Zubowski / 11 News
www.khou.com 
Posted on February 14, 2011 at 6:17 PM
Updated Monday, Feb 14 at 10:46 PM
HOUSTON—Looking at the pictures of 2-year-old Harrison Kothari in his family’s home, you see a smiling, laughing child.
What you’d never know is the little boy had brain surgery a month earlier to remove a benign cyst.
"He was a happy, beautiful 2-year-old boy," said Sandra Kothari, Harrison’s mother. "He loved music, he loved playing with his 7-year-old sister."
Shortly after turning 2, Harrison died during his hospital stay at Children’s Memorial Hermann. At the time, he had a drain inserted in his spine to remove some fluid, and he was set to go home the next day.
"He had healed fabulously," said Shanoop Kothari, Harrison’s father. "He was going to get the drain removed the next day."
That night, the boy developed bacterial meningitis. He died hours later.
The Kotharis believe alcohol swabs made by TRIAD Group, Inc., were to blame. They say the swabs were used to clean their son’s drain. The Kotharis believe the swabs were contaminated with a nasty bacteria called bacillus cereus—more commonly known to cause food poisoning.
"In managing a lumbar drain, they use the swab on the portal," said Jim Perdue, the Kotharis attorney. "And so, it’s pushed in and pulled back out so there is literally an opportunity to have injected this bacillus cereus into the lumbar drain every time they used an alcohol swab."
Triad Group has voluntarily recalled all of its alcohol products. The company also makes alcohol pads and swabs for dozens of other stores, like CVS, Kroger, Safeway and Walgreens.
Perdue says the concerns aren’t just for patients like Harrison, but also for people who use Triad alcohol pads for injections.
They are suing the company."
"It’s a very resistant bacteria (bacillus cereus)," said Perdue. "The body is able to fight it off if you have a healthy person. But when you’re talking about injections for people with M.S. or diabetes and they’re literally using this at the injection site and then puncturing the skin, it can cause some really serious problems."
Houston endocrinologist Dr. Eric Orzeck said if there was in fact contamination, the very young that don’t have as strong as an immune system are particularly at risk.
"When it’s applied to the skin and there’s an open area in which you would use when you’re getting an IV, that can cause a very severe local infection," said Dr. Orzeck.
He says symptoms could develop within 24 hours of using it.　 Those who haven’t seen symptoms past two days are probably OK, Orzeck said.
There are several symptoms the doctor says to keep in mind.
"It might be headaches or difficulty breathing, obviously infection at the site which would be apparent with redness and swelling," he said.
What concerns the Khotaris is that most people haven’t heard of the recall.
"People could have these in their homes, in their bathrooms right now," said Sandra Kothari.
And so as painful as it is to talk about their son, the Kotharis hope that people will remember their little boy and do a simple thing—check their medicine cabinets.
Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital released a statement in response to the tragic news.
"Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital is deeply saddened by the death of any child in our care," it read. "Memorial Hermann was notified of the product recall in January, one month after this child died. At that time, the product was removed from our shelves. We are dedicated to providing the highest standard of quality care and patient safety at Children’s Memorial Hermann Hospital."
The manufacturer has not responded to an 11 News request for information, but its website states:
"This recall has been initiated due to concerns from a customer about potential contamination of the products with an objectionable organism that may or may not be related to Triad’s manufacture of these products. We are, out of an abundance of caution, recalling these lots and revalidating our production lines…"

     Please have a 'care and a prayer' for this poor grieving Kothari family as we continue to stay on top of the Triad alcohol product FDA Recall.
     And pray for those who manufacture Triad products and for those who manufacture products co-packaged with Triad brand alcohol products.
     It is a worst fear and a nightmare to know that one may be inadvertently, partly or even completely responsible for a tragedy such as the loss of little Harrison Kothari.
God Grant You His Blessings

"Armed Gangs Free Muslim Militants In Egypt" By Reverend Barbara Sexton

Armed Gangs Free Muslim Militants in Egypt January 30, 2011  Associated Press

CAIRO -- Gangs of armed men attacked at least four jails across Egypt before dawn Sunday, helping to free hundreds of Muslim militants and thousands of other inmates as police vanished from the streets of Cairo and other cities.


The U.S. Embassy in Cairo told its citizens in Egypt to consider leaving the country as soon as possible, a display of Washington's escalating concern about the stability of its closest Arab ally.


The army sent hundreds more troops and armored vehicles onto the streets of Cairo and other cities but appeared to be taking little action against gangs of young men with guns and large sticks who were smashing cars and robbing people.


At least one Nile-side shopping mall in Cairo was on fire after being looted the previous day.

Dear Lord:
Please keep all who love peace from harm. 
Please Bless and Keep Coptic Christians in Egypt who are persecuted every day by those intent on evil.
Please grant our USMC Your Mighty Strength & Power to Protect
And ever-remember your sons and daughters in Israel.
In Jesus's Name,
AMEN
