Drug-Resistant Malaria May Pose Major Threat
According to Newsweek, "A strain of drug-resistant malaria that was discovered last summer along the Thailand-Cambodia border has been been spreading throughout Southeast Asia, to Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and Myanmar." Specifically, the samples are resistant to anti-malarial artemisinin.
The study analyzed more than 900 blood samples from malaria patients at over 55 different sites in Myanmar. The results showed that the drug-resistant bug was widespread, and dangerously close to the Indian border in the country’s Sagaing region. "Our study shows that artemisinin resistance extends over more of southeast Asia than had previously been known, and is now present close to the border with India,” wrote the researchers in the study abstract.
There is even new evidence that DDT was not the cause of the egg shell thickness problem. It could have been environmental acidification. Even with much lower use of DDT egg shell thickness is still down.
Some studies show that although DDE levels have fallen dramatically, eggshell thickness remains 10–12 percent thinner than before DDT was first used.
DDE is the metabolite of DDT that is thought to cause egg shell thinning.
It looks like this might be another correlation is not causation problem.
An yet the raptors made a serious comeback after DDT use was cut back. Yesterday I went to the local dump and counted 30 eagles. It's important to have carrion eaters around to slow down disease spread and eagles are very good at eating carrion.

"In malaria, Plasmodium falciparum, for example, depletes its host of Vitamin A, possibly resulting in blindness in some cases. However, 200,000 International Units of Vitamin A, given to children every three months can reduce significantly their susceptibility to malaria. This would seem to be a minimum child dosage for the treatment of the disease."

Take a look
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service biologists fed large doses of DDT to captive bald eagles for 112 days and concluded that “DDT residues encountered by eagles in the environment would not adversely affect eagles or their eggs,” according to a 1966 report published in the “Transcripts of 31st North America Wildlife Conference.”
The device can be build in a day at any University.Please study this and share the word about this Malaria Treatment using Oscillating Magnetic Fields which can be built by Collage or University students.Six million people are dying each year from Malaria.People just like you.Children,men women, mothers and fathers dying in great pain and suffering from malaria right now.Remember just because it's not shown on the tv does not mean it's not happening. www.washington.edu/news/2000/03/30/magnetic-fields-may-hold-key-to-malaria-treatment-uw-researchers-find/
The year 2000 research was confirmed in 2011 and can be seen here:-

How many people does it take before it becomes wrong? A thousand? Fifty thousand? A million? How many people DOES IT TAKE?
1 ) In year 2000 Professor Henry Lai of University of Washington discovered that relatively weak oscillating magnetic fields disrupt the reproductive cycle of the malaria parasite.Here is the link:-

2 ) In year 2008 Davids group became concerned that nobody had done anything for 8 years after the above discovery even though 6000 people were dying daily in Africa and Asia and decided to construct the machine based on Professor Lai's research paper and took it to Ghana for testing.
The pictures you see are of the machine using Oscillating Magnetic Fields to treat malaria patients.The patient simply sits inside the machine for a couple of hours and can read a book ,watch tv ,sleep,read a newspaper,have dinner and even have sex with his partner although it will be a bit tight inside the machine.
Take your time and examine the pictures carefully at high magnification.
The results of the Ghana trip are summarized here:-"Now our first study is finished and 26 patients were treated. Out of the 26 patients, all except one became negative with the magnetic treatment! One felt worse the day after treatment started and decided to go for medication instead, so he dropped out of the study. The other 25 patients all became negative. And the ones who did not have high levels of parasites, were negative right after the first 60 minutes of treatment! This is so fast that we do not really have an explanation of how it could work so quickly. But the results are nothing short of sensational".

3 ) In 2011 Mary Thompson, Department of Physics & Dr. Robert Brown, Department of Physics of Case Western Reserve University and Dr. Brian Grimberg, Center for Global Health and Disease, CWRU School of Medicine published a research pape.It is called:-
" Plasmodium falciparum Response to Oscillating Weak Magnetic Fields"
It validated and confirmed Professor's Lai year 2000 research findings.
You can download it free here:-

Read it a few times and it will allow you to construct the machine using standard equipment found in most collages and universities science labs.
No new complex,expensive parts are required and the device essentially consists of coils of wire connected to a function generator.
4 ) In 2012 Paul Diament and Ilya Trakht did much more detailed research and took out a patent on this application of using oscillating magnetic fields to disrupt the malaria parasites reproductive cycle and studying their effects.
A patent application involves considerable hard work in writing up and presentation.A patent in the U.S.A costs $12000 plus $8000 in attorney/lawyers fees.So to spend so much money on a patent the researchers have to be convinced of their research findings.
Here is the detailed patent:-
