Flushing nose with unclean water may kill you

Cleaning the nose by flushing with saline (salt) water mixed in a certain way is very helpful for people with colds or allergies.  Special spray  bottles or neti pots may be used.

However, if you live in a warm climate and amoeba contaminate the water, failure to use filtered or boiled water may kill you due to an infection with the amoeba causing encephalitis. You must let boiled water cool before using it.  Temperature of the water is important as cold water will cause pain and headache.

It is CRUCIAL that you carefully follow directions about using CLEAN water and not tap or stream water.

Two deaths have recently been reported due to encephalitis caused by amoeba contaminating water used to flush noses- read here

Stop systemic court driven elder abuse and exploitation

Courts around the country are placing the elderly under guardianship and stealing their estates despite no clear evidence by competent doctors that they are incompetent.  Greedy court appointed guardians are given total control to rape their estates and make their last days miserable.  Then their families are barred from visiting them while they are incarcerated in nursing homes. Greedy uncaring relatives may be able to obtain an order of protection against other family members.  Courts ignore law and hired gun crooked psychologists or pschiatrists support this corruption without giving the elderly a chance to hire their own or have the court pay for their own mental health professional.

This must stop.  Please sign this petition for Mary Sykes a 92 yr old woman in this position and write to Cook County Board President Tony Preckwinckle, Chicago Mayor Emmanual and your Congressment, Senators, and legislators.  We need hearings and intervention now. Too many are suffering!
