Speaker 1 What is today is doctor Peter Milos and he’s our in house genius and you know the nickname I gave him Live Wrong and prosper and his objective is to get all our seventy year olds. Now maybe we can hate a hundred Doctor Michelos, what is your advice for this Sunday?

Speaker 2 Today we’re going to talk about a very important topic and that is infectious diseases. The World Health Organization reported that infectious diseases in the world kill seventeen million people a year, and every day in the news, we keep hearing and seeing more and more about infectious diseases and just to get an idea of what’s happening. Basically, in

the last twenty years, thirty new diseases around the world have emerged, and we find out things like ebola, which popped out of nowhere. We’re seeing hostile acquired sepsis on the rise, which is an infection in the blood. The cd T reported a threefold increase incidence in disease from ticks, mosquitoes, fleas like West style virus, Zeca virus, malaria, and lyons disease.

And recently we also heard about in the state of Louisiana, there was an illegal migrant from China that had resistant TB that means it doesn’t respond to the regular drugs. And the State of Louisiana is suing mister Myracus and Ice because they’re allowing people in who have some of these diseases, and this disease basically is going to cause

havoc on the state and the healthcare system. And that’s a big problem because we really need I believe, of course, and immigration. We all came from immigrants, but I think we need an Ellis Island type health screening process if we’re going to be bringing in large numbers of people and placing them in the school systems and in the

work place and a restaurants. Because in the end, in sextious diseases are able to kill so many people in the world, two and a half million people a year die from HIV, viral hepatitis and sexually transmitted diseases alone.

And in the United States, you know, we’re basically seeing all these resistant cases of syphilis, gnarrhea, chlamydia, and tricoma. And it’s amazing that of those diseases I just mentioned that were sexually transmitted, there are a million of these cases a day worldwide, and that’s really a lot.

Speaker 1 And the big thing, doctor b Close is they’re sexually transmitted. Even though an American woman doesn’t have sex with a migrant, they might get raped because there’s been a lot of rape cases.

Speaker 2 Well of course, any type, whether you know, illegal, whoever it is, if those people aren’t getting the proper treatment we still have in the worldwide, six hundred thousand people die from HIV alone. You know, one point three million people die a year from viral hepatitis cases. And you know, other things contribute to and of course the climate is

constantly changing. The Earth is constantly changing, and climate change from various causes and just everything from solar flares, geomagnetic storms, and the earth is alive, it’s constantly changing. As we’ve shown. When they dug vulstok ice samples in the Arctic and they dig down a couple of miles and they look at the atmosphere forty thousand years ago, they see wild

fluctuations in CO two warming and heating. So it’s nothing new. The you know, of course man contributes to part of it, but there’s other things too.

Speaker 1 In forty thousand years there’s nothing compared to the Earth’s for billion years.

Speaker 2 Though exactly the Earth is spinning one thousand miles an hour as we sit here, and it’s space, and it’s going around the Sun at sixty thousand miles an hour plus when we get hit, Nobody talks about all these extreme solar flares. We’re at a peak solar maximum where the Sun is bursting off these solar flares and eruptions.

And guess what. All that radiation and heat hitting the planet is also affecting things. And we saw things like, for example, the floods in Pakistan. Then right after those floods you see more cases of dang malaria, measles, COVID and even all these wars around the world. Guess what places like in Ukraine, you’re going to see more diseases

where there’s bombing going on, whether it’s in demon or in Gods are the cases of polio and measles arising all over wherever there’s war. Guess what diseases? Why? Because the water supply gets destroyed, the sewer supplies gets destroyed.

And every time we see these floods at North Carolin in Nashville, nobody talks about when the flood water goes into those septic systems, all the bacteria E. Coli hold the bacteria come up to the surface, so we’re seeing more diseases. That’s why it’s so important that the United States as the country, invests in research and development, and

that’s why people sometimes complain about the price of an antibiotic or medicine, but that’s where the money comes from to develop the next generation that’s going to attack some of these resistant bugs and kill some of these viruses, like some of these amazing anti virals we have against covid, amazing anti virals we have against flu, and even one

of them, malnupiavera, which is used in covid, is even going to probably be approved for RSV respiratory and soitial virus. So it’s pretty amazing that these things are happening. And the other thing again to remind people to protect the young, because fifteen to twenty four year olds represents fifty percent of the cases of gunnarrhea, syphlus and committee, which are

the sex we transmitted diseases, and congenital siphliss, meaning these innocent babies are catching it from the mother is up nine hundred and thirty seven percent worldwide, and that is a lot, and you have to diagnose and treat otherwise you get congenital brain damage. And what young people don’t realize when they get these diseases that affect the pelvis,

especially young women, they get this thing called pelvic inflammatory disease from getting these infections, and that can make them infertile and sterile. So that’s a serious issue and we have to put seriously.

Speaker 1 Born to it and doctor. What percentage of these new diseases are coming to the United States because of a migrant crisis, any idea?

Speaker 2 Well, no, we don’t know because nothing is recorded. Just like when they say they’re doing a background check where people are vetted, they’re using United States databases. I had a gentleman who is a former Rice agent. He goes, doc, let me explain to you how it works. We don’t have access to any of the databases from any of

these other countries. They just don’t have the data basis. So that’s how they found out afterwards that we had thirteen thousand people who were criminal migrants who for example, were convicted in other countries. Of course, they try to get into this country because you get a second chance, you get a new life. You’re a convicted murderer, rapist, criminal,

whatever you are, and you get through the border. It’s a lot easier because you can start again and you just rip up your passport and just say whatever you want. So there’s no way to do checkups. And we also have no access to people’s medical records, so it would be nice. But that’s why we need to be compassionate

to people here in this country and everybody, not just you know, people jumping the line at the border, but we need to be compassionate and treat people and get them access to good medical cares because medical care is part of national security, because if we don’t have a healthy population and a healthy armed forces, we have a

big problem.

Speaker 1 So help Agreed well, agreed well, doctor Peter Mihillos, thank you for your update. Thank you for you know, I’m sure you’ve made a lot of our listeners live longer and stay alive. And thank you for all your helpful all Americans

Speaker 2 And thank you for giving us the platform to get the truth out every week on the CATS round Table.
