Acting Medical Officer of Health Dr Jim Chirico has issued a boil water advisory, effective immediately, for all residents and properties of Port Loring that are on the communal drinking water system. This advisory is due to a pressure loss in the drinking water system.

A boil water advisory means that people who take their water from the municipal system should not drink the water, use it to brush their teeth, or use it to wash foods, such as fruit and vegetables, which will be consumed without cooking. Water should be brought to a rolling boil and allowed to boil for one full minute. People should ensure that water used for cooking comes to a full boil. Otherwise, the water is safe for bathing and washing clothes.

According to Dr Chirico, “There is no evidence of bacterial contamination; however, tests are being done.”

Health Unit staff are working with Ontario Clean Water Agency in Port Loring and will continue to monitor this situation. The acting medical officer of health will notify the media when the boil water advisory has been lifted.

For more information, call the Health Unit at (705) 474-1400 or 1-800-563-2808. For technical questions, please contact Ontario Clean Water Agency at 472-9671.

Well for years now I have always said that a lot of our doctors have their minds set in the right direction so that they want and do help us humans.  Thing is some don’t, a lot don’t but every once in awhile a good one happens our way.  Take a look at this article that came out just today.   Speaks for itself.  My opinion only.

One of the key researchers involved in the clinical trials for both Gardasil and Cevarix cervical cancer vaccines has gone public with warnings about their safety and effectiveness. This highly unusual warning against these vaccines by one of Big Pharma’s own researchers surfaced in an exclusive interview with the Sunday Express in the UK over the last few days. There, Dr. Diane Harper openly admitted the vaccine doesn’t even prevent cervical cancer, stating, “[The vaccine] will not decrease cervical cancer rates at all.”

This is astonishing news. The whole push behind the cervical cancer vaccines is based on the belief that they prevent cervical cancer. That belief, it turns out, is a myth.

Dr. Harper also warned that the cervical cancer vaccine was being “over-marketed” and that parents should be warned about the possible risk of severe side effects from the vaccine. She even concluded that the vaccine itself is more dangerous than the cervical cancer it claims to prevent!

Well this is the time of year to get busy and make up your medicine from nature.  I got quite a few things on the go here this year. Comfrey Oil and Liniment, Plantain Oil,   Calendula Pedal Oil, Sumac Leave Oil and Liniment, Birch Leave Oil, Cedar Liniment, Cinquefoil Oil & Liniment and lots of other leaves drying for later like grape leaves, raspberry and white birch and all kinds of herbs.  Thing is folks one should be looking after ones self now a days, it’s not hard either, one just has to have an open mind and make some time.  My old friend Grey Wold used to say every time I seen him back at his cottage in the bush.  “Knowing things does not come from learning things, it comes from remembering.”
