NEWS FLASH !

These are troublesome times; a new virus scare has paralyzed communities, destroyed tourism,  local revenues and threatened newborns with hideous deformity and retardation or death (microcephaly).  Imagine a nightmarish science fiction movie with a terrible monster able undermine the health of the entire planet, destroy future food crops by killing off pollinating insects and animals and permanently contaminate the soil, air and aquifers. And this is only the beginning…

A tiny monster has set this exact nightmare in motion; the Zika virus carrying mosquito has erupted onto the World stage and set into motion public panic and desperate measures for  ‘prevention’- mostly in the form of annihilation by any means possible. The truth is, no one was prepared for the Zika virus onslaught, no more than when West Nile Virus, yellow fever  or dengue fever came on the scene. And what of the future? With no foreseeable ‘cure’, the Zika plague may become our next AIDS epidemic. Finding a cure may be more science than fiction, but as we have seen from past epidemics, it’s not happening in the near future; Big Pharma is not likely to pour money into testing solutions for a problem that may ‘burn out’ or simply become accepted by the World Health Organization.  

Additionally, the onslaught of gassing or fogging communities and public areas with harsh toxins such as DEET and other noxious pesticides may kill off the Zika monster, but it is also leaving in its wake a trail of destruction to necessary, beneficial pollinating insects and natural mosquito ravenous bats and birds. This alone will destroy the ability to farm to the degree of extinction on a global scale.  So while we panic and spray the hell out of the little monster, we are killing off our future, our environment and our health. This is a gigantic problem; how to control the spread of the Zika (and other) viruses to prevent birth defects and sickness while safely preserving our environment for future generations.  

 If we continue using toxic pesticides and children not born with microcephaly are then poisoned with the aftermath of widespread pesticide contamination, perhaps requiring longterm care or at the very least experiencing a degraded life requiring constant medical intervention, we destroy our economy and risk becoming a welfare planet.

Let’s take toxic pesticides out of the equation; if they didn’t exist, what would we do to combat these virus carrying monsters?
