ocean

[sammy]

Just got back from being at the ocean for 6 days. and I noticed a big improvement in everything down there, The salt air and water are great and my nose I could actually breathe out of it. My lesions started too heal also. I need too move there and swim everyday in ocean. sammy

The ocean is good for me also, where did you go Sammy?

Since I have been taking this F6 there are tiny issues opening on my flesh, just a few minutes ago I rubbed off a liver spot that looked like it had grown and then it just started to bleed like mad. Brown spots are really vein spots.

Anyway all these little spots respond well to the salt water and sun. Soon I will look like a Mexican Indian, but I still have the tell tale backside, LOL

Baraka, Nice too hear your voice again. went too oc md. However once I got back I noticed flare ups again . I have one lesion I have been doing battle with 35 percent peroxide it almost closes up and next day open again. have too ask you what is the f6 not sure what that is all about. and of course my eyes have been a big prob also. white fibers on the outside of them like skin peeling. and huge white mucus balls in the cornor of the eye. I think the salt air blowing in my face made me feel so much better. sammy

You might want to check to make sure any beach you go to has been tested for bacterial and other infections. A sore subject with most tourist boards in states which have beaches and ocean water is the fact that many beaches are at times not safe to swim in due to various reasons. The last thing any of us need is to be be exposed to water which may cause more infections:

The Daily Beast Homepage Health From Newsweek America's Dirty Beaches

Jul 28, 2010 1:00 PM EDT Tar balls? A sheen of crude? Oil mousse? Amateur hour. The real villains of America’s beaches are not the scattered and dissipating messes from the Deepwater Horizon disaster, but the nationwide and relentless releases of disease-causing pathogens—human and animal feces—that reach the shorelines from storm runoff and sewage overflows.

Tar balls? A sheen of crude? Oil mousse? Amateur hour. The real villains of America’s beaches are not the scattered and dissipating messes from the Deepwater Horizon disaster, but the nationwide and relentless releases of disease-causing pathogens—human and animal feces—that reach the shorelines from storm runoff and sewage overflows. In its 20th annual report on the water quality at America’s beaches, the Natural Resources Defense Council finds that “from stomach-turning pathogens to dangerous oil slicks, America’s beaches continue to suffer from pollution that can make people sick, harm marine life and destroy coastal economies,” said the NRDC’s David Beckman.

Before heading to a beach this weekend—on the Atlantic, the Pacific, the Gulf of Mexico, or the Great Lakes—be sure to check how it fares on measures of bacteria in the water (which come from human and animal waste), on testing that water (some beaches take water samples more frequently than others), and on posting advisories so that people can decide that a day swimming in fecal matter isn’t quite the weekend outing they had in mind. The ratings of popular beaches, arranged by state, are here.

All the data come from government records from 3,000 beaches, including water samples and beach closings or advisories (the latter being issued when bacterial levels in the water are high enough to warn the public about but do not exceed state or federal limits). In 2009, there were 18,682 closing and advisory days. That compares with 2,239 such days in the gulf region from the BP gusher.

The full NRDC report, available here, also includes a five-star rating for 200 of the most popular beaches, based on water quality, monitoring frequency, and public notification of contamination. The best beaches in 2009 were in Minnesota (Lafayette Community Club Beach and Franklin Park at 13th Street on Park Point), New Hampshire (Hampton Beach State Park and Wallis Sands Beach at Wallis Road), California (Bolsa Chica State Beach, Huntington City Beach at the Beach Hut, Newport Beach, Salt Creek Beach at Dana Strands, and portions of Cardiff State Beach and Laguna Beach), and Alabama (Gulf Shores Public Beach). Unfortunately, Gulf Shores has now been closed for 53 days due to the BP spill.

The worst of the popular beaches were in Florida (Ben T. Davis North, Dixie Belle Beach, Monument Beach, Navarre Park, Quietwater Beach, Simmons Park and Treasure Island Beach), Maine (Old Orchard Beach, Long Sands Beach and Short Sands Beach), Mississippi (Courthouse Road Beach, Edgewater Beach and Front Beach), North Carolina (one section of Nags Head), New York (Hamlin Beach State Park, Orchard Beach, Robert Moses State Park Beach, and sections of Rockaway Beach and Coney Island), Rhode Island (Narragansett Town Beach), and South Carolina (Myrtle Beach, South Carolina State Park and Campground, Springmaid Beach and Surfside Beach).

With 7 percent of beachwater samples in violation of health standards for bacterial levels, there was no improvement from 2008 and 2007. The most contaminated beachwater is in the Great Lakes, where 13 percent of water samples violated health standards. The cleanest water is in the Southeast and the Delmarva Peninsula, but there is significant variation state-by-state: the most reported contamination in 2009 was in Louisiana (25 percent of samples exceeding acceptable levels of bacteria), Rhode Island (20 percent), and Illinois (16 percent). Beaches with the least contamination were in New Hampshire (1 percent of samples above allowable contamination levels), Delaware (2 percent), and Oregon (2 percent).

Good news: 2009 saw an 8 percent decrease in closing and advisory days at U.S. beaches (though most of the East Coast and the entire Gulf Coast experienced more closings and advisories). Bad news: much of that can be attributed to the fact that budget cuts have forced beaches in southern California to cut back on water-quality monitoring. What you don’t know about can’t hurt you?

Any bathe in pacific ocean w/ success?

[scabdraggr]

It's the salt not the side of the continent or the depth of the water or the blue green color.

[Baraka Obam]

There is nothing like a good salt water cess pool bath, LOL.

you know all this time I have swam in the ocean and got some sun I always looked better.

I do not worry myself about sea water, i am more worried about what I drink, what I eat and getting exersize.

Sammy dear, you gotta keep on keeping on as long as it will open up then it still has LIVING material inside it.

It took many years to make the lesions, and it usually takes some time to close up the ugly mess for good.

I do not like it, really, its more permenent than anything else once its done for good.

Then it hurts but for less than 5 minutes.

I am doing right now only tiny little bitsy spots that were opened by the F6.

hopefully this will be finished in a few months beaten back down into hell where it belongs

Can't remember if this was posted before, but anyhow:

what i do know, is when im really really sick, if i stay at the beach a few days it works miricles for me. now i never go in the water because im just a huge chicken and dont look great in a bathing suit right now, but the ocean helps me. and tcm is absolutly correct. the bacteria levels change, especially after a rain...

Thats a interesting article, you almost have to imagine most in the world have some form of this disease and the possibility that the disease was in the poor little turtle is possible from eating waste,

Most countries in the world run raw sewage into the rivers and then into the ocean, sea life is being destroyed by mans lack of sense.

Frank Zappa used to have a song that kinda addressed this issue, in the song it said, Don't eat the yellow snow where the husky's go. LOL
