Social Media Intelligence Enriches Corporations Who Exploit the Defenseless by Sharon Leontine Wallenberg

The UN World Health Organization purchased services from social media intelligence to “listen” to billions of daily exchanges and conversations among social media users on digital platforms, websites, forums, Facebook, and monitor for key words, phrases, and gather, organize, analyze it on immoral and illegal marketing practices of multi-national formula milk manufacturers exploiting parents, mothers, infants.   

Formula milk companies pay social media platforms and influencers for access to pregnant women and mothers who are targeted with personalized social media content not recognizable as advertising.  Content is posted approximately 90 times a day, reaching 229 million users - three times those reached by informational posts with evidence that breastfeeding improves health for Infants and Mothers,

If current formula milk marketing strategies continue, that proportion could fall still further, while boosting companies’ profits of more than $55 billion per year globally.

“The promotion of commercial milk formulas should have been terminated decades ago,” said Dr Francesco Branca, Director of WHO Nutrition and Food Safety Department. “The fact that formula milk companies are now employing even more powerful and insidious marketing techniques to drive up their sales is inexcusable…”

 

 

 

Dairy in Chocolate directly related to Deadly Infection Outbreak by Sharon Leontine Wallenberg

The United Kingdom recently notified WHO of monophasic Salmonella Typhimurium infections linked to dairy in chocolate and distributed to 113+ countries. 

The United Kingdom National Focal Point reported a cluster of Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium.  Evidence linked the outbreak to chocolate products.  Monophasic S. Typhimurium was identified in buttermilk tanks used to make chocolate.  Products included all Kinder products including Kinder Surprise, Kinder Mini Eggs, Kinder Surprise Maxi 100g and Kinder Schoko-Bons.

According to the United Kingdom Health Security Agency, the outbreak strain is resistant to six types of antibiotics: penicillins, aminoglycosides (streptomycin, spectinomycin, kanamycin, and gentamycin), phenicols, sulfonamides, trimethoprim, tetracyclines.

Salmonellosis causes fever, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea (sometimes bloody).  Symptoms occur 6–72 hours after eating food or water contaminated with Salmonella; illness lasts 2–7 days.  In children and elderly, the associated dehydration can become severe and life-threatening.

Salmonella bacteria are found in animals and their secretions, eaten as food including poultry, eggs, cattle, dairy, and pigs, and can be life threatening in some cases.  Don’t eat animals or their secretions!

Overweight and Obesity are Leading Causes of Death and Disability By Sharon L.Wallenberg

Overweight and obesity are leading causes of death and disability according to the World Health Organization European Regional Obesity Report, published by the WHO European Office for the Prevention and Control of Non-communicable Diseases May 3, 2022.  The report contains country-specific data drawn from the 53 WHO European Member States and reveals:  

Overweight and obesity are among the leading causes of death and disability in the WHO European Region, increasing the risk for many non-communicable diseases, including cancer, cardiovascular diseases, type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic respiratory diseases. 

Two thirds of adults in the WHO European Region, and one in three school-aged children, are living with overweight or obesity. 

The meat and dairy based diet is the source of fat and cholesterol which causes overweight and obesity.  The low fat, high fiber plant-based diet is the antidote to this health dilemma. 

Eliminating all milk products: including cheese, yogurt, ice cream and butter, as well as meat, poultry, fish and seafood, and substituting delicious plant-based alternatives will save human lives, reduce pollution and decrease global warming.   The plant-based diet is both delicious and healthful. 

Save your own life!  Go vegan!

 

PEACE ON ALL LEVELS By Sharon L. Wallenberg

 

Now more than ever, the world needs Peace, a peace that is on all levels: between countries, between individuals, and between species. 

‘As long as humans continues to be ruthless destroyers of lower living beings, they will never know health or peace.  For as long as humans massacre animals, they will kill each other.  Indeed, people who sow the seeds of murder and pain cannot reap joy, love, and peace.’  (adapted from) Pythagoras.

Let’s end all wars now and forever starting with what we do, what we say, and what we eat.  Pray for Peace in Ukraine and Go Vegan!!

 

 

END ALL WARS by Sharon L. Wallenberg

While war continues to rage in Ukraine, and the pragmatic, imaginative and determined President Volodymyr Zelenskyy continues to ceaselessly create innovative solutions, we can all hope for peace.  It is my hope that this can and will be accomplished, and that those responsible for the atrocities be punished. 

But what really underpins war, aggression, genocide and fratricide?  Here is some ancient wisdom:

As long as humans continues to be ruthless destroyers of lower living beings, they will never know health or peace.  For as long as humans massacre animals, they will kill each other.  Indeed, people who sow the seeds of murder and pain cannot reap joy, love, and peace.  (adapted from) Pythagoras.

It is my hope that the war in Ukraine ends, rebuilding starts, people who have left return, the healing process begins, the guilty are punished, and this never happens again.  And that all wars end or never start including war on the most defenseless of all, the individuals of other species.

STOP THE DEATH AND DESTRUCTION By Sharon L. Wallenberg

“The most urgent health care need is peace,” according to World Health Organization Director General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

In Ukraine, almost 1,000 innocent civilians have been killed, more than 100 of them were children.  Approximately 7,000 Russian soldiers were killed.  Without medical help, those who survived, but were injured are likely to perish also.

Along with the loss of life of innocent Ukrainian civilians including children, destruction of buildings, roads and infrastructure puts people with cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, HIV and TB, the leading causes of mortality in Ukraine, at risk.  Displacement, poor shelter, and overcrowded living conditions will increase the risk of measles, pneumonia and polio.

War has exacerbating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Only one-third of the adult population is fully vaccinated.  Critical shortages of oxygen impact the ability to treat patients with COVID-19 and other conditions.

Health care needs are immense for basic illnesses, and more complex issues like cancer, renal dialysis, maternal and child health, HIV, TB, and mental health.

Refugees and those displaced in Ukraine are vulnerable, especially women and girls.  Protecting them from abuse and exploitation of all kinds must be a top priority for hosting governments and international organizations.

Although Ukraine is rightly the focus of the world’s attention, there are many other crises in which people are suffering:

In Afghanistan, more than half the population is in need, with widespread malnutrition and a surge in measles, among many other challenges.

In Ethiopia, the blockade of 6 million people in Tigray for almost 500 days has created a catastrophic food and health crisis.

In the Syrian Arab Republic, more than 12 million people are in need of health assistance, almost half of them children.

In Yemen, roughly two-thirds of the population, more than 20 million people, are estimated to be in need of health assistance.

The life-saving medicine we need right now is peace.

Send MiG - 29s! by Sharon L. Wallenberg

 

The courage, resilience, resourcefulness, determination, loyalty, imagination, and resolve of Volodymyr Zelensky and the Ukrainian people in the current unprovoked act of Russian aggression is way beyond anyone’s expectations.  Also astonishing are the shocking actions of Vladimir Putin in waging a bloody, destructive unprovoked war against peaceful neighbors while telling lies to the Russian people.  This can only be described as pure evil. 

Failure of the United States and NATO to provide Ukraine with MiG -29 aircraft to defense of their lives and property in Vladimir Putin’s War, is nothing short of complicity in evil - motivated by cowardice.  No one wants a nuclear war – not even Putin.  The United States and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) should replace cowardice with courage and send the MiGs!
