Peru’s
Health Ministry reported that a 29-year-old woman has succumbed to
pneumonic plague in the coastal province of Ascope, which is the same
region where two other deaths from bubonic plague have been reported
since June along with 31 others who have been infected.
Bubonic,
pneumonic and septicemic plague are all caused by the bacterium
Yersinia pestis, which scientists say has the potential to easily
develop a resistance to antibiotics, thus making an outbreak difficult
to treat.
The plague is transmitted by fleas, rodents, infected
humans and consuming infected meats. Scientists have projected that
climate change is likely to bring about more plague by creating
conditions conducive to its growth, including frost-free springs and wet
summers.
In 2009, the World Health Organization linked the
deaths of at least three people in China to the consumption of wild
marmot meat that was infected with the pneumonic plague.
Their
cases illustrated the seriousness of the highly lethal and easily
transmissible disease which can cause the loss of life within a few
short hours.
Our heartfelt condolences to the families of the
Peruvians who lost their lives to this tragic affliction. We pray that
everyone soon realizes the lifesaving benefits of the plant-based diet
in avoiding all such devastating diseases as these.
During an
August 2009 videoconference in Thailand, Supreme Master Ching Hai
discussed the cause and remedy for both disease and global warming.
Supreme Master Ching Hai:
We have produced a lot, a lot, and a lot of negative energy by killing
billions and billions of innocent sentient lives, and killing millions
of our fellow humans even, over millennia, directly or indirectly.
Directly is through war. Indirectly is through disease that we made
ourselves, like with the bubonic plague, pneumonic plague, and now swine
flu, bird flu, etc.
It is not a coincidence that the main cause
of global warming is meat eating. And many of the leading health
problems in our world are also derived from meat eating. So meat eating
is cruelty to animals. Meat eating is
cruelty to our well-being. Meat eating is cruelty to our children’s wellbeing. Meat eating is cruelty to the planet.
Be vegan,and we will never have to suffer many of these kinds of consequences ever, ever again.
