My brother sent this New York times article to me and it was surprising to me to see that it was about Ecopsychology.
The thoughts of us being connected to the earth is more and more being examined to see what we are missing and why many of us are feeling alienated or uncomfortable with where we are as humans. I found lots to think about.

All TRUTH passes through 3 stages:
1st - it is ridiculed

3rd - it is accepted as SELF EVIDENT

Homeopathy will soon be in the 3rd phase.

The 4th World War-The Corporations versus Mankind
This morning I read in the New York TImes and it is news everywhere that the Supreme Court of the United States has overturned the law restricting Corporation spending: that the government may not ban political spending by corporations in candidate elections. Citing the First Amendment as support for this action it places a corporation in the same category as an individual. America the bastion of freedom and equality has lost a major battle for now Corporations is equated with an individual and can freely wield its money to the side that supports them.
It is a terrible loss for now what has been going on behind our backs but with at least some recourse in law will be openly done with no recourse. This, in the clear evidence that Corporations are not people but businesses with the sole first purpose of earning profit for its owners. How many cases against Corporations are in the courts that are challenging the destruction of the world we live in and the people who live in it?
Starting with the Banks and its rape of ordinary citizens, the Chemical companies that are destroying the earth , the Pharmaceutical that are poisoning the people of the earth, we and the earth are at war to survive. It is not global warming or cooling that is the enemy of our survival but Greed. This began centuries ago, since man has been able to write history we know this, and it is now coming to fruition. Like all religions we are being eaten from inside by Greed for both wealth and power over man.
Greed causes destruction and is firmly set throgh the porfit motive in the Corporation and the Executives who run them; innocent patsies beholden to pieces of paper that they willingly obey: Poisoning the world, themselves and their own children's minds and bodies to satisfy the Corporate weal. The war is in full swing around the world.
We, each and every one of us are the enemy of the corporation and we are being chopped down to manageable no different than the forest in Brazil by unbridled Greed. We are brainwashed to accept our fate as what must be.
We are losing the war right now for even though there are pockets of resistance we are yet to take our destinies back from our enemy the Corporation with its unending money to have its bidding done. So far the Corporation has won every battle by every group to bring sanity back to our lives. The Corporation is amoral and in that it is immoral. It does not judge itself except by its monitary growth and all others measures are of no real interest save to support their prime directive.
It is not enough for individuals to rail, for small groups to rail or even for governments to rail unless we all rail together and deny the Corporation its current place of power by taking away its profits. Margaret Mead said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful people can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
We have a small group and it is called Mankind and we have a way of talking to each other and joining forces to battle and that is the Internet. We have to be openly subversive until as a mass we crush our enemy. It is a final passive resistance that is the only way to win.
We have to put down our own personal greed and turn a deaf ear to the brainwashing of the Corporations. We have to put down our fears and embrace modesty as a proper way of being and know that sharing will bring us back to family, friends and community. In respecting all we respect ourselves.
Do we have the strength left to fight this final battle? We cannot know unless we gird our loins and take up the cry. The world is one and devided we die.
The Swine Flu vaccine is perhaps the first time people have wond a battle. We have seen massive scare tactics by the Governments, WHO and the Pharmas FAIL because we refused the brainwashing. Many countries, no matter how the "Pandemic" was hyped, found its citizens and its own medical fraternity opting out of what was a planned media campaign. Nature itself was our ally.
We have a chance if we all come together. We can win the 4th World War.
Act Modest, think Bold, do your part help the world come together.

EU to examine the Swine Flu pandemic - was it created.
http://twitwall.com/view/?what=060D05080A
Here is a news article by the EU who are probing the possibility that the Swine Flu pandemic was fostered by the Pharmaceutical Industries hold over the WHO. Slowly but surely the people of the world will hear the truth. It is time. Let's hope this probe will not get burried under the weight of Pharma's money to buy silence.

A mother who cares.
This lady, Nonie De Long who I know,has been through several years of fighting to get the proper attention for her son and in the end has prevailed to a good outcome. She realizes fully that the current trend of our doctors with the support of School Boards and Governments is to medicate at the first signs of dysfunction in school children. The case below is a current battle. Read it and if compelled please get in touch with her as to how you can help.
Hello Friends and Fellow Activists,
Happy New Year!
I am sending you a link to a letter from the school board (posted on my blog) which threatens a Toronto family to remove their child from their care if he is not medicated. The child was recently diagnosed ADHD because staff feel he is not complying and performing well in school. The father has adamantly refused pharmaceuticals as a first treatment option and is actively investigating natural treatment options. He questions the ADHD diagnosis. He has been educating himself and has contacted a renowned Toronto physician (Dr. Zoltan Rona) who has turned to natural treatments as his primary prescription. As you may know, my own son was removed from my care when I refused the prescribed pharmaceutical and residential treatment options for his 'mental illness' - a diagnosis that changed because he became so well after I treated him with natural treatments (food elimination and vitamins). I fought and had him returned, but the events traumatized both of us.
You may not know that the American Food and Drug Administration classes Ritalin as a Schedule II substance - the same type of stimulant as cocaine, morphine, and opium, but recognized to be more addictive. The World Health Organization and the U.N. International Control Board have issued two official warnings about the drug and the growing dependence - particularly in America - to it. Some European countries have banned it. Many doctors are now recommending that pharmaceutical treatment for children should not be the first treatment option. Some children die from long term use of Ritalin, and there are a host of other long term side effects. Ritalin and SSRI antidepressants have been linked conclusively to acts of violence in children and teens:
* Shawn Cooper, a 15-year-old sophomore at Notus Junior-Senior High School in Notus, Idaho, fired a shotgun at his fellow students in April. Cooper was on Ritalin.
* Thomas Solomon, a 15-year-old at Heritage High School in Conyers, Georgia, shot and wounded six classmates in May. Solomon was on Ritalin.
* Kip Kinkel, a 15-year-old at Thurston High School in Springfield, Oregon, killed his parents and two classmates and wounded 22 other students last year. Kinkel was on Ritalin and Prozac, an anti-depressant.
* Eric Harris, one of the Columbine High School killers, was on the anti-depressant drug Luvox.
* Rod Matthews, 14, beat a classmate to death with a baseball bat in 1986 in Canton, Massachusetts. Matthews had been on Ritalin since the third grade.
Please go to my blog with the link below and read the article and SHARE IT WITH EVERYONE YOU KNOW. I would like to generate some public support for this family. After reading the letter, if you are inclined to support the family with a letter, please direct it to my e mail with your name and address. It should be addressed to the Toronto School Board. I am keeping the family anonymous at this time, but I can tell you this is not a unique situation. Unfortunately, it has become very common. Please reach out to show support for this family and their right to choose the treatment they feel is safest and most effective for their child. You will also be sending a message to the public school system about community intolerance for bullying tactics like these to force parents into treatment options they do not feel safe implementing. If you are unconvinced that Ritalin and mind altering pharmaceuticals are unsafe and indiscriminately used, I would be happy to share my own personal story with you.
Thank you in advance for your support for this important cause!

Big Pharma and Oxycontin abuse
From an article by Steve Hayes of Novus Medical Detox Centre in Florida http://www.novusdetox.com/faq.php
They do wonderful work with addicts of all sorts and press the government whenever possible to get dangerous drugs off the market---
We know this about Big Pharma:
* They have a philosophy that they make very clear-"if you want to receive our money then you better not do anything that interferes with our making money".
* They spend millions of dollars a year trying to ensure that their legislative agenda is protected.
* In this year alone, lobbying records show that they have contributed over $7.5 million to Members of Congress.
* They don't care how many are killed or injured as long as they make profits.
HOW OXYCONTIN IS ABUSED
OxyContin is oxycodone, legal heroin, that is coated and, if swallowed whole, will release the oxycodone over a six to ten hour period. However, if it is chewed or crushed, then all of the oxycodone is immediately available.
Many of our patients who come to Novus Medical Detox Center to withdraw from heroin started their path to addiction by taking OxyContin and switched to heroin because it was cheaper and the same type of high.
WHAT YOU EXPECT FROM A CRIMINAL COMPANY
Since OxyContin's release, Purdue has known:
* OxyContin could easily be converted to oxycodone.
* OxyContin was being abused and was causing addictions and deaths.
* OxyContin was largely responsible for creating a new opium epidemic.
* OxyContin being abused just meant more OxyContin sales.
* OxyContin sales, even if to addicts, just meant more profits.
LATEST OXYCONTIN SCAM FROM PURDUE PHARMA
Purdue is surprised, but people are actually starting to get upset about the abuse of OxyContin. Purdue has proposed to the FDA a new formulation that they say is not as easy to abuse.
Typical of Purdue, they "neglected" to see what would happen if you simply put their new OxyContin on a cookie sheet and baked it in the oven for a time. Would it become easily abused oxycodone?
When confronted at the FDA hearing with this allegation by Larry Golbom of Prescription Addiction Radio, Purdue was forced to notify the FDA that they had "forgotten" to test this way of defeating their new formulation.
CONGRESSWOMAN MARY BONO MACK
In 1998, Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack was first elected to serve the people of California's 45th District through a special election held to fill the seat left vacant by her late husband, Congressman Sonny Bono. Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack is now married to U.S. Congressman Connie Mack.
ACT OF COURAGE
Congresswoman Bono Mack has seen the growing problem of prescription drug abuse and addiction among Americans young and old and has been vitally interested in how she can help. She signed the Ban OxyContin petition.

Climate change and what causes it Us or Sun Spots
http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=sun-spots-and-climate-change
This is a wonderful article from Scientific America. It has a thoughtful conclusion.
We are living in a scientific world and its people, more and more driven by panic created by the media. If one can raise panic one can do one's own wishes.
It is true we should begin to control ourselves and respect the earth and the privilege we each have in being here. We are part of the earth's fabric.We should pay attention to it as much as we do to ourselves for it is part of ourselves. This comes through love and understanding which in terms come from our parents and leaders and societies.
We only seem to get the message by panic first and instead of actually really paying attention we are responding with knee jerk reactions. instead of measured work on curbing our desires and expectations and supporting our innate knowledge that little is needed to live and enjoy and fulfill. There is enough for all if GREED is not the credo.

2010 Magic Numbers
Magic is a personal decision and so 2010 is officially magic in my lexicon of numbers. Sounds good doesn't it. Sort of foolish but then what we cannot know we can believe what we want. I can believe what I want.
Is it truer if more people believe it? Not if we cannot know. And yet the human over the centuries has created his belief systems mostly based on what he cannot know. Vast empires of religions have risen and fallen or lie stagnant waiting for a shriveling up and all are based on what we cannot know.
There is lots than we can know. Humans have the capacity to experience and learn from observation. We can store information and have learned to store it even into electronic space so we can gain experience even without experiencing things directly. Thus over time through experiences we can directly learn and know.
I have been one to learn mostly by experiencing first hand. It is only later in my life that words and what they mean have come more to the fore of my mind. My real experiences in life through film making, healing and teaching get me to this point of real confidence in the reality of what I can know.
What I cannot know is of use as well. As I get older I get both more controlled and wilder in my creativity at every level. I explore my curiosity continually for it challenges me at every turn.
I meditate. It helps me stay in charge of my mind more Slowly the wild child is settling down to perform the more serious work of the person I am. The healer, helper and motivator; the artist, creator and activist.

What are we? A Christmas wish.
http://www.ted.com/talks/jill_bolte_taylor_s_powerful_stroke_of_insight.html
As I listen to Jill Bolte take me from the left side of my brain, my operating systems to my right side of my brain that is connected to the Universe I open more and more to the greatness of our energies. It is a remarkable experience and joins us all in the most complete ways.
My poems seem to echo the ideas.
Walking through tall grass,
is it any wonder that it rains?
Flowers appear.
To stand in the sun and feel its energy inside myself,
a blessing that attaches me to all.
Flowers blossom into colours.
ef
An atom controlled has power beyond the imagining mind.
How powerful each of ourselves are: so many atoms.
Every seed is everything,

Such a special time of year. How lucky I am to be able to once again celebrate with my family and friends and my blog.
I am up in Restoule in the country with my brother and his family on their Honey farm. What a hive of energy every day and today is no exception. The turkey in the stove the vegetables being diced for cooking and mashing. The stuffing being made and the gravy stock the turkey neck on the boil.
We all have made different versions of Liptauer and Stef says we are in a Lipoff. 4 kinds including one made by Stephen who is from Uganda and doing research at York. He is helping me to write my stories.
I hope everyone who reads this has a wonderful day enjoying life to its fullest.

A convesation with Dana Ullman and Dr. Roy
http://www.voiceamerica.com/voiceamerica/vepisode.aspx?aid=43033
This is a wonderful talk to give you some perspective on Homeopathy, what it is and how effective it has been for more than two centuries. I marvel at Dana's ability to bring the ideas and facts forward so clearly so we can all easily understand them.

How Homeopathy works.
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/dana-ullman/how-homeopathic-medicines_b_389146.html
Dana Ullman who is a wonderful spokesperson for Homeopathy describes how homeopathy works in this article on Huffington Post. It is easily understood and a pleasure to read.
Below is an article that appeared in the British Medical Journal. It is fairly dense but it is the first to study the tests done on some of the vaccines and report that they are not very effective and do have side effects that further raise the question of why are we being encouraged to take these flu shots. Dense as it is it is worth reading to get some of the conclusions. It is very telling that it appears in a major medical magazine for doctors.

Be well and stay away from vaccines.

People are not fooled by the FDA and its reign of fear!!!
Today I was sent an article in which the FDA has now publicly stated to beware of Homeopathy and several other medicines being suggested to deal with the flu. I was horrified to see this. How dare they. I wrote about my indignation to Alan Phillips who is an advocate of Homeopathy and a lawyer who works tirelessly on behalf of Homeopathy. His response gives me great hope and the courage to continue what I do to get the word out that Homeopathy is a superb paradigm of healing. Following is his answer to me.
Since a majority of people polled have serious reservations about the swine flu vaccine, I have to at least tentatively conclude that a growing number of people are not taking government health officials at face value. It seems to me that they are making a mistake to take the hard line that they have on the necessity of vaccines and pharmaceuticals and against other approaches. The more they dig in their heals and draw hard lines, the more they force these issues into an "all or nothing" category that eventually undermines their authority.
The swine flu situation is unique in many respects--perhaps most noteworthy is the fact that despite mainstream media hype, a majority of people have concerns about the official position. While unsettling for us as individuals, this bodes well for society, if it evidences or portends a crack in the authoritative "egg", the no-questions-asked-you-guys-are-the-experts hold they have held over us for so many decades now.
We certainly have our work cut out for us, but more and more people are looking into things on their own, and coming to their own conclusions. I think we're moving in the right direction. The fact that the FDA feels the need to discredit homeopathy by name is an indication that homeopathy poses a threat to the pharmaceutical industry. So while I do not applaud the act, it is, at least in that regard, a good indicator. We may be moving in the right direction!

in praise of the magazine HPathy
I understand little and know less but I am an experiential healer using Homeopathy and Bach Flower Remedies. I carry the books for everyday diagnosing and a large kit of Homeopathic remedies either 6C 30C or 200C and all the Bach flowers. I let the patient choose and if I have the remedy I offer. If taken I will always go some time later and ask what happened. I ask myself that too. Almost always there is improvement and sometimes it is startling.
I know Homeopathy and the Flower Remedies are effective.
I have been reading your magazine for many months, sometimes understanding what is being said and most often not. But I enjoy every moment with the articles both on the practical side and the scholarly side. I too marvel at the energy/directional electricity that renders itself into mathematical equations and am so happy that our Einsteins are progressing. Not that I care other than it may mean more people will embrace the remedies and reap the rewards.
I often laugh with excited joy as I read and learn here.
Thank you so much, all who manage and all who contribute.
HPathy - Better than Boys Own Annual when I was a boy.
I recommend this month to all including medical doctors. It is a wealth of knowledge and responses to the challenges of science and health.

Honey and Cinnamon: Healing benefits for many illnesses.
This came to me the other day and I cannot resist publishing it. So many of us look to medicines to heal ourselves and it is great to see that humble honey is a giant in helping healing. Remember to always use local honey that is not pasteurized for best results. If you wonder where to get honey in Ontario look no further than my brother and his wife's honey farm. They have many products for sale and Stefan my brother is a healer using apitherapy and many combinations of propolis, raw honey, royal jelly and bee pollen. http://boardshoneyfarm.com
Read on and be surprised at the combinations of honey and cinnamon that can help heal.
Cinnamon and Honey
Honey is the only food on the planet that will not spoil or rot. It will do what some call turning to sugar. In reality honey is always honey. However, when left in a cool dark place for a long time it will do what I rather call "crystallizing". When this happens I loosen the lid, boil some water, and sit the honey container in the hot water, turn off the heat and let it liquefy. It is then as good as it ever was. Never boil honey or put it in a microwave. To do so will kill the enzymes in the honey.
Cinnamon and Honey
Bet the drug companies won't like this one getting around. Facts on Honey and Cinnamon: It is found that a mixture of honey and Cinnamon cures most diseases. Honey is produced in most of the countries of the world. Scientists of today also accept honey as a 'Ram Ban' (very effective) medicine for all kinds of diseases. Honey can be used without any side effects for any kind of diseases.
Today's science says that even though honey is sweet, if taken in the right dosage as a medicine, it does not harm diabetic patients. Weekly World News, a magazine in Canada , in its issue dated 17 January,1995 has given the following list of diseases that can be cured by honey and cinnamon as researched by western scientists:
HEART DISEASES:
Make a paste of honey and cinnamon powder, apply on bread, instead of jelly and jam, and eat it regularly for breakfast. It reduces the cholesterol in the arteries and saves the patient from heart attack. Also, those who have already had an attack, if they do this process daily, they are kept miles away from the next attack. Regular use of the above process relieves loss of breath and strengthens the heart beat. In America and Canada , various nursing homes have treated patients successfully and have found that as you age, the arteries and veins lose their flexibility and get clogged; honey and cinnamon revitalize the arteries and veins.
ARTHRITIS:
Arthritis patients may take daily, morning and night, one cup of hot water with two spoons of honey and one small teaspoon of cinnamon powder. If taken regularly even chronic arthritis can be cured. In a recent research conducted at the Copenhagen University, it was found that when the doctors treated their patients with a mixture of one tablespoon Honey and half teaspoon Cinnamon powder before breakfast, they found that within a week, out of the 200 people so treated, practically 73 patients were totally relieved of pain, and within a month, mostly all the patients who could not walk or move around because of arthritis started walking without pain.
BLADDER INFECTIONS:
Take two tablespoons of cinnamon powder and one teaspoon of honey in a glass of lukewarm water and drink it. It destroys the germs in the bladder.
CHOLESTEROL:
Two tablespoons of honey and three teaspoons of Cinnamon Powder mixed in 16 ounces of tea water, given to a cholesterol patient, was found to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood by 10 percent within two hours. As mentioned for arthritic patients, if taken three times a day, any chronic cholesterol is cured. According to information received in the said Journal, pure honey taken with food daily relieves complaints of cholesterol.
COLDS:
Those suffering from common or severe colds should take one tablespoon lukewarm honey with 1/4 spoon cinnamon powder daily for three days. This process will cure most chronic cough, cold, and clear the sinuses.
UPSET STOMACH:
Honey taken with cinnamon powder cures stomach ache and also clears stomach ulcers from the root.
GAS:
According to the studies done in India and Japan, it is revealed that if Honey is taken with cinnamon powder the stomach is relieved of gas.
IMMUNE SYSTEM:
Daily use of honey and cinnamon powder strengthens the immune system and protects the body from bacteria and viral attacks. Scientists have found that honey has various vitamins and iron in large amounts. Constant use of Honey strengthens the white blood corpuscles to fight bacterial and viral diseases.
INDIGESTION:
Cinnamon powder sprinkled on two tablespoons of honey taken before food relieves acidity and digests the heaviest of meals.
INFLUENZA:
A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural ' Ingredient' which kills the influenza germs and saves the patient from flu.
LONGEVITY:
Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly, arrests the ravages of old age. Take four spoons of honey, one spoon of cinnamon powder, and three cups of water and boil to make like tea. Drink 1/4 cup, three to four times a day. It keeps the skin fresh and soft and arrests old age. Life spans also increase and even a 100 year old, starts performing the chores of a 20-year-old.
PIMPLES:
Three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon powder paste. Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it next morning with warm water. If done daily for two weeks, it removes pimples from the root.
SKIN INFECTIONS:
Applying honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts on the affected parts cures eczema, ringworm and all types of skin infections.
WEIGHT LOSS:
Daily in the morning one half hour before breakfast on an empty stomach, and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder boiled in one cup of water. If taken regularly, it reduces the weight of even the most obese person. Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high calorie diet.
CANCER:
Recent research in Japan and Australia has revealed that advanced cancer of the stomach and bones have been cured successfully. Patients suffering from these kinds of cancer should daily take one tablespoon of honey with one teaspoon of cinnamon powder for one month three times a day.
FATIGUE:
Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more helpful rather than being detrimental to the strength of the body. Senior citizens, who take honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts, are more alert and flexible. Dr. Milton, who has done research, says that a half tablespoon of honey taken in a glass of water and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, taken daily after brushing and in the afternoon at about 3:00 P.M. when the vitality of the body starts to decrease, increases the vitality of the body within a week.
BAD BREATH:
People of South America, first thing in the morning, gargle with one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water, so their breath stays fresh throughout the day.
HEARING LOSS:
Daily morning and night honey and cinnamon powder, taken in equal parts restores hearing. Remember when we were kids? We had toast with real butter and cinnamon sprinkled on it!
Read on and be surprised at the combinations of honey and cinnamon that can help heal.

NSAID and Aspirin/Tylenol dangerous combo with swine flu
The following articles clearly report that using Tylenol, aspirin and any Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory drug is dangerous in fighting the Swine Flu. Doctors and emergency rooms seem to think it is good to drive the temperature of the patient down when in fact this is not true and the body is raising the temperature to deal with the virus.
http://www.articlesnatch.com/Article/H1n1-And-Fever-Reducers--A-Deadly-Combination/786118
Somehow they didnt tell us that you should not take Tylenol when you have the flu because a little boy has now died from doing so. How many times have we given our children Tylenol or Motrin to reduce a fever when they have the flu or after theyve had their vaccinations? How many times have our pediatricians recommended this?
Many people who die with complications related to H1N1 are young people. If you do your homework, youll find that (4-14 old )children and teenagers who take aspirin while they have the flu are at risk for Reyes Syndrome.
http://kidshealth.org/parent/system/medicine/reye.html
Symptoms include:
* persistent vomiting
* lethargy or sleepiness
* in infants, diarrhea and rapid breathing
In the later stages, a child may exhibit irrational behavior, confusion, severe weakness, seizures, and loss of consciousness. There is usually no fever.
Japan put a stop to the use of NSAIDs (ex. Tylenol, Advil, Motrin, etc.) for reducing fever for children with the flu in 2000 and the fatality rates for children with the flu declined. Many people with flu related deaths between 1918 and 1919 in the U.S. were found to have complications beyond pneumonia at the time of death that were attributed to taking aspirin. Just before the high rates of death occurred, the Surgeon General and other health organizations recommended aspirin to the public. According to The British Medical Journal, antipyretics (pain relievers and fever reducers) are the cause for many flu related deaths and people should not take any of these should they get H1N1.
If any person, but particularly small children and others in high risk groups, exhibit any of the following serious warning signs, seek immediate emergency medical care:
* Trouble breathing, including rapid breathing.
* Gray or bluish skin color
* Not drinking enough fluids
* Sleeping constantly and not interacting when awake
* Being especially irritable
* Not urinating or no tears when crying
* The symptoms improve but then return with fever and worse cough
http://forum.baby-gaga.com/about821526.html
The potentially harmful effects of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are rarely discussed in the treatment of A/H1N1flu, which has caused high death rates in Mexico.
Severe and fatal cases, including sudden death, are characterised by severe sepsis with multi-organ failure with findings such as fever, leucocytosis, leucopenia, acute respiratory distresssyndrome (ARDS), liver impairment, renal failure, rhabdomyolysis,and hypotension.
NSAIDs may aggravate these syndromes, leading to multi-organ failure.
