British beaches suffer flood sewage


A snapshot survey of 553 beaches by the Marine Conservation Society (MCS) has found that one in eight beaches - 71 in all - had been blighted by short-term pollution during the first half of the summer.

According to the World Health Organisation, faecal contamination can cause gastroenteritis, breathing difficulties and diseases such as hepatitis A and typhoid.

Testing of bathing waters is to continue until the end of September. A final report is to be published next May. A beach fails EC water standards if more than one of ten water samples exceed permitted thresholds for faecal or coliform bacteria.read more

I was diagnosed as HEPATITIS B carrier in 2013 with fibrosis of the
liver already present. I started on antiviral medications which
reduced the viral load initially. After a couple of years the virus
became resistant. I started on HEPATITIS B Herbal treatment from
ULTIMATE LIFE CLINIC (www.ultimatelifeclinic.com) in March, 2020. Their
treatment totally reversed the virus. I did another blood test after
the 6 months long treatment and tested negative to the virus. Amazing
