Great article from a Reuters reporter traveling with Bono.

ARUSHA, Tanzania
(Reuters) - Rock singer and activist Bono said on Saturday the idea of
eradicating Africa’s biggest killer in the
next decade was as exciting as watching Neil Armstrong take the first walk on
the moon.

The front man for Irish rock band U2 — who is half-way through a six-nation
African jaunt — was inspired by the use of new technology in a family-owned
Tanzanian factory to make nets which will repel mosquitoes, the insect which
transmits malaria.

Malaria infects between 300 million to 500 million people a
year. A million of those taken ill will die, mostly infants and babies. Of the
deaths, more than 80 percent occur in Africa
and more than half those could be prevented if bed nets were made available to
families, according to experts.

    Please look into Jim Humber and his website MiracleMineral.org,
    he has been successfully treating malaria, himself included,
    with the compound sodium chlorite, it’s very cheap and easy to
    administer. Malaria is gone from the body within generally 24-48 hours
    with only one or two doses, depending on type and has little to no
    side effects.
    Jim’s needing the funding to go back, he has the protocol and structure
    already in place. Product is available on eBay and can be made from home.

    Love & Light,
