Today's sermon... "Be good to people"
We should have a goal every day to do at least one good thing for someone else. Don't wait for a special occasion. Don't miss an opportunity to be nice to people. When you are nice to someone, you are sowing a seed for them to be nice to someone else as well. Be a blessing. Are you looking for ways to be good to people? The more you are good to others, the more God will bless you. Our assignment on Earth is to be good to people. That is one of the main reasons God put us here. The real joy in life is not in what we get but in what we give. There is no greater feeling than to make someone else's day. We were created to be givers. Look around at who God has put in your life. You may be someone's miracle. When you give, your kindness will come back to you. Every opportunity you have, be good to people. God has strategically lined up people in your life. You have to sow a seed. "Trust in the Lord and do good." Be a blessing. Being good to people is contagious. When you are kind to people, you start a chain reaction. Lets start some chain reactions of kindness. What would happen if every one of us would do one good thing every day for someone else? Live to be good to people. You don't have to do something big, small things can make a difference. Take time to be good to people. Don't miss an opportunity to be a blessing. Have a goal every day to do one good thing for someone else. Let every day be a blessing day. ~Joel Osteen

Have we not come to such an impasse in the modern world that we must love our enemies - or else? The chain reaction of evil - hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars - must be broken, or else we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

Wuchereria Bancrofti - Lymphatic Filariasis - Elephantiasis

Lymphatic filariasis is a parasitic disease caused by thread-like worms called Wuchereria bancrofti. The parasite is carried from person to person by mosquitoes. 120 million people are infected in subtropical and tropical Asia (mostly in India), Africa, the Pacific and the Americas (mostly in Brazil, Haiti, Guyana and the Dominican Republic). Lymphatic filariasis is the leading cause of permanent disability worldwide. Out of the 120 million more than 30 % are severely incapacitated by the disease. Over one billion people in over 80 countries are at risk of getting infected.

The life cycle of Wuchereria bancrofti starts, when a male and a female mate inside lymphatic vessels of an infected human. The female releases thousands of microfilariae (prelarval eggs) into the bloodstream. When the host is awake, the microfilariae tend to stay in deep blood vessels. During the sleep they travel near the surface in peripheral blood vessels. This behaviour enables them to get ingested by the night biting mosquito. When ingested by the mosquito, the microfilariae migrate through the wall of the proventriculus and cardiac portion of the midgut eventually reaching the thoracic muscles. Within 1–2 weeks they mature into first-stage larvae and eventually into infective third-stage larvae which migrate through the hemocoel to the mosquito's prosbocis. When the mosquito bites another person, the larvae are injected into the human skin. They migrate to the lymph vessels and mature into adults within six months. Adult females can live up to seven years.

Repeated mosquito bites during several months are usually needed to develop lymphatic filariasis. In some cases lymphedema (swollen tissue caused by obstruction of the lymph fluid) may develop within six months and elephantiasis within a year. Citizens of tropical and subtropical areas have the biggest risk whereas tourists have a very low risk.

Wuchereria bancrofti infection is usually asymptomatic. Some people can develop lymphedema, swelling, which is prevalent in the legs, but sometimes also in the arms, genitalia and breasts. The swelling and decreased flow of the lymph fluid will expose the body to skin and lymph system infections. Over time the disease causes thickening and hardening of the skin, a condition called elephantiasis which can be fatal. Filarial infection might also cause pulmonary tropical eosinophilia syndrome, which is mostly found in patients living in Asia. Pulmonary tropical eosinophilia syndrome can cause: cough, shortness of breath, and wheezing. In addition to eosinophilia there might be high levels of IgE (Immunoglobulin E) and antifilarial antibodies.

Diagnosis for lymphatic filariasis is traditionally done from a blood sample by microscopic examination. The sample has to be taken during the night to ensure the microfilariae are present in the bloodstream. The blood can also be studied to check for the presence of antibodies (antifilarial IgG4) that the human body develops to fight against antigens excreted by adult female Wuchereria bancrofti worms. A new method of a highly sensitive "card test" has been developed to detect antigens without laboratory equipment using finger-prick blood droplets taken anytime of the day. Molecular diagnosis by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is possible, too.
