The IDB along with PAHO and the Global Network for Neglected Tropical Diseases are embarking on an initiative to fight diseases which affect the poorest nations in the Region.
In a press release the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) said more than 47 million people in Latin America and the Caribbean are at risk or are being affected by infectious diseases ranging from dengue fever to schistosomiasis. “The IDB is taking a very important step to help the region put an end to these preventable and controllable diseases of poverty,” IDB president Luis Alberto Moreno said, adding that these afflictions have a debilitating effect on social and economic development. He said these diseases disproportionately affect the poor and cause chronic illnesses that prevent millions of people from working and earning decent incomes.
The IDB Board on Wednesday approved a co-financing agreement with the Sabin Vaccine Institute in which the biggest
multilateral lender for Latin America and the Caribbean will design and create a new lending facility to fight parasitic infectious diseases in the region. The new grant facility will support health actions by state and national level entities both governmental and non-governmental in a bid to boost efforts at controlling and eliminating neglected infectious diseases known as NID.
Under the accord the Global Network and the Sabin institute will provide $2.5M over two years to the IDB to develop and launch the facility. The funds are part of a larger grant the Global Network received earlier this year from the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation. The new facility will provide grants to support mass drug administration, preventative chemotherapy and conduct otherwise proven cost-effective interventions to fight tropical diseases. Moreover, it will provide technical assistance to strengthen national and local health information systems and foster cooperation among different sectors of the society and existing health and social programmes to control such ailments.
It will also support measures to eliminate onchocerciasis also known as river blindness and lymphatic filiariasis also known as elephantiasis. It will seek to prevent and control trachoma, the world’s leading cause of infectious blindness and three parasitic diseases: schistosomiasis, soil-transmittd helminthiasis and Chagas disease. The facility will also include interventions to control or drastically reduce the prevalence of other ailments that could be part of an integrated plan; that is dengue, leishmaniasis, rabies transmitted by dogs, plague or other neglected tropical diseases.
Under the technical cooperation agreement the IDB and its partners will develop the architecture, governance and operational arrangements for the new facility which will be funded by donations from governments, foundations, private sector entities and multi and bilateral aid agencies.

The IDB is a profit making institution belonging to the Lords of Poverty. All they are doing here is expanding the profit clientel of the Pharmecutical industry. We trust these entities and they know it, we will willingly allow them to experiment on us with their genetic killer drugs and nuke us with their chemotherapy and send us a bill for it.
We humans possess an immune system which protected us during our entire march from monkeys to man. That system was maintained and made strong and impenetratable by disease because of the whole grain natural foods, herbal medicines,clean air and clean water that our forefathers eat and drank.
We do not need the synthetic products of the Pharmicutical drug pushers, who do not care about health but only profit.
Today all foods are depleted of the essential minerals,nutrients and vitamins we need to maintain a strong immune system and that is why we become infected and sick from these diseases.
In today’s industrial environment we need natural vitamins,calcium and magnesium. Epsom salts is pure magnesium sulphate, by the way.
So here is the health list. Natural vitamins, minerals, Chlorella,Spirulina,Red grapes with the seeds, Apricot seeds,Epsom salts, Aloes, Tumeric, garlic and food grade Hydrogen Peroxide. Do your own research on the internet and you will find other immune strengthing foods.
There is another aspect of our lives that we often times overlook and that is the spiritual part. Regular meditation can boost our physical bodies immensely to the extent that we can cure our own diseases without anything else.
To suppliment your meditative experience get your hands on some Ayuhuaska and take a sip. Those who have tried it says that your entire life unfolds in front of you, all your faults and strengths are revealed to you in a deep spiritual way. You see your past not only from birth but from beyond that. You see yourself as coming into being as cosmic consciousness from the source of prime creator.
This experience is said to cure people of many ailments including drug abuse and alcaholism. We are first and foremost powerful spiritual being fitted into a physical shell so that we can experience 3 dimensional reality.
We have been misled away from our spiritual path and purpose by those who find it profitable to harness us to the yolk of material reality, which is just an illusion in the vast realm of human consciousness.
