The Girl Who Survived Rabies

Four years after she nearly died from rabies, Jeanna Giese is being heralded as the first person known to have survived the virus without receiving a preventative vaccine. But Giese (pronounced Gee-See) says she would gladly share that honor with others if only doctors could show that the treatment used to save her could spare other victims as well. “They shouldn’t stop ’till it’s perfected,” said Giese, now 19, during a recent interview about physicians’ quest to refine the technique that may have kept her alive.

Giese’s wish may come true. Another young girl infected with rabies is still alive more than a month after doctors induced a coma to put her symptoms on hold, just as they did with Giese. Yolanda Caicedo, an infectious disease specialist at Hospital Universitario del Valle in Cali, Colombia, who is treating the latest survivor, confirmed reports in the Colombian newspaper El País that the victim is an eight-year-old girl who came down with symptoms in August, about a month after she was bitten by an apparently rabid cat.

Caicedo said that the family had sought treatment for the bite in Bolivar, at a hospital about three hours by foot from their rural home, but that the child, Nelsy Gomez, did not receive the series of vaccines that can prevent the virus from turning into full-blown rabies.

  1. Relax! – Rabies, AIDS, E. coli, Colds, Flues and any other viruses and pathogens can be killed the moment they touch us – A new era is dawning on humanity – No diseases, no drugs, no vaccines, no vaccine industry, no pharma industry, no doctors, no hospitals, no “therapies” like slicing, poisoning and burning, etc. BS – We humans will stay absolutely healthy all the time, living our Endless Lives – Any infections, allergies, cancers, diabetes, polio, TB, cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, genetic and any other diseases, known on Earth, will be erased from the face of the planet in just a few days, if everybody (kids and adults) start doing my discovery (just an exercise for a minute a day – the greatest discovery of all time on Earth and maybe in the Universe) – My WVCD – The Weapon of Virus and Cancer Destruction – By far more powerful than the human immune system, keeping it intact all the time, for any pathogens are killed the moment they touch us – We humans will possess the Infinite Health and we will become Immortal – Just like the Extraterrestrials, like our Creators from he planet of Nibiru – The Anunnaki, if I am paid 5 billion bucks to disclose my discovery – Just 25 million bucks per country in the world – As a proof of the power of my discovery, for more than 5 years now, I never got sick even of the common cold, my blood sugar level is 300 mg/dl, but I am not sick of diabetes, for I cannot get sick of it, or of any other diseases – I am the healthiest person on the planet, I am absolutely free to eat any food I like, no restrictions whatsoever, doing my discovery for just a minute a day – The only way on Earth for everybody to stay absolutely healthy all the time and of course being Immortal, for Infinite Health = Immortality.

  2. How could it possibly be true that in the US there’s a “close encounter” every two minutes?” The info I have found shows that there are about 10,000 total cases of rabies in animals in the US per year, with less than 1,000 in domestic animals. That math doesn’t work.

  3. jeanna is very pretty.

  4. I thought it was just common knowledge that you get vaccinated immediately after any bite from a strange animal…. kinda blaming the parents for this one.

    • “…that you get vaccinated immediately after any bite…”
      Vaccines don’t work that way. You have to get it BEFORE the bite and it has to have time to be processed by your body. Lots of people chose not to get vaccines because they are relatively new and not all the side effects may not yet be known. I got vaccines for serious diseases like rabies, but I’ve never had a flu vaccine, but I never get sick. Some people have died from reactions to vaccines.

      • Yes you are correct, you are supposed to get a vaccine before getting sick, but the rabies virus is one of the only viruses not recognized by our immune systems. Getting the vaccine allows recognition, within 24 hrs after the bite , and your immune system can safely fight it off. All this information is in the video.

  5. I am unable to pull up this documentary at all. It says that there is no video here at all. I think I’d enjoy watching it, can you please fix this problem? Thanks.
