Exactly how zinc stops diarrhea is not entirely clear. Olivier Fontaine, a diarrhea specialist for the WHO, believes that since the mineral is an essential ingredient in about 300 enzymes, boosting zinc levels strengthens the body's immunity, thus preventing diarrhea from turning deadly. A single course apparently also staves off further bouts of diarrhea for about three months — long enough to see a community through the deadly rainy seasons.

I think I'll manage my clips as I see fit to keep them on track and topical.

And as I see it this clip had absolutely nothing to do with religion and everything to do with international aid organizations, philanthropic organizations and good science.

Have a good day. Please come back when you have something to say related to the issues in my clip.

Great clip Bobby.

Please stay on topic.

Great clip Bobby
