"For the avian flu medical authorities are rushing to develop new unproven vaccines. Concerned that a resistance to Tamiflu's effects was growing, other drugs like Relenza were recommended for stockpiling.1 "We and the entire world remain unprepared for what could arguably be the most horrific disaster in modern history," said Dr. Gregory A. Poland of the Mayo Clinic speaking about the avian flu. "The key to our survival, in my opinion, and to the continuity of government is vaccination." And "we do not have a licensed or approved vaccine," continued Dr. Poland. Dr. J." - Mark Sircus, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy (Get the book.)

"VIRUS: Scientists at Seoul National University in South Korea fed an extract of kimchi, a spicy Korean version of sauerkraut, to thirteen chickens infected with avian flu. A week later, eleven of the birds started to recover. ULCERS: In a small study, participants who had stomach ulcers drank a liter of fresh cabbage juice daily for ten days. All ulcers had healed by the end of the ten days! Tips on Using Cabbage and Sauerkraut SELECTION AND STORAGE: • Cabbage heads should be large and compact without discolored veins." - David W.

"While he doesn't think avian flu will necessarily become a pandemic, he reports that 90 percent of epidemiologists believe a major pandemic will occur in the next two generations and will make a billion or more people sick. How do we stop pandemics? The way we stopped smallpox: early detection and early response. We won't have a vaccine for avian flu for at least three years, so we need to isolate cases quickly." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.) "Brilliant predicts that, should avian flu start transmitting from person to person, people will not get on airplanes, and commerce as we know it will cease for a sustained period, breaking just-in-time supply chains. While he doesn't think avian flu will necessarily become a pandemic, he reports that 90 percent of epidemiologists believe a major pandemic will occur in the next two generations and will make a billion or more people sick. How do we stop pandemics? The way we stopped smallpox: early detection and early response." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"In Al Gore's 2006 movie An Inconvenient Truth, a disturbing chart cites rising rates of illnesses, among them SARS, malaria, Ebola virus, and avian flu. The documentary's accompanying Web site states that with continued warming, deaths from climate-related illness are expected to rise sharply over the next two decades, according to projections by the World Health Organization. The question emerges: As the planet warms from pollution and infection-bearing mosquitoes and ticks proliferate in more temperate climates, how much will illness rates rise?" - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) "As anyone who watches the six o'clock news well knows, the emergence of pathogens with the potential to become global pandemics is driving a frenzied search for new vaccines for avian flu and viruses such as SARS. For those with autoimmune disease, however, these vaccines might prove just as worrisome as they are reassuring." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) "The H5N1 virus is so virulent that it bypasses the need for any genetic predisposition; anyone can suffer avian flu's severe friendly-fire effect. In 1918, those most likely to die were people with strong immune systems rather than the elderly and very young. Whether those with a predisposition to autoimmunity—who by the very nature of the disease have overly strong immune system responses—are in some way more at risk is a question researchers and patients alike can hope they only have to answer hypothetically. VACCINATION STATION: AUTOIMMUNITY GETS A SHOT INTHE ARM?" - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.) "Like that earlier flu, avian flu unleashes an unusual hurricanelike storm of immune-system signaling proteins called cytokines, which signal the immune system to combat microbial invaders. Cytokines signaling to the immune system to fight disease is a good thing, but when cytokine levels are elevated for too long and their signaling becomes uncontrolled, they can hijack the body's immune system to turn against the body itself." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"Tara O'Toole of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's Center for Biosecurity, commenting on the avian flu threat. Speculating that 40 million Americans could die ?that's about one in eight ?she warned: "We must act now!" For the avian flu medical authorities are rushing to develop new unproven vaccines. Concerned that a resistance to Tamiflu's effects was growing, other drugs like Relenza were recommended for stockpiling.1 "We and the entire world remain unprepared for what could arguably be the most horrific disaster in modern history," said Dr. Gregory A." - Mark Sircus, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy (Get the book.)

"China, one of the largest importers of GMO corn, is also the birthplace of the H5N1 avian flu problem. This flu started in the digestive tract of wild birds and has been transferred to chickens. Infection always occurs initially in the digestive tract before spreading to the lungs. It intermingles with any GMO food the chicken is eating, increasing the chance for recombination. Avian flu viruses do not readily "see" human cells. They typically must go through a recombination process in pigs, whose cell receptors are more easily seen by avian viruses." - Byron J. Richards, Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America (Get the book.)

"Influenza Viruses and Governmental Fear Mongering: The "Avian Flu" Scare a Repackaged & Updated "Swine Flu"! Today's Influenza Vaccines Are NOT Effective! Based on the current published studies on influenza effectiveness and the CDC's actual reported "influenza" illness and mortality data during the period 1987-2000: • The current influenza vaccines are NOT effective for children two and under or adults over 65. • For all other groups, the current influenza vaccines are less than 50 percent effective in a good year and not effective in years where there is a "strain mismatch." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"We won't have a vaccine for avian flu for at least three years, so we need to isolate cases quickly. Our weapon in this battle is information—systems like the Global Public Health Information Network (GPHIN), which scans news sites from around the world, digesting content in seven languages, to detect illnesses that might be pandemics. We witnessed its efficacy in the speed with which the WHO managed to gain control over SARS. The response took place simultaneously and widely, thanks to networked communication and preparedness." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"Influenza Viruses and Governmental Fear Mongering: The "Avian Flu" Scare a Repackaged & Updated "Swine Flu"!" - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.) "Like the small contained "Avian flu" outbreaks occurring in China in 2004 and 2005, a small, contained "swine flu" outbreak (which the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC] investigated and confirmed had been caused by a swine-type influenza A virus) occurred in the U.S. in February of 1976 at Fort Dix in New Jersey. Like the current "sky is falling" reaction, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, as well as numerous medical experts, became concerned that a major flu epidemic was imminent for the coming fall." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"Poland of the Mayo Clinic speaking about the avian flu. "The key to our survival, in my opinion, and to the continuity of government is vaccination." And "we do not have a licensed or approved vaccine," continued Dr. Poland. Dr. J. Anthony Morris, former Chief Vaccine Control Officer for the FDA said, "There is no evidence that any influenza vaccine thus far developed is effective in preventing or mitigating any attack of influenza. The producers of these vaccines know that they are worthless, but they go on selling them, anyway." - Mark Sircus, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy (Get the book.)

"Influenza Viruses and Governmental Fear Mongering: The "Avian Flu" Scare a Repackaged & Updated "Swine Flu"! Next, the bird flu vaccine boondoggle." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"From there the faux news spread like avian flu to every chicken hawk in the West. But wait; maybe this extravaganza was performed outside the decorous sight of the military? Wrong again. Rendon was patted down, sniffed, and approved by the military. "We've worked in ninety-one countries," boasted the firm's boss, John Rendon. "Going all the way back to Panama, we've been involved in every war, with the exception of Somalia."6 Rendon didn't work alone, either. It coordinated its work with a whole bevy of wholesalers of disinformation." - William Bonner, Lila Rajiva, Mobs, Messiahs, and Markets: Surviving the Public Spectacle in Finance and Politics (Agora Series) (Get the book.)

"On the darker side of the subject, humans are increasingly susceptible to animal diseases, among them mad cow and avian flu." If that's the case, maybe we should not be eating fish with cancers, sexual abnormalities, and reproductive difficulties. Could these tumors and scars resulting from the chemicals of global warming be passed on to us? Some of the most basic chemicals of global warming are the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, or PAHs, which are produced by the incomplete combustion in the burning of fossil fuel, particularly coal and petroleum." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.)

"Given concerns over lurking epidemics such as avian flu, this is smart; given that innovations like these are the first steps in bringing first-class health care to all, this is worldchanging. sr Hi resource Institute for OneWorld Health http://www.oneworldhealth.org/ The only nonprofit pharmaceutical company in the world, the Institute for OneWorld Health works from the premise that "those of us with the ability to provide life-saving vaccines and medications to the world's least fortunate—and to conduct research and develop new medicines—should do everything we can." - Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.)

"A quick roll call of these new combatants is easily mustered in our longstanding struggle against contagion. avian flu, SARS, anthrax, monkey pox, and West Nile virus are all fresh enough that they make other relatively recent insurgents such as hantavirus, Lyme disease, multiple-drug-resistant TB, and even HIV seem like seasoned veterans. Emerging pathogens consume an ever-increasing amount of limited public health resources. The Centers for Disease Control have recently invested many millions of dollars in state-of-the-art command centers to track new outbreaks." - Paul D. Blanc, M.D., How Everyday Products Make People Sick: Toxins at Home and in the Workplace (Get the book.)

"This is especially important if we face a deadly avian flu pandemic. KNOW YOUR ENEMY Colds and flu are both caused by viruses. They are spread through the air by coughs and sneezes and through contact with contaminated objects, such as a doorknob or a hand that has been used to cover a cough. Flu viruses are much more powerful than typical cold viruses. Cold symptoms are mainly confined to the head, neck and chest. Flu causes more general symptoms—fever, body aches, nausea, cramping, vomiting and severe fatigue. Flu also can develop into bronchitis." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)

"These are unlikely to work against an emerging human avian flu strain. Drug resistance to the touted anti-flu drug oseltamivir has been reported and investigation is under way to determine just how widespread drug resistance is. But clinical data are spotty. And it's always possible that genetic re-assortment could produce a super strain that is invulnerable to any of our few remaining antiviral medications. Antiviral drugs are not the solution to a bird flu pandemic." - J. E. Williams, Beating the Flu: The Natural Prescription for Surviving Pandemic Influenza and Bird Flu (Get the book.) "Though avian flu is usually fatal to chickens, more than half the kimchi-fed birds survived. It may be the strong acids in fermented foods along with the medicinal value of garlic, onions, and red chili with their bug-busting properties that make kimchi a star among foods that beat the flu. Love it or loathe it, once you've tried it, you'll never forget the peppery taste and pungent smell of kimchi. You can buy it in Asian and health food stores. Use it like the Koreans do, as a side dish or garnish to spice up bland-tasting foods such as rice." - J. E. Williams, Beating the Flu: The Natural Prescription for Surviving Pandemic Influenza and Bird Flu (Get the book.) "It would be wise to stay clear of these birds during an avian flu pandemic. Watch out for super spreaders: Super spreaders are highly infectious individuals who pass on the disease to scores of others. Eleven Tips to Protect Yourself and Others from Infection 1. Wash your hands. 2. Blow your nose. 3. Clean your clothes. 4. Dispose of used cloths properly. 5. Wipe surfaces. 6. Don't rub your eyes. 7. Don't linger. 8. Don't become a germ spreader/Stay home. 9. Don't touch. 10. Wear a mask. 11. Wear cloves." - J. E. Williams, Beating the Flu: The Natural Prescription for Surviving Pandemic Influenza and Bird Flu (Get the book.) "The Chinese have a responsibility to cooperate with international health agencies more than they have in the past in order for the world to control avian flu at its source. But will they be willing to be more transparent when international trade is booming and the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing is close at hand? China consumes most of its poultry, but the numbers of domestic chickens and ducks are staggering. Despite the odds, in 2004, China adopted a policy of vaccinating all poultry against bird flu." - J. E. Williams, Beating the Flu: The Natural Prescription for Surviving Pandemic Influenza and Bird Flu (Get the book.)

"The H5N1 avian flu currently creating panic in the world has adapted a defense system wherein the "bullets" fired by the front-line immune troops of humans simply bounce off. Through the process of recombination this virus may soon learn to see human cells in a way that allows easy person-to-person transmission. Once this happens there will be trouble. The process of recombination is essentially how small organisms that do not contain a nucleus have learned to survive. When man is engineering recombined genes into food, he is experimenting with the toolbox of viruses and bacteria." - Byron J. Richards, Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America (Get the book.)

"New diseases with potential to become pandemic: SARs, avian flu, and a variety of microbes under observation. The Institute of Medicine maintains 20% of children in America will be obese by 2010. Since 1981, more than 25 million have died from AIDS and amFAR estimated 40 million currently are living with HIV or AIDs worldwide, 2.2 million of those are children under the age of 15. chapter two what's love got to do with it? Everything! There is one vibration in the Universe that is more powerful than any other. It is the transcendent quality of love, the highest frequency energy that exists." - Jackie Lapin, The Art of Conscious Creation: How You Can Transform the World (Get the book.)

"The most likely place for viral recombination that causes a widespread human infection with avian flu will be in the "petri dish" of the digestive tract of pigs. Cargill's big agribusiness hog farms in America are filthy production plants with unsanitary conditions and sick animals. These animals are typically on antibiotics, and the food produced in these facilities needs radiation to destroy possible food-borne disease coming from this type of animal production. What happens when these pigs are eating GMO food and the H5N1 virus finds its way to America?" - Byron J. Richards, Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America (Get the book.)

"On October 5, 2005 the New York Times reported that the deadly 1918 influenza pandemic was linked to the avian flu. Two teams of federal and university scientists announced that they had resurrected the 1918 influenza virus and found that it was actually a bird flu that jumped directly to humans. Democrats on Capitol Hill lodged their partisan complaints that the delay put Americans in jeopardy." - Mark Sircus, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy (Get the book.)

"When the avian flu first sprung up in 2004, WHO spokesman Dick Thompson told the media that there are "big holes in the global public health network" for monitoring the many animal diseases that have implications for humans. Public health leaders are even proposing a global monitoring system for emerging animal diseases that mirrors the WHO network for charting the continuing rise of novel human influenzas." - Elinor Levy, Mark Fischetti, The New Killer Diseases: How the Alarming Evolution of Germs Threatens Us All (Get the book.)
