"Should we take drugs to prevent getting the bird flu? No. If bird flu does change and become infectious to humans, the current treatments probably won't work, because the virus will have mutated and changed by that time. At last check there were no cases of bird flu in the U.S. or Europe. Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and Zele (Zanamivir) are used in the treatment of the influenza virus and are promoted as potentially useful agents for the prevention of bird flu." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"But given that emerging viruses are smart and SARS, another viral respiratory disease, spread via eating the meat from infected animals, it may be wise during a bird flu pandemic to avoid chicken soup and even eggs unless proven without a doubt to be safe. Instead, use vegetarian flu-fighters like umeboshi plums, kimchi, green onions, garlic, and ginger. Umeboshi Plums The word umeboshi in Japanese means "dried plum." In fact, these Asian delicacies are prepared by packing them in sea salt, so they are also called pickled plums." - J. E. Williams, Beating the Flu: The Natural Prescription for Surviving Pandemic Influenza and Bird Flu (Get the book.) "In 2004, H5N1 seed virus from a Vietnamese bird flu victim was distributed to research centers with the goal of creating a vaccine. Preliminary results from clinical trials indicate that the developed vaccine would be partially effective against avian influenza in humans. But no one knows what amount is needed to protect a human adult. Some studies suggest that it could take eight to ten times more than needed in a conventional flu vaccine. If this were the case, 20 million doses, the number the American government wants, would only yield two to three million effective doses." - J. E.

Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and Zele (Zanamivir) are used in the treatment of the influenza virus and are promoted as potentially useful agents for the prevention of bird flu. Tamiflu is taken as a pill twice a day for five days; Zanamivir is inhaled through a device, called a diskhaler, that delivers the medicine to the lungs." - J.

"Infected with bird flu, one Vietnamese boy died in a coma, days after he was infected, with an inflamed brain but with clear lungs. The World Health Organization (WHO) Global Influenza Preparedness Plan lays out six pandemic phases and recommendations for public health responses." - J. E.

"How Not to Worry Yourself Sick Marc Siegel, MD, associate professor of medicine, New York University School of Medicine, New York City, and author of False Alarm: The Truth About the Epidemic of Fear and Bird Flu: Everything You Need to Know About the Next Pandemic, both from Wiley. Being offered a regular flu shot doesn't seem to reassure my patients. bird flu is what worries them. bird flu is indeed a threat—it has shown itself to be a ruthless killer of birds, and it has prompted humans to slaughter millions of birds that could be infected." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)

"In addition, there are few clinical studies comparing flu symptoms to laboratory testing for influenza. Doctors agree that clinical findings identify patients with flu-like respiratory illness but are not particularly useful for confirming or excluding a specific diagnosis of influenza. These diagnostic discrepancies are not that important for ordinary flu, but during an outbreak become critical. To be prepared, clinicians should keep current with information from WHO and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to find out if influenza is circulating in their communities." - J. E. Williams, Beating the Flu: The Natural Prescription for Surviving Pandemic Influenza and Bird Flu (Get the book.)

Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and Zele (Zanamivir) are used in the treatment of the influenza virus and are promoted as potentially useful agents for the prevention of bird flu. Tamiflu is taken as a pill twice a day for five days; Zanamivir is inhaled through a device, called a diskhaler, that delivers the medicine to the lungs. These medications are neuraminidase inhibitors that prevent replication of influenza A and B viruses by interfering with the production and release of the virus from cells that line the respiratory tract." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE: CHANGING VIRUSES AND GLOBAL WARMING One can hardly talk about viruses in the twenty-first century without grappling with the emergence of a number of virulent new pathogens such as the H5N1 virus (avian or bird flu), West Nile virus, Ebola virus, and severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS. These new potential plagues tend to result, in part, from the global spread of industrialization, which pushes humans toward ever-closer contact with wildlife as we encroach into what were once solely wildlife habitats." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"The large-scale poultry operations in Asia that first developed bird flu were raising poultry; destined mainly for Europe, so the fears of bird flu in the European Union were much higher than in the Americas. The molecular biologists and industry spokespeople tried to ignore or trivialize the European public's fears and suspicions about high-technology foods and argued that the Biotech Century would unfold without serious environmental consequences to the planet." - Will Allen, The War on Bugs (Get the book.)

"Being offered a regular flu shot doesn't seem to reassure my patients. bird flu is what worries them. bird flu is indeed a threat—it has shown itself to be a ruthless killer of birds, and it has prompted humans to slaughter millions of birds that could be infected. But for people, the risk so far is close to zero for anyone except bird handlers in Southeast Asia. The virus has not killed many people worldwide, and it will not spread widely among humans unless there are several more mutations of its genetic material. Most of my patients understand all this." - Bottom Line Health, Bottom Line's Health Breakthroughs 2007 (Get the book.)

"Tamiflu Madness The antiviral drug Tamiflu (oseltamivir) is approved for treatment of the flu and has gained public attention because of the speculative hope that it might prove useful in the advent of a worldwide bird flu epidemic. The Japanese label for Tamiflu already warns that the drug can cause disturbances in consciousness, abnormal behavior, delirium, hallucinations, delusions, and convulsions.3 Belatedly, on November 14, 2006, the FDA and drug manufacturer Roche announced the need for an added warning in regard to Tamiflu inducing confusion and self-injury." - Peter Breggin, Medication Madness: A Psychiatrist Exposes the Dangers of Mood-Altering Medications (Get the book.)

"Infectious disease (flus, colds, bird flu) As is obvious from SARS and bird flu, infectious diseases are on the rise in the world. Beating infectious disease requires reducing the chance of infection as well as successfully combating any infection that might take hold and begin to multiply. In my opinion, the following products are far more powerful than even the most potent prescription drugs (or vaccinations) are protecting us from infectious disease." - Mike Adams, Natural Health Solutions (Get the book.)

"The Natural bird flu Cure "They" Don't Want You to Know About, by David J. Kennedy In this alarming investigation Nobel Prize-winning chemists and other top scientific minds share knowledge and facts about the inexpensive easily accessible cure that can stop this pandemic in its tracks. Published by Wellness Research Publishing. Available at www.natural cures.com. Politics in Healing, by Daniel Haley The suppression and manipulation in American healthcare.

"Magnesium chloride, when concentrated, is a powerful universal medicine that we can turn to in many clinical situations, including common influenza and the "dreaded" bird flu, especially when used in conjunction with vitamin C. This is an exciting medical discovery. The same pure natural substance used in emergency rooms to save people's lives has a dramatic effect on cell life and is safer to use than aspirin. Effective in a much broader sense than vitamin C, magnesium chloride is a medicine that helps doctors to fulfill their primary mission and purpose." - Mark Sircus, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy (Get the book.)

"It can be used as an effective non-drug treatment for herpes, immune disorders, colds and flus, and is even a potential cure for SARS and the Asian bird flu! I challenge the FTC, the FDA, or any other local, state, or federal regulator or law enforcement agency to come and arrest me for speaking such heresy. It is interesting to note and remember that people were put to death for saying such outrageous things such as the earth is round and not flat, bloodletting does not cure disease, or the sun does not revolve around the earth! This feels good and is liberating! Let me do it again. Dr." - Kevin Trudeau, More Natural Cures Revealed: Previously Censored Brand Name Products That Cure Disease (Get the book.)

"And today epidemiologists are worried that with the rapid spread of SARS and bird flu, another pandemic might be in the making. In response, we have to develop a way to combat those foreign invaders. Certainly, many infections today are fought with antibiotics or prevented with vaccines, but from an evolutionary perspective, we also had to figure out a way to get ourselves off that internal treadmill where bacteria was keeping us running in place. The answer? Sex. Sexual reproduction is crucial to keeping up with the constant cycle of one-upmanship between pathogens and you, their human hosts." - Mehmet C. Oz., M.D. and Michael F. Roizen, M.D., You: Staying Young: The Owner's Manual for Extending Your Warranty (Get the book.)

"New medications and fast-paced information technology undoubtedly afford us the capacity to confront new ailments, like looming pandemics of bird flu, providing that governments don't lie or cover up early reports. But what about cancer? Can modern medicine, with its reliance on finding and treating diseases one at a time, alter the ways that the disease presents itself? We know how to cure relatively rare cancers, like those of children. We have made spectacular advances against many forms of the disease. That's why in the U.S. alone, there are more than 10 million cancer survivors." - Devra Davis, The Secret History of the War on Cancer (Get the book.)

"A-Z index of health topics, although definitions do exist for bird flu, chronic fatigue syndrome, dog bites, dry cleaning, iron overload, lockjaw, mold, plaque, sex education, and swimmer's itch. When asked about the omission, a CDC health communications specialist explained that the agency just "looks at hypoglycemia as it relates to diabetes." Meanwhile, MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia, a service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health, states (on its website) that hypoglycemia only affects "approximately 1 out of every 1,000 people." - Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T.

"To name only a few: bird flu, the threat of a worldwide influenza pandemic, obesity, dis-eases like drug-resistant tuberculosis that are flown across national borders in just hours into a susceptible populace, mad cow disease, e-coli infections of green-leaf crops, serious dis-eases carried in processed meat (causing major recalls), carcasses of pets (euthanized because of dis-ease) recycled into pet food, uncertainties about irradiated food, cloned (bioengineered) plants and animals, gene mixing from one species to another, and on and on." - Tom Woloshyn, The Complete Master Cleanse: A Step-by-Step Guide to Maximizing the Benefits of The Lemonade Diet (Get the book.)

"Although the 1957 and 1968 flu viruses were in part bird flu viruses, they were not entirely bird viruses—and that was the secret of their success. If they had been bird viruses, they could not have entered human cells. Our cells lack the NeuAc-2,3Gal receptor, which is essential for allowing our infection by avian flu viruses. Swine, on the other hand, have this receptor for bird flu viruses. Not only that, they have the 2,6Gal receptor for human flu viruses. So pigs can become infected with both avian and human flu viruses. And we know that hog flu viruses can infect people." - Jaap Goudsmit M.D., Viral Fitness: The Next SARS and West Nile in the Making (Get the book.)

"The CDC cannot shed any light on the subject because it has its head stuck in the bird flu sand. The FDA offers nothing of real significance because it is too busy protecting the role of pharmaceutical companies' "franchise" in the treatment of disease. Unfortunately, their proprietary solutions most often involve attempts to cure by way of unnatural toxification, and not by the natural nourishing and strengthening the body. While patients in all age groups are affected by this strategy, children are most vulnerable. Dr. Teresa A." - Mark Sircus, Transdermal Magnesium Therapy (Get the book.)

"When Ho came of age, the gabby talk of independence was running through Europe's colonial possessions like an epidemic of bird flu. Locals who had been exposed to a little education were quickly infected and often succumbed. Ho Chi Minh was one of many thousands who got the bug. He had gone to Europe, where he heard Woodrow Wilson's airy song of freedom. It was just after World War I had ended. Paris had a habit of turning a young man's head. Ho's head swiveled around just like everyone else's. Soon, he had joined not only the Annamite Patriots league, but also the communist party." - William Bonner, Addison Wiggin, Empire of Debt: The Rise of an Epic Financial Crisis (Get the book.)

"Sudan and Ethiopia Record-setting wildfires around the globe Polar ice shelves breaking away and melting in days instead of eons Nearly 1,000 animals on the Endangered Species List are considered "threatened" The outbreak of AIDS, bird flu and a variety of primitive microbes and viruses that have yet to reveal their destructive power This is just the natural side of the balance sheet." - Jackie Lapin, The Art of Conscious Creation: How You Can Transform the World (Get the book.)
