 "Are we all about to succumb to a global bird flu pandemic? Not likely. Bird flu is transmitted from birds to birds, not birds to people. Only in extremely rare instances have humans become infected with the bird flu, and there is no reason to believe that that will change.
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."- J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.) |
 "After SARS in 2003, the 2004 tsunami in the South Pacific, and two of the worst hurricane years in history (2004 and 2005), the world prepared for the worst—a bird flu pandemic.
What's the Bird Flu?
Bird flu is a type of avian influenza (H5N1 avian influenza A) that infects domestic birds such as chickens, ducks, and turkeys. The reservoir for the virus is in the intestines of wild birds, including migratory waterfowl such as ducks, geese, and swans."- J. E. Williams, Beating the Flu: The Natural Prescription for Surviving Pandemic Influenza and Bird Flu (Get the book.) "It's unlikely, even as governments attempt to prevent mass panic, that the first devastating scenes of a bird flu pandemic won't be televised. In early 2006, the biochemical and genetic signals were there for a pandemic explosion, with the bird flu able to infect humans as well as birds. The flu hit Iraq hard and moved into Africa. More than 90 people were confirmed dead from the bird flu and 180 million birds were killed by the virus or slaughtered to prevent spread of infection. It was moving faster than expected and showed up in France in February." - J. E. Williams, Beating the Flu: The Natural Prescription for Surviving Pandemic Influenza and Bird Flu (Get the book.) "Unfortunately, quarantine is unlikely to work for a bird flu pandemic because the base of infection is worldwide and illness may spring up in multiple locations simultaneously. Isolation Avoidance, isolation of the most severe cases, rapid identification of super spreaders, and social distancing are more realistic approaches than mass quarantine to slowing the spread of a pandemic. Sick people, either at home or in the hospital, should be kept apart from healthy people. Disease is spread faster when sick people are clustered in wards." - J. E. Williams, Beating the Flu: The Natural Prescription for Surviving Pandemic Influenza and Bird Flu (Get the book.) "Given its lack of effectiveness in the treatment of SARS and its high side-effect profile, it's an unlikely candidate for use during a bird flu pandemic. Amantadine (Symmetrel) and rimantadine (Flumadine): Once helpful for ordinary influenza, these antiviral drugs are no longer considered useful. The problem with them is that the virus quickly adapts and they become ineffective. They are also toxic to the body. Of the two, amantadine is the more effective, especially if you haven't been vaccinated against the flu. Common side effects include nausea, constipation, and loss of appetite." - J. E.
