New antiviral bird flu product hits the market, receives Health Ranger's independent recommendation Mike Adams, the Health Ranger See article keywords and concepts

And the really smart folks have realized that tamiflu is a one-dimensional drug in the first place, and that the bird flu could easily mutate to be completely immune to tamiflu. As Dr. David Butler-Jones, Canada's chief public health officer, said, "Quite honestly, nobody knows at this point whether tamiflu will be effective at all when we face a pandemic. We may have wasted the money that we bought all this tamiflu for." People are suddenly clamoring for natural antiviral products. They want to know what they can buy right now to prepare.

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.

Tamiflu for just 10 days. You would need three billion doses of tamiflu stockpiled, just to cover the entire U.S. population for a period of 10 days. Now of course, 10 days isn't long enough, this virus could be around for 10 months. The U.S. isn't stockpiling anywhere near 3 billion doses of tamiflu -- not even anything close to that. This antiviral prescription drug will be rationed. It will be held back from everyone but senior citizens, people lucky enough to have the right doctor or those who have the right amount of money to buy it on the underground market.

Right now, the only thing that countries can stockpile is antiviral drugs such as tamiflu. And, by the way, tamiflu is anti-viral, but even it is not nearly as strong as the combination of antiviral herbs and various nutritional supplements as outlined in my free downloadable book called "How To Beat The Bird Flu Virus." So even though these countries are stockpiling tamiflu, people would actually be far better protected by acquiring potent antiviral herbs, minerals and supplements as a protection against the bird flu virus.

It's not rocket science, and you don't have to wait in line for tamiflu or a flu vaccine (although if you can actually get your hands on tamiflu or a suitable vaccine, it may very well be a wise decision to go ahead and use them in addition to the other things you're preparing). We have far better information today than our ancestors did during the 1918 pandemic that killed twenty million people. They didn't have a clue what to use, and there wasn't an internet to teach them. But today, you have access to the most amazing healing plants and natural therapies in the world.

Expand your mind and be open to additional ideas beyond tamiflu and vaccinations. By doing so, you will greatly improve your ability to survive any infectious disease outbreak. This doesn't mean you should avoid using tamiflu or other anti-viral drugs if you're fortunate enough to have access to them, but it does mean you shouldn't limit your thinking to only those drugs. Think beyond the drugs to give yourself the best defense possible.

Also, tamiflu isn't necessarily effective against the H5N1 bird flu virus. It wasn't designed for that. It's been around for a long time as a basic antiviral drug, but in my research I've found that there are many other antiviral herbs and substances that are far more powerful than tamiflu, that don't require a prescription and are much more affordable. For example, I did a report on a product from Baseline Nutritionals called Super Viragon. It's made of powerful antiviral herbs.

Official strategy #2: Stockpile tamiflu, a drug that will have its entire global inventory wiped out in a matter of days following an outbreak. tamiflu isn't even being shipped to the U.S. now, thanks to bulk drug importers who are hoarding available supplies. Official strategy #3: Tell people not to worry. Don't sweat it. We've got you covered. As much as 30% of the U.S. population might be infected, but don't worry. We're from the government, and we're here to help.

There's even a downloadable free report, listing 12 potent antiviral foods, herbs and nutritional supplements that, based on my research, are far more powerful than tamiflu. They work in ways less likely to be obsolete, even if the virus mutates. Even if the H5N1 mutates into something resistant to tamiflu, it's highly unlikely it will be resistant to these 12 antiviral herbs. In fact, right now, I could go out into my garden and I pick at least five or six, probably a dozen, different plants with potent, strong antiviral capabilities.

No studies had been conducted to compare tamiflu with mother's chicken soup, which is also reported to diminish intensity, discomfort and duration of the flu. However, the efficacy of the CDC's claim was taken as the gospel truth. This creates a demand for the drug, much to the delight of its manufacturer and its shareholders, but also creates a shortage, and panic, all of which are stress inducers, which further compromises the health of those who believe the drug is their only protection and salvation.

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.

The caution on pregnant women, or those considering becoming pregnant, should serve to turn away a good deal of the population thinking of using tamiflu. If it is too toxic for mother and fetus, it is too toxic for you. "Are we prepared today? Clearly no," said Dr. Hayden of the University of Virginia Health Science Center. From personal medicine cabinets to the White House, the focus recently is on a killer flu epidemic that is going to hit like a huge asteroid.

Yet another campaign, this one for the antiviral drug tamiflu, targeted children by showing the tap-dancing penguins from the movie Happy Feet. There is a kind of madness in it. The drug companies pay hundreds of millions of dollars in government fines for promoting their products illegally and hundreds of millions of dollars more to the families of the victims who suffered or died, then raise their prices and promote their products even harder.

And those who say they're stockpiling tamiflu can't possibly have enough tamiflu to treat any reasonable percentage of the population for very long. They would run out in less than a month, leaving everybody on their own. So, as usual, when it comes to your health, you can forget getting any good information from public sources.

If the vaccines are not up to standard, then immunization to the virus will not be uniform or effective. This could bring huge losses.

Tamiflu -- not even anything close to that. This antiviral prescription drug will be rationed. It will be held back from everyone but senior citizens, people lucky enough to have the right doctor or those who have the right amount of money to buy it on the underground market. Basically, it will be available to certain selected people. We have no idea how those people are going to be selected, but it's not going to be available for everybody who needs it, if anybody needs it.

If there's a pandemic, you can just line up at the end of the line because there's going to be a whole nation of people lining up in front of you, trying to get their hands on some of this tamiflu. Right now, in the summer of 2005, the big picture is that the bird flu virus is not yet a huge threat, but it could become a very big threat, a very real threat. If and when it does, you can bet that hospital facilities will not be available in sufficient quantities, and antiviral drugs and bird flu vaccines will not be available.
