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.

And the nightmare diseases of the future are not the childhood killers that are almost eradicated—they're new pandemics like avian flu or SARS. 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.

Moreover, one doesn't need to possess a genetic predisposition to autoimmunity for the avian flu to unleash its autoimmune-like cytokine fire. 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.

We also know that oil of oregano, olive leaf extract and grapefruit seed extract can all kill the avian flu virus. We also just had reports that ginger actually will knock out the avian flu virus. So one of the things that I formulate is sort of a variation of a formula that Doc. Christopher called his Plague Formula. It's concentrated garlic extract -- 30 cloves of garlic -- and it's got tons of ginger and olive leaf extract in it. It was not designed for the avian flu; it was designed sort of like Doc. Christopher's formula for general flu and illness.

The antipathogens -- the things that are known to kill viruses in particular -- include garlic, and, interestingly enough, they have reports in Korea of people who basically kept their birds alive, even though avian flu is normally 100 percent fatal for birds, by feeding them kimchi, which is has a lot of garlic. Mike: Wow. Barron: Yeah. It's basically a sort of fermented cabbage and high-garlic food. We also know that oil of oregano, olive leaf extract and grapefruit seed extract can all kill the avian flu virus.

Stop the "avian flu" vaccine! Demand this obviously unsound "avian flu" vaccine program be stopped! Also, demand that: • The current ineffective influenza vaccination program should be stopped immediately! • The current antiviral "flu" drugs be stockpiled and used to treat those who contract any influenza virus! • An immediate program for developing better antiviral drugs for the influenza and other viruses that are currently being addressed by vaccines with serious side-effect risks!

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.

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.

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.

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.

The Autoimmune Epidemic Donna Jackson Nakazawa See book keywords and concepts

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.

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.

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?

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?

Similarly, H5N1 virus, or avian flu, is often the result of farmers and infected fowl crowding together in prime living space. Andrew Cunningham, a zoologist with the Zoological Society of London, recently raised a red flag about new viruses emerging from global encroachment into wildlife in an essay in the British medical journal BMJ, arguing that while this has probably happened many times in the past, such viruses failed to spread because those infected lived in remote enough areas that they either died or got well before they interacted with larger human populations.

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.

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.

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.

Influenza Viruses and Governmental Fear Mongering: The "Avian Flu" Scare a Repackaged & Updated "Swine Flu"! Next, the bird flu vaccine boondoggle.

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.

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.

Demand this obviously unsound "avian flu" vaccine program be stopped! Also, demand that: • The current ineffective influenza vaccination program should be stopped immediately! • The current antiviral "flu" drugs be stockpiled and used to treat those who contract any influenza virus! • An immediate program for developing better antiviral drugs for the influenza and other viruses that are currently being addressed by vaccines with serious side-effect risks!

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.

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.

Further testing of blood samples of Zhou confirms she died of complications arising from the H5N1 avian flu strain. This brings the total number of bird flu related fatalities for December 2005 to six; the worst since March 2005, when seven people died. Dec. 29, 2005 – China announces its seventh human case of bird flu and its third fatality. Jan. 1, 2006 – A 14-year-old boy named Mehmet Ali Kocyigit, from Dogubeyazit, Turkey, dies, but health officials say bird flu was not the cause, instead attributing the death to pnuemonia. Jan.

Another really great herb I want to mention is a Native American herb, and it's traditionally been used successfully against avian flu bacteria and viruses before, and that is the lomatium herb, and that is a wonderful herb to have. You can find that if you buzz around on the internet. On the 'net, you can get bulk herbs, like a pound of lomatium, for about $30.00. I mean, that's enough for your whole neighborhood. Mike: Yes, that's a lot of herbage right there.
