As a result, they may take their beliefs with them to the grave, because they were too narrow-minded, too dogmatic and too ignorant to open their minds to the possibility that surviving the bird flu is easier than you think, and that the human body was actually programmed to conquer infectious disease. | | And a bird flu pandemic could be nothing short of a financial windfall for these companies.
Antibiotics don't work, either
What about antibiotics? As any doctor will tell you, antibiotics only work on bacteria, molds and fungi, not viruses. In fact, antibiotics are going to do you far more harm than good, because they are not going to prevent the virus, but they are going to destroy your healthy intestinal flora, and that's going to upset your entire digestive system. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Make no mistake: Drug companies see a bird flu pandemic as nothing more than a profit opportunity, and they will intimidate, threaten and cajole anyone who stands in the way of more profits. Right now, Indonesia is being targeted for daring to stand up against the greed and corruption of western drug companies, and the U.S. press is going right along with the deception, as usual, by refusing to ask critical questions about why Indonesia needs to protect itself from Big Pharma exploitation. |

See book keywords and concepts |  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. |

Now certainly, the bird flu gives you a good reason to be healthy. It's not really necessary though; you can decide to do this anyway.
If you do pursue this health path, if you're not doing it already, then you will have nothing but positive side effects from it. So what if the bird flu doesn't hit? Hopefully it won't. Hopefully, no one will suffer from this. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Now, the World Health Organization continues to warn nations and health authorities around the world about this bird flu pandemic, and the Centers for Disease Control in the United States is warning about this, too. There are big warnings – warnings that say things like, "This is the single greatest threat to humanity today." I've heard people from the CDC say things like, "This is the most frightening virus I have ever seen." This is a bad virus, this H5N1. If this gets out, that's the only news you're going to hear for about a year as the deaths begin mounting. | | Things disappeared off the shelves then that indicate what you should be doing right now to prepare for bird flu pandemic. So, we can learn some lessons from SARS – big lessons, in fact – that can help us survive the coming pandemic if it emerges as many world health authorities think it will.
For those who aren’t that familiar with the bird flu virus – where it comes from and how it operates – let me give you the short version. Basically, this is a virus that is undergoing a mutation. | | First, we’ve got to talk about why to prepare for the bird flu pandemic. And I’m not saying that you necessarily should; it’s completely your choice, because this is not a sure thing this year. We don’t know the timeline – nobody does – but what scientists around the world, and microbiologists especially, do know for sure is that a pandemic is coming. In fact, we have seen the emergence of infectious disease at an unprecedented rate recently. We had a narrow escape from the influenza virus SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) a few years ago. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Incredibly, the WHO predictions about a bird flu pandemic may actually be the good news. A Russian scientist, Dr. Dmitry Lvov, head of the Ivanovsky Virology Institute, estimates that this particular strain of the flu is so aggressive and deadly that as many as one billion people around the world could die from it. He estimates that in the United States alone, we could be looking at 700,000 dead. Granted, his estimates seem ridiculously high, but this man is no stranger to infectious disease. In any case, it does give you an indication of the potential seriousness of this next global outbreak. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Does it absolutely guarantee it will protect you from the bird flu pandemic? Of course not. There are no such guarantees. But the White House isn't offering any guarantees either, and the truth is that the more you teach yourself and the more you prepare, the better your odds of beating the bird flu if it strikes. |
Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts |  I don't want this to be a scary segment or anything, but the fact is that if this becomes a global pandemic, the kill rate of the virus will drop to something probably around 1 or 2 percent, which means that all you have to do to survive the bird flu pandemic is be healthier than 2 percent of the population.
Wolfe: Let's say the bird flu comes into your neighborhood or city or wherever you're at, and you start on the garlic, the echinacea, the lomatium, the reishi and the astragalus. You have all the superfoods, like the great vegetables and fruits. |

See article keywords and concepts | | Forget about antiviral prescription drugs
If there is a bird flu pandemic, there are some antiviral prescription drugs that might help, such as Tamiflu. Tamiflu definitely has antiviral properties, although I would argue that many medicinal herbs and antiviral nutritional supplements are far more powerful. However, governments say they're going to have some Tamiflu sitting around, just in case there's a pandemic.
Does that make you any safer? Again, no, it does not. Why? The virus has already mutated into a form resistant to Tamiflu, according to some infectious disease experts. | | Here's why:
Inadequate medical facilities
First off, there are not enough hospital facilities in any country, not even developed countries, to handle the massive influx of patients expected from a bird flu pandemic. If this thing gets out and starts infecting a percentage of the population, health authorities are basically going to start turning away patients at medical facilities. They will have to.
They'll say, "Go home -- we cannot treat you here. We can only treat the most critical patients." If you're critical with the bird flu, your chances are very, very slim of surviving it. |

See article keywords and concepts |  A lot of people ask me, "So what should I do to prepare for the bird flu pandemic? What's reasonable versus overreacting?" To answer that, let's take a look at the behavior of the general population. Most people will do nothing to prepare until it becomes a problem in their local area. When USA Today or CNN starts warning people about the virus and people start seeing their friends or coworkers die from it, then they will suddenly realize that they need to take some action. At that point, of course, it will be too late. |

See article keywords and concepts | | REPPED: I've been writing about the coming bird flu pandemic for a year, but most people are just now waking up to this news. And they're scared. Smart folks have done the math and figured out that no government can possibly cover everyone with vaccines and antiviral drugs like Tamiflu. 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. |

See article keywords and concepts | | That means if you're going to prepare for the bird flu pandemic, you have to do so ahead of time. One of the smartest things you can do to prepare is to improve your health right now. A strong immune system will help defend against the bird flu virus. And if you want a strong immune system, you've got to stop poisoning your body right now through foods, prescription drugs, environmental toxins and chronic stress.
If you wait for the virus to hit, it's going to be too late. You can't reform your immune system in 24 hours. |

See article keywords and concepts | | Do you think this bird flu pandemic rises out of how we treat chickens and animals, the way we raise them in cages and deny them sunlight, air and good nutrition? Is that a fair statement?
Wolfe: I would say that's a fair statement. I look at it as karma, and the old Sanskrit understanding of that word. Karma means what you give is what you get, and we have to be very, very careful, especially about poultry products, because the bird flu can be passed from chickens to humans. That's what it's looking like right now. | | Mike: For those preparing for a bird flu pandemic or even another hurricane or earthquake, wouldn't it be better to eat these superfoods? Remember, David, after hurricane Katrina, people were scavenging for food, and what were they getting? Doritos, Hostess Twinkies and Gatorade. That's what they were finding available. That's not what you want to live on.
Wolfe: Right, that's food that causes starvation. That food actually robs you of more energy and life force than it's giving. | | Do you think this bird flu pandemic rises out of how we treat chickens and animals, the way we raise them in cages and deny them sunlight, air and good nutrition?

See article keywords and concepts |  For those of you who have been paying attention to the coming bird flu pandemic, it is time to prepare now, before this becomes a human disease, and before the other 98 percent of the country wakes up and suddenly realizes that they'd better do something about it.
You can rest assured that, when this 98 percent wakes up and tries to take action, whatever it is that they're attempting to buy will not be available. Antiviral herbs, medications and preparedness products will all be wiped out if that large a percentage of the population decides to do something at the same time. |

See article keywords and concepts |  REPPED: If a bird flu pandemic strikes the nations of the world, there is going to be a great deal of pressure put on the medical community to provide solutions, yet the conventional medical system is going to fail. It's going to implode because it will have no answers. There is no antibiotic that kills influenza. There will be limited vaccines available for the general population. Conventional medicine may ultimately find itself standing on the sidelines, helpless, as millions of people literally drop dead from the next global pandemic. | | This may or may not be a factor in a bird flu pandemic, but it's worth noting.
Flu shots create dependence
This is why, to put it bluntly, flu shots create a cascading pattern of dependence. Once you start taking them, you need more and more flu shots for the rest of your life as your immune system gets weaker and weaker.
Phyllis A. Balch, one of the best-known authors on herbs and health, says, "We do not recommend flu shots in general. Their usefulness is questionable and the side effects may be worse than the flu. | | People who rely on the government to provide flu shots as their sole source of defense against a possible bird flu pandemic may ultimately be risking their lives on misplaced faith.
Don't rely on the government to protect you. Educate yourself now, and stock up on the real anti-viral medicines that are far more effective than any flu shot. |

The failure of modern medicine
If a bird flu pandemic strikes, not only will anti-viral medicines be in short supply, they may not even work.
"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."
