In fact, I think it's a minor miracle that SARS did not become a global pandemic a few years ago. Once again, the WHO, the CDC and infectious disease experts deserve tremendous credit for identifying SARS and stopping its spread using what might only be called rather radical procedures or safeguards. Whether or not they will be able to catch the H5N1 influenza virus in time to stop the spread of that monster is entirely unknown. Remember: This isn't in the hands of scientists. |

It remains to be seen whether we'll respond by changing our diet or our culture and economy. Although an estimated 80 percent of cases of type 2 diabetes could be prevented by a change of diet and exercise, it looks like the smart money is instead on the creation of a vast new diabetes industry. |

Especially not if all the medical researchers only intended to help people, right? But as Smith's character says at one point in the movie, when talking about the loss of over 90 percent of the human beings on Earth, "God didn't do this. WE did."
Why I Am Legend Echoes a Dangerous Truth in Modern Medicine
I Am Legend should, I believe, serve as a doorway through which we can all ask ourselves very serious questions about modern medicine mucking around with human DNA. |

And guess what? The world's richest nations are certainly not going to be sending their limited supply of vaccines to poor nations around the world, regardless of where the original influenza samples came from. |

If it wasn't for some outstanding work by the CDC, the WHO and by countries like Canada, that disease would have become a global killer. It would have produced an extremely high body count.
SARS, revisited
Right now, the H5N1 bird flu virus is poised to follow in the footsteps of SARS. Hopefully, we've learned some lessons from SARS around the world. The statements we're hearing from the CDC and the WHO indicate we have learned these lessons the hard way. |

See article keywords and concepts |  It very nearly got out of control and became a global pandemic, so we had a narrow escape from that one. But even then, some things happened in the market in terms of what people purchased and what things were wiped out. 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. |

See book keywords and concepts |  On 5 June 1981, the first official report of what is now a global pandemic appeared in the weekly newsletter of the US Federal Centers for Disease Control. The report stated that a rare parasitic lung infection had shown up in Los Angeles in five young men. Moreover, all the men had an inexplicably depressed immune function. This date is now known as the start of the worst plague in modern history, AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome).
Before then, young men like Stewart Anderson had been diagnosed with what was known as Gay Syndrome, a mystery plague that mostly killed gay men. |

See article keywords and concepts |  The truth is that this virus is one mutation away from becoming a global pandemic that could kill tens of millions of people around the globe. And yet most people do nothing to prepare.
Do not be caught unprepared. Start preparing right now, even if it means just filling empty 2-liter bottles with water and storing those in a closet. Remember, you'll need 2 - 3 gallons of water PER DAY per person just to survive. How much water do you have stored right now?
The wrong thing to do is nothing. Do not let this "pre-panic" opportunity for calm preparedness slip by. Stay ahead of the crowd. | | The truth is that this virus is one mutation away from becoming a global pandemic that could kill tens of millions of people around the globe.

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. |

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) deserve tremendous credit for tracking contagious diseases and trying to warn nations to prepare for the coming influenza pandemic. But nations aren't listening. WHO warnings are being ignored. CDC advice isn't being given the attention it deserves. The politicians, essentially, aren't heeding the advice of these organizations. |

However, even that solution prompts a question: How do you actually stop people from entering the country? We can't even do it today. Nearly 4,000 illegal immigrants cross the border from Mexico into the United States every 24 hours. If that many people enter the country in the midst of a global flu pandemic, chances are that at least one or two of them will be infected with the flu. It only takes one or two, since it will then spread from one person to the next in families and communities. |

See article keywords and concepts |  By the time the global pandemic really starts to spread, you could find yourself with one of the strongest immune systems around. As other people are falling ill around you, you could end up sleeping off the entire infection in 24 hours, emerging as not only a survivor but an example of how to use disease prevention, nutrition and healthy lifestyle changes to survive one of the most vicious diseases the world has seen yet.
That's what I intend to do, by the way. My immune system function is so high that if I am offered a vaccine, I plan to refuse it. | | The good news in all of this is that if you start preparing now, by investing in your own good health and making permanent lifestyle changes, you should have extra time to get ready before this global pandemic is unleashed around the world. But even the World Health Organization doesn't know the exact timing of this, and that means it's impossible for you or me to predict it as well. So the smart play is to get healthy now. Educate yourself about how you can boost your immune system function, and then start taking action steps to move in that direction immediately. | | Start getting healthy right now
By the way, if you are currently engaged in lifestyle habits that suppress your immune system -- such as smoking, using recreational drugs, eating junk foods or fried foods, or consuming soft drinks on a regular basis -- these are habits that you will need to drop far ahead of time if you wish to have strong immune system function in time for a surprise global pandemic. You can't just stop consuming these products one day and expect your immune system function to surge back to full health the following day. | | After reviewing literally hundreds of these foods, vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplements, I have narrowed the list to a short selection of the most powerful supplements and antiviral products that can be used to survive the next global pandemic. These will be covered in detail in the book. One of the best foods you can eat, by the way, for its antiviral properties, is garlic. Research also suggest that if you consume shiitake mushrooms, ginger and garlic on a daily basis, your immune system function will be strongly enhanced, dramatically boosting your defense against any flu. | | And by boosting your immune system function, you greatly increase your defense against any infectious disease, including the next global pandemic viral strain. It doesn't mean that having a strong immune system will absolutely guarantee your survival, but remember that in every outbreak, there are people who survived the disease and people who don't. By and large, it is those with strong immune systems who are these survivors.
So how do you boost your immune system function and survived the coming flu pandemic? This is a topic I have researched at great length. |

See article keywords and concepts |  They may be on the high side, but even the World Health Organization now says the next global pandemic is overdue. Furthermore (and perhaps even more importantly), the world is not at all prepared to manufacture and distribute enough vaccines to protect the global population from the coming pandemic. Health officials can't even get flu shots distributed without creating a near-panic in the population. Imagine the fear and confusion that would be created by a killer virus: a flu pandemic. So what kind of viral strain is expected to strike the world next? |
