 For a child's healthy immune system to mature fully and properly in our less-than-perfect environment, it may be necessary to occasionally contract an infectious disease such as the measles, chickenpox, and mumps. We all have to learn to trust nature and our body more than man-made theories and practices. Human DNA has managed to survive millions of years on the planet and it certainly knows how to deal with a few harmless infectious diseases, particularly when they help to strengthen our immune system. |

 We are, after all, in a "food bubble" right now.
Why infectious disease? Because only balanced, healthy ecosystems keep infectious disease at bay. When ecosystems are disrupted, they become breeding grounds for infectious pathogens. Those pathogens spread quickly through non-natural animal production facilities (bird farms, cattle ranches, fish farming ponds, etc.), accelerating the mutation rate and greatly increasing the chance of cross-species infections that can then be spread by human-to-human contact. |

 Beating infectious disease with herbal ingredients
Power Immune is extremely effective at protecting you from infectious disease. I've had the chance to test this twice on myself after picking up a bug at the local gym. Engaging in a heavy workout in an enclosed environment creates an easy opportunity for acquiring colds or flus. You're sweaty, breathing heavily and exhausted. Your immune system is suppressed from all the exertion. That's when a bug gets in and starts to replicate. |

 Shouldn't kids be protected against infectious disease?
There are many doctors who continue to argue in favor of mass vaccination programs. The point of these programs, they say, is to protect children and "save lives" from infectious disease. So why shouldn't we listen to the doctors on all this? Because they completely fail to recognize these crucial facts about vaccines and children's health:
1) Many of the vaccines being administered today are designed to prevent non-lethal infections like Chicken Pox. |

 The belief that vaccinations, like flu shots, have eliminated death from infectious disease in the twentieth century is widespread. In fact, much of the reduction in death from infectious disease is due to public-health measures, including improved nutrition and sanitation. And vaccinations are not without potential danger. We still don't know the potential long-term effects of vaccination.
An oft-repeated fact is that 36,000 people die each year from the flu. The government urges citizens to get vaccinated, presumably to prevent these deaths. |

 Worried about your child getting an infectious disease? Inject your children with multiple vaccines. It will protect them from infectious disease and may, in fact, protect them from oral sex! (At least that's what Merck claims.) Besides, there's nothing wrong with a little mercury, right? Result: Unknown. It's a great medical experiment now being conducted on the children of America. It's backed by idiot doctors and gun-toting law enforcement personnel who are ready to arrest parents who resist the vaccination mandates.

| Beyond infectious disease: nutrition and metabolic disorders
Of course, there can also be pests and infections in plants. In human populations, that's like contracting an infectious disease. But realize that the vast majority of conventional medicine that is practiced today is focused on metabolic disorders, not infectious diseases. In fact, the leading causes of death in America are all nutritionally related disorders: cancer, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, strokes, and so on.
None of these diseases are infectious agents. |

PRECAUTIONS AND ADVERSE REACTIONS
The drug is highly toxic when freshly-harvested. The toxicity of the drug declines rapidly with dehydration and in storage, because of the instability of the cucurbitacins. Due to the cucurbitacin content, the drug has a severely irritating effect on skin and mucuous membranes. Contact between skin and the juice of the plant can lead to rash, infection, blister formation and necroses. |

 A whopping twenty-five percent of your genetic code, for example, is dedicated solely to fighting off infectious disease.
Don't be a victim of your beliefs. 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. |

 It's similar to saying that there is no such thing as infectious disease because we can't see any germs (which was once the official position of science-based medicine). Of course, once the microscope was invented, germs could be seen, and the acceptance of the scientific validity of infectious disease soon followed.
Some day, there will be instruments that can measure the vibrational nature, or what is called the "memory," of water. |

 Go to an infectious disease specialist if your illness is characterized mostly by a fever, a sore throat, and swollen glands; to a rheumatologist if your illness is characterized mostly by achy muscles and joints; or to a gastroenterologist if your illness is characterized mostly by stomach pain with constipation or diarrhea. If you suffer from chronic pain, go to a pain management center. |
| As mentioned earlier in this chapter, the specialist may tell you that your illness does not have a known medical cause and that you have a clinical syndrome. An infectious disease expert may diagnose chronic fatigue syndrome or its less severe counterpart, idiopathic chronic fatigue. A rheumatologist may diagnose fibromyalgia, and a gastroenterologist may diagnose irritable bowel syndrome. Even if the specialist diagnoses one of these syndromes, he or she may not be trained to help you deal with the symptoms that they cause. |
| Although the infectious disease specialist will do a complete evaluation, including all the blood tests listed in chapter 2, he or she may rule out the possibility of an infection if your temperature chart is normal and blood tests also show no abnormalities. The specialist has gone through a diagnostic algorithm and has come up shorthanded. But one can diagnose chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) or its less severe counterpart, idiopathic chronic fatigue (ICF), without any such abnormalities. |
| Your illness began with an infection and your symptoms appear to be those of someone with a chronic infection, so your doctor may choose to send you to an infectious disease expert.
When you see this type of specialist, be sure to tell him or her about all of your symptoms, including malaise, throat pain, swollen glands, and a fever. If you have had a fever (an oral or ear temperature exceeding 100 degrees), chart your temperature over the course of several days or weeks—however long your fever persists. |

 As a result of the discovery and use of antibiotics in the war against infectious disease, our philosophy in medicine has become: attack disease.
The medical community has carried this aggressive attitude and approach into the twenty-first century in the attempt to treat all the various chronic degenerative diseases. A study estimates that in 1997, pharmacies filled more than 2.5 billion retail prescriptions in the United States alone. The sale of prescription drugs has more than doubled in just the past eight years!1
In 1990 Americans spent $37.7 billion on prescriptions. |

| Fighting infectious disease: This is the most common use of the product -- fighting symptoms of colds or flus. As I described earlier, any time I begin to feel such symptoms, I take several droppers full of Power Immune (along with other nutrients) to quickly overcome the cold symptoms.
Defense against pandemics: This is perhaps the most important reason why every household should have at least 3 bottles of Power Immune right now -- the threat of a coming pandemic. The bird flu, for example, hasn't disappeared or been conquered. It just hasn't mutated into a human form yet. |

 Vaccines: a channel for spreading infectious disease?
This kind of behavior is a good demonstration of why I don't trust companies that are replicating and distributing these dangerous infectious agents. This is why I don't trust vaccine companies at all. I never get vaccinated, and I don't recommend vaccination for anybody. I think the science behind vaccinations is bad. The mercury content of vaccines is toxic. There is a clear link to autism in children, and I think that a lot of vaccines have been contaminated with various strains of infectious disease over the years. |

 In the history of infectious disease, especially in Africa, we've seen a trend: At some point, the hospital staff says, "Forget this -- I'm outta here!" Then they flee the hospitals, often taking the virus with them (because they've been infected). They flee into the forest. This is actually, from a bigger-picture point of view, a good strategy to protect human life. When they're off in isolation, those infected people cannot infect other hospital staff or other patients.
Even in modern times, infectious diseases spread rapidly in hospitals. |

 Above all, he would have learned that it was interfering with government-led efforts to control the epidemic spread of infectious disease by educating the Chinese people in modern germ theory.54
What changed everything was the 1949 Communist revolution, spearheaded by Mao Tse-Tung. Initially, Mao had taken the same scornful view of traditional medical practitioners as the republican government, at one point famously comparing them to "circus entertainers, snake oil salesmen, and street hawkers"—a comment that ended up in Mao's Little Red Book, read by millions of Chinese. |

| When infectious disease ultimately strikes the world again, you can bet that products like this will be wiped out of stock within days. It's important to prepare ahead of time so you're ready when the stuff hits the fan.
The only thing better than stocking up on these herbal products, by the way, is growing the herbs yourself. And I recommend you do that. Fresh herbs right out of the garden are always superior to anything in a bottle, so if you have a way to grow these anti-viral herbs year-round, that's the best strategy of all. The next best thing is a tincture like this one. |

 The vitamin C in green tea prevents scurvy, and tea's polyphenols boost the body's immune function so that it can better fight infectious disease.
By the 1630s, each Dutch vessel returning to Europe from China routinely carried several large pottery jars of tea. Accordingly, there are records of people drinking tea in Amsterdam, London, and Paris as early as 1635. A Dutch physician, Cornelius Bontekoe, even advised everyone to drink eight to ten cups of tea daily, adding that he saw no reason not to drink as many as a hundred cups daily. |
| Cholera is an acute infectious disease of the small intestine caused by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae; it is characterized by profuse watery diarrhea, vomiting, muscle cramps, severe dehydration, and depletion of electrolytes, and it may lead rapidly to death.
Japanese researchers, supported by the Japanese Cholera Panel of the United States-Japan Cooperative Medical Science Program, took a closer look at the bacteria-fighting effects of green tea extract in experiments conducted on animals. |

 Moreover, in the wake of the bacteriological revolution of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century and the decline of infectious disease, chronic and degenerative diseases—conditions characterized by long-term morbidity and often pain, rather than acute disease and sudden death—emerged as the major objects of medical interventions. And it is in relation to precisely these conditions that alternative medicine has returned to the forefront of medical culture. |

 By understanding how the organisms that cause infectious disease have evolved among us, next to us, and inside us—affecting their evolution even as they affect ours—we gain new insight into how those diseases influence us, and into how they can be controlled for our benefit. Already, that understanding is giving us the opportunity to interrupt the transmission channel of horrible afflictions like the Guinea worm. And it suggests powerful ways to change the course of diseases—like cholera and malaria—that have plagued humankind for longer than there has been a history to record it. |

Is prostate cancer an infectious disease?
It has recently been shown that men with no symptoms of prostatitis, but with an elevated PSA, will experience a decline in PSA after a 2-4 week course of antibiotics. A significant number (20-30%) of men will avoid subsequent biopsies by undergoing a course of antibiotic therapy prior to biopsy. [Recenti Progress Medicine 96: 365-69, 2005]
This finding suggests underlying infection may be a cause of elevated PSA in many males. |

 When I say our global medical community is clueless about battling infectious disease, I'm talking about everyday doctors who are still handing out antibiotics like candy (and who still don't understand the important role of probiotics and friendly flora in fighting infectious disease).
That's why, if the pandemic strikes, I'll be especially careful to avoid contact with medical personnel (who are far more likely to be infected). Instead, I'll start munching away on my antiviral plants, foods, herbs and medicines. |

| Throughout the early period of research on stress and disease, there seemed to be no obvious way in which stress could play any role in a person's susceptibility to, or recovery from, an infectious disease. What allowed a person to fight off infection was his or her immune system—a highly sophisticated biochemical and cellular defense system capable of recognizing and then protecting the body from a range of "foreign invaders" (bacteria or viruses). |
