Avian flu is passed on from direct contact with infected birds and from people who have the virus. This means there was a way to control its spread - kill the infected birds and isolate contaminated people.
But all this has gone out the window with a discovery in Java, Indonesia. A molecular biology researcher, C.A. Nidom, has found a virulent strain of avian flu that can jump from birds to pigs.
What's so disturbing about that, you ask?
A lot. Pigs are genetically similar to humans. They've already been found to carry human varieties of flu. It's a greater leap to pass on a flu from birds to pigs than from pigs to humans.
But there's
more:
Viruses mutate in humans. They change quickly enough so that a vaccine, or treatment, that works on one variety doesn't work on
another variety. Any virus in pigs can mutate just as easily, making it next to impossible to find a workable vaccine for people. Each mutation is more difficult to control. These viruses are fighting to stay alive.
While scientists rush to develop a vaccine that will protect us
from the next pandemic, which many predict is just around the corner, this is the time to look at everything we can do for ourselves. One thing we can do is to
strengthen our immune
systems so they can fight any virus - even a strong strain like the one that's predicted.
Some people find that the herb
echinacea works for them. Others prefer large doses of
vitamin
C. The real issue is to start with a perfect diet,
a positive attitude a great all around life style and use all the
immun-regulating nutrients that work for you.
Dear Friends,
Remember that during the great pandemics of the past there were people who never succumbed.
These were people who had genetic superior immune resources.
I maintain that all of us, with the technology at our disposal, are capable of upgrading our immune-system.
At our center we have used many protocols that are capable of dealing with severe viral infections and are canvassing the international medical world's arena to study what is available to protect ourselves and our patients.
If the aviary flue arrives we will be ready to
meet its challenge head on.
I believe that
animal
fetal and stem cells can rejuvenate the immune system and give it more fighting power.
Since I practice what I preach, I will go to Munich this fall to receive my yearly boost and prepare to face any challenge.
For more info on this and other ways to upgrade your immune-system,
read my comprehensive book "The Ageless
Woman" which covers issues pertaining to every body, man, women and children
Remember what I always used to say on my radio
broadcast:
Knowledge is power.
In good health.
