President Bush's bird flu plan fails
to teach people how to really protect themselves from a global
pandemic
Posted Tuesday, November 01, 2005 by Mike Adams for

President Bush has finally announced to the nation that
we are faced with a "...potentially devastating outbreak
of infectious disease." We're talking about the bird
flu, of course. And the big story on bird flu is simply this:
your government cannot protect you from it.
Our President said as much in the November 1, 2005 statement
from the White House: "While your government will do
much to prepare for a pandemic, individual action and individual
responsibility are necessary for the success of any measures.
Not only should you take action to protect yourself and your
families, you should also take action to prevent the spread
of influenza if you or anyone in your family becomes ill."
This is the White House talking, mind you, using phrases
like, "... these new strains have the potential to sweep
the globe, causing millions of illnesses, in what is called
a pandemic." The official report, entitled National Strategy
for Pandemic Influenza, goes on to say, "A pandemic,
or worldwide outbreak of a new influenza virus, could... overwhelm
our health and medical capabilities, potentially resulting
in hundreds of thousands of deaths, millions of hospitalizations,
and hundreds of billions of dollars in direct and indirect
costs."
Too bad the White House never tells you what to do about
it. The official response to bird flu, from virtually every
government in the world, is all but useless. Here's the truth
about what your government is doing to NOT protect you from
this potential devastating epidemic:
Official strategy #1: Hope to manufacture a vaccine that
takes three years to produce in quantity. Here's a strategy
that just makes no sense at all. Let's ramp up production
of a vaccine for an unknown strain of H5N1 influenza and try
to stockpile it in sufficient numbers so that some small percentage
of the population might someday be protected. Of course, it
takes three years to manufacture that much vaccine, and it
only takes a few months for the virus to actually spread globally.
And plus, the virus can mutate again, rendering any "official"
vaccine useless. Virologists at the Centers for Disease Control
(CDC) know this all too well, but this isn't really being
explained to the public.
Official strategy #2: Stockpile Tamiflu, a drug that will
have its entire global inventory wiped out in a matter of
days following an outbreak. Tamiflu isn't even being shipped
to the U.S. now, thanks to bulk drug importers who are hoarding
available supplies.
Official strategy #3: Tell people not to worry. Don't sweat
it. We've got you covered. As much as 30% of the U.S. population
might be infected, but don't worry. We're from the government,
and we're here to help.
Consider this: there may be as many as five million people
needing hospitalization if this pandemic spread throughout
the United States. We only have 500,000 (or so) hospital beds.
That one bed for every ten sick people. That means nine out
of ten people will be turned away from hospitals. I call it
the "go home and die" approach to public health.
But don't worry. The White House is working on it!
On top of that, our public health infrastructure is already
in shambles, thanks to a continuing state of oppression of
herbal medicine, shocking nutritional illiteracy throughout
the medical community, and the fact that more than 40% of
working Americans have no health insurance.
To make matters even worse, the White House isn't talking
about one of the most obvious problems with the whole "public
health" approach to surviving bird flu: its the doctors
and medical personnel who will be infected first. It happens
in every epidemic: the health care workers are exposed to
the carriers, and they become infected. This turns hospitals
into a viral propagation machine. Don't believe me? Just read
your history books on Ebola, Marburg and all the hot zone
microbes coming out of Zaire. Read the history of the 1918
influenza outbreak. It will open your eyes.
Real solutions are readily available
Look, I don't want to fan the flames on this issue. People
are scared enough already. The fact is that there are easy,
readily available solutions to fighting viruses and protecting
yourself from the bird flu threat. In my own research, I've
identified the 8 most powerful antiviral foods, the top 5
antiviral vitamins and minerals, the top 12 antiviral herbs,
and the top 10 antiviral products. Plus, I've just completed
an interview with a renowned herbalist who is introducing
a new antiviral tincture that contains the most potent combination
of viral defense medicine I've ever tasted. We'll be printing
that interview (and covering the product) here in the weeks
ahead.
So why isn't the conventional medical community telling people
about these natural antiviral solutions? The answer is obvious:
we still live in the Dark Ages of modern medicine, where anything
associated with nutrition, herbs or alternative therapies
is routinely discredited. You never hear, for example, that
the Tamiflu drug is actually manufactured from an ancient
Chinese herb (star anise). That fact remains largely hidden
from the public. People are just told it's a drug.
Similarly, people aren't informed about the antiviral potential
of natural therapies. And this is potentially a fatal mistake
that could cost the lives of millions around the world. Because
it is nature, not synthetic drugs or modern medicine, that
can save you from the bird flu virus. Nature has the answers,
not your government. Personally, I'm not worried about the
bird flu virus. I have supplements, tinctures and living plants
that offer far better influenza protection than the very best
drug the global medical community can come up with. I also
happen to know that our global medical community is clueless
when it comes to battling infectious disease (heck, hospitals
are breeding grounds for antibiotic-resistant superbugs!)
so I'm smart enough not to waste my time visiting doctors
or hospitals if the bird flu hits. The folks at the CDC and
WHO, by the way, are doing an outstanding job on the bird
flu issue. Those virologists and researchers have their heads
on straight. I have nothing against them. 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). See also:

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. And even
if I get exposed to the bird flu, I'll easily fight it off
with the help of these natural health solutions. If I sound
overly confident, it's only because I've actually read the
thousands of research studies describing the antiviral properties
of selected foods, herbs and medicines. I've also been preparing
my own garden: I'm growing eight different kinds of antiviral
plants right now, and the longer it takes bird flu to strike,
the more plants I'll have to go around.
But I can't speak for everyone else. Not everyone lives a
healthy lifestyle. Few people actually follow a healthy diet.
Most peoples' immune systems are seriously compromised. Some
people will need medical care, so I'm not suggesting that
everybody else should follow my own personal bird flu plan.
That's up to you. But I am saying that my own bird flu survival
plan is a simple, effective, natural one that does not require
me put my health into the hands of President Bush. (Scary
thought, huh?)
Download bird flu solutions right now
I've written a free downloadable guide about the bird flu
entitled, Beat the Bird Flu Virus. It contains a listing of
the twelve most potent antiviral herbs, based on research
from over 400 books written by pioneering doctors, researchers
and virologists. See also:
Why the bird flu virus is less deadly but more dangerous
I've also written a larger book, How to Beat the Flu which
goes into more detail and lists the top antiviral foods, herbs,
products, and vitamins / minerals. These is the book to get
if you want to know EXACTLY what to buy to prepare for the
bird flu virus. (And by the way, I don't sell any antiviral
products, and I earn no money on the antiviral products I
recommend.)
In addition, all the articles and commentary I've written
on the bird flu are indexed on www.BirdFluReport.org. There,
you'll find articles and news headlines that keep up with
the latest news on this potential pandemic. This is updated
daily.
Chill out, folks
And finally, I want to encourage everybody to take a deep
breath and calm down on this bird flu issue. Yes, I realize
that public health officials have called this, "...the
single largest threat to humanity," but that does not
mean you can't protect yourself and your family.
All you have to do is educate yourself about all the antiviral
solutions found in nature, then acquire those. And if you
can grow some plants, then grow some of these antiviral herbs
yourself, so you'll always have a living supply (that's what
I do).
Finally, take action now to prepare for a major immune system
assault. Give up that unhealthy lifestyle: smoking, drinking
soda, eating fried foods, red meat, hydrogenated oils, etc.
Learn how to live on healthy, living foods like fresh vegetable
juices (get yourself a Juiceman machine, Vitamix or a Champ
HP3 blender). Buy some antiviral herbs or tinctures and store
them in your refrigerator (they'll last longer that way).
And don't be the last person in line to buy a bird flu mask.
Supplies will be wiped out within days after the announcement
of a human-transmittable bird flu discovery on U.S. soil.
Get healthy now to prepare your immune system for bird flu
outbreak
Surviving the bird flu virus is straightforward and relatively
simple. It's not rocket science, and you don't have to wait
in line for Tamiflu or a flu vaccine (although if you can
actually get your hands on Tamiflu or a suitable vaccine,
it may very well be a wise decision to go ahead and use them
in addition to the other things you're preparing). We have
far better information today than our ancestors did during
the 1918 pandemic that killed twenty million people. They
didn't have a clue what to use, and there wasn't an internet
to teach them. But today, you have access to the most amazing
healing plants and natural therapies in the world. That is,
as long as you don't wait until the last minute to get some
for yourself.
The bottom line on all this? The White House is at least
acknowledging the bird flu virus is a potentially devastating
problem. That's actually a step in the right direction. But
don't count on the White House or our public health care system
to save your skin. The vaccines and drugs will be wiped out
in a matter of days. If you want to protect yourself (and
your family), you have to teach yourself how to reduce your
viral load using natural healing therapies (specific foods,
herbs, minerals, products, etc.). And then stock up on what
you need as an insurance policy.
It's cheap, it's easy, and it's very effective against viruses.
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.
