Why the bird flu virus is less deadly but more dangerous

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger
See article keywords and concepts
Now of course, 10 days isn't long enough, this virus could be around for 10 months. The U.S. isn't stockpiling anywhere near 3 billion doses of Tamiflu -- not even anything close to that. This antiviral prescription drug will be rationed. It will be held back from everyone but senior citizens, people lucky enough to have the right doctor or those who have the right amount of money to buy it on the underground market. Basically, it will be available to certain selected people.
Now, of course, this may not be relevant in the long term. The virus could again mutate into a form susceptible to Tamiflu, making it effective. But even if it is effective, how many doses are available, versus how many people might be infected? You see, Tamiflu is something that you have to take daily, so they need one dose per day for each person in the country. Do the math for about 300 million people in the U.S., for example, taking Tamiflu for just 10 days. You would need three billion doses of Tamiflu stockpiled, just to cover the entire U.S. population for a period of 10 days.

There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program

The introduction of live virus vaccines, such as live MMR vaccine made from weakened forms of the live measles, mumps, and rubella viruses, has raised questions about whether live vaccine virus could be a co-factor in causing chronic diseases such as diabetes. In 1982, another vaccine was added to the childhood vaccination schedule in Finland. Children age 14 months to 6 years were given the live MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) vaccine. This was followed by the injection of 114,000 Finnish children 3 months and older with another experimental Hib vaccine.

They've also managed to get people to believe that infectious diseases are caused SOLELY by the presence of the virus or bacterium -- an idea that's utter nonsense. An infectious agent is only a threat when the body is suppressed enough to be susceptible to infection. The real cause of an infection is just as much a weakened immune system as it is the presence of the virus, yet conventional medicine focuses solely on the presence of the virus and dismisses the role of the immune system in preventing infection. I say we should Free Santos!

Why the bird flu virus is less deadly but more dangerous

They don't want that to happen with bird flu, so they're being more cautious and raising the alarm, rather than getting caught with their pants down, so to speak, and trying to play catch up with a virus that's already become a pandemic. History judges people more cautiously if they put out a warning first. People at the WHO and the CDC do not want to be the groups in history who failed to warn the public. In terms of infectious disease, it's better to warn people about something that isn't coming, than to say nothing and have it wipe out a whole nation.

Adaptogens: Herbs for Strength, Stamina, and Stress Relief

Interferon is a complex protein that is produced by cells in response to a virus (or bacteria) and inhibits virus development. Natural killer (NK) cells are lymphocytes that lack B-cell and T-cell receptors. They are designed to kill certain mutant and virus-infected cells. Helper cells activate the production of antibodies by B cells. Stress and the Immune System Chronic stress suppresses the ability of the immune system to do its job. This is in contrast to acute stress. The difference between acute (shortlived) stress and chronic (ongoing) stress must be recognized.

No honest investigation into accidental global release of Spanish Flu virus

This company took this deadly virus and replicated it, then put it in kits that were part of an everyday influenza identification testing kit. They overnighted these kits through postal mail or courier services to over 4,000 destinations around the world in many different countries. When this became headline news, however, nobody was interested in finding out whether this was a crime. Nobody thought, "Why is this happening?" Nobody raised the alarm and said, "You know what, this is a threat to human health.

Podell was to investigate whether methamphetamines stimulate the replicarion of feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), a disease that some scientists believe bears some resemblance to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in humans. "Podell was the lead researcher on a five-year, $1.68 million study, funded by National Institute of Health (NIH), that infected cats with FIV, dosed them with methamphetamines [commonly known as speed], tested them, and finally euthanized and dissected them,"3 reports The HSUS.

The cells are now working for the virus rather than the body, generating a subcommunity with allegiances that conflict with the interests of the larger community [of the body]. The papillomaviruses are difficult to root out because these cells, being the body's own cells, provide the cover of an upstanding citizen.'11 That cervical cancer is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) has been known for decades in the medical community, but the virus responsible is not tested for at STD clinics because infection does not always lead to cancer.

I say we should Free Santos! He is no more of a threat to public health than your typical doctor, and no patient should be imprisoned by hospital authorities simply for having an infection of a disease that doesn't even pose a threat to healthy individuals. The alternative is to turn the U.S.

Acyclovir is phosphory-lated (a phosphate group is added to the molecule) by the viral enzyme thymidine kinase and then incorporated into the DNA chain of the herpes virus, where it blocks DNA synthesis and therefore replication of the virus. Acyclovir is generally well tolerated but can cause headache, nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain. More serious side effects include confusion and hallucinations, but these are rare. It also can rarely cause kidney damage.

Pet nutrition revealed: the Health Ranger interviews Dr. Lisa Newman on pet nutrition and pet food ingredients (part 3 of 4)

Newman: It is not a virus that makes you sick. It's the condition of the environment when the body was introduced to the virus. You can be in an office full of sick people and never get sick if you are taking your vitamin C and garlic. In medicine today, we still blame the virus or bacteria. Mike: It's the germ theory. It still dominates. I still have to ask about some more ingredients, but this is so fascinating that I have to ask you about some other things. I hear this all the time about people food, and I'm sure the same is true for pet food. People complain about the cost.

GARDASIL The human papillomavirus (HPV), a virus that is spread by unprotected sexual intercourse, affects more than half of the world's population. HPV can cause genital warts and in rare cases cervical cancer. Of those who are infected, however, 95% are asymptomatic and never know they have HPV. Although almost all cases of cervical cancer are caused by HPV, HPV is ubiquitous and it is uncommon for HPV to progress to cervical cancer. Cervical cancer kills four thousand women per year, only one tenth the death rate of breast cancer, for example. That means that about 0.

The leaf increases the number and activity of phagocytes and interferes with viral infection by inactivating the virus, preventing the virus from shedding its coat, budding, or assembling at the cell membrane. It can also directly penetrate an infected host and inhibit viral replication. The leaf relaxes and dilates peripheral blood vessels and protects the body against hardening of the arteries. It is reported to kill off many pathogens including Cryptosporidia, giardia, pinworm, malaria protozoa, roundworm, and tapeworm.

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. Oseltamivir (Tamiflu) and Zele (Zanamivir) are used in the treatment of the influenza virus and are promoted as potentially useful agents for the prevention of bird flu. Tamiflu is taken as a pill twice a day for five days; Zanamivir is inhaled through a device, called a diskhaler, that delivers the medicine to the lungs.

Please wear Kevlar body armor in the public schools if you visit Allopathia any time soon…) Obesity is caused by a virus! In Allopathia, obesity isn't caused by eating too much, avoiding exercise and consuming lots of processed sugars; it's actually caused by a virus! You read that right: It's a tiny packet of DNA that invades the bodies of Allopathia citizens and magically causes them to gain weight, completely beyond their control.

These medications are neuraminidase inhibitors that prevent replication of influenza A and B viruses by interfering with the production and release of the virus from cells that line the respiratory tract. To be useful, they both need to be taken within 48 hours of the onset of flu symptoms. Tamiflu has been approved for treatment of the flu in children over the age of one and for prevention of the flu in patients over age thirteen. Side effects of both medications include swelling of the sinuses, diarrhea, nausea, and vomiting. Patients with asthma or COPD may experience breathing problems.

It can lock down your computer, fry your hard drive, and send you swirling in a sea of profanity that can be heard three counties over. Anyone whose computer has ever been slowed or shut down by a foreign invader knows what she needs to do: protect any future ones from entering. In our bodies, we can't firewall ourselves with complete virus protection— that's the price we pay for not living in a bubble. We interact with all kinds of germs, bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, and other invaders that want to feed off our insides.

Absurd vaccine marketing calls for cervical cancer vaccinations for young boys!

Mike Adams, the Health Ranger

If they're unhealthy and vulnerable, then of course they're not going to be able to keep the virus in check. We don't live in a sterile world, after all. There are more bacteria cells in your body right now than human cells, and we're surrounded by viruses, fungi and other germs. The whole idea of vaccinating against one particular strain that might someday, possibly, perhaps cause a problem if you have sex is just medical nonsense. But vaccinating young boys is an even dumber idea.

We do not actually ever see the virus, and in fact, the cold does not directly cause our symptoms. They are caused by the reactions within our body's internal environment when our immune system responds to the invading germ or bug. We never directly experience the cold. We really experience our body's attempt to kill the virus; and for the most part, this is the source of our symptoms. Perhaps in some way the quantum physicists' virtual particles are the bug in our reality, but our consciousness responding to them is really what we notice as our experience of reality.

Movie Review: I am Legend, Will Smith and the Dangers of Playing God with Food and Medicine

REPPED: Will Smith's latest blockbuster hit, I Am Legend, opens with the premise that medical researchers engineered a cure for cancer that required injecting (or "infecting") patients with a genetically-modified virus that blocks the growth of cancer tumors. Early human trials were extremely successful (a 100 percent cure rate), but the virus quickly mutated into a rabies-like strain, causing subjects to rapidly (and rabidly) devolve into beasts of aggression and superhuman strength who fear ultraviolet radiation from sunlight.

How does a virus sequester heavy metals? Dr. Liers: You will see this in the research literature more now. The therapies are aimed at knocking out the viruses, and maybe using these growth factors to make the cellular functioning better, maybe changing the cell potential, because cell potentials -- when they start coming down -- make the cell not able to function at the level it is supposed to. You are not getting things in and out right. You are not getting the Kreb's cycle right.

In our bodies, we can't firewall ourselves with complete virus protection— that's the price we pay for not living in a bubble. We interact with all kinds of germs, bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, and other invaders that want to feed off our insides. Their main points of entry are the skin, the lungs, and the gut, which is why those organs have developed mechanisms to protect us from personal invaders. Most of us know the stakes: When invaders get the best of us, we're more vulnerable to colds, infections, and more serious disease.

Bird flu spreading rapidly; U.S. government warns population

Maybe we'll all get lucky and this virus will be beaten back. But that's clearly a roll of the dice, with stakes too high to gamble with (human lives) if you ask me. Why I'm not gambling with my life I am not a gambler. I don't play the slots at Vegas, I don't buy lottery tickets, and I don't gamble with the safety of my readers when it comes to telling the truth about the bird flu virus. 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.

Product review: Power Immune anti-viral tincture from Fitura

I found that this combination clobbered viruses with a barrage of synergistic phytochemicals, and no virus could resist its effects (it worked for me 100% of the time). Now a new company has resurrected the formula and, in fact, improved it! The company is called Fitura (www.Fitura.com) and the product is "Power Immune." The owner of Fitura (Edwin Veelo) sent me two sample bottles several months ago, and I've had the opportunity to use this product several times since then.
