Governments aren't telling people the truth about bird flu preparation

While I think these stockpile rumors are simply state lies intended to calm people down, I know that some countries actually are stocking up on Tamiflu, which is an antiviral prescription drug. But Tamiflu will be all but useless if an outbreak occurs. Not because it doesn't work – it actually does have antiviral properties – but because you have to take a Tamiflu pill every day. Thus, if you have 100,000 pills you can really only treat 1,000 people for 100 days. Clearly you would need hundreds of millions of these pills if you were planning on treating the entire U.S. population in some kind of avian bird flu outbreak. Also, Tamiflu isn't necessarily effective against the H5N1 bird flu virus. It wasn't designed for that. It's been around for a long time as a basic antiviral drug, but in my research I've found that there are many other antiviral herbs and substances that are far more powerful than Tamiflu, that don't require a prescription and are much more affordable.

For example, I did a report on a product from Baseline Nutritionals called Super Viragon. It's made of powerful antiviral herbs. I've also created a free report called "Beat the Bird Flu virus" that lists the top antiviral vitamins, minerals, nutritional supplements, medicinal herbs, amino acids and products. The report is available as a free download on www.truthpublishing.com.

So if there is an outbreak of the bird flu virus, the solution is readily available if people would just get the right information. That information should include knowledge about the antiviral properties of these medicinal herbs and supplements. But of course, the public won't ever be told that. They'll be told there's no vaccine and that Tamiflu has run out. This will likely create a sort of panic or even a run on antiviral prescription drugs. Of course, once again, people in the know aren't going to be concerned about that because they'll be stocking up on elderberry extract and boosting their immune systems by taking herbs like astragalus, aloe vera, St. John's Wort, lemon balm herb and many others that have powerful antiviral properties.

My impression of the statements from governments around the world on bird flu is that they are basically designed to calm people down and are largely false statements. I fail to see how any country can be stocking up on a vaccine that doesn't even exist. And those who say they're stockpiling Tamiflu can't possibly have enough Tamiflu to treat any reasonable percentage of the population for very long. They would run out in less than a month, leaving everybody on their own. So, as usual, when it comes to your health, you can forget getting any good information from public sources.

You have to take your health into your own hands and be responsible for your own health outcome, which means educating yourself. The best way to do that is to subscribe to this website.

Even now, we're seeing symptomless bird flu carriers in Vietnam. This is particularly frightening to observers of the situation, because now we're finding out that people can carry the bird flu virus and not show any symptoms, which means they could be stealth carriers and unknowingly transmit the virus to others. Obviously this means that lots of people could be picking up the bird flu virus from those individual carriers if it becomes transmittable between humans. In this scenario, it would be very difficult for the CDC or the World Health Organization to track the origins of that particular outbreak. Currently H5N1 has not mutated into a human-transmittable form, but that is expected to take place at some unpredictable time in the future, and at that point, symptomless carriers of the virus could become a real problem.

Essentially, the bird flu situation looks to be getting worse. We're seeing more infections in Vietnam and symptomless carriers, and countries are doing little to actually prepare for the virus. They have plans in place and claim to be stockpiling a vaccine that doesn't even exist. The only thing they are really stockpiling is Tamiflu, which is not very effective against H5N1 and will be in short supply if an outbreak actually occurs.
