How To Beat The Coming Flu & Cold Season, Naturally
By: Judy Thompson
In the last year or so, have you experienced one or more bad colds, or possibly had a bout with the flu? Numerous people, some even in our own local area, have actually been laid up with pneumonia!
In the last three decades there have been several viral and bacterial epidemics—and this at a time when we should have been able to expect the eradication of many infectious diseases. Why is this? Why does it seem that in recent years, in spite of all the wonderful medical help available, that people are sicker than ever?
Some people say this is due to the overuse of too-potent antibiotics or it might be because of the widespread use of vaccines. Plus, with globalization and the increasing availability of long distance flights, it is easier for infections to be spread around the world. continue reading

Plan Ahead to Avoid the Legal Problems of Bird Flu
By: Richard Stooker
Any event that holds the potential of causing millions of deaths obviously holds the potential of causing millions of lawsuits.
A bird flu pandemic would be a disaster on every front. If one does happen, it's likely that the survivors will look for someone to blame -- someone to pay out a lot of money. For compensation of the loss of loved ones. continue reading

How to Avoid Catching Bird Flu While Hunting or Fishing
By: Richard Stooker
There've always been risks to hunting and fishing -- and smart hunters and fishers have always been aware of them and taken steps to minimize the risks.
Just as you now practice gun safety, you must now be aware that there is new risk -- bird flu.
Right now, the risk is small. That is true.
If you're hunting in the Eastern Hemisphere (Europe, Africa, Asia) you do have a slight but significant chance of encountering the bird flu virus.
If you're hunting in the Western Hemisphere (North and South America), your chances of encountering bird flu are -- right now -- very small but NOT zero. continue reading

Indonesia Might Solve the Puzzle of Bird Flu Transmission
By: Richard Stooker
Is bird flu being spread more by migrating birds or by people transporting infected poultry?
That's a question being debated by experts, and although it may not seem important, the answer makes a big difference in understanding how to stop the spread of bird flu.
Some experts say that the main reason bird flu has spread from Southeast Asia to the Middle East, several areas of Africa and much of Europe is migratory birds.
Wild ducks are the standard reservoir for avian influenza viruses, meaning it's normal for them to carry various influenza viruses in their intestines. It normally does not affect the ducks themselves, but they can spread it to chickens and other birds.
Supporters of this theory cite the genetic consistency between the strain of H5N1 in the wild birds that died around Quinghai Lake, China in the spring of 2005 and the H5N1 found in dead birds found in Europe.
Some experts say that the bird flu virus is being spread mainly by people. On an international level, by smugglers of exotic birds and importers and exporters of chicken meat (often evading duties and tariffs). continue reading

How to Germ Proof Your Kitchen and Other Household Areas Against Bird Flu and Other Diseases
By: Richard Stooker
Chances are there're a lot more germs growing in your kitchen and the rest of your house than you think. Your kitchen is a breeding ground for cold, influenza and stomach viruses, as well as the normal microbes that inhabit your skin and digestive tracts.
Even though you think you're a great housekeeper.
The most dangerous area is the kitchen. Yes, surprising as it seems, your kitchen probably has more germs than your bathroom -- where the worst of them are flushed away.
Your kitchen contains a huge number of surfaces. continue reading

How to Germ Proof Your Bathroom Against Bird Flu and Other Diseases
By: Richard Stooker
Think your bathroom is safe from disease?
I can almost guarantee that unless you know some special "germ" secrets, your bathroom may be giving you diarrhea and other unpleasant problems.
Don't get grossed out -- but do get scared enough to take effective action.
Your bathroom is one of the major germ centers of your house, for obvious reasons. If there's ever a bird flu pandemic, it's one of the areas you must keep hygienic to prevent the spread of bird flu within your household.
Unfortunately, bird flu is by far NOT the only disease threat you face from your bathroom. So you should not wait until bird flu is killing millions of people before you change some of your bathroom habits.
First habit -- in the great traditional battle between men and women about whether the toilet seat should be kept up or down, both men and women are wrong, though women are half right.
The toilet LID should be put down, assuming that after you do your business into the toilet, you flush it.
Studies have shown that when a toilet is flushed, the force of it can send small droplets of urine and/or aerosolized fecal matter as high as twenty feet into the air. continue reading

Bird Flu and Terrorism
By: Richard Stooker
Bird flu won't stop terrorists, and a serious pandemic may encourage them to strike.
Therefore, one more problem which policy makers in the world must watch out for is maintaining security. This will be hard enough when police, security guards and soldiers are sick and dying in large numbers.
Of course, terrorists are not immune to bird flu, and some will no doubt become sick and die just as everyone else. But since we cannot count on bird flu incapacitating all of them, we must prepare to guard against attacks.
Many terrorists do prefer to meticulously plan and prepare for their attacks. continue reading
