Re: ACTION ALERT! Avian Flu - How to Protect Yourself...

March 19, 2006

Welcome Maggie!! yes even "no meat" eaters could be at risk.No human cases of bird flu have been linked to eating poultry, although in at least one instance, the H5N1 virus was found in a package of frozen duck. Because heat destroys avian viruses, WHO officials don't consider cooked poultry a health threat. Even so, it's best to take precautions when handling and preparing poultry, which is often contaminated with salmonella or other harmful bacteria. There are other precautions to take and some good info... but staying healthy and wise is the best advice The entire article is at http://www.cnn.com/HEALTH/library/DS/00566.html very interesting reading.

If you are eating free range, organic chicken, duck, goose, turkey or

any other bird then you have nothing to worry about. If on the hand, you

are eating Tyson's " we pack 'em 20 to a cage " fed dead animals processed

into their food then you will have much to worry about. This whole avian

flu is nothing but a huge smoke screen. The huge foul, er I mean fowl

producers are the ones that are creating the problem. It is not the wild

birds or the healthy free range birds as they do not get ill. However,

you will note that the huge producers are not having to cull their birds

at all. Don't believe for a second that their birds are healthy either.

Just like you won't get ill unless your body is toxic. This is nothing

more than a world wide agenda to instill fear into every man woman and

child for a particular reason. This reason is called control. Those

powers that be are very interested in having every human dependent on

them for their health, food and soon to be water. It's a happening thing.

Thanks for the welcome.

I think I should correct what I said earlier. So far, this round

of avian flu has not become airborne, but historically when H5N1 has

mutated to become airborne it has caused pandemics. From what I

understand the current strain is 2 mutations away from becoming

transmissible from human to human in an airborne form.

So Suzi is absolutely correct that we are all ok for now.

As far as wild or free range birds not becoming infected, the following is a brief clip from Reuters about recent events:

"

BERLIN, Feb 24, 2006 (Reuters) - Two more German states said on

Friday that wild ducks had tested positive for the deadly H5N1

strain of bird flu as the virus spread across Europe's biggest

economy. Two dead ducks were found to carry the dangerous strain of

avian flu in the northwestern state of Schleswig-Holstein, while

another one tested positive in the southwestern state of Baden

Wuerttemberg. " Both of the birds have tested positive for H5N1. " said Schleswig-Holstein's agriculture ministry in a statement. More than 100 wild birds -- most of them on the Baltic

island of Ruegen -- have tested positive for bird flu since the

disease first reached Germany on Feb 14. "

Hi Maggie and welcome to the group,

Any bird collected, heck for that matter most any animal or human will

test positive for H5N1. This virus is everywhere all the time just as

HIV and any other virus. Now if you wish to believe that a virus can

make you ill then that is your choice. If you wish to believe that only

you and you alone can make yourself ill then that is your choice as

well. As for me I quit believing in the Pasteur philosophy quite some

time ago. Bacteria, viruses and fungi do not, in and of themselves,

cause disease. Disease is caused by choices in thought, diet, and

lifestyle. There is no other cause. A toxic body is a breeding ground

for any of the above microorganisms as they are known as natures trash

collectors or garbage men. They clean up the waste and in doing so will

create some of their own, true. But they do not cause the original disease.

As far a listening to major media I would take what I read with a great

deal of salt. All the major media are manipulated and told what to write

and when. I thought everyone knew this. Not only that but does anyone

really know whether these ducks actually had the virus? Or was there

some manipulative mumbo-jumbo voodoo to make it appear that way for a

reason? Hmmmm...??? There is no human, animal, or plant that will

become ill if it is in a healthy state free of toxemia. Not possible.

But I don't want you to believe me. I want you to do your own research

and educate yourself into what is true or not.

Of course it is your choice whether you wish to believe everything you

read and hear or not. I am not going to tell you that what you hear is

right or wrong. I will voice my opinion but it is up to you to decide

what you wish to believe. It is up to you to educate yourself in what is

true and what is not. I am just giving you another view from my own

perspective and research.

Hi Don and thanks for the

welcome. I appreciate hearing others opinions on any subject and

certainly was not trying to attack yours in any way. Like you, I

was just presenting alternative thinking on the subject.

" Of course it is your choice whether you wish to believe everything you read and hear or not. "

I certainly do not

believe everything I read and hear, but some things start to take on

some credibility with me when I read them many times from a large

variety of sources, not all just corporate owned media. I remain

open to anyone's thoughts. After all, everyone is a teacher and

we are all also students.

:^)

Peace,

Maggie
