Re: Influenza outbreak of 1918 was from common strain

[Guest guest]

Does anyone have any facts or opinions as to why the Flu of 1918 was so deadly

compared to other years?

I honestly think there was more going on than meets the eye or is said to the

public. There has to be an underlying issue that was at work.

Influenza outbreak of 1918 was from common strain

The biggest reason so many people died during that outbreak was due

to asprin. It was a new drug at the time and being prescribed by

allopaths left and right. The homeopaths lost only 1-2% of their

patients. The allopaths lost around 35%, I believe (it may be

higher). There is a whole book about it. I can't remember the

name. I'm sure Sheri knows.

Well, I don't know......I guess I would need to know what the living

conditions were like in Europe and the primitive cultures. And maybe

the developing nations were using white willow bark for pain? I've

read lots of very convincing evidence against asprin as far as the

flu goes. But I have fits if people even think about giving my kids

tylenol, so perhaps I am easily swayed in that regard. I know you

are very well researched, so I would be interested in why you think

these epidemics were so deadly.

Maybe there is no good reason, but it's hard for me to think that

there are horrible diseases that wipe everyone out for no reason.

Maybe I just don't " want " to think that!

Wouldn't it have to do with the sanitation conditions at the time -

thats what I have always thought...
