Finally, the pieces of the puzzle start to add up. Last week, President

Bush sought to instill panic in this country by telling us a minimum of

200,000 people will die from the avian flu pandemic but it could be as bad

as 2 million deaths in this country alone.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2005-10-08-flu-pandemic_x.htm

This hoax is then used to justify the immediate purchase of 80 million

doses of Tamiflu, a worthless drug that in no way shape or form treats the

avian flu, but only decreases the amount of days one is sick and can

actually contribute to the virus having more lethal mutations.

So the U.S. placed an order for 20 million doses of this worthless drug at

a price of $100 per dose. That comes to a staggering $2 billion.

We are being told that Roche manufactures Tamiflu and, in yesterday's New

York Times, they were battling whether or not they would allow generic drug

companies to help increase their production.

But if you dig further you will find that a drug was actually developed by

a company called Gilead that 10 years ago gave Roche the exclusive rights

to market and sell Tamiflu.

Ahh, The Plot Thickens...

If you read the link below from Gilead, you'll discover Defense Secretary

Rumsfeld was made the chairman of Gilead in 1997.

Since Rumsfeld holds major portions of stock in Gilead, he will handsomely

profit from the scare tactics of the government that is being used to

justify the purchase of $2 billion of Tamiflu.

For more on the nonsense of the avian flu hoax, you'll want to review my

post from yesterday.

Avian Flu Epidemic Scare is a Hoax

" If you have been viewing the media you must have seen the scare the media

and the president are seeking to orchestrate on you and the public.

According to a draft of the government's plan to fight a potentially

cataclysmic pandemic this new avian super-flu could kill nearly TWO MILLION

Americans.

But I nearly fell out of my seat in the airplane as I was flying back from

a conference in Ft. Lauderdale when I read that in the BEST-case scenario,

only 200,000 people might die.

Then they post the frightening picture from the 1918 flu epidemic to

heighten the fear. It just amazes me how they can get away with this type

of reporting that is so obviously manipulated by the government and drug

companies to scare you into taking the flu vaccine.

The popular media continues to reinforce this unbased fear. In the

editorial section of the October 17, 2005 issue of the Wall Street Journal,

Dr. Henry , former director of the Office of Biotechnology at the

FDA, seeks to frighten the US public by telling us that the avian flu virus

can jump from birds to humans and produce a fatal illness in 50% of those

infected.

Ah there's the rub. 50% fatality rate sounds pretty scary to me. What Dr.

and the other experts fail to explain is how these numbers were

derived. Did they examine everyone who contracted the avian flu and use

those numbers or did they examine the sickest of the sick who had come down

with the avian flu and determine the mortality from there?

Of course it was the later, and from the 60 people who have died from this

in THIRD world countries we are being told that anywhere from 200,000 AT

BEST to two million people at worst will die from the avian flu.

This is shody science at best and beyond belief that any reputable

scientist could get away with such nonsense.

Daily Show Parody

Fortunately contemporary comedians can see right through this nonsense.

Here are the links to Jon 's scathing and brilliant Daily Show piece

on bird flu. But I have to warn you that it may cause you to hurt yourself

from laughing so hard, especially the World Health expert comments on the

avian flu killing 150 million people and even funnier comment of

Bush on bird to people transmission.

What Happened to Common Sense?

The avian flu epidemic hoax reminds me just how uncommon " common sense " is.

Folks where is the sound basic science here? How do they make the giant

leap of faith that 60 deaths will translate to 2 million or even 200,00

deaths in the US from a virus that does NOT readily spread from birds to

humans or humans to humans?

Most of the people who acquired this infection were bird handlers who were

in continuous contact with these sick birds. Does anyone in their right

mind envision similar circumstances in the US?

Research like this would typically be thrown in the trash if it did not

strongly support some ulterior purpose.

What might the purpose of these scare tactics be you ask?

Well how about the US purchasing huge quantities of antiviral drugs and an

increase in flu vaccine production along with purchasing 20 million doses

of the highly questionably effective Tamiflu. Guess how much one treatment

of Tamiflu costs? Give yourself a slap on the back if you guessed $100.

Rumsfeld to Profit Big Time

So those 20 million doses the government has authorized will cost US

Taxpayers 2 BILLION dollars.

Defense Secretary Rumsfeld will likely profit handsomely from the

announcement the government is purchasing $2 billion of Tamiflu, the drug

developed by Gilead Sciences when Rumsfeld was president of the company. He

is reported to hold major portions of stock in Gilead

Not very different from his previous experience with aspartame where he was

president of Searle and was able to get asparatame approved after being

blocked by the FDA for more than a decade.

Now I think very few of us would mind if this drug actually worked and

prevented even a few people from dying. But does it do that? Not really.

About all anyone can expect from this drug is that it might make the

symptoms a bit less severe. On the downside (aside from setting you back

$100) Dr. Tenpenny explained in her Flu Tele Clinic last week Tamiflu can

actually cause the virus to mutate into a more dangerous and potent viral

strain.

Yesterday US Congress asked Roche, the maker of Tamiflu to suspend its

patent and have others make it because they could not likely keep up with

the demand, but of course Roche refused saying Tamiflu is hard to make and

it would take another company three years to " get up to speed " .

What they were really saying is they could care less about the public, what

their primary focus on was to not share their windfall profits mandated by

the US Congress.

Worthless Flu Shots

Of course let us not forget the flu shots which many will use get when they

confuse avian flu with the regular flu. Please understand even if you

believe the flu shots work, the flu shot you can now purchase is in no way

shape or form designed to protect you against the flu. They are completely

different strains. (Avian flu is H5N1 strain).

But rest assured the makers of flu vaccines will not lose this unusal

opportunity to rape the American public of even more profits. Today we

learned that those getting the flu shotsmay see a 25% increase in prices at

clinics, doctors' offices and medical centers because of increases in the

wholesale cost of the vaccines.

History Repeats Itself

Investigative journalist Ida Honorof for decades published a consumer

newsletter and broadcast a regular radio program. Honorof received a first

prize award from Associated Press for investigative journalism. The Los

Angeles Times and other publications credited her with breaking some of the

biggest horror stories of our time.

Ida Honorof wrote, " the most brazen, obscene electioneering ploy " ever and

added that it was proposed by the President " and his coterie of scientific

hacks, fabricated to cause pure unadulterated panic and guarantee political

capital, rammed through without consideration of people's health and lives

and approved by a band-wagon Congress " eager to make the nation's " health "

a bipartisan concern.

The above quote was not written about the avian flu epidemic but the 5

million swine-flu vaccine program of 30 years ago. The hastily contrived

program for swine flu resulted in hundreds of Guillain Barre Syndrome

paralysis victims as well as countless deaths for a flu pandemic that never

materialized.

The pocketbook purloining proposed by the Senate is more than 3,000 per

cent greater than that of 30 years ago! Has your paycheck increased 3,000

per cent in the last 30 years?

Practical Options

First step for anyone caught up in this avian flu hype nonsense is to take

a deep breath and relax and realize the truth here. Unless you are full

time bird handler in a third world country that has a seriously challenged

immune system you probably have a much better chance of wining the lottery

than dying from the proposed avian flu epidemic.

Review the simple lifestyle measures I outlined earlier this year that will

serve to boost your immune system to not only address any form of the flu

but also other infectious illness like the cold. When you have a healthy

lifestyle and follow basic steps of the Total Health program, for the most

part you just don't get sick.

This is the routine surprised comment that most patients tell me after they

have been on the program. The Total Health program works for me, most of my

patients and can work for you. Just give it a try and let's stop enriching

the drug companies for toxic alternatives that don't solve the problem.

For more information about the avian flu you can obtain the Flu Tele Clinic

I did last week with Dr. Tenpenny.
