Looks like a lot of work ahead for the Infection and Inflammation

Oh gee, nothing like a good challenge! :-)

Does bird flu kill in the same way as Sars?

If so, it might be wise to have some ARBs on hand. Remember that Dr.

Moscowitz found it successful in saving lives of SARS patients. Not

because it kills viruses but because it reduces the

inflammation/swelling on the brain which kills.

Also, I think it might be wise to have some Cimetidine (Tagament) on

hand. Dr. Goldstein claims it " cures " mononucleosis. And there are

studies showing it to be effective against Herpes and some other

viruses as well. Couldn't hurt. It's just an OTC acid reducer.
