The medical profession is blind. Most Family Doctors today have had about two or three hours of University training on the topic of influenza and colds. These people rely on what they read just as much as we do. They have very little expertise unless they devote themselves to the research on this particular topic. So how do they decide what to give you to treat your colds and your flu.
Simple answer: They rely on the pharmaceutical companies who give them samples to promote their own goods.
Family Doctors are well meaning people in general and they care but they are mislead in so many ways that there is no possiblity for them to make the difference between what is truth and what is a hoax. The pharmaceutical companies put so much effort into the marketing of their products that doctors have no ability to resist the push for drugs. In addition, our society is so used to having a pill for every illness that doctors feel compelled to provide us with prescriptions. So they are being harrassed both ways, from the demanding public and from the pushy pharmaceutical companies.
Because of this attitude of the medical profession, the College of Physicians and Surgeons has always insisted on providing solutions to every situation they are faced with. I have yet to find a physician or family doctor that tells me he or she doesn't have a cure for my illness. If you show up at their clinic with something, you are almost guaranteed to come out with a prescription of some kind. Even if the doctor has no clue as to what ails you, he/she will give you a medication for it. If you don't belive me do the experiment yourself. Next time you are ill, go to your doctor. Once you are done with this doctor, go to another clinic and see what that doctor says. Go to three or four clinics. Chances are very strong that you will come out with three or four different diagnostic and three of four different prescription.
So how does this related to the Bird Flu Hoax? The way I see it, the medical profession knows that there is a risk of a widespread diseases for which they have no solution. However, because they are unwilling to admit that they can't do anything, they deny their limitations and try to invent a solution anyway. So when word of a possible Influenza Pandemic started based on its cyclical nature (there was no Bird Flu at the time), they quickly told everyone not to worry since vaccines would take care of the problem.
But people today are educated. Very soon that solution fell through when people learned that it will take four to six months from the onset of the disease to develop a vaccine and another four to six months to produce enough for the poopulation in "developed" countries. Since the virus itself will probably spread around the world in six to ten weeks, it means that everyone will have either died from the virus or recovered by the time the vaccine is even conceived. Oops! There goes that option.
Did the medical profession admit they had no solution then? Never. They now looked to "antivirals" of which Tamiflu was the main proponent. Of course the pharmaceutical was very obligating here but that will be the topic of a future blog entry. The problem with antivirals is that they don't prevent the disease, they don't cure the disease, they only reduce the lenght of the illness by a couple of days. If your body is strong enough to resist the virus anyway, when you take these antivirals you are only helping your body's own immune system work faster. But you are doing this at a very high risk.
For one thing you are using a mixture of chemical products. I believe every chemical product which is not obtained through organic food sources is potentially harmful. But even if you don't agree with this, you need to know that antivirals have been the object of very little long term testing. There are side effects that are now starting to crop but because of the strenght of the pharmaceutical companies, we don't hear about it. In particular, some research indicates that there are liver complications that can arise in over 10% of the population.
Do physicians worry about this? Probably not because they only read what they get from the companies that actually produce the medication. Since it gives them a possibility of handing out more prescriptions and it allows them to say that they do have a solution, they won't dare to do any further research.
In my book, "The Return of the Spanish Lady; The 1918 Influenza Virus is Back" I propose another solution. I suggest through my novel that natural medecines are the way to prepare for the Influenza Pandemic that may come - not from birds - some day soon. In particular, I researched on homeopathy and discovered that the rate of survival of people treated this way in 1918 was close to 90% in comparison to 35% survival rate for people treated in so-called modern medecine.
You decide. Will you trust you family doctor? Will you trust the money making pharmaceutical companies? Are you ready for more harmful chemical to be pumped into your body? Or would you rather find natural ways to enhance your body's immune system?
Remember, the medical profession is blind. It's the blind trying to heal the blind. I certainly don't trust them even if they are well-meaning, generally caring people. The Bird Flu is a hoax and they are playing right into it, trying to drag us along.
To your health.
