EDITOR'S NOTE REGARDING THE SWINE FLU: Postings now share evidence that a "new strain" of "swine flu" originates from consumption and contact with contaminated pigs. Just quit eating pork products, and you will not have to worry near as much. Add this species to chicken, turkey, duck, and their eggs. It is easy to avoid a severe type A Flu by simply not eating the animals or their by-products. Yet be aware this flu is not passed by simply eating the infected livestock.
News hysteria has been created regarding a "possible pandemic". This simply gives certain interests a "mandate" for $billions more to be spent on vaccines and drugs that so far do not work. Government will also use this as excuse to distribute even more dangerous drugs. Make sure our Congressmen, Senators, and Presidential administrations get the message that we need more funding for Timeless Holistic treatments, and not just an out-of-control medical profession that mostly endorse drugs, surgery or chemical treatments.
