The real solution to the bird flu (or any flu) comes from natural sources. To survive most viral infections, all you really need are certain nutritional supplements and powerful medicinal herbs. As Dr. Russell Blaylock explains, "With nutritional supplementation, the elderly can avoid flu vaccination altogether. In my own clinical experience, supplementation dramatically reduces the incidence of ALL viral infection. And should that person become infected with a particularly virulent strain, the severity of the illness is dramatically reduced. This protection also includes such diseases as smallpox and anthrax." So, there you have it from a doctor who has the courage to stand up and tell the truth, and the brains to be an independent thinker. He doesn't fall for all the hype being distributed by the drug companies who, after all, look at flu shot season in the same way that retailers look at the Christmas shopping season: BIG MONEY. And a bird flu pandemic could be nothing short of a financial windfall for these companies.

Antibiotics don't work, either

What about antibiotics? As any doctor will tell you, antibiotics only work on bacteria, molds and fungi, not viruses. In fact, antibiotics are going to do you far more harm than good, because they are not going to prevent the virus, but they are going to destroy your healthy intestinal flora, and that's going to upset your entire digestive system. It's going to make it more difficult to assimilate the nutrients you need from whole food concentrates and medicinal herb supplements.

Taking antibiotics could give you diarrhea. They could also give you indigestion. They're basically going to worsen your health and probably force a situation where it takes you far longer to recover from the flu. So, I do not recommend taking antibiotics for any viral infection, and certainly not for any potential bird flu virus. Instead, work with a naturopath, because the naturopath is going to work holistically with the foods, the supplements, the herbs and the products that you are using. He or she may, in fact, recommend things that are not even in this book.

Your immune system is the ultimate solution

Besides, whether or not you visit a doctor, it's still up to your immune system to conquer the flu. In the end, your doctor can't take over your immune system via remote control. The immune system is either going to do the job and you are going to get over this, or it's not going to do its job and you are going to die from it. Those are the only two possible outcomes, and the doctor has almost no control over that. The doctor can't heal a patient, and the best doctors already know that. All they can do is assist the patient in healing themselves. Remember, all healing comes from the patient. All healing is ultimately initiated by you.

There are many natural substances that can help protect you from the bird flu. And many of them are probably growing in your yard or neighborhood right now; right this very minute. If you have the right knowledge, when the next flu pandemic hits, you could literally go out into your neighborhood forest, park, or yard, pick up the right plants, put them in a glass jar, fill the jar with vodka, shake it up, let it sit for a few days and then use that as an antiviral tincture to boost your flu immunity.
