Beating the Flu: The Natural Prescription for Surviving Pandemic Influenza and Bird Flu

Experts agree that the world is due for a flu pandemic, and the Bird Flu virus—with a 70% kill rate—may cause just such a catastrophe. Even conservative estimates say such a scenario could kill 2 million Americans and shut down economic services as the virus rages across the globe. As the world community busily prepares for the potential nightmare, it’s essential that individuals arm themselves with up-to-date information. In Beating the Flu, Dr. J. E. Williams apprises the situation honestly and offers vital advice for avoiding Bird Flu as well as steps for safely overcoming the virus should you contract it. Dr. Williams argues that due to a severe shortage in antiviral pharmaceutical drugs, natural medicines will play a crucial role in minimizing the outbreak and ensuring good health for you and your family. Dr. J. E. Williams has practiced Oriental Medicine for more than two decades and is the author of three books. Presently, he is the Academic Dean at the East West College of Natural Medicine.

Viruses, Plagues, and History

From Library Journal
The current interest in emerging diseases has led many virologists to write their own popular books on the subject. Many incorporate the entertaining if lurid detail popularized by Richard Preston's bestselling The Hot Zone (LJ 8/94). Some, like Frank Ryan in his Virus X (LJ 1/97), use accounts of emerging virus outbreaks as a lead-in to fascinating discussions on the ecology and evolution of viruses. Oldstone, who directs a laboratory of viral immunobiology at the Scripps Research Institute, takes a more traditional approach, intending to write in the spirit of Paul de Kruif's classic Microbe Hunters (1926). After a short introduction to the principles of virology and immunology, Oldstone describes the partial or total conquests of four major killers?smallpox, yellow fever, measles, and polio?then discusses old and emerging diseases that are serious threats?Lassa fever, Ebola, Hantavirus, AIDS, and influenza. Unfortunately, Oldstone's writing lacks de Kruif's prose style and engrossing detail; much, if not all, of his work reads like a rather terse textbook. Also of concern is Oldstone's tendency to ignore controversies or make unsupported statements that go against generally accepted scientific consensus. His competent but unexciting book is an optional choice for general science collections.?Marit MacArthur, Auraria Lib., Denver

Super Colon Cleanse

Product Description
The colon is one of the primary organs involved in the body's internal detoxification and elimination process. A clean colon, that has a healthy balance of intestinal flora, is the body's first line of defense.

However, our internal detoxificatio n and elimination process can breakdown from:

Exposure to pollution in our air, food and water, poor diet, lack of adequate fiber, excessive alcohol, caffeine and sugar, high stress, lack of exercise, overuse of antibiotics and prescription medicat ions.

This creates a toxic overload, setting the stage for digestive and other health complaints. When this happens, toxins can circulate into the bloodstream instead of being properly eliminated through the colon.

When the body needs help. SUPER COLON CLEANSE is a powerful colon cleansing combination of herbs, Psyllium Husk powder and milk-free acidophilus.
