Help I scalded my breast?



Answers:
True, Tamiflu is not effective. Currently, there is no bird flu cure. The survivors naturally have "special immune system". If and when a pandemic strikes, we'll have no defense for several months before an effective vaccine is created.

how to treat varicocele?

No, I was not aware of all the facts you listed. However, some of the facts might cause people to dismiss the seriousness of H5N1.
Bird flu has not mutated YET. It may never mutate. However, the scientific probabilities of a global pandemic are high.
NO responsible scientiest or physician has encouraged people to buy TAMIFLU to treat the H5N1 virus. It would be totally irresponsible to suggest that TAMIFLU could cure an illness that cannot yet be defined.
I agree that some governments may be trying to avoid mass hysteria by telling their residents that TAMIFLU is cuttently available, but they have NOT said TAMIFLU would actually treat the illness.
I consider myself to be an intelligent, informed adult, and failing to protect my family from a possible disaster (hurricane, earthquake, pandimic) is irresponsible.
The American Red Cross, and several major church organizations have Disaster Services offices which educate people on how to prepare for emergencies. It is NOT the government's responsibility to prepare my family, it is mine !
Instead of projecting that an American governmental official has much to gain in the sales of TAMILFLU vaccine, it is more beneficial to humanity to educate people on how to survive crisis. New Orleans residents needed education BEFORE Katrina.
Thank you for your research. When I look at the information it does make me angry to realize that the wealthy profit from the masses. It is not something within my control. What I can control is myself, and I think it is a greater gift to mankind to teach people how to fish than to tell them there are sharks.
Thank you.

It is not a hoax and here is something the British found is effective

Laboratory tests show Sambucol® neutralises Common and Avian Flu Virus H5N1
Added: (Thu Jan 19 2006)

New research, carried out by Retroscreen Virology has indicated that
Sambucol®, a patented formula, may fight the virulent Avian Flu virus. Results have been presented yesterday, Wednesday, in a press conference held in the Royal Society of Medicine, London. Speakers included Prof. Hannoun, Emeritus Professor at the Pasteur Institute and Dr. Mumcuoglu, developer of Sambucol®.

Laboratory trials held in a leading research institute, Retroscreen Virology
Ltd, associated with the University of London found Sambucol® to be at least
99% effective against the Avian Flu virus H5N1. Sambucol® was effective at
significantly neutralising the infectivity of the virus in cell cultures. These
results will also be presented during the International Conference on Bird Flu:
“The First Pandemic of the 21st Century. A Central Role for Antivirals”, to be
held at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital on January 19th-20th 2006.

Dr. Madeleine Mumcuoglu, is looking into further investigations into the
activity of Sambucol® against Avian Flu on a wider scale.

In an earlier study (1995) Sambucol® was found to be effective against a wide range of influenza strains. Laboratory studies conducted at the Hebrew
University – Hadassah Medical School, Jerusalem demonstrated the activity
of Sambucol® against human, swine, and avian influenza strains.
Sambucol®'s efficacy was also demonstrated in two double blind, placebo
controlled clinical studies. Sambucol® was shown to cut the duration and
severity of the common flu by up to half.

Notes to editors;
Sambucol® is based on an active substance isolated from the black elderberry.
Manufactured by Razei Bar Industries Israel, Sambucol® is available in 17
countries and in the UK is sold in Tesco, leading chemists, independent health
food stores and wholesalers from £8.49.
