GFSH Newsletter April 2006: Bird Flu Hype

Bird Flu Hype

Hi folks, and happy spring!

I thought I’d send a short newsletter with some excellent links on the issue of “Bird Flu.”

I think this information will help people to understand that the FLU IS NOT CONTAGIOUS, in terms of the conventional model of infectious disease that we’re all familiar with.
1. First, Drs. Rudi Verspoor and Patty Smith-Verspoor of the Hahnemann Center for Heilkunst have put up a podcast
where they discuss this topic and provide some important insights.

It may take a few minutes to load in your browser, but the first podcast on “Why the Flu is Not Contagious” is up and
running now. I’m looking forward to more in the near future from the “Dr Rudi and Dr Patty show.”

2. Dr. Sherri Tenpenny has a new website called Bird Flu Hype, http://www.birdfluhype.com, filled with lots of resources.

Also check out a revealing interview with her, which for some reason isn’t on her website, but it’s here:

What I found particularly interesting was the part about the “10-step recipe” for “risk communication.” –

“Risk communication is a field that has evolved from several different fields of study such as health education, public relations, and psychology. A plan for communicating the ‘international risk’ of bird flu has led to the development of a new 10-step ‘recipe’ crafted by Princeton-based risk communication experts Peter M. Sandman, Ph.D, and his spouse, Jody Lanard, MD, a psychiatrist.”

Sounds like the *idea* of risk is the only real communicable disease here

COD LIVER OIL

Drs Rudi and Patty highly recommend cod liver oil as one of the best ways to support the immune system. Carlson’s and
Nordic Naturals are good brands. Use the liquid only, not the capsules.

They’re flavored with natural fruit extracts, and taste fine, not fishy at all. I sometimes take it straight with a vegetable juice chaser, or mix it in with salad dressing. Taking it with something else oily disguises it completely, but even straight the taste is very mild.

Once the bottle is opened, it lasts 3-4 months in the refrigerator.

A friend of mine reported that the Nordic Naturals orange flavor tastes fine, although the other flavors weren’t as good. I use the orange flavor and also the Carlson’s brand which is lemon flavored.

Even in spring and summer, many of us aren’t getting enough exposure to sunlight to meet our Vitamin D requirement..
unless we’re living on a tropical beach

Also we need the DHA and EPA in cod liver oil for so many metabolic functions that I might as well not list them all, and just say: Take your CLO!

Be well,
Karen
