Ultrasound's New Focus - Can it eradicate tumors?
 
ETERNAL VIGILANCE IS THE PRICE OF HEALTH: Or, in the case of the mumps, which is now tearing through the heartland for the first time in decades, nine plane rides away. That's how many connecting flights it took for just two infected airline passengers, one flying out of Arizona, the other from Iowa, to apparently kick-start a new eight-state epidemic that has so far sickened 1,165 people. The outbreak serves as a grim reminder that vaccines aren't perfect and that despite modern medicine's advances, germs commonly associated with the early 20th century are still very much in the world. Related item here.

Chaos Feared In Pandemic Flu Plan--A flu pandemic would cause massive disruptions lasting for months, and cities, states and businesses must make plans now to keep functioning — and not count on a federal rescue, the Bush administration said Wednesday

http://www.thehighroad.org/showpost.php?p=2427743&postcount=79 --I'm a freelance writer, and I just finished ghostwriting an ebook on bird flu. I"ve been researching it for personal curiousity and here are my thoughts:

1. It's a very real threat. Yes, mind-boggling that it could infect up to 50% of Americans if it comes here AND if it goes human-to-human WITH a lethality rate of about 50%. Losing 1 out of 4 would make things come to a giant, screeching halt for a little while, tough thereafter. IMPORTANT: Just because, to my best intel, we dodged a bullet with Y2K and SARS, we should NOT get complacent and assume everything is overhyped B.S. Some is, some isn't. I don't think this is, but we'll see.

2. In the Spanish flu, people DID self-quarantine their towns and communities by using local militia and anyone they could to keep outsiders out. Generally, it worked well.

3. As of a few days ago, the CDC and WHO announced two worrisome facts: a) there are 4 avian flu viruses now with the potential to mutate and go human-to-human with disastrous effects, b) the virus has now mutated to survive well in warm, moist climates (look out, Houston.)

4. I'd rather be a year early than an hour late when the shelves start getting cleaned out. Those of you who've been through hurricanes know what I mean.

5. There's a major "scare the sheeple" TV movie coming out--I think it's May 7 or 9--on bird flu. Look for a SERIOUS dent in available preps for awhile after that.

6. All commercial canneries in the US are currently backordered 4-6 weeks on dehydrated food in good-sized quantities like #10 cans and the big 5-6 gallon pails. Mountain House, especially, due to large group buys.

7. The govt. knows more than it's letting on because nothing good will come of a panic.

8. I suspect this H5N1 flu virus may not be entirely natural. One of the UN's stated goals is population control (read: reduction.) How very convenient.

9. I also don't rule out a pretense for totalitarian martial law and control. Remember what Tommy Franks told us in that Cigar Afficionado interview, and substitute the word "pandemic" for "terror attack."

10. Regardless of who cooked this thing up or how, I'd suggest preparing.

STORING WATER: Do it the free way. Everytime I use a bottle that has a screw-on cap--water, soda, liquor, anything non-oil--I refill with tap water and add bleach at the rate of 1/2 eyedropper per 16 oz, and store out in the shade inside our barn.

The Swedish Anthrax Case

I missed this when it was posted at Gates of Vienna last Thursday, but according to a translated article from Denmark’s Jyllands-Posten, someone in Jordan wants to buy Swedish anthrax. link: 23 comments  "So, let me get this straight. Sweden has something with the grandiose title “Total Defense Research Institute,” and someone wrote to the institute on fake letterhead that a 14-year-old could crank out in three minutes, and asked them to please send some anthrax to a PO Box in Jordan, thank you very much?
