Flu Drugs Don't Work

February 04, 2006 | 10,646 views

A study indicates that Tamiflu and Relenza, the two antiviral flu drugs intended to be lynchpin of the world-wide defense against the flu, are ineffective against seasonal flu outbreaks, and may not be sufficient to combat an epidemic or pandemic.

The study suggested additional measures such as masks, gowns, gloves, quarantine and hand washing should an epidemic occur.

Tamiflu's maker, Roche, disagreed with the study's findings, and recommended that Tamiflu should still be used even for seasonal influenza.

The flu has increasingly become a concern worldwide as the possibility of an avian flu pandemic has loomed in the public mind.

Vaccines have traditionally been the first line of defense against seasonal flu, but antiviral drugs such as Tamiflu and Relenza have been used with greater and greater frequency.

Their use, however, is potentially problematic; both Tamiflu and Relenza, for example, actually increase viral shedding from the nose, which could worsen a pandemic.

 

Dr. Mercola's Comments:

The sky is not falling and the great bird flu epidemic isn't coming either. My new book The Great Bird Flu Hoax: The Truth They Don't Want You to Know About the "Next Big Pandemic" explains in a clear and compelling manner the real science that proves this is the hoax of our century. The Great Bird Flu Hoax exposes the truth including:

The Great Bird Flu Hoax
  • How and why the mainstream media has deceived you about the bird flu (and why they're not talking about the far more serious threats to your health)

  • The real culprit in the spread of bird flu (it's not what they are saying it is!)

  • Who is profiting most from the bird flu panic (and why they're intentionally diverting attention away from true public health issues)
  • Why any bird flu vaccine is virtually guaranteed to fail (after billions of dollars are paid to key pharmaceutical giants just to stockpile worthless drugs) ...

  • How the bird flu scare is similar to previous alarms that never materialized (remember swine flu, Ebola, SARS, anthrax and 'mad cow' disease?) ...

  • The one common risk factor that nearly everyone infected with the bird flu has (you probably don't have it, but they don't want you to know this) ... And much, much more ...

More importantly, The Great Bird Flu Hoax exposes what you should REALLY be worried about (truths that have a profound impact on the health and safety of you and your loved ones) and provides you with health solutions to optimize your immune system ... so you need not worry about bird flu hype or about the real health threats such as cancer, heart disease and other genuine health issues.

Not long ago, I told you about the higher-than-expected resistance to Tamiflu, a weapon in the so-called fight/hoax against the avian flu. Now we have further confirmation of my earlier assertions that both Tamiflu and Relenza, part of the neuraminidase inhibitor class of antivirals, are completely ineffective against avian and human flu strains.

In addition to the debatable use of such worthless drugs in a pandemic, researchers suggested other safer preventatives, no doubt very familiar to you, such as washing your hands.

As you can imagine, drugmaker Roche didn't take the news very well, particularly after donating some 2 million doses to the World Health Organization. Roche's response was predictable, hiding behind the cloak of conventional medicine and its FDA approval.

Fact is, you don't need health-harming drugs to strengthen your immune system, if you follow my effective flu protocol:

Remember this is all for a pandemic that will likely never materialize. If you are in need of further convincing that this all just hype, I urge you to read my new book, The Great Bird Flu Hoax: The Truth They Don't Want You to Know About the "Next Big Pandemic". Citing real science, my new book proves unequivocally that Bird Flu is indeed the biggest hoax of our time. It's available right now at a special low price!
