Two interesting stories relating to flu this week. Sometimes you just have to read these studies and laugh out loud. The first study was concerned that more children were not diagnosed properly and were "deprived" of flu medicine.

The researchers got this one completely screwed up. Not being diagnosed was one of the best things that could have happened to those children. Conventional medicine has absolutely no useful drugs for this illness -- nada, zero, zilch.

The only thing they can offer them are potentially dangerous potions that will only increase the coffers of the drug companies.

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: 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.

No, the best things for these kids is to go home and follow the guidelines I list at the end of the page, which will aid them far better in recovering from this illness than any medicine ever can. Will they get a fever? I sure hope so as fever is a major blessing in disguise and one of the ways that children develop healthy immune systems.

This is also consistent with the hygiene hypothesis that is now being supported by an increasing number of good studies. Acquiring these viral infections early in life is not a bad thing. It actually helps build children's immune systems much stronger and helps them radically decrease their risk of developing heart disease, allergies and asthma as they grow older.

The other story seems to be a repeat of two years ago when there was a flu vaccine shortage that caused some of these crazy scenarios:

• A number of states and the nation's capital threatened doctors and nurses with fines or even jail time if they gave flu vaccines to healthy people.

• In probably the most notorious spectacle of panic, one elderly woman died after standing in line for a flu shot at a grocery store in northern California for FIVE HOURS! With nowhere to sit, the 79-year-old woman fell as she walked to find shade, hitting her head on the pavement, and later died.

• The town of Bloomfield, N.J. held a lottery to find out who would receive one of the city's estimated 300 flu vaccines.

• In some cases, physicians were even taking verbal threats from patients. One particularly incensed patient blamed a Nebraska doctor for not being able to get a flu shot, and hoped she'd be happy "when I get sick and die because it will be your fault."

• In one case, patients weren't the only ones who were irate. Some 600 doses of vaccine were stolen from a pediatrician's office inAurora, Colo.

It is interesting to note that this flu vaccine shortage prediction came on the heels of an announcement that there would no vaccine shortage this year. However, that was before the FDA issued a warning letter to the primary flu vaccine producer.

My guess, though, is that they will turn their story around as we head toward winter and the flu vaccine shortage will "magically" reappear. Sure makes one wonder if this is not a creation of evil marketing geniuses to create more demand for this dangerous and unnecessary vaccine.

This wouldn't be unreasonable as when you carefully analyze the CDC's previous comments on flu deaths it is highly deceptive and gives one the impression that the flu is far more dangerous than it really is.

My book on a related topic, The Great Bird Flu Hoax, will be out in late August or early September. I am actually just finishing final edits on it now. It is an amazing expose on this topic and is loaded with many powerful insights.

Till then no need to worry because the flu is not a summer illness. Only seems to strike in the months when most people don't have access to enough healthy sunshine. When it does come you can always apply my flu guidelines below.
