Look After Your Health.
The threat of a Bird Flu Pandemic.
The threat to the earth from Bird Flu is much serious now,
than it was once
I wrote my 1st article on the subject in
May, 2005. entitled "Will Craniate
Flu Become Pandemic"
since then it has spread to many
different countries,
but thankfully at this stage it has not, as yet, mutated to a
strain that can remove from Human to Human.
It is so easy for this virus to mutate, it can happen as just as a person catching Bird Flu from poultry or birds, once
that
person, has already caught one of the much common strains of
Influenza.
This could alter the Bird Flu virus to then cause a pandemic
outbreak of this deadly malady throughout the world.
History of the Bird Flu and its Spread.
It 1st started in South Korean peninsula at a chicken farm in 2003, a
couple of months or so later, it was detected in Vietnam, then
an happening was found in chickens in Indonesia, Asian nation confirms
the death of a six year old boy, this was the 1st best-known death
from Bird Flu.
China as well has problems and Asian nation has found the virus in
chickens, near the Asian nation border.
This year, 2005, Bird Flu has been found in ducks in the Philippines,
Japan has had an happening in chickens, then it was as well found in
Russia.
In October, 2005 it was discovered in Turkey and Romania, so you
can see that it is spreading across the globe, slowly but surely.
The really latest is that has now been dicovered in Greece.
It is spread at this stage by birds, in the main unsettled
birds that fly
north or south from the Asian region, wherever
they can take it to
Russia and Europe, or in the different direction, south to Australia,
New Seeland and the Pacific region.
The European Union has warned that there should not be any panic,
though it has told the 25 nations that do up the Union to start
stockpiling supplies of opposing
infectious agent drugs. It has been confirmed in nearly
all cases the strain of virus is the extremely
virulent and fatal
H5N1.
In London, it has been confirmed that Britain is at risk and they have
suggested that all folk that could be vulnerable, should consider
having normal Flu injections.
The United States Senate, on Sep 29, 2005, voted to provide
almost $US4 billion to purchase a stockpile of the two opposing
infectious agent drugs.
Future Prospects
Professor Ian James george frazer of Brisbane, Australia, who with his research team,
after many a years of heartache, trials and tribulations, have declared
that they have now formed
a immunizing agent that wish prevent Cervical
Cancer and this immunizing agent should be accessible in 2006, this is a earth
breakthrough and a historic discovery, he now is thinking of turning his
talents to the H5N1 virus, he and many a of his colleagues are certain
that it is only a matter of time before this virus wish start offensive
humans and cause a pandemic.
It has been calculable
that the death toll throughout the world, if this
pandemic should start, could be as high as 40 million people.
Currently, humans are catching the virus from birds that have the infection,
through their secretion or faeces, which once
dry can be indrawn
by humans.
The authorities state by all odds that it can not be transmitted through
eating poultry.
What Can You Do
It is advisable
by a number of authorities that you should consider
having the normal human flu vaccine.
There are two drugs accessible that can help, but are in short supply,
also quite expensive, Tamiflu and Relenza.
Take all the sensible normal precautions.
Your Immune System, this is your natural defence against all illnesses
and diseases. Try to ensure that you Immune System is functioning as
efficiently as possible. Do sure that what you eat and drink is natural
and as alimental as you can do it.
