Reality-Check on AVIAN - by Ni Zain

So, now Bird Flu has come to Bali? Now? Well, seams like around 6 months ago some people died already in Candidasa area and the island gossip said it was already Avian. Fact is also, that I have see poultry dying around my last house around a year ago. Quite at the time when they found around 200 ducks which illegal came to Bali. Some sort of transimigrasi if you know what I mean. They killed the 200, but who knows how many ducks got "lost" on their way from Java?

I talked to some Chinese people about Avian. They all told me the same story: Bird flu has been reported for more than 500 years in China. 500 years ago, guess they could not tell that the sick birds made people die??? Even 50 years ago I doubt that in the remote Asian areas anybody was testing humans after they died if they got sick from the birds. For me this is a part of the prove that it has been around so long, that it had enough time to develop into humans. So why should it now?

Fact is also, that there are many people making incredible money from the fear of Avian. Millions of dollars are made in labs, via vaccination, treatments... Who would be interested to tell people they don't have to worry?

Do you have to worry? Okay, this is a bit more complex to answer. My first answer would be NO. But than... okay, there we are again. First of all the best protection is a strong immune system. And no, you not getting a strong immune system if you live on candies, sugar, soft drinks, instant noodles and white rice. Than, yes, that I have to tell you, you have to worry a bit. If you have each day lots of fruits, vegetables and whole food, than you are quite on the save side. If you stay organic, if you avoid toxins in your life and take care of your well being, that, than you will be fine. But if you just don't care, you work 20 hours a day, drink a good amount of alcohol, smoke, eat junk food and get each new product for cleaning you saw on TV, watch to much TV, never go in the sun, than, yes than, I would be a bit concerned about you. So, now if you live in a country side area, you have chickens around you. They make their little businesses around your place. Can also happen one is in the kitchen. Just on top where you cutting your lunch. And your child is crawling on the floor with the chickens. Well, than I have to tell you, you might be even in risk. Lets say now, you just killed a chicken for lunch and your baby is running straight to the road - just about 5 meter to go. You going to catch it and take him in your arms. You forgot about the chicken. Sure. You just saved your baby from a motorcycle. You and your baby are a little bit crying after the shock. You take your skirt and clean his face from the tears. Sure you forgot you cleaned you fingers on the skirt while cutting the chicken, your baby is crying. Than, I would say... YOU ARE REALLY AT HIGH RISK.

You think I am joking? No. This is reality. I saw it many times even before the bird flu. It happens all over Indonesia, all over Asia hundreds of times every day. - When I was young my mom always made sure that after we cut meat - especially chicken - we wash our hands, knifes, cutting boards with lots of soap and HOT water. She was really though on it. But she was right. Unfortunately here in Indonesia this practice is completely unknown. I saw people cutting chickens with the same knife and cutting board as they cut vegetables. Perhaps even fruit. This is were the danger really sits.

The hygienic standards are to low. No proper education has been done is this area. You cannot blame people for not knowing. But you can blame an education system and TV for not educating people basic standards. As I have a long history of being a chief, I learned, that if you don't work clean in your kitchen, you really can make people sick. If you add a farm to the kitchen, that you get the point why Indonesia has such a high rate of dead from Avian. No vaccination is needed. I even believe that the vaccination of people has an impact of the spread of Bird Flu, as vaccination has on many other disease. Education in hygienic and nutrition is the answer to the Bird Flu. 30000 kids died from Measles in Indonesia last year. Are they not all vaccinated anyway? We know that vaccinations do not protect 100%. We know that after vaccinations some viruses, such as Polio, have a sudden rapid increase. Education in hygienic and nutrition is the answer to the Bird Flu. How many people died from Bird Flu over the last years? I think I remember 120. The problem sits somewhere else... Are you getting this?

An additional point is that we ALL should not eat chicken anyway. It is against our genetic. It does not go well with our systems. Chicken is just easy to keep, easy to kill, easy to cook. It is just such an easy food to produce. But together with sugar, wheat and corn it is one of the most unhealthiest foods we human can eat. And together with sugar, wheat and corn one of the most used foods in the world! What a paradox! For me the Bird Flu, and all the hysteria about it, is only to show us: KEEP YOUR FINGERS AWAY FROM CHICKEN! But nobody seams to get the message.... Chicken is junk food! Not just because of the Bird Flu. Stay vegetarian with an occasional egg, to reduce chicken breading and Bird Flu spread.

Around 15 years ago a nasty German man was getting a law sentence for treating animals really bad. He was not allowed to keep any animal anymore until the rest of his life. - Guess what? He was a the biggest chicken producer of Germany... It would be nice if the story would end here...But... His son - another nasty German man - has or had (I am not updated on this) a chicken farm in Oregon/USA. This farm had more than 200000 chicken in stock! I saw a film about this farm. The neighbors in an area of 15 kilometers around the farm could not open any window anymore, as the smell was so horrible and they had MILLIONS of flies. Most of them left the area. It was one of the most horrible things I saw and heard in my life. The floor of the farm - means under the chicken - was 2 meter high full of chicken dirt. It never got cleaned out. The chickens were looking horrible. I could not imagine that anybody would eat such a chicken. The day after the film I stopped eating chicken. Every time I see a chicken farm I remember this film. And... I have seen farms in Indonesia, Spain and other places. Even free ranged chicken farms. Non ever made me eating chicken again!

So, to bring it all to the point. Keep away from birds, keep your fingers clean, eat a rich and healthy diet, use natural-holistic medicine, avoid stress, take a regular rest and use regularColloidal Silver - which has been proven to cure Avian, means it also protects you from Avian if you use it regular. If your children playing outside your house - make sure they don't mess up with the chickens. Make sure they get a good bath after playing. Make sure your family is healthy, than... YOU DON'T NEED TO WORRY. Other ways we all would be already dead by now! Let logic win over money making!
