Any recommendations for treatment or preventive measures for the new bird flu predicted to become the latest pandemic? The drug being promoted has horrendous side effects.

Following – interesting question…

I do the same things with chickens for respiratory issues that I do for humans. Have a look at the Respiratory System lessons.
I usually just mix the herbs with their feed. Spraying a little water on the feed to make the powdered herbs stick is a good trick. You can also add herbs to water. Some garlic in the water or feed can be really good too.
Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.

What about if people start getting bird flu?

Flu is flu. The herbs don’t really care what flavor it is. Follow the same recommendations in the Respiratory Lessons. :0)

Doc or anyone: When I look in “The Body Systems – Anatomy, Physiology & Pathology” folder, I don’t see a “Respiratory System” lesson. There is a 4 part “Immune System & Lymphatics” though. Is it covered there?
There’s a separate section with “Formulas and Formulations”, which includes “Infectious Disease Formulas”
G Cubed: If you are looking for a quick answer, Stephen H. Buhner advises that Chinese skullcap root (Scutellaria baicalensis) with Licorice root (Glycyrrhiza glabra) “…should be considered the main antivirals to use for any viral infection.” pg 288 They are both broadly antiviral. He suggests not using any skullcap but S. baicalensis because the leaves that are typically used with S. laterifolia and others aren’t as strongly antiviral. However, some preliminary research shows that the roots of all the species have similar chemistry. p265
I don’t know if the Doc’s skullcap tincture simple uses the root or the leaves (or both), but I figure its better than nothing and I purchased it during the spring sale. Plus the licorice for Stephen’s advice plus its adaptogenic and immune amphoteric qualities.

Hi Lizabeth,
There are two pages of Body system lessons. If you scroll down to the bottom of the list, you’ll see the button to go to page two. Respiratory lessons are on page two (the list is alphabetical). :0)
Here are the links though.

Oops, neglected to add: both the Doc in his formulations notes and Stephen H. Buhner note that there are thousands of combinations of plant medicines that can be created to treat respiratory infections. Besides the Docs formulas and Mr. Buhner’s, you can do a search on PubMed or elsewhere for antiviral herbs.
