FIGHTING CORONAVIRUS COVID-19. At least we get a better deal than animals who get an infection!

If anyone believes we are facing difficult times because of coronavirus COVID-19, with the unreasonable constraints on social life, the destruction of job, livelihoods, and the economy, and the full frontal attack on human rights and liberty - we may need to think again. Animals with an infection get a much worse deal.

This BBC article (published 5th November 2020) concerns Bird Flu. There has been an outbreak of bird flu in two poultry farms in Holland and "the Dutch authorities are racing to contain it". There have been similar outbreaks in chickens, and wild birds in north Germany.

The treatment for this outbreak of influenza is to cull, to slaughter, the birds! A farm in the Dutch town of Puiflijk, and another nearby, have been told to cull 200,000 chickens. One farm in Frodsham, England, has had to cull 13,000 birds; another in Kent has also been ordered to slaughter the birds.

And the article goes on to state that Germany's worst bird flu outbreak was in 2016-1027, "when more than 900,000 birds were culled".

So whatever difficulties we may experience during this current lockdown, at least we are not being culled or slaughtered. So perhaps we should think ourselves lucky - perhaps.

Or perhaps we should begin to ask ourselves what sort of medical system is it that is quite unable to deal with outbreaks of viral infections - with birds, animal, humans or anything else? I have asked the question before.

Veterinary medicine and Avian Flu. What good is it if it has to kill the patients? Mass slaughter is not medicine!

Veterinary Medicine kills Badgers as a Treatment for Bovine TB. How sensible is this?

Veterinary Medicine. A monopoly occupation that kills its patients

So although our lives have certainly been damaged, in so many ways, by government policy, informed by conventional medical science, we should perhaps consider ourselves lucky pharmaceutical medicine has not been allowed to cull us.

Lockdown does not work. 

This is becoming clearer as the days and months pass. Lockdown is necessary only because conventional medicine (on its own admission) has no effective treatment. Lockdown is the only alternative conventional medicine has to effective medical treatment. And note: lockdown is necessary, not for us, but to "save the NHS"; that is, to save an organisation which is dominated and controlled by pharmaceutical medicine. Without lockdown the NHS would be overwhelmed - because it has no treatment - because each individual contracting the virus either has to overcome it through his/her natural immunity - or die.

It is a hopeless situation; and will continue to be a hopeless situation until we work out what is happening, and why it is happening.

It all has to do with the failure of conventional medicine, something I have argued and written about in detail.

But let us be thankful too. 

At least we are not poultry, or cows, or badgers ....

.... that would be a fate equal to death!

 

The demise of antibiotics. A blessing in disguise?

Resistance to antibiotics have reached a stage when they will soon be totally ineffective. As antibiotics are conventional medicine's main drug, their most magic of 'magic bullets' for the past 70 years, doctors are beginning to warn us about Armageddon. How will they be able to respond to infection? How will they be able to continue operating on patients, and still keep control of any resulting infection.

The imminent failure of antibiotics is, of course, the fault of doctors. They have so few drugs that are effective they have used them too much, even with illnesses that do not respond to them - and doctors were aware that the illness would not respond to antibiotics.

The conventional medical establishment has also been reluctant to admit the serious and devastating damage that has been caused by antibiotic drugs. Indeed, they have probably refused to observe and understand the damage they have been causing, and certainly refused to tell patients. I have written about this in many previous blogs, including these two:

          Antibiotics. Not as safe as we have been told?

          Antibiotics. The failure of ConMed's wonder drug.

So is the demise of antibiotics an unmitigated disaster? Or can something positive come from this latest failure of conventional, drug-based medicine? First, though, the 'success' of antibiotics have to be placed in perspective.

• Many people continue to die from a variety of infections diseases throughout the world. The 'charity' of the pharmaceutical companies begins at home - where profits can be made. In the developing, and third world's, they have less impact
• Antibiotics are expensive, slow to produce, difficult to distribute and administer. Their use in the emerging economies has therefore been slow.
• Above all, they have produced some serious side effects, about which the conventional medical establishment remains persistently silent.

The Homeoplus website has suggested a future direction for dealing with infections, one that is already being used in many other countries, with outstanding success. As it says, homeopathy first rose to prominence through its effective treatment and prevention of diseases such as cholera and typhoid in the 19th century. Something of this history, the successful treatment of infections without antibiotics, can be seen in this Homeoplus article.

Homeopathic remedies exist for all epidemic diseases. And, as Homeoplus says, governments throughout the world are aware of this, and they are making use of them.

• The Indian government controls epidemics of malaria, Japanese encephalitis, dengue fever, and epidemic fever with homeopathy.
• The Cuban government now depends on homeopathy to manage its leptospirosis epidemics and dengue fever outbreaks.
• The Brazilian government funded two large trials that successfully reduced the incidence of meningococcal disease in those given the homeopathy prophylactic.
• The governments of Thailand, Colombo and Brazil use homeopathy to manage dengue fever outbreaks and epidemics.

So the solution to the failure of antibiotics is readily available to us. Whether the conventional medical establishment will have the magnanimity to recognise its own failure, and to look to homeopathy (which it has long lambasted) is quite another matter!
