The FDA in the US prohibits one saying essential oils are anti-bacterial, anti-viral etc... I reside elsewhere. This appears to be common knowledge in France, Germany, Egypt, Japan, England, Turkey, China, India etc. Is the rest of the world crazy? Why did essential oils not die a natural death centuries ago if they did not work? Oh, well, I don't profess to understand ... My tom cat purrs as I put oils on his pussy punctures and wounds... Oregano keeps military surgical theatres cleaner in Russia that standard medical air and scrub down procedures. It's easy for everyday folks... Use on feet or in capsules... Different chemical constituents have different attributes. They can rebuild depleted immune systems. As far as I'm concerned, flu is a non issue. And put a Dr. Emoto sign on your CS water bottle. Intent counts. Christine

It isn't the virus that invades our body, it's our body's inability or capability to fight it off. Now I'm not saying throw oneself into a lepre colony. But if one is taking CS before, during and after I would suspect that it will ward off whatever new pademic is lingering around. I would also suspect that the "media" thrives off sensationalism which inturn will blow up any issue of concern at hand to create the situation to sell their story. So should we all now go out and get a vacine against this one too? :-) This situation could e worse or...could be minor in comparrison. This is why I stay away from reading or watching the news. Yes many more will probably die in comparrision. Hospital is the least safest place to stay when sick. It is usually the last stop before checking out. I don't want to sound cynical. But look at the food menu, that should give you a big hint. Right up there with airline food. Just a thought. E. I don't know if this has been discussed here and the archives are down. The media here in Toronto are giving a lot of attention to Avian flu. It's my opinion that if they are really splashing it around, it's much worse than they're saying, which is hugely bad! A friend of mine who works in a hospital is being told that many more people will die, relative to the Sars numbers. I realize that we are all responsible for healthy living, e.g. keeping our immune system functioning well, but they are saying that this pandemic will harm mostly the elderly and young children. Is CS affective against this virus and if so, before or after the fact? thanks Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page <http://us.rd.yahoo.com/evt=34442/*http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs>
