Officials in Hong Kong have tried to quell the fears of people who feel that Bird Flu is extremely dangerous now that a Lab in Europe has synthesized a strain that can be transmitted from human to human when a young man died this weekend from Bird Flu.

The bus driver from Shenzhen is thought to have contracted his Bird Flu from contact with a bird, but they really don’t know. They only know that preliminary tests show that the strain that killed this fellow is similar to another strain that they’ve isolated from birds.

Bird Flu Virus Fear After Bus Driver Dies This Weekend

They hope that people don’t panic and believe that the public health authorities have everything under control, but is that actually the case now? They will tell you that it is impossible for humans to contract Bird Flu from other humans, but can you trust that claim when you know that a strain has been created in a Lab that does transmit between humans without the avian interface.

Epidemics spread very quickly when a viral agent can be transmitted from human to human or bird to human and then more humans. It’s doesn’t take much of a stretch to realize that it could happen now and the consequences would be alarming and potentially tragic.

Essentially there is a ‘designer virus’ in a Lab that men can manipulate and possibly use for ‘biological warfare’. It exists and that presents a problem of considerable importance. Now we wonder how secure that Lab and the strain is… Let’s hope they have it under complete control with honorable people who would not weaponize it.

Nature’s Lab does not typically generate a virus that jumps from one species to another, but it has happened in the past…it’s just uncommon. So it’s only natural to be watchful and continue to monitor what is happening around the world.

If 17,000 chickens were destroyed, that alerts us to the concern for the safety of the public’s health. It takes such actions to stop the spread of disease…

The fellow who died of massive organ failure was admitted to the hospital for seven days after he began to have a fever. It took only a week for the virus to ravage his body to the point of impending death.

If you are paying attention to what happens around the world, then you will understand why it is so vitally important to keep your Immune System strong and resilient. In TCM, we call this the anti-pathogenic factor of the Wei Chi. The Lung Meridian regulates the Wei Chi. A person who tends to maintaining the balance within the bio-energetic systems of their bodies might be exposed to a pathogen, but it will not go deeper when the Wei Chi is strong. There are traditional Chinese Herbal Formulations that acupuncturists are well aware of that support this measure of protection.
