Guest guest Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Further looking into this Spanish Rhino Jewish connection I found this little tidbit... ;-) from http://www.relfe.com/sars2disease_flu.html The medical term " rhino virus " is from the Greek word " rhino " meaning the " nose " and refers to a viral infection of the nasal membranes which we normally call a cold. The medical term " influenza " comes from the Spanish word " influence. " This comes from the times of the Crusades in the middle ages when armies of knights from western Europe, mostly England, France, Spain and Germany, first came into contact in the Middle Eastern Holy Land with merchant camel caravans from far Asia, carrying with them not only trade goods but many cases of pig-goose viral infections from China. The viral infections were probably in dried form on the Asian cloth and trade goods, which only needed to be moistened to become re-activated. The Europeans had no clue where the deadly disease causing viral pneumonia and swift death was coming from. It was named and identified by the medieval Spanish doctors as the " Influenza de Diablo " or Influence of the Devil. Today we simply call it the flu. What this shows is that the Spanish did not know how to cure coughs and colds by allowing fevers, and that the Chinese farming technique of raising pigs and geese, creating new influenza viruses has been going on for thousands of years. But in those days it took over a year for new diseases to travel from Asia to Europe by camel train. Today by jet a new pig-goose flu virus can travel from central China to New York City in less than 24 hours. , Yehuda L Frischman <@j...> wrote: > > On Nov 30, 2004, at 12:12 PM, Yehuda L Frischman wrote: > > > There happened to be an > > orchestra conductor who was a secret Jew, and so he arranged to have > > the > > Barcelona symphony perform specifically on Rosh Hashana, when there is > > a > > Jewish religious imperative to sound a ram's horn.
