RE: tightening the screws, Now sweating.

[Guest guest]

I waded through the article and found what I thought was a most interesting

point - the concept of combating cold viruses by producing a mild fever and

raising the temperature above 101F - citing traditional uses of sauna's,

steam baths, and sweat lodges. I might also throw in one my favorites - the

hot rum toddy. But for TCM fans - can you say Gui Zhi Tang?

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.
