Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and have been watching and

reading other posts for a while now. I have done a lot of research

on H5N1, mostly from a western medical perspective. I would like

discussion from you all from a perspective on

pathogen differentiation and treatment stratigies. I have talked to

a lot of other practitioners and I get the sense that no one really

has a firm handle on this. Some say it's a Wind Cold, some say it's

a hot pestilential evil. From what I've gathered, it starts as a WC

and quickly moves to the blood level. It seems signs and symptoms

often first manifest at a Yang Ming stage. I have been studying

Dr.Shubiti Darmanandas site and downloaded his paper on " Chinese

Medicines Response to Avian Influenza " . I found this helpful. I am

most concerned with the Cytokine cascade that causes massive

inflamation, internal hemmorage ARDS and respiratory failure. Onset

of S & S to death, in many cases is less than a week.

Recent genetic alteration in the H5N1 hemagglutinin gene have

occured that would lead to more efficient transmission of H5N1 to

humans. This genetic change was linked to H5N1 from migrating birds

flying into the Middle East and infecting birds indigenous to the

region already carrying another avian influenza sero-type, H9N2.On

January 19th, the scientific journal, Nature, summarized this

development and described ongoing research at the National Institute

of Medical Research (NIMR), in London, that identified the genetic

alteration, S227N (also called S223N)In late December 2005, the

first human infections by the Qinghai strain of H5N1 were reported

in Turkey. S227N was detected in the index case for that outbreak

with six additional cases confirmed four of whom died. " H5N1 is

migrating into areas where it is encountering unique influenza sero-

types it has not encountered while largely confined to Asia over the

past few years. This expanded geographical reach allows H5N1 to

exchange genetic material with novel donor sequences, which under

the appropriate selection pressures, enables the genetic changes to

become fixed in the genome of the virus. H5N1 is in the process of

acquiring genetic information that allows for more efficient

infections of humans " , said Recombinomics President, Dr. Henry Niman.

So how does CHM deal with this? Thanks for your time and thoughts.
