FREE DVD: Swine Flu Pandemic by Dr. Michael Greger

[Guest guest]

Free swine flu DVD

 

The World Health Organization (WHO) maintains that billions of people may become

infected with swine flu.[1] " This virus travels at an unbelievable, almost

unheard of speed, " the WHO Director-General was quoted as saying last week.[2]

The " most worrying fact, " according to the Director-General, is " that 40 percent

of the fatalities concern young adults -- in good health -- who die of a viral

fever in five to seven days. " [3]

 

In light of the current situation, last week I released my latest presentation

It looks like we may be in for a tough flu season this year. While the focus is

understandably on mediating the impact of the current pandemic, by exploring its

roots we may be able to lower the risk of future emergences of such viruses.
