Bird Flu suspected - as two swans found dead in Poland

The remains of two swans found dead in Poland are undergoing tests to determine whether they had the H5N1 strain of bird flu.

If confirmed, it would mark the country's first case of the disease.

Initial tests have already shown the birds, found near the northern city of Torun, died from the H5 virus.

Polish authorities have been watching out for bird flu after outbreaks of H5N1 were reported across Europe in recent weeks.

The H5N1 strain can be caught by humans who handle infected birds, but is not yet known to have passed from one person to another.

Scientists have warned if it mutates, H5N1 could create a pandemic that could kill millions of people.

Destination detox

There is nothing, it seems, that European women would rather spend a great deal of money on than getting away from it all at a spa or health farm and as correspondent Caroline Wyatt discovers, the bill is often as painful as the rather intrusive treatments.

"Maharishi Ayurveda spa, Bad Ems, Germany
The health centre boasts more than 10,000 satisfied customers"

The brochure had a photo of a luxurious hotel, and all the buzzwords: revitalising, rejuvenating.

A detox. Well, I was not sure about a detox.

I like to tox, and I think my liver and kidneys do an admirable job, considering the challenges.

Apparently, the Maharishi Ayurveda spa offered daily full-body massages, with hot oil dribbled over the entire body, rubbed in by two people simultaneously.

I booked straightaway.

The name Maharishi rang a vague bell, but I could not think why.

The brochure had a picture of the man himself - the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi - an Indian with a serene other-worldly expression and a long white beard.

I began to suspect all might not be quite what I expected when the health check questionnaire arrived from the spa a few days later.

It seemed utterly fixated on matters of a deeply personal nature. Namely my digestion.

More specifically, the exit.

How often? What did it look like? Colour? Consistency?

The questions were all of an equally personal nature.

I discovered that many Germans were rather obsessed with these matters when I worked as a geriatric nurse in Munich in my early 20s, and to my horror found out why German toilets had ledges.

So that each production could be examined in detail.

"Cat owners" don't let your pets stray into areas affected by bird flu, says French Prime Minister

French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin has urged cat owners not to let their pets stray into areas affected by bird flu.

The advice comes after a dead cat tested positive for the lethal H5N1 strain of the virus in Germany.

The domestic cat, found on the virus-hit Baltic island of Ruegen, was the first EU mammal to die of bird flu.

France is already vaccinating thousands of free-range poultry after 15 wild swans were found to have H5N1.

"Adhering to the principle of precaution, cat owners are asked not to let them stray in zones where the H5N1 virus has been detected," Mr de Villepin said at his monthly press conference.

Deadly bird flu spreads to Niger

Niger has become the third African country to have confirmed cases of the deadly strain of bird flu, experts say.

Test results have confirmed several cases of the H5N1 virus, said the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE).

Niger, one of the world's poorest countries, has a long border with Nigeria, where bird flu has killed thousands of chickens.

No human cases of the H5N1 strain have yet been found in Africa but the UN has warned of a possible regional disaster.

The H5N1 strain was found in domestic ducks near Nigeria's border, the OIE said.

"We've been officially informed that the presence of the virus has been notified on the sample from Niger but we are waiting for official documents to know... what type of strain it is," said Niger's government spokesman Mohamed Ben Omar.

China on bird flu alert as spring closes in

China could suffer a "massive" outbreak of bird flu this spring, the Chinese agriculture minister has said.
The minister, Du Qinglin, was speaking to parliamentarians after China reported two new human cases of the potentially lethal H5N1 strain.

Officials are worried that wild birds will infect farm poultry as they return from their winter migration.

"We must remain on a high-level alert in all areas ... and step up prevention and control work," the minister said.

"The possibility of a massive bird flu outbreak cannot be ruled out," Mr Du said in a briefing to MPs.

In 2005, China was hit by more than 30 outbreaks of bird flu.

In their efforts to bring the epidemic under control, authorities have slaughtered more than 23 million birds and embarked on a massive vaccination drive.

A special prepartion of Procaine resulting in GH3

A special preparation of Procaine, which Dr. Ana Aslan called GH3. Procaine has been proven to extend the life span of laboratory rats by 21%, as well as Nematodes, a kind of worm used for drug testing. Many people believe it extends the life of all cells, including those of human beings. This is backed up by Dr. Aslan's studies, which document an average of 29% increase in longevity with the use of GH3. GH3 also is useful in the treatment of depression in the elderly and in the treatment of arthritis, sexual impotence and elevated serum cholesterol.

Gerovital - How it plays a part in the anti aging process

Interest for staying young and avoiding the aging process is hot. A transformation in the paradigm which governs thinking about aging is taking place in the minds of many scientists in the field of gerontology. Until recently, in the minds of scientists (and even now in the minds of the lay public), aging has been seen as an absolutely unavoidable phenomenon, programmed into the genes. Now, aging is coming to be seen, at least in part, as a result of a kind of wearing down process which may be possible to prevent.

Gerovital-H3 as an anti-depressant

As people grow old, the brain undergoes macroscopic, microscopic, biochemical and electrophisiological changes. The number of neurons (nervous cells) decrease, dendridic changes occur (the link among cells), as well as neurofibrillas and plates (described by Marinescu and Block) appear in the nervous cells.

Gerovital-H3 has a certified antidepressive effect, especially in light and moderate depressive syndrome, thanks to its MAO-inhibitory effect. The antidepressive effect of Gerovital-H3 as well as the lack of any side effects can be accounted on the fact that it is a reversible and competitive-MAO inhibitor.

Bird Flu spreads to Germany

German Angela Merkel has termed as "serious" an outbreak of bird flu in the north of the country, as the lethal virus widens its reach worldwide.

Speaking during a visit to the affected Baltic Sea island of Ruegen, Mrs Merkel said her government would do everything in its power to contain bird flu.

German soldiers are being sent to the area to help contain the outbreak, and nearby poultry stocks have been culled.

The lethal H5N1 strain has killed at least 90 people since 2003.

France, India and Iran are the latest countries to report the presence of the deadly virus in dead birds.

It can be caught by humans who handle infected birds, but it is not yet known to have passed between people.

Scientists have warned that if the virus mutates it could create a pandemic that could kill millions of people.

In western India the strain was found among thousands of dead chickens at a farm, and health officials are testing eight people for possible infection.

France and Iran also reported their first H5N1 cases, following tests carried out on dead birds.

The strain has killed at least 90 people since it emerged in 2003.

It can be caught by humans who handle infected birds, but it is not yet known to have been passed between people.

Scientists have warned that if the virus mutates it could create a pandemic that would kill millions of people.

In India, H5N1 was found among the carcasses of about 50,000 chickens from a farm in western Maharashtra state.

Gerovital-H3 - Its regenerative effects

In 1956, Aslan brought forth her work "A new method for the prophylaxis and treatment of old age with Novacaine-Substance H3" at the institute of chemical physiology, Berne, Switzerland (1) and at the "Deutsche Therapiewoche" congress in Karlsruhe, Germany (2).

Since then, over the past 42 years, valuable literature on Gerovital-H3 has accumulated consisting of the confirmation of Aslan’s geriatric-method, and Gerovital-H3's regenerating and prophylactic actions.

Studies conducted by the National Institute in Bucharest and those carried on by other authors have pointed out the general action excerpted by Gerovital-H3 on the aging process, and its action on chronic diseases, the frequency of which increases with advancing age (3,4).

Clinically, Gerovital treated patients show more desire to live, diminished depression and anxiety, increased physical and intellectual capacities, diminished extrapyramidal rigidity, better skin, hair and nail trophicity, less senile spots and keratosis, growth and regimentation of the hair color, increased muscular strength and joint mobility and faster knitting of accidental fractures.

Bird Flu Facts - what you should know

The Disease In Birds: Impact And Control Measures

Avian influenza is an infectious disease of birds caused by type A strains of the influenza virus. The disease, which was first identified in Italy more than 100 years ago, occurs worldwide.

All birds are thought to be susceptible to infection with avian influenza, though some species are more resistant to infection than others. Infection causes a wide spectrum of symptoms in birds, ranging from mild illness to a highly contagious and rapidly fatal disease resulting in severe epidemics. The latter is known as "highly pathogenic avian influenza". This form is characterized by sudden onset, severe illness, and rapid death, with a mortality that can approach 100%.

Fifteen subtypes of influenza virus are known to infect birds, thus providing an extensive reservoir of influenza viruses potentially circulating in bird populations. To date, all outbreaks of the highly pathogenic form have been caused by influenza A viruses of subtypes H5 and H7.

What a Mother of 14 year old with low blood sugar says about Gerovital - GH3

"Our 14 year old daughter is using Gerovital-GH3 with wonderful results. She got sick last fall, lost weight, didn't have any appetite and felt weak. Till Christmas the Doctor told us she should quit school. All they could find wrong was (low blood sugar). We tried everything we knew, vitamins, tonics, chiropractor treatments and just everything we could think of, Still she made very little improvement , she looked very sick and pale. In March we discovered Gerovital so we started her on that, she made a big improvement in just a few days and is improving since. Her appetite got better and she is gaining weight. In just 6 weeks her low blood sugar was back to normal. After using it for 2 months she is doing any kind of hard work. Thanks to Gerovital"

What a young girl with MS says about Gerovital - GH3

"I feel I must write to tell you how my life has changed since taking GH3 supplements. I was struck down by Multiple Sclerosis at the age of 18 six years ago. My body was deteriorating month by month, my brain would not function properly, my legs often collapsed underneath me and when I opened my mouth to speak it didn't make sense. I was a really nasty person to live with.

I started taking GH3 supplements on the 9th of February and within two weeks began to feel better. My thinking became clearer, my legs have not given way since then and I am ahead of my studies. I go to parties and my Mother tells me I am an angel to live with, in fact it's like being reborn. Thank you for bringing me back to live a normal life."

What a US company president says about Gerovital GH3

"When first introduced to GH3, I was very sceptical as I have used other products before, and all have failed. After a person gets "burned" a few times, one just gives up. In meeting with you and your staff, my sixth sense was activated by the strength of your confidence in the product , and purchased a 3 month trial to test on my mother who has a severe case of Arthritis in her hands, and for myself for undue stress placed upon me as President of a corporation.

It was less than a week, when my mother informed me that not only has the pain left her hands, but she can now thread a needle and knot it. My mother is 84 and she has not threaded or knotted a needle for the past 8 years. She has stopped taking Tynol, Ben Gay and Heat, as she does not need them any longer. She also say's that she can even walk better, and I have been a witness to all improvements. Also the ringing in her ears have also reduced.

My experiences have been astronomical, as I am more cool headed, my memory has improved, and I feel better, quite better than ever before. The best is, I have had an ear infection for the past 6 months, and have seen 3 different physicians. Wearing an hearing aid was said to have caused some of the problems. I have been on numerous drugs, prescribed by each physicians, and have spent well in excess of $500 for office visits and drugs, and the problem remained since last week. Each can be verified by receipts and empty drug bottles. When GH3 arrived in December, I took 2 pills a day for about 2 weeks and felt improvements, but had to stop as new drugs were issued to me by my physician. My ear was draining constantly. I carried cotton swabs with me in my suit coat so as to wipe the liquids that drained from the ear.

Attending meeting, talking on the telephone and persuing my selling career was a great hardship on me, as the liquids draining would wipe out the sounds of the person I was talking to. Two weeks ago, after leaving the doctors office with a new prescription, I decided to put GH3 to work, as I have tried everything else and with no profound results. I took two tablets instead of one each time. The second day, my ear has stopped draining and the fullness around the ear lobe has left. The sounds of peoples voices are no longer muffled, and I can speak on the phone quite easily. I carry no more cotton swabs. I can't believe it, yet I am a walking specimen of what GH3 has done for me. I am more than happy with the results of GH3 and each day, I find new improvements taking place."
