Mexican Swine Flu Pandemic: Legitimate Fear or Laughable Farce?

Uh oh. Bring out the surgical masks for another round of deadly worldwide pandemic that will never pan out. Get ready for a new flu vaccine that will supposedely “save” millions.

Honestly, this is ridiculous. Remember the Avian flu outbreak in 2005? Yes, that was a big hoax. In fact it gave Gilead Sciences, Inc. the opportunity to make billions by developing a drug called Tamiflu.

What drug will the swine flu spawn? What form of death will some pharmaceutical company create, all in the name of “saving lives?”

So far, over 100 are dead, with 1400 cases reported in Mexico. So far it has spread to the United States and Canada, and maybe even as far as New Zealand.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has activated its 24-hour “war room” command center.

The yen and the dollar rose, while the value of the peso fell.

I don’t know if it’s just me or not, but when, exactly, has the peso been worth anything ever? This is news?

Again, I say this is all ridiculous.

But then again, maybe this is an opportunity.

Maybe this is an opportunity to educate people about strengthening their immune systems. Maybe this is the chance to tell people how chiropractic kept from becoming a lost art thanks to the flu outbreak of 1917-1918.

Here are some statistics given by Walter R. Rhodes, DC that were published in 1978 by the Texas Chiropractic Association:

-“In Davenport, Iowa, 50 medical doctors treated 4,953 cases, with 274 deaths. In the same city, 150 chiropractors including students and faculty of the Palmer School of Chiropractic, treated 1,635 cases with only one death.”

-“In the state of Iowa, medical doctors treated 93,590 patients, with 6,116 deaths – a loss of one patient out of every 15. In the same state, excluding Davenport, 4,735 patients were treated by chiropractors with a loss of only 6 cases – a loss of one patient out of every 789.”

-“National figures show that 1,142 chiropractors treated 46,394 patients for influenza during 1918, with a loss of 54 patients – one out of every 886.”

-“Reports show that in New York City, during the influenza epidemic of 1918, out of every 10,000 cases medically treated, 950 died; and in every 10,000 pneumonia cases medically treated 6,400 died. These figures are exact, for in that city these are reportable diseases.”

-“In the same epidemic, under drugless methods, only 25 patients died of influenza out of every 10,000 cases; and only 100 patients died of pneumonia out of every 10,000 cases.”

-“In the same epidemic reports show that chiropractors in Oklahoma treated 3,490 cases of influenza with only 7 deaths. But the best part of this is, in Oklahoma there is a clear record showing that chiropractors were called in 233 cases where medical doctors had cared for the patients, and finally gave them up as lost. The chiropractors saved all these lost cases but 25.”

Let’s turn this pseudo-pandemic into a patient education opportunity. Specifically adjusting Atlas will allow the body’s Innate Intelligence to take over and fortify itself against things like swine flu or avian flu. But people won’t know about it unless we tell them.

Let’s get out and educate some people!
