Health Issues
Big Ag and Big Pharma are interested in profit, not public health, and their lobbyists fight to protect their corporate interests, not consumer interests. OCA advocates for a sustainable, integrative healthcare system with an emphasis on prevention, nutrition, wellness promotion, and freedom of choice in healthcare for everyone.
What with all the talk of "bird flu" these days working to build a strong and responsive immune system can help alleviate stress concerning this public health threat and help you live a healthier life no matter what happens with this or other health issues. Of course there are the basics, a healthy diet of whole grain, organic food, supplemented with vitamins minerals and herbs. Adequate rest and Read more
In our efforts to streamline farming practices to produce more meat for more people, we have inadvertently created conditions by which a harmless parasite of wild ducks can be converted into a lethal killer of humans. University researcher E.F. Torrey.(1)

How does naturally occurring, innocuous waterfowl flu mutate into virulent, highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI)?
According to the World Health Organization's 2005 assessment of the pandemic threat, HPAI viruses aren't born, they're made. "Highly pathogenic viruses have Read more

Conclusions
The many types of integration between fish and poultry farming clearly present opportunities for the dissemination of AI viruses through poultry faeces. There is, however, no firm information that AI has been disseminated in this way, but this possible means of transmission should be considered when interpreting outbreaks of AI in wild and domestic birds at water bodies.
The long distance transportation of poultry products for incorporation into fish feed, or already incorporated into exported fish feed, could provide
Read moreThe real solution to the bird flu (or any flu) comes from natural sources. To survive most viral infections, all you really need are certain nutritional supplements and powerful medicinal herbs. As Dr. Russell Blaylock explains, "With nutritional supplementation, the elderly can avoid flu vaccination altogether. In my own clinical experience, supplementation dramatically reduces the incidence of ALL viral infection. And should that person become infected with a particularly virulent strain, the severity of the illness is dramatically reduced. This protection also includes such diseases as
