Swine Flu: Media, Medicine & Natural Health Perspectives | Print |
By Edward Bauman, M.Ed., Ph.D.

The Swine Flu outbreak of Spring 2009 created a media circus and nightly news horror movie
with all of us as supporting actors (without pay).
THE PLOT: A new molecule of mass destruction is released from our neighbor to the South, comprised of a deadly mix of bird, human, and swine flu, and the phenomenon is described as pandemic. Mass fear is engendered and panic-driven questions are raised. Is this microbial Katrina stoppable? Can we find a vaccination in time? Are there enough respiratory protective masks to go around? Could this be the fulfillment of a biblical prophecy related to eating animals with cloven hooves, a symptom of bad animal husbandry, biological warfare... is it all, some, or none of the above?
