I guess if you can�t do anything, you might as well do something, even if that�s just some superstitious voodoo. Of course just washing your hands and not coughing on people works too.

Wash my hands and don't cough on people? The hell you say lol

Actually, don't think for one minute that westernized medicine is the sole supplier of cures.
Laugh all you want but several of our modern medicines are synthesized from the very herbs and plants the Native Peoples used, and still use, to treat illnesses.

consistantly taking action produces better result on average than sitting around doing nothing.

I was wondering how much bear bile or other endangered species this will take, but this is Natives, not Chinese. I guess they only really care in they can't get an erection.

Im sorry dried pine needles wont do shit, I would take Chemo over 'natural' cancer meds anyday.

Also its just the fucking flu!!!!

No worse or better then your adverage flu.

I have heard indications that the H1N1 strain is a bit more contagious but less deadly than the standard flu strains. Anyone hear anything similar?

Oh, and if they work, use your traditional methods. Just don't force me to follow along.

[Guy_Fawkes]

I have heard similar stuff, but Im going with the idea that it is just like the common flu only it can infect pigs.

Traditional methods are probably just as effective as placeboes.

I'm not suggesting dried pine needles will cure the flu or anything else. I'm suggesting we shouldn't just offhandedly dismiss anything that doesn't come from big pharma.
Now, when it comes to cancer? Yeah, chemo me up and fuck the leaves and bark stuff.

And ASLplease, have you ummm read the ingredients for the flu vaccine? IF that's producing results, our standards have gone to shit.

Oh FYI, accupressure and accupuncture are real and yes, they DO work.

Are you hooked 24/7 to a IV bottle and get all the chemicals, protiens and nutrients your body need injected into you or do you use more traditional methods methods for sustenance such as eating food?
