SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome):

A Great Global SCAM

Author of thirteen books including the national bestseller, Emerging Viruses: AIDS & Ebola - Nature, Accident or Intentional? and Death in the Air: Globalism, Terrorism and Toxic Warfare

Abstract

Rather than a public health emergency, the 'Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome', generally called SARS, is best diagnosed as a Sickening and Repulsive Scam. This article argues that this unprecedented viral attack is, alternatively, an ingenious social experiment featuring institutionalized bioterrorism for widespread psycho-social control. The outcome of this experiment, whether it leads to population reduction or not, depends on you.

Background

You are about to read much neglected truths pertaining to this bizarre new pneumonia-like illness called SARS. Authorities explain this acronym for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome as simply the latest threat in an ongoing series of attacks on humanity by mysteriously mutating 'super-germs' Yet, a careful study of this multi-disciplinary subject  reveals something amiss far more insidious and deadly than SARS. This spreading scourge of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome stretching from Asia to North America has all the earmarks of a novel social experiment in population manipulation aimed to culture the mass mind for the arrival of 'the Big One' a biological agent that will facilitate decimation of approximately a third to half of the world's population, in keeping with current official population reduction objectives.

Naturally you would be disinclined to believe the above sentence. Open-mindedness in this domain threatens exposure to a 'Twilight Zone' of knowledge in which reality is far stranger than fiction. Your first instinct, therefore, might be to close this page in favor of the next SARS site that promises more of the standard treatments broadcast on every official news page and government report on this subject. But, if you choose to have your worldview shattered by considering the little known truths surrounding Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, then continue reading. . . .

No great epidemic has ever evolved divorced from major socio-political upheaval.

Introduction

My name is Dr. Leonard Horowitz, and I will be your SARS tour guide on this website. As a Harvard graduate in public health, and expert in the fields of medical sociology, behavioral science, and emerging diseases, I am best known for my work exposing the man-made origin of HIV/AIDS in the national bestselling book, Emerging Viruses: AIDS & Ebola”Nature, Accident or Intentional? (Tetrahedron Press, 1998; 1-888-508-4787; http://www.healthyworlddistributing.com/detail.aspx?ID=4) This was my tenth book that American grassroots activists, medical physicians and scientists included, made a national bestseller. U.S. Government documents that I reprinted for the first time for the world to see were strong endorsements for this work. Included here are stunning and tragic contracts under which numerous AIDS-like and Ebola-like viruses were bioengineered by the U.S. Army's 6th leading biological weapons contractor ”Litton Bionetics”a medical subsidiary of the mega-military weapons contractor called Litton Industries. You can get free information on this man-made vaccine-transmitted theory of AIDS at http://www.originofAIDS.com. Here I focus your attention on SARS, and what mainstream sources of information are withholding about this new pandemic.

This narrative was written immediately following my return from Total Health 2003 an  alternative medical conference in Toronto, Canada, held March 27-30, 2003. I landed in Toronto the day that SARS began dominating front page headlines in every major newspaper in the country. Five consecutive days of unprecedented media blitz in Canada's largest city over the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome left the entire population frightened and bewildered.

Having been well-trained in media health promotion and persuasion methods from my behavioral science studies at Harvard University, I concluded that something akin to a social experiment was underway. With SARS, people were being frightened beyond reason, I realized. The classic definition of phobia was being manifested on a social, if not global, scale.

Surely the SARS death rate, approximately 3%, was insufficient cause for such widespread panic. The media successfully whipped the Canadian population into a trembling mass of masked and quarantined 'sheeple.' Officials were forced to direct the closing of hospitals, restaurants, schools, and workplaces with only two deaths reported at the onset of the media onslaught. Within a few days, more than a thousand healthcare workers volunteered for home quarantine because of SARS. Otherwise, they faced legal arrest and incarceration as advised by the World Health Organization. You will find many of these reports from Canada's daily newspapers, documenting these facts, as well as incoming American press reports, in the archive files of this website.

Mission

I have dedicated this website to examining the social and political implications, as well as the correlates (i.e., things related to) and antecedents (i.e., factors or events that predated or precipitated) this new SARS pandemic. By examining this illness's etiology, which lies more in the realm of global politics, corporate profits, and population control, than elsewhere, this information offers educated people an alternative to the fright and irrational behaviors promulgated by 'mainstream' propagandists including news sources and health officials better known as 'spin doctors.'

Most intelligent persons will conclude from the following information that this new microbial attack was premeditated and precedent-setting. In other words, SARS is a well orchestrated social experiment.

Who is behind this SARS madness? I accept the risk of triggering your 'conspiracy theory' buttons by identifying the widely recognized 'global military' medical petrochemical pharmaceutical cartel as the only suspect that can wield the powers necessary to effect these frightening outcomes.

Although you may find it comforting to simply consider this a conspiracy theory, I view SARS is a huge conspiracy with very few witting villains. Clearly, what you are witnessing is a well organized terror campaign carried out by mostly well-meaning, yet grossly ignorant, 'authorities' medically indoctrinated and virtually hypnotized 'Manchurian candidates' if you will allow me to postulate.

Indeed, people are dying from SARS. Yet, I diagnose this illness, by medical-sociological parameters, as a grotesque scam perpetrated for a greater purpose than simply fueling a multi-billion dollar 'cottage health industry,' as some analysts have written.

Alternatively, I propose that Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, may be best diagnosed by SARS's telltale dependence on the propaganda used to herald its presence, prompt hysteria, and broadly engage social and economic resources. In military intelligence circles this is called standard 'psychological operations' (PSYOPs).

I further suggest this fright's likeliest purpose is in facilitating evolving economic and political agendas that ultimately include targeting approximately half the world's current population for elimination. Much of this will be accomplished, not with SARS, but quite effectively and efficiently by the widely anticipated 'Big One' discussed later on this website in a feature article written for the Associated Press by Emma Ross.

There's fame, fortune, and big budgets in sounding the 'emerging infection' alarm and warning of our terrible folly in being unprepared.

Michael Fumento, National Post, March 28, 2003

This concept of a microbiological Armageddon is not new to most readers. 'Experts' have been predicting the arrival of a super-plague for decades. What is HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS about the mysterious and terrifying arrival of SARS is its timing. It arrived virtually synchronous with the global war on terrorism, and the Anglo-American war with Iraq. This is pathognomonic (i.e., symptomatic and characteristic) of what is predicted and explained in the book, Death in the Air: Globalism, Terrorism and Toxic Warfare (Tetrahedron Publishing Group, 2001; http://www.healthyworlddistributing.com/detail.aspx?ID=3), a prophetically-titled text that predated the 9-11 attacks on America by several months, and provides a contextual analysis of this current condition and spreading plague of phobic deception.

This work, and this SARS website, in essence, offers insight into the broad application of a new form of institutionalized  'bioterrorism' consistent with state sponsored biological warfare. Saddam Hussein is said to have exposed populations in his and adjacent lands with biological and chemical weapons of mass destruction. These advancing infectious disease attacks in North America are sanctioned by medical pharmaceutical and allied military industrialists. They complement the global 'War on Terrorism,' and bioterror-influenced culture, as additionally profitable, population-controlling, threats.

Perceiving Harsh Reality Versus Generally Promoted Myths

What lay persons view as ever increasing madness in the world around them, is eerily consistent with earlier globalist think tank recommendations for the development and deployment, in the new millennium, of 'conflicts short of war,' and 'economic substitutes for standard militarization.' These developments were adequately detailed and referenced in Death in the Air: Globalism, Terrorism, and Toxic Warfare (http://www.healthyworlddistributing.com/detail.aspx?ID=3). As compared with the first and second world wars, these smaller, more manageable, and better controlled conflicts, orchestrated events, and state sponsored threats, were consistently selected options among foreign policy makers and government officials beginning in the late 1960s.

Henry Kissinger, for instance, as National Security Advisor (NSA) under Richard Nixon, oversaw foreign policy while considering Third World population reduction 'necessities' for the U.S., Britain, Germany, and other allies. This Bush nominee to direct the 9-11 conspiracy investigation, a reputed war criminal, then selected the option to have the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) develop biological weapons, according to the U.S. Congressional Record of 1975. Among these biologicals were germs far deadlier than the SARS agent (thought to be a strain of coronavirus). Under Kissinger's watch as NSA, influenza and parainfluenza viruses were, for example, recombined with quick acting leukemia viruses (acute lymphocytic leukemia) to deliver a weapon that potentially spread cancer like the flu. (More on this later.) These incredible realities have been generally neglected, if not officially secreted.

Weapons selections like these continue to the present day not simply by radical terrorist groups, but also among a handful of military cartel industrialists that continue to sell weapons of mass destruction to those who can afford them.

These conflicts short of major wars like WWI and WWII, and war economy substitutes (such as the 'War on AIDS,' 'War on Crime,' 'War on Drugs,' 'War on Terrorism,' 'War on Cancer,' the environmental protection movement, and the 'Star Wars' Strategic Defense Initiative, all require sophisticated propaganda programs employing fear campaigns for social acceptance and popular support. These PSYOPS for command and control warfare (C2W), military and behavior experts correctly advise, best support a well-defined rapidly evolving 'Revolution in Military Affairs' (RMA) which is synonymous to a the evolution into 'a form of human slavery' in which the captives  'the world's population, including you and your loved ones' would not perceive this enslavement.

The RMA incorporates the use of debilitating biological weapons and incapacitating chemicals, similar to the toxic carcinogenic organophosphate pesticides deployed against mosquitoes in the 'War Against the West Nile Virus.' These are often called 'non-lethal warfare' agents, yet are indeed deadly. Death results slowly along with advancing mortality from such toxic exposures. Larger profits are made by allied pharmaceutical and medical industrialists as victims of the 'non-lethal' exposures die slowly, commonly in expensive hospitals and long-term care facilities, from chronic debilitating diseases. Most of these ailments, including the plethora of autoimmune diseases and newer cancers, were virtually non-existent 50 years ago. This fact, lone, strongly suggests a modern socio-economic and political conspiracy. Unless you simply wish to believe it is God's will or man's greed that has brought these conditions to bear upon humanity.

'People are all too willing to relinquish their civil rights and personal freedoms in the wake of such engineered frights.'

In recent decades, military think tanks prescribed options for 'conflicts short of war' that included novel population control policies and methodologies. These provided for:

1)       the establishment of new profit centers as traditional large-scale wars were phased out by the new millennium.  Examples here include the many multi-billion dollar 'homeland security' programs that emerged from post-9/11 legislation, such as those securing air travel and mail delivery. These are just two examples of myriad evolving profit centers fueled by frights and institutionalized terror campaigns;

2)       the development of advanced persuasion and population control programs, with high tech methods of support, to facilitate 'a form of slavery' in which humanity would not realize it had become conditioned into relinquishing personal and social freedoms for the mirage of health, safety, and security. These provided other profit centers and population control options. Once habituated to modern lifestyle restrictions, such as enforced health and travel restrictions, the general population might become virtually 'enslaved' with little effective resistance, widespread pharmaceutical dependence (particularly using anti-depressant drugs), through the use of PSYOPs. Media distractions and manipulations were considered essential in achieving this objective; and

3)       lucrative depopulation methods to be employed, including the conditions and resources necessary for culling 'excess populations'

SARS, when considered in light of these social and political impositions, can be clearly understood.

SARS for Profit

By Friday, March 28, 2003, senior fellow at the Hudson Institute in Washington, Michael Fumento, published a thesis in Toronto similar to the one I advance here. This well regarded author of The Myth of Heterosexual AIDS: How a Tragedy Has Been Distorted by the Media and Partisan Politics (Regnery Gateway, 1990) provided an editorial titled 'Super-bug or Super Scare'  published in the National Post (p. A16.). This included the following:

It's 'an incident of unprecedented scope and magnitude,' according to Toronto health officials, who warn Canadians to 'quarantine themselves,' wear masks, and in some cases stay home. Ontario Health Minister Tony Clement has declared a 'health emergency.' The media have dubbed it the 'mysterious killer pneumonia' or 'super-pneumonia.'

            But a bit of knowledge and perspective will kill this panic.

            Start with those scary tags, 'Mysterious' in modern medicine usually means we haven't yet quite identified the cause, although we have now done so here. What's been officially named Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) is one or more strains of coronavirus, commonly associated with colds. 'Killer pneumonia' is practically a redundancy, since so many types of pneumonia (there are more than 50) do kill.

            The real questions are: How lethal, how transmissible, and how treatable is this strain? And the answers leave no grounds for excitement, much less panic.

            Super?

            At this writing, SARS appears to have killed 54 people out of almost 1,400 afflicted according to the World Health Organization, a death rate of less than 4%. But since this only takes into account those ill enough to seek medical help, the actual ratio of deaths to infections is certainly far less. [This is a tremendous understatement.]

            In contrast, the 1918-1919 flu pandemic killed approximately a third of the 60 million afflicted.

            Further, virtually all of the deaths have been in countries with horrendous medical care, primarily mainland China. In this country, three people have died out of 28 afflicted according to Health Canada, but that may say more about Canada's vaunted national health-care system than about SARS. In the United States, 40 people have been hospitalized with SARS with zero deaths.

            Conversely, other forms of pneumonia kill more than 40,000 North Americans yearly.

            Transmissibility?

            Each year millions of North Americans alone contract the flu. Compre that with those 64 SARS cases diagnosed thus far and, well, you can't compare them. Further evidence that SARS is hard to catch is that health care workers and family members of victims are by far the most likely to become afflicted.

            Treatability?

            There are few drugs and no vaccines to fight this pathogen, one wire service panted breathlessly. But there are also few drugs to fight any type of viral pneumonia, because we have very few antiviral medicines. . . .  [Consider also approximately 97% of cases naturally defended themselves successfully against this plague. What did they, or their immune systems do right? Why is this rarely, if ever, mentioned or investigated by any mainstream source? Alternatively, Mr. Fumento mentions 'Ribovirin,' which he states, 'appears to be effective against SARS.'

[Is this another form of medically-sanctioned institutionalized bias that even the well- intentioned Fumento expresses? Consider the fact that SARS only existed a few weeks prior to Fumento's editorial. In fact, the coronavirus had been questionably cultured from SARS patients only days before Fumento's wrote the above. Surely no clinical trials matching Ribovirin with SARS had ever been conducted. At best, then, this statement reflects either drug company propaganda and/or health official speculations.]

Fumento continued:

            "So why all the fuss over this one strain of pneumonia?

            First, never ignore the obvious: It does sell papers.

            But an added feature to this scare is the cottage industry that's grown up around so-called 'emerging infectious diseases' Some diseases truly fit the bill, with AIDS the classic example. Others, like West Nile Virus in North America, are new to a given area.

            But there's fame, fortune, and big budgets in sounding the 'emerging infection' alarm and warning of our terrible folly in being unprepared. The classic example is Ebola virus, . . . [Mr. Fumento downplays the Ebola threat here.]

            Yet, you'd almost swear that every out break of Ebola is actually taking place in Toronto or New York. . . .

            . . . The U.S. government and various North American universities have also seen these faux plagues as budget boosters. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention publishes a journal called Emerging Infectious Diseases, though in any given issue it's hard to find an illness that actually fits the definition.

            The U.S. Institute of Medicine just issued a report warning that the United States is grossly unprepared to deal with emerging pathogens. Soothingly, however, it adds that it's nothing that an injection of tax dollars can't cure.

            Meanwhile, a disease that emerged eons ago called malaria kills up to 2.7 million people yearly. Another, tuberculosis, kills perhaps three million more. Both afflict North Americans, albeit at very low rates.

            The big money and headlines may be in the so-called 'emerging diseases,' but the cataclysmic illnesses come from the same old boring killers. In fact, there may be no fatal illness that will cause fewer deaths in North America this year than SARS.'"

            Michael Fumento concluded by asking, and challenging you to consider:

"How do our priorities get so twisted? There's your mystery?"

Favored Economic Victims of SARS and Other SCAMS in the RMA

Contrary to Mr. Fumento's well considered conclusion that SARS boosts budgets of those who sound alarms loudest, the mainstream media has consistently attempted to have you think otherwise. One article in Canada's leading financial newspaper, the Financial Post, on March 31, 2003, heralds, 'SARS virus begins to take toll on global economy.'

With no mention of the far larger number of people and industries that profit from such plagues, and the fears surrounding them, reporter Jacqueline Thorpe's editor assigned her to focus on the airline and tourism industries that are 'particularly hard hit.' She wrote:

"Businesses in Singapore have shut down, planes over Hong Kong are empty and thousands of people in Toronto have been forced into quarantine as a deadly pneumonia virus adds yet another strain to the beleaguered global economy.

            While severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) may not be as debilitating as war in Iraq, slumping stock markets or a weak U.S. labor market, it is already starting to take its toll on some Asian economies and the long-suffering tourism industry. . . .

            In Hong Kong, where the number of infections leapt by 60 to 530 over the weekend and 13 people have died, economists at JPMorgan Chase estimate the economy could lose 0.2% to 0.5% of gross domestic product every month from the drop in tourism and private consumption. . . .
            Businesses in many Chinese shopping districts [in Toronto] have reported a sharp drop in business.

            Dennis Yuent, a merchant in Pacific Mall in Toronto --  North America's largest shopping mall ' said his sales have dropped by about 70% since the SARS scare began.'

Notice that the expert bankers at JPMorgan Chase, and Ms. Thorpe, failed to mention the stunning growth in medical/pharmaceutical/security/and law enforcement sectors, and the increase in 'gross domestic product' due to SARS and similar scams.

In the weeks and months following the 9-11 attacks on America, I traced the widely publicized anthrax mailings 'mystery' to U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) commissioned biological weapons contractors with ties to Britain's MI6, Porton Down, the Anglo-American pharmaceutical cartel, including the Bayer, Hoecsht, Baxter and Merck Corporations, and ultimately to George Soros'a global banking and investment industrialist and chief money manager for Europe's wealthiest oligarchy' owners of the Genomic Institute that performed the DNA sequencing on behalf of the anthrax vaccine maker/British Porton Down subsidiary, Bioport. A complete expose on this topic is provided at http://www.tetrahedron.org/articles/anthrax/anthrax_espionage.html.

China's Threat and the Anglo-American RMA

It seems suspiciously convenient that the travel industry, and Asian travel in particular, would be the greatest victims at a time when globalists (i.e., global industrialists including members of the ultra-rich) have directed military and political policies consistent with the RMA and 'conflicts short of war' agenda. Reducing travel helps to secure wide ranging RMA objectives.

Think about it. Less mobile populations, and less people in general, are easier to control, especially with increased exposure to television while having to waste their time at home. This is entirely consistent with the 'Changing Images of Mankind' advanced by Willis Harmon for Anglo-American military and business interests. The effect of this similar to forced 'quarantine.' Isn't this consistent with a 'form of slavery in which humanity would not know it had become enslaved?'

People are all too willing to relinquish their civil rights and personal freedoms in the wake of such engineered frights. The passage of the infamous 'Homeland Security Act' in America, and its counterpart in Canada, are classic examples of this societal direction, forced legislation, and egregious manipulation.

How convenient that Asia, and China in particular, is said to be the origin of this North American scourge at a time when Chinese Anglo-American relations are strained to say the least.

In the days preceding the emergence of the first SARS cases, American raced to the Pacific Rim to impact escalating aggressions on the Korean peninsula. Communist China' a 'most favored' trading partner with America, is politically allied with several American enemies, including those said to possess weapons of mass destruction, including Iraq. Coincidental? Not likely when viewing the larger political picture involving the Ango-American oligarchy's RMA and instigated 'conflicts short of war.'

Ultimately, 'We the People' have become the greatest victims of this latest fright, and the larger political agendas it serves.

The Media's Role in SARS: Setting a Precedent

Consider the fact the media's mainstream has been heavily influenced, if not entirely controlled, by multi-national corporate sponsors protecting and advancing the interests of a relatively small number of global industrialists (I have called 'globalists;' and others say the 'ruling elite,' or 'European oligarchy'). Also recall that the focus of news providers, on any given day or hour, results from intelligence agency directives, according to reputable authorities including myriad retired news officials and intelligence officers. So ask and answer the following intelligent questions:

·         Why have American military officials, beginning with Secretary of Defense William Cohen during the Clinton years, publicized America's greatest vulnerability lies in the realm of biological weapons wielded by terrorists? Is this not a form of treason against the United States to relay such sensitive intelligence to potential enemies through the mainstream press? During the McCarthy era, Hollywood producers were persecuted for having the slightest liberal or Communist sympathies. What has changed to allow the Hollywood production of 'Black Hawk Down' to be used by Saddam Hussein and his military and intelligence commanders to educate and inspire his troops?

·         Why does the mainstream media continue to foretell of the expected arrival of the 'Big One' an influenza virus that will produce a super-flu that will kill billions of people, like the 'Spanish flu' did between 1918-19, while totally disregarding the individuals, organizations, and laboratories that have labored to produce these weapons of mass destruction? Even the devastating Spanish Flu virus has been, literally, unearthed for further study and, do you suppose, deployment?

·         Why was the 'Spanish flu' influenza virus called the 'Spanish flu' when it originated, by historic accounts, in Tibet in 1917? It is said that Spanish newspapers were the only ones reporting on the great plague due to their neutrality over World War I politics. However, Spain was as dear to America then as Communist China is to the United States today. The 'Spanish flu' was named such following two decades of disputes between America and Spain over colonization of the Caribbean Islands, Hawaii and the Phillippines beginning with the Spanish American war that ended in the Phillippines in 1902. Does this history appear to be repeating with the advent of SARS, allegedly from China?

·         If the legions of recognized authorities herald the coming of the 'Big One,' why do the same persons disregard this author's publication of U.S. Government, National Institutes of Health, and National Cancer Institute documents showing that the U.S. Army's 6th top biological weapons contractor in 1969-1970 prepared mutants of influenza and para-influenza viruses recombined with acute lymphocytic leukemia viruses? In other words, how would you like to have a strain of the flu that spreads cancer by sneezing? Can you even rationalize the develop of such a virus' lymphocytic leukemia that kills most victims in just a few weeks following airborne transmission?

These have been shown clearly on page 452 of the national bestselling book, Emerging Viruses: AIDS & Ebola Nature, Accident or Intentional? (http://www.healthyworlddistributing.com/detail.aspx?ID=4) in circulation since 1996. A copy of this 'menu' of infectious agents, potential biological weapons, listing several mutant recombinants involving flu viruses is posted below for your inspection.

·         Why haven't you previously heard about these developments? Especially since these documents have been extensively circulated throughout newsrooms and government offices, particularly those engaged in public health, since 1996?

·         Finally, how, if I published this information, and definitive documentation, and sent this critical intelligence along with urgent pleas to approximately 8,500 members of the mainstream media (as I have done this week and on dozens of previous occasions for the past seven years) can you turn on your television sets and gain nothing but the 'same old song?'

If you have considered and answered the above questions, doesn't it make sense that America is being manipulated, if not targeted, for the purpose of advancing a global population reduction agenda, if not World War III?

The 'Big One' is Coming

The U.S. Army's 6th top biological weapons contractor in 1969-1970 prepared mutants of influenza and para-influenza viruses recombined with acute lymphocytic leukemia viruses. In other words, how would you like to have a strain of the flu that spreads quick killing cancer by sneezing?

According to most emerging disease experts and government health officials the 'Big One' might arrive at any time.

Emma Ross of the Associated Press reported on SARS as the World Health Organization (WHO) launched its 'crisis plan to attack' the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. WHO, as you may recall, is a U.N. sponsored organization that is rumored to have helped spread AIDS to Africa by way of contaminated hepatitis B and/or polio vaccinations. There is a reasonable amount of evidence to support this contention.

More disconcerting, the U.N. is known to be heavily influenced by Rockefeller family members and corporate interests. History shows Rockefeller fortunes built the U.N. building in New York City. During WWII, the Rockefeller family and their Standard Oil Company supported Hitler more than they did the allies according to court records. One federal judge ruled Rockefeller committed 'treason' against the United States.  Following WWII, according to attorney John Loftus' an official Nazi war crimes investigator Nelson Rockefeller persuaded the U.N.'s South American voting block to favor Israel's creation only to assure secrecy regarding his support for the Nazis. Earlier that century, John D. Rockefeller joined Prescott Bush and the British Royal Family in sponsoring the eugenics initiatives that gave rise to Hitler's racial hygiene programs. During the same period the Rockefeller family virtually monopolized American medicine, American pharmaceutics and the cancer and genetics industries. Today, the Rockefeller family, foundation, U.N. and WHO remain at the forefront of administering 'population programs' designed to reduce world populations to more manageable levels. As per a recent advertisement Foreign Affairs' a prestigious political periodical published by the David Rockefeller directed Council on Foreign Relations' the U.S. population is being targeted for a 50% reduction.

"We've never faced anything on this scale with such a global reach,' said Dr. David Heymann, of the WHO, regarding SARS.

"This is the first time that a global network of laboratories are sharing information, samples, blood, pictures," added Dr. Klaus Stohr, a WHO virologist coordinating labs internationally. "Basically overnight, there are no secrets, there is no jealousy, there is no competition in the face of a global health emergency. This is a phenomenal network.

In one week, the Associated Press reported, the WHO's lab network had “isolated the SARS virus, produced a preliminary diagnostic test, and narrowed the virus' identity down to two candidates' neither one a new strain of influenza. In the following week, various antiviral drugs were tested as possible treatments.

"Meanwhile, doctors were also sharing information. . . . WHO coordinated exchanges of symptoms, case histories and possible treatments. . . . Asian doctors talked about various therapies they were trying; later, the Europeans and North Americans conferred.

"In eastern Asia at government invitation expert field teams of WHO staffers and scientists from international institutes were sent to Vietnam, Hong Kong and China to figure out how the disease was spread, to help treat patients and advise how to control it.

Aileen Plant, an infectious disease epidemiologist from Curtin University in Australia, led a dozen experts in Hanoi, one of the hard-hit areas. Her international team focused on the Hanoi French Hospital, which closed its doors to new patients and quarantined those inside. Many of the sick were doctors and nurses. . . .

With newly released figures from China, there have been more than 1,500 cases and slightly more than 50 deaths worldwide, including three in Canada. The WHO believes the disease is generally under control, but Hong Kong remains a challenge. In mainland China, the picture is somewhat murky. . . .

Many inside the WHO see the SARS operation as a kind of dress rehearsal - good practice,  Heymann said for the Big One, the inevitable killer flu pandemic that experts say could come at any time.

"This isn't the Big One, because I think it's being contained."

What You Should Do

The above information has been meticulously documented and referenced in this author's two previous works, Emerging Viruses: AIDS & Ebola' Nature, Accident or Intentional? and Death in the Air: Globalism, Terrorism and Toxic Warfare. It begs the question of what to do? There are personal and socio-political directions for a rational response. Here are my recommendations.

1.      Personally, you and your loved ones are encouraged to do everything in your power to lift your natural immunity to beyond the 3rd percentile that is apparently necessary to prevent your death from SARS, or other more pathogenic agents.   For instructions in this regard, I recommend learning from various alternative medical websites, including www.healingcelebrations.com. These are dedicated to helping you improve your health naturally.

There are five practical steps you can take that are detailed therein, and in my Healing Celebrations: Miraculous Recoveries Through Ancient Scripture, Natural Medicine and Modern Science (Tetrahedron Publishing Group, 2000). These include: 1) detoxification, 2) deacidification/alkalinization, 3) immunity boosting, 4) oxygenation, and 5) bioelectric/energetic methods.

2.       Socially, you should alert your family and friends regarding these matters in an effort to prevent their victimization, media manipulation, and continued confusion.

3.       Politically, you may wish to become active in an effort to bring greater public attention to these appalling realities. 'We the People' can make a difference in halting the ongoing genocides being conducted under the guises of 'medical science' and 'public health.' This was recently demonstrated when our revealing light of truth illuminated the risks and myths surrounding the deadly smallpox vaccine. Grassroots publications like Smallpox Alert, published by the Idaho Observer, and the affiliated website at www.allaboutsmallpox.com, created a massive backlash bringing the entire program to an embarrassing halt. By forwarding this article and related website, www.SARSscam.com, to as many people as possible, we can affect the same successful result.

(See: http://www.healingcelebrations.com/Disease%20Deities%20on%20Capitol%20Hill%20Address%20Autism.htm. Dr. Horowitz questioned government health officials regarding a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) secreted report showing a definitive link between the mercury ingredient (i.e., Thimerosal), common to most vaccinations, and the skyrocketing rates of autism and behavioral disorders affecting our children and the future our nation.

Incredibly, Dr. Horowitz alerted the FBI, in writing and in person, one week before the first anthrax mailing was announced in the press, that a 'major anthrax fright' was in the process of unfolding that demanded the FBI's urgent attention. Needless to say they did not heed Dr. Horowitzâ's prophetic warning.

Moreover, three months before the September 11 attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon, Dr. Horowitz released his thirteenth book, prophetically titled Death in the Air: Globalism, Terrorism and Toxic Warfare (http://www.healthyworlddistributing.com/detail.aspx?ID=3),. The book focuses on the West Nile Virus as an act of bioterroism, and considers what and who is really behind this and other recent outbreaks. Dr. Horowitz argues that his disclosures expose the roots of global terrorism, along with the individuals and organizations at the heart of what he calls 'the petrochemical' pharmaceutical cartel.' He believes this 'multi-national corporate beast' is in the process of committing global genocide, profiting from engineered frights, and at the same time, most efficiently culling targeted populations considered excessive.

As you may have heard, Senator Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, called for an investigation into the links between the recent West Nile Virus outbreaks and bioterrrorism. Dr. Horowitz is among the leading pioneers of this theory.

Sars 'spread by cockroaches'

Sars spread at a HK apartment block baffled doctors

Experts have a new theory on how the Sars illness raced through an entire apartment block in Hong Kong.

They believe that cockroaches may have carried the infection from flat to flat.

The death toll from Sars - Sudden Acute Respiratory Syndrome - continues to mount.

Officially, 98 people have now died worldwide from the severe pneumonia it causes, and the true figure is likely to be over 100 when deaths over the past few days are confirmed by the World Health Organization (WHO).

However, China provided some good news on the bug when it announced that the rate of new cases in Guangdong Province - believed to be the Sars epicentre - had more than halved in the past month.

How Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome has spread around the world

Scientists are increasingly confident that the illness is caused by a virus related to that which causes the common cold.

A team from the University of Hong Kong studied 50 patients with sars from five separate outbreak clusters.

Nine out of ten showed evidence of infection by a coronavirus. In contrast, the virus was not found in any healthy people that the scientists also examined.

The scientists, who published their work on The Lancet website on Tuesday, said the virus they had isolated was not one of the two known human coronaviruses. They believe it may have originated in animals.

Drainage problem

The cockroach theory was voiced by Hong Kong Deputy Director of Health Leung Pak-yin on Monday.

He was talking about how the disease managed to spread like wildfire through an apartment block at Amoy Gardens in Kowloon.

In just a few days, more than 300 new cases arose among residents of the block.

The cases left health officials baffled and deeply concerned, as many of the 300 had had no direct contact with anyone who had Sars.

Leung said: "The drainage may be the reason.

"It is possible that the cockroaches carried the virus into the homes."

Scientists are still not sure exactly what causes Sars, or how easy it is to spread.

A WHO investigation team will finish a six-day visit to Guangdong Province on Tuesday.

The Chinese authorities are insisting that they are bringing the outbreak there under control.

Huang Qindao, the director of Guangdong's health department, told AFP: "New cases are steadily decreasing...so even though the disease source hasn't been found, the disease can be prevented and treated."

It was announced on Monday that an American teacher and a Chinese Canadian couple had both picked up Sars during a visit to Southern China.

It follows the death of a Finnish man in Beijing from the illness.

Pekka Aro, 53, died in Beijing bringing the country's death toll from the virus to 53.

At least 100 people worldwide are thought to have died from the virus.

On Monday, Beijing's authorities announced they would disinfect all five diplomatic compounds housing businessmen, journalists and diplomats.

Canadian concerns

SARS: PROBABLE CASES AND DEATHS

China 1,268 cases (53 deaths)

Hong Kong 883 (23)

Singapore 106 (6)

Vietnam 62 (4)

Canada 90 (9)

Thailand 7 (2)

Malaysia 1 (1)

Source: World Health Organization (1700GMT Monday)

Note: The WHO only records cases and deaths it believes are "probable" Sars - figures from national health authorities may vary.

In Canada, the disease has killed at least 9 people - health authorities there now believe the death toll has reached 10.

The head of the Canadian central bank warned on Monday that the virus could have economic consequences there.

"An epidemic like Sars, if it carries on, is obviously going to be quite serious but we don't know that. We know there is going to be a short-term impact," Bank of Canada Governor David Dodge said.

The virus shows no signs of being contained.

According to local reports, Sars has spread to Hong Kong's Tuen Mun district where a hospital is treating dozens of cases.

On Tuesday, Singapore said six more nurses had been infected with the virus while India reported its first case - a US citizen who had been taken ill after travelling to Bombay from China.

SARS 'probably' from livestock

01apr03

LIVESTOCK in southern China may be the source of the mysterious virus that has killed more than 60 people and caused a global health scare, sources close to the World Health Organisation (WHO) has said.

"WHO is working on a theory that the virus has its source in farm animals in southern China," a source close to the Geneva-based body told AFP.

The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) which erupted in southern China's Guangdong province has spread to Hong Kong and been taken worldwide in an unprecedented fashion by airline passengers.

"In some areas in Guangdong province in southern China, people just live neck to jaw with animals - pigs, chickens, ducks are everywhere," the source said.

Scientists have already ruled out a link between SARS and bird flu, also a viral disease highly contagious to chickens, ducks, turkeys and other birds but not dangerous to other animals and humans.

"At this stage, we are not saying this is the cause but is certainly something we are looking into in the general scheme of things," said Peter Cordingley, spokesman for the Manila-based Western Pacific WHO regional office, when asked to confirm the links between SARS and farm animals in southern China.

Cordingley said the WHO was still awaiting authorisation from the Chinese authorities to pay a visit to Guangdong province, where the SARS outbreak occurred way back in November.

Jean-Marc Olive, the WHO representative to the Philippines, said in a separate interview on government television that experts were still "laboratory researching" for leads that could lead to the discovery of the virus.

"Now there is a possible lead that it is a virus infecting animals that jumped to various species as it has happened in the past, and it's another way to try to investigate these cases and discover the virus," Olive told NBN television.

China has come under fire from various quarters for providing little information about the epidemic in the south of the world's most populous nation where 34 people have died so far, according to Chinese authorities.

The mysterious illness has now infected 1,700 people in 15 countries and killed at least 62 people.

Hitoshi Oshitani, a Manila-based WHO expert on communicable disease, said viruses of many emerging diseases were known to have come from animals by "crossing species barriers".

He cited as examples the deadly incurable haemorrhagic fever Ebola, whose virus is suspected to have come from monkeys and another killer virus, the Nipah virus, which may have originated from bats.

The Nipah virus is named after the location where it was first detected in Malaysia in 1999, when pigs were reported to be the apparent source of infection among most human cases.

The Nipah virus is a member of the virus family called paramyxoviridae.

The family includes the paramyxovirus, which the WHO has not ruled out as a possible cause for SARS, perhaps working in conjunction with another virus family called coronavirus.

The paramyxovirus causes common illnesses like mumps and measles while the coronavirus caused the common cold.

Oshitani told AFP that the viruses linked to SARS are known to be different from those currently infecting humans.

He said that some laboratories, including France's Pasteur Institute in Paris, found the coronavirus while others discovered the paramyxovirus in samples of SARS patients.

"But we still don't know what is the relationship between the two viruses in terms of being the causative agent of SARS," he said.

Yesterday, Oshitani said scientists working in 11 laboratories around the world were just days away from identifying the virus that causes SARS.

"We still need some more time to find what is the real cause of the SARS outbreak and how these two viruses evolve in the disease history."

Oshitani said that SARS virus was more dangerous than the Ebola virus "in terms of infectivity, but in terms of severity and case fatality rates, it is less dangerous".

He said SARS was the "most significant outbreak of a disease through air travel in history" while the international collaboration to determine its cause was "the biggest for an emerging disease."

N. AMERICA: Public gripped by fear

By Carl Skadian

FACE masks are being snapped up, the term 'Sars' has shot to second place on Yahoo's search index, after only 'Al-Jazeera', and some believe the deadly new disease is a bigger threat than terrorism.

These and other fears gripped North America as Sars entered the consciousness of Americans and Canadians in a big way.

US President George W. Bush's executive order allowing authorites to quarantine people, against their will if necessary, jolted Americans, while in Canada, news of an eighth death on Saturday dashed hopes that the disease was on the wane.

There have been 201 cases of the disease reported in Canada and 115 in the US to date. No one has died in the US thus far.

The Washington Post reported yesterday that a new poll showed high interest in the disease.

The ABC/Washington Post poll found that 74 per cent of Americans are following the Sars story closely.

Of those polled, 38 per cent are worried about the disease and 35 per cent think Sars is a greater danger to themselves or their family than a terrorist attack.

Higher up north, in Canada, The Globe and Mail newspaper reported that 61 per cent of Canadians are concerned about contracting the disease, with 27 per cent saying they are very concerned.

Sars fears are greatest in Ontario, the Canadian province hardest-hit by the outbreak.

Many Ontarians have begun keeping their children home from school.

'I may look really silly when this is done,' Ms Michelle Reeves, the mother of a seven-year-old boy, told the National Post newspaper.

'I can afford to look silly. I can't afford for my child to get this.'

Thousands of Canadians have also been ordered to stay home.

The quarantine applies to anyone who spent time at a hospital in Toronto since March 16, including patients, support staff, visitors, couriers and dozens of health-care workers.

As some began to complain at having to remain indoors, one man decided to break his quarantine. That led to a rare court order from a judge to have him arrested.

Now, many Canadians and Americans are beginning to change their personal habits too, because of Sars.

Many are washing their hands more often, staying home if they feel unwell, avoiding public places, cancelling travel plans and avoiding public transport.

But in some cases, the fear is starting to border on the irrational.

Many readers are writing in to Canadian newspapers and demanding that travellers arriving from Sars-hit countries be barred from entry.

The New York Times reported that the mysterious nature of the illness is breeding its own set of problems, setting off a surge in rumours.

But they would have to work at sieving fact from fiction.

Then there is the No 1 rumour on the Internet: That the disease is the result of a CIA genetic engineering experiment run amok.

'For a lot of people, it's more comfortable to believe that the CIA cooked something up in a secret lab somewhere and it got out,' said Ms Barbara Mikkelson, who runs a website dedicated to collecting rumours.

Study: Test May Determine Likely Fatal SARS Cases

By Maggie Fox, Health and Science Correspondent

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An enzyme test that detects lung damage could help determine which patients are more likely to die from the respiratory illness SARS, Hong Kong doctors said on Tuesday in a report that gives fresh insight into the mysterious disease that has killed 103 people worldwide.

The report, published in online editions of the New England Journal of Medicine (news - web sites) by Dr. Joseph Sung and colleagues at Hong Kong's Prince of Wales Hospital, also shows why some patients die from Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome while most survive.

It illustrates arguments from doctors that the epidemic can be contained if so-called index cases can be detected and isolated.

At least 103 people have died from SARS and 2,750 have been infected in about 20 countries -- nearly half of them in China. Doctors believe the epidemic began in China's southern Guangdong province in November.

The older the patient the more likely they are to die from SARS, Sung's team reported.

Those who died also had high levels of an enzyme suggesting lung damage called lactate dehydrogenase, the team said. In addition, patients who died had high levels of immune cells called neutrophils, which the body releases to fight invaders such as bacteria and viruses.

Although all five patients who died in Sung's study had some other illness such as congestive heart failure, liver cirrhosis or hepatitis, being ill  with something besides SARS did not necessarily put patients at special risk of dying, they noted.

About 3.5 percent of patients with SARS die.

Sung's team looked at 138 patients who caught SARS from a single patient with the illness. About half of them were health care workers who cared for the man.

Others who became infected with SARS from the man were either patients in the hospital or visitors, while a smaller group caught SARS indirectly from either the health care workers, infected patients or visitors.

The incubation period -- the time from exposure to signs of fever -- ranged from two to 16 days, Sung's team reported.

"The most common symptoms included fever (in 100 percent of the patients); chills, rigors (shivering) or both; and myalgia (muscle aches). Cough and headache were also reported in more than 50 percent of the patients," the team wrote.

RUNNY NOSE

In a second report also published on Tuesday, Malik Peiris from the University of Hong Kong and colleagues said they found that fewer than 25 percent of SARS patients show upper respiratory symptoms such as a runny nose.

They studied 50 patients with SARS from five separate outbreak clusters, looking for evidence of the chief suspect, a coronavirus.

Tests showed evidence of the coronavirus, a previously unknown relative of a common cold, in 45 out of 50 of the patients, Peiris and colleagues wrote in the Lancet medical journal. Tests on patients without SARS symptoms showed none had coronavirus infection.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said it tested more than 300 healthy people for coronavirus and found none are infected, although samples from four SARS patients all showed the virus.

In 35 of the 50 that Pieris's team tested, they found antibodies to coronoavirus -- a test the CDC is now using to diagnose SARS and distinguish it from other respiratory illnesses.

Both teams said their findings support the idea that SARS is spread mostly by large droplets, which patients pass on by sneezing or coughing.

Singapore Woman Linked to 100 SARS Cases

By YEOH EN-LAI

The Associated Press

Wednesday, April 9, 2003; 10:35 AM

SINGAPORE - Esther Mok went to Hong Kong to shop but came home carrying a deadly flu-like virus that has since spread to more than 100 people in Singapore and killed both of her parents and her pastor.

Miraculously, she has survived.

Mok, a 26-year-old former flight attendant, was one of three original cases of severe acute respiratory syndrome, or SARS, to emerge in Singapore early last month.

Mok was very sick - and very contagious - when admitted to a Singapore hospital on March 1, but doctors had no idea that she was suffering from the strange form of pneumonia that had already killed dozens in China.

She had regular visits from her family and members of her church - all oblivious to the fact that they were exposing themselves to SARS.

Her father, mother and pastor have since died of SARS. Her uncle is in intensive care battling the illness. Mok's grandmother and brother are also sick but in stable condition.

In fact, all but a handful of the 118 reported cases in Singapore have been traced to Mok, and health officials have dubbed her a SARS "super spreader."

Two other Singaporean women also traveled to Hong Kong in February and developed SARS after exposure to a Chinese doctor, Liu Jianjun, while staying at the Metropole Hotel. They have not infected others, the health ministry said.

"Esther Mok infected the whole lot of us," health minister Lim Hng Kiang said at a recent press conference.

Two other so-called super spreaders, Canadian Kwan Siu-Chiu and American Chinese businessman Johnny Chen, fell ill after a stay at the Metropole hotel and have helped spread the illness around the world. Unlike Mok, both died.

"We don't know why some people are able to spread it so easily and some don't," said Chew Suok Kai, health ministry's director of epidemiology and disease control.

Experts from Atlanta's Centers for Disease Control will be in Singapore later this week to further analyze data from SARS patients here in a bid to find out how the "super spreader" phenomenon works, Chew said.

"There are so many things we want to know about this disease but don't know yet. One of the key things we are working on is how the super-spreader spreads," said Chew.

Mok herself has recovered and could be released from a hospital, but authorities are reluctant to let her go, fearing the media frenzy that is likely to greet her.

Like "Typhoid" Mary Mallon, who famously infected dozens of people in the New York area in the early 1900s and was forced by the government to live alone on an island, Mok is living her own modern-day exile in a hospital room networked with televisions and telephones.

Mok's quarantine prevented her from attending the memorial services of her parents, Joseph and Helen, but she has not been alone. Mok's sister, Rebekah, has taken a leave of absence to be with her, said Pastor Humphrey Choe of the family's church, the Faith Assemblies of God.

"We are all praying for her and for everyone involved," said Choe, adding that the church has rallied around Mok.

Since this island nation of 4 million people first reported its SARS outbreak a month ago, it has quarantined about 1,000 people, ordering them to stay home for 10 days or risk prosecution. Nine people have died and 118 have been reported to have the illness.

"I feel sorry for her but you might wonder whether Singapore would be so badly affected had she not been in the wrong place at the wrong time," said deliveryman Gary Sivalingam.

SARS has killed over 100 and sickened over 2,600 worldwide, mostly in Asia.

Sars illness 'here to stay'

BBC News

Thursday, 10 April, 2003

The mystery illness which has claimed more than 100 lives is probably   in Asia to stay, according to an infectious disease expert.

Dr Jim Hughes, from the US Centers for Disease Control, said that he believed that Sars - Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome - could not now be eradicated in the Far East.

So far the illness has infected at least 2,700 people worldwide, and killed at least 106, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

Hong Kong itself reported four more deaths on Thursday, pushing its total past 30 - although the WHO has yet to include these in its latest statistics.

Dr Hughes, the head of infectious diseases at the CDC, said that it was also possible that the illness would become a perennial feature of life in north America.

He said: "I think we have to assume that the virus is in Asia to stay.

"In terms of its introduction into north America, whether it is here to stay I think remains to be seen but I think we should assume that it may well be."

His warning comes a week after a colleague, CDC director Dr Julie Gerberding, said that intensive efforts to contain Sars might fail.

A team of epidemiologists from the WHO has ended a six-day tour of Guangdong province in southern China, where the illness is believed to have first appeared.

The Chinese authorities have been attacked amid claims that they have "covered up" additional Sars cases in Beijing and elsewhere.

On Thursday, friends of a US citizen who died from Sars claimed he was wheeled, already dead, into an ambulance and sent from Beijing to Hong Kong because China's authorities did not want to report that another foreigner had died of the virus in the city.

The man had been working as a teacher in the southern city of Shenzhen when he contracted Sars.

In another unusual case, a military doctor broke ranks and accused his superiors of failing to disclose Sars cases at his hospital.

The WHO says it needs to know about every probable case so it can gauge the spread of the illness.

South Africa has now reported a "probable" Sars case - which, if confirmed by the WHO, would be the first on the continent.

The government says 19 people have been infected in the capital Beijing, with four deaths.

But health workers in the capital have told the BBC that at least 100 people have been infected.

Studies now strongly suggest that a new strain of Corona virus, which normally causes the common cold, could be to blame.

Hong Kong experts isolated the virus in 90% of Sars patients studied, and found no trace of it in healthy people.

EXCLUSIVE

Total Inactivation Of SARS Virus Achieved In 14 Seconds

By Basil Wainwright

4-11-3

IMPORTANT BREAKTHROUGH TEST RESULTS ON THE CURRENT ELEVEN KNOWN VARIANTS OF THE CORONA VIRAL GROUPINGS

On Wednesday 2nd April 2003, one of East Africa's top biologists who worked extensively with Basil Earle Wainwright upon the inactivation of numerous pathogens including Anthrax, within one of Africa's leading tropical disease facilities, had been examining the applications and effects of all the known antiviral agents to determine their effectiveness upon SARS and analyze the subsequent results.

It is well-known that SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) is one of the Corona Viral groupings, which of course has always been associated with colds, influenza and killer pneumonias. All known corona viruses are very infectious and are generally considered to be a function of air borne transmission.

As previously mentioned, extensive testing and any variants on DNA recognition were carried out to evaluate the antiviral capabilities of all known antiviral agents. The conclusions on these tests determined that no effectiveness was demonstrated.

As I had shipped my new molecular blood purification system to this particular research facility in January, they decided to conduct a test run on the corona viral groupings using my aforementioned blood purification system.

The head biologist who had worked extensively with my research team in Africa ran tests with all known eleven current corona viral groups, and monitored their results. He also conducted extensive PCR evaluation and within less than 14.4 seconds demonstrated total inactivation of the SARS virus with no deleterious effects upon the remaining blood components.

This system allows the patients pre-saturated highly oxygenated blood to flow up the capillary coil which is then subjected to four UV frequencies, spaced at 200 millisecond separation, the total exposure time at 100 mls /min is 7.2 seconds. The specific UV frequencies create four variants of reactive Oxygen molecules within the patients blood itself.

One of the primary concerns of course is as to how this virus SARS is spreading globally, when it is well known that if you are desirous of testing a new pathogen, all you do is put it in the mail.

SARS - A Great Global SCAM

China blames U.S. for SARS

Floats theory virus byproduct of bioweapon research

Posted: May 9, 2003

© 2003 WorldNetDaily.com

The deadly SARS pandemic, which has claimed more than 500 lives worldwide, originated as a bioweapon in a U.S. research lab, according to the Hong Kong newspaper Wenweipo.

The Wenweipo article entitled, "Earliest SARS outbreak suspected in U.S.," cites reports by the Associated Press and Reuters about a 45-year-old woman who became gravely ill on Feb. 9, 2002, while taking part in her mortgage company's annual sales convention near Philadelphia. Her symptoms included headache, fever, chills, vomiting and shortness of breath. After being hospitalized, she died early the next morning.

The hospital was placed under a short-term quarantine and more than 80 people suspected of having had close contact with the woman were examined. Seven were held in the hospital for further observation.

The newspaper suggested the incident was covered up and speculates it represented the original outbreak of SARS.

Several Taiwan media outlets reprinted and broadcast the story.

But a Taiwan News editorial debunks the report. It points out the Wenweipo failed to mention that the hospital subsequently announced the woman had apparently died of bacterial pneumonia. SARS, or Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, is a viral disease.

The Taiwan News editorial further notes the Wenweipo is a well known mouthpiece for Beijing among China watchers and its editorials and articles frequently serve as "trial balloons" for Beijing policy-makers. It concludes the Wenweipo's "excavation and creative remix of a news story more than a year old" is an attempt by the Chinese Communist Party to deflect criticism for its handling of the epidemic.

As WorldNetDaily reported, China's government admitted April 19 there were more than seven times as many SARS cases in Beijing than it had reported, conceding there had been 339 cases in the capital, 18 deaths and an additional 402 suspected cases. Today, mainland China's death toll rose to 230 and more than 4,600 others have been infected.

Beijing, the worst-affected city, reported 114 fatalities, 2,177 confirmed cases and more than 18,000 people quarantined.

"The epidemic shows signs of declining," Liang Wannian, deputy director-general of the city Health Bureau told reporters today, explaining that new cases had fallen to 30-40 per day. That compares to 70-80 a day reported last month.

Still, the virus remains deadly. The World Health Organization, or WHO, hiked its estimated global death rate for SARS cases yesterday to 14-15 percent.

Yesterday, WHO added Taiwan to its travel-alert list as 18 new cases surfaced there, bringing the total to 149, with 14 deaths.

Deaths have been recorded throughout Asia, including 27 in Singapore, five in Vietnam, two in Malaysia, two in the Philippines and two in Thailand.

Canada, the only country outside Asia to report SARS deaths, has recorded 23 fatalities.

The Asian Development Bank forecast economic losses due to SARS of $20 billion in the four most vulnerable economies – China, Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan.

Chinese dissident Harry Wu predicts the economic blow of the epidemic could undermine the communist regime, and may become China's Chernobyl. The 1986 nuclear reactor disaster and its subsequent cover-up by Moscow proved a public-relations nightmare that led to political reforms in the former Soviet Union.

SARS has sparked civil unrest. In one incident, thousands of villagers in Chagugang town, a rural area outside the port city Tianjin, reacted violently to the government's decision to use a school as an isolation facility. Residents torched the school, ransacked government offices and overturned cars. A local official told the Agence France-Presse 30-40 people took part in the destruction, while the rest of the crowd of roughly 2,000 cheered.

SARS surfaced as a mystery illness in China's Guangdong province in November. WorldNetDaily reported some virologists implicate the farming practices common in the southern provinces of China, where farmers raise hens, ducks, pigs and fish in one integrated system. They use the droppings and leftover food from the pigs to feed the fowl. The fowl droppings, in turn, help fertilize the fish ponds. This opens the door for viruses to mutate and jump species.

"The most likely scenario is that [SARS] has been circulating in another species in southern China, and human beings came in contact with it this past autumn, perhaps in an agricultural setting," said Dr. Stephen Morse, author of "Emerging Viruses." "It is interesting that this part of Asia is the same geographic area from which most known influenza pandemics have arisen."

How Dr. Rath and $30,000 in Public Health Advertising by the Dr. Rath Health Foundation brought the SARS epidemic "under control"

Throughout the Iraq war, Dr Rath has exposed the Rockefeller Group and the pharmaceutical/ petrochemical cartel as the largest benefactors of a war with weapons of mass destruction. This war would be abused to abolish civil rights worldwide, guarantee the survival of the pharmaceutical industry and establish the monopoly of the pharmaceutical cartel over global health. Unmasking the 'war plan' of these corporate interest groups behind the military war against Iraq and exposing these groups as even benefiting from a war led with weapons of mass destruction, made it impossible for them to do just that - to risk a war with weapons of mass destruction.

The very same week that Dr. Rath published his open letter exposing the "Rockefeller-financed Trilateral Commission" behind the Bush-Administration's war, the plan for the use of weapons of mass destruction was dropped. That very same week the Pharma-Cartel launched their Plan B: the SARS epidemic.

By the middle of March, all of a sudden, the news were dominated with the buzz-word 'SARS' and a global scare campaign was launched. The SARS epidemic was a man made PR-stunt with the goal of creating the global psychological state that would allow the pharmaceutical cartel to create in people the state of mind enabling it to continue its rule - even with an Iraq war fought only with conventional weapons.

Dr. Rath and his team recognized this strategy and called their bluff. He knew the scientific fact that all viruses including the virus that causes SARS (corona virus) can be largely blocked by optimum use of ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and other essential nutrients. Dozens of studies with different viruses have all confirmed that there is no known virus that does not respond to vitamin C. In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, it was shown that vitamin C alone can block even the HIV/ AIDS-Virus by more than 99 % (Proceedings Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 1990, 87, 7245-9).

Knowing these facts, Dr. Rath decided to publish full page Public Health Alerts in newspapers in Hong Kong, the Philippines and Singapore. The title was "Vitamin C against SARS". The subtitle read "What everyone should know - but the World Health Organization (WHO) does not tell you - about natural protection from the new epidemic."

Dr. Rath's public health information informed people in the countries most affected, about the benefits of vitamin C and other essential nutrients to optimize the immune system and help prevent the spread of SARS. But this Public Health Alert, financed by the Dr. Rath Health Foundation, was also a harsh criticism of the World Health Organization (WHO). Dr. Rath criticized the WHO, founded half a century ago to promote human health, to be undermined and abused by pharmaceutical investment interests.

This investment industry is based on the patentability of drugs and continues to instrumental the WHO to serve primarily the promotion of patentable, profitable prescription drugs. In fact, there is no other reason why the World Health Organization would fail to fulfill its obligation and bring the life saving information about the health benefits of essential nutrients to the people of the world.

The text for the open letters was submitted to the newspapers on 9th April 2003 and under-went a meticulous review in the respective countries, including by one Ministry of Health. This review process alone made sure that the information about the effectiveness of a non-patentable natural substance, vitamin C, for the natural control of the SARS epidemic is available everywhere and can and must be used.

The publication date for Dr. Rath's health information in these Asian countries was set for Saturday 12th of April 2003. The advent of the "Public Health Information Campaign by the Dr. Rath Health Foundation" and the public exposure of WHO as a puppet of the pharmaceutical cartel, rang alarm bells within the WHO. In fear of the loss of its credibility with the people of the world, this world body had to react. Disputing the scientific facts was no option. So the only way out was a withdrawal of the scare tactics. Their basic message: It's not that bad.

Thus, on the very same day that millions of people in Asia woke up to the stunning news of fighting SARS with vitamin C they must have been even more stunned by the WHO making a 180 degree turn around. Referring to the WHO's medical officer Mike Ryan, the New York Times reported for the world to know: "Virus Called Mostly Under Control".

What a remarkable day. After having launched one of the largest media stunts in the history of planet earth, the pharmaceutical cartel and its allies within the WHO had to withdraw it within hours of Dr. Rath calling their bluff.

Dr. Rath comments: "I have been fighting the pharmaceutical cartel for more than a decade now, but this success overshadows everything. The pharmaceutical interest groups - exposed as conducting an organized fraud business that risks the life of millions of people and drains the economies of this planet - are apparently extremely nervous. There can be no other reason why they reacted so fast following my exposure that the pharmaceutical cartel is the organizer and benefactor of this man made hysteria. This fact should open the eyes of every intelligent person: How scared must they be if $30,000 in public health advertising is all it takes to stop an epidemic that has been dominating the news around the world."

After having been denied the opportunity to escalate the war against Iraq into a war with weapons of mass destruction: after having been denied the possibility to abuse such an event to abandon civil rights around the world for its own survival, the pharmaceutical cartel has just suffered another blow.

The people of the world are one step further toward recognizing the true nature of the pharmaceutical cartel as an unscrupulous investment group around the Rockefeller group. The pharmaceutical investment industry has sacrificed more lives over the past decades for their unscrupulous "business with disease" than the number of people who died in all wars of mankind put together.

The people of planet earth are waking up to the fact that there is a special interest group among us that not only took control of the White House and controls news dissemination around the world through their ownership of Time Warner, CNN and other news channels, but also abuses these instruments to impose wars and epidemics on our planet.

It's time for a change. We ask you to support the People's Agenda for a new world of health, peace and social justice.

===================================================

Inge's Comment: After reading Dr. Rath's report on halting the "artificially manufactured SARS hysteria", I would like you to consider the following COINCIDENCES with alarm.

Since Plan A (Shock and Awe - with weapons of mass destruction) and Plan B (creating an artificial medical emergency - the SARS hysteria) have both been sabotaged with the public injection of TRUTH by Dr. Rath, Plan C is suddenly emerging. The pharmaceutical/military/new-world-order syndicate has no intention of allowing simple and inexpensive PROVEN CURES to destroy their global control, power, or profits.

How can the pharmaceutical cartel eliminate this competitive threat -

Simple! Plan C. Restrict accessibility!

Over the years, all the smaller supplement-manufacturing companies have been bought out or forced out of the marketplace by the giant multinational pharmaceuticals, and now there are a just few 'pharmaceutical' companies which manufacture the world's supply of Vitamin C, and most other supplements - and therefore, have the capacity to regulate - or eliminate - the supply. (Truly the fox owning and guarding the chicken coup.)

Can this all be coincidence?

Suddenly I read that Vitamin C is not available in Chili - because of a worldwide 'manufacturing' shortage.

Then I read today that because of "sudden and sweeping government intervention on justification of a necessary investigation into violations of Good Manufacturing Practice, "Pan Pharmaceuticals saw its complete line of supplements production recalled, practically ruining the natural products industry in Australia"- ".

I am waiting to see how many other such capers will appear in other countries, unless Dr. Rath can embarrass the syndicate by publically exposing their tactics once again.

At the same time, The New York Times ran a series of articles last week, alerting the public to "the dangers of overdosing on supplements". (These articles naturally made no mention of the fact that pharmaceutical drugs are now the fourth leading cause of death in America. (while death from supplements are as scare as hen's teeth.)

How convenient! Scare the hell out of the consuming public, and REMOVE the supply.

Do they really take us for complete idiots who cannot to see through their manipulative policies of deception.

But most of all, SHAME on all the governments and their regulatory agencies, which have allowed themselves to become infiltrated and controlled, and now shamefully demonstrate their willingness "to sell their own citizens down the drain - camouflaged under the pretense protecting us from ourse;ves". SHAME, SHAME, SHAME!

May I remind those in collusion with the pharmaceutical syndicate's agenda, or those who prefer to continue wearing blinkers, that their families also get sick, and that their health is also ruled by the "sickness industry", and that they may someday find themselves desperately praying to have access to the natural remedies that work - and there are MANY that have been eliminated through persecution, prosecution, and conspiratorial regulations. (We destroyed the life-saving discoveries of geniuses like Dr. William Koch, or Dr. Royal Rife - both of whom gave us universal treatments for infectious diseases, and we ignored and maligned the clinical discoveries of Dr. Fred Klenner - who cured polio already in the 40-s and 50's. Did we really need a polio vaccine (since we had 3 ignored cures) - while the vaccine resulted in contaminating entire populations with SV40 - which has been shown to cause specific new cancers?)

Your health is hanging in the balance. Your freedom is hanging in the balance. Indeed, your life is hanging in the balance!

P.S. Please help us to get the TRUTH out - and to remove the shackles of fear that has a suffocating stranglehold on people when they do not know nor suspect the deception. The main media is embedded, or too scared to tackle this subject for fear of retribution. So it is up to us, and individual citizens, to protect ourselves and our fellowman.

The TRUTH shall make us free again!

SARS (SUDDEN ACUTE RESPIRATORY SYNDROME), SOME PERSPECTIVE

(Dr. W.) Before we panic, lock ourselves in, don facemasks and rubber gloves to attempt escape from the SARS virus, let's consider some things. First off, if it were not for the media most would not even know of the disease. Our perceptions of reality are so skewed by what the media chooses to highlight that it is very hard to sort real threats from high improbabilities. After all, we are all at risk of everything at all times – car accidents, lightening bolts, falls, food poisoning, fire, tornadoes, volcanoes, meteorites, parasites and every other manner of disease. It's a matter of odds. The media features what they believe will capture the most attention. An epidemic that might sweep the world like a plague is attention-getting and keeps folks tuning in. SARS is in; the Nile virus is out. What the media presents is flavored by marketers looking for ratings and is not an objective view that is "fair and balanced." For example, if one were to line up all the diseases that currently threaten humans and statistically compare their morbidity and mortality rates, SARS would be way, way down toward the nadir. I have not done this in its entirety, but :

here are some examples of risks. Each year in the U.S., about
  710,760 people die from heart disease,
  553,251 from cancer,
  429,762 from smoking-related illnesses,
  167,661 of stroke,
    71,252 due to diabetes,
    63,548 from pneumonia,
    43,354 in automobile accidents,
    29,350 commit suicide,
    16,765 are murdered,
    14,478 die from HIV/AIDS,
      5,357 due to viral hepatitis,
      5,000 from food poisoning,
      3,582 from rheumatic fever, and
      1,765 from influenza.

The number of SARS deaths in the U.S. to date? Zero. According to the World Health Organization, as of May 6th, there have been only 65 cases of the disease in America – none of them fatal. Worldwide, there have been 6,727 cases, 478 resulting in death. Yet, what do we hear about all the other widespread threats? Practically nothing. They're old news or news people don't want to hear because it means they might have to alter their life-style. How about the fact that the number one killer of Americans is medical intervention? (See "Is the U.S. Healthier than Ever?") When was the last time you heard a news report on that? They should be screaming it from atop their broadcast towers, but lo, nary a word. It plays better to have an easily identified enemy like a virus than counsel a population about how they should exercise, drop the dough and sugar and eat properly. We do better at war than at self-examination. Let's catch the virus, identify it, prepare a vaccine weapon and rid the earth of it. Or so the fairy tale goes. We have never removed one pathogen from the planet. They are too small, too ubiquitous and too genetically clever. "But," you say, "what about the way we licked other terrible epidemics like polio, measles, scarlet fever, whooping cough, diphtheria, tuberculosis and typhoid?" Here's a reality check on that. Below you will find charts tracking the mortality from a variety of such diseases. Note that they all appear to be subdued. Look more closely. See that they have not been eliminated. Also, and most important and remarkable, the medical agent credited with their demise was introduced AFTER the majority of the disease had declined. Does it look to you like medicine was the cure? Not to me. (Vertical axis represents mortality.)

Why did these infectious diseases decline? Nobody really knows. It could be that we are observing the natural ebb and flow of a microbial population. All creatures experience such cycles. Locust swarms do not occur constantly but according to some internal rhythm within these organisms. The Gypsy moth scourge that devastated all the beautiful oak trees in my home state looked relentless and unstoppable despite spraying, trapping and glue rings. Then, for no apparent reason, it's virtually gone. We would like to think we control such things by ingenious technology, but we don't. Small creatures in populations of trillions upon trillions have a life of their own that cannot be easily overcome by our puny measures. Disease also subsides because of the increase in immunological defenses of the host. We too, the hosts, are tenacious and will not easily fall as a population. Even the most virulent disease that passes through a population always seems to leave some survivors. Why? Some evidently had more innate resistance. The most likely cause of the decline of the terrible scourges of the past was something as unspectacular as increased public hygiene in cities (plumbing) and better food distribution (trucking). The heroes do not reside in the medical profession; they are the plumber and trucker. How can we individually be more resistant? By taking proper care of ourselves in a preventive way. The Optimal Health Program™ gives you the keys. If everyone were to follow its principles, microbial villains would have a far less chance of gaining a foothold and the odds of succumbing to all of the other degenerative, equally cruel conditions, would be far more in our favor. Learn how to preventatively take care of yourself and loved ones. That is your greatest protection and hope.

IMMEDIATE RELEASE FROM:

WORLD NATURAL HEALTH ORGANIZATION

http://www.wnho.net

World Natural Health Organization founding member, Dr. Joseph Puleo, leading naturopathic physician, spearheads research finding natural treatment for SARS.

MAY 6, 2003

DOCTORS MAKE NATURAL TREATMENT FOR SARS AVAILABLE WORLDWIDE

SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA - A team of Doctors well-known for their research in alternative medicine and emerging diseases has developed an effective treatment for SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) utilizing a little-known antidote to coronavirus. According to the Doctors, coronavirus can be successfully treated with methanolic extracts of two berry bushes common to British Columbia and the northwestern states - Amelanchier alnifolia and Rosa nutkana both members of the Rosaceae family of plants.

Dr. Leonard Horowitz, a Harvard-trained, internationally known expert in public health and emerging diseases and Dr. Joseph Puleo, a leading naturopathic physician and a founding member of the World Natural Health Organization (http://www.wnho.net) developed the treatment from findings originally made in 1995. Esteemed Canadian botanist Dr. Neil Towers, Professor Emeritus at the University of British Columbia, pioneered the decade-old study that proved Rosacaea plants could overcome coronavirus infections in cell cultures, a system far more sensitive to toxicity than living organisms.

Doctors Horowitz and Puleo advanced Dr. Towers' studies by adding two additional natural ingredients and have named the new treatment the "Urbani SARS Formula." The name recognizes Italian communicable disease expert Dr. Carlo Urbani, one of the disease's earliest victims. Dr Urbani, who received a Nobel Peace Prize for his humanitarian work with Doctors Without Borders, died in Thailand after contracting the disease while caring for patients.

While the Doctors cannot make "cure" claims due to variations between individuals and FDA restrictions, they profess that the ingredients in the Urbani SARS Formula are time-tested, inexpensive, readily available and well proven against the bovine coronavirus and other respiratory pathogens. Dr. Puleo saw rapid improvement among patients who presented in March with SARS-like symptoms at the Natural Health Research Clinic he directs in Sandpoint, Idaho.

The primary ingredients in the proprietary Urbani SARS Formula are extremely hard to acquire in freshly harvested lots, which are required for maximum strength and effectiveness. The ingredients include:

Lomatium dissectum root extract. This has been known for centuries to have potent anti-microbial uses and to be useful as an immuno-stimulant. It also protects cells from another pathogen, the Rotavirus, which is a common cause of dysentery. SARS has been linked to symptoms of dysentery in a significant number of cases. It was used by Native Americans as a food and as a medicine for treatment of Tuberculosis and other lung infections. It has been used effectively in the treatment of bronchitis and pneumonia.

Devil's Club (Oplopanax horridus). This is best known as an immune-boosting "adaptogen" that mitigates the effect of stress throughout the body. It also functions as an expectorant and mucous secretion stimulator when prescribed for respiratory infections. Native Americans have long used Devil's Club to help heal insulin-resistant type II diabetes. Dr. Puleo explains that most SARS victims have ongoing blood sugar and immune-suppressive problems that give viral infections the edge over natural immunity.

The Rosaceae (Amelanchier ainifolia and Rosa nutkana or Saskatoons). These berries are a naturally-occurring edible fruit once used by Native Americans for stomach problems and for maternal recovery after childbirth. In 1995 it was demonstrated that extracts from these berries were very active against coronaviruses.

Xylitol Sugar. Xylitol is a relatively new weapon in the war against infectious diseases. This five-carbon sugar was largely unappreciated before WW II sugar shortages brought it to attention. Researchers in Finland determined that a 5% solution of Xylitol reduced 68% of Strep and Pneumonia bacteria attachments and 50% of flu viruses. Small amounts of Xylitol are made naturally in the body, which means it does not have the problems associated with man-made antibiotics. Bacteria do not develop a resistance to Xylitol and cannot introduce mutating strains to overcome its effectiveness.

The Doctors Horowitz and Puleo have granted worldwide distribution rights of the Urbani SARS Formula to World Natural Cures, LLC, a firm directed by Mr. John Mills. Mr. Mills can be contacted at 1-800-336-9266 or via e-mail at john@cureforsars.net. The product is available in four formulations, including the Extra Strength Tincture, the Standard Urbani SARS Formula, the Extra Strength Homeopathic, and a nasal spray. The first three are prescribed the same way: "Apply nine drops under the tongue three times per day for up to nine days."

Because the proprietary formulas are not toxic in the manufactured amounts, the dosage does not have to be reduced for children, although the homeopathic remedy is especially recommended for young children and infants. Costs for the two-ounce bottles are extremely reasonable compared to the risky antiviral drugs and steroids currently prescribed for SARS.

Fever and the Mystery Disease SARS:

*********************************

A Bio-terror Weapon Spreads Around the World

The "mystery" disease SARS, severe acute re spiratory syndrome, is being used as a “bio-terror campaign” by the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control. They have used normal diseases with strange new names to terrorize people many times in the last 30 years. SARS is clearly a new variation of an old Influenza. So what makes SARS so dangerous?

Most flu comes from China, as in Asian Flu, Hong Kong Flu or Swine Flu, since it is mostly caused by rare avian or bird viruses crossing species with pig viruses.. Many rural Chinese farmers raise flocks of geese side-by-side with herds of swine or pigs. Geese and pigs are a traditional Chinese food source. Humans have no natural immunity to avian bird viruses, and are able to "catch" pig or porcine viruses because of the similarity of human and porcine lung and organ tissue.

If a pig is ill with porcine flu and then eats droppings from an avian-virus-infected goos e the result is a new cross-species flu virus, with the outer lining of a pig and the inner viral core of a goose, which spreads from central China around the world and usually kills about 100,000 or more each year in the U.S. Several new variations of goose-pig generated influenza occur each year coming mostly from China. Skip all the CDC recommended flu shots. They are much more dangerous killers than any Influenza. Here’s why.

The problem is the method of treatment. The viral core molecule of RNA cannot reproduce if the body temperature is above 101 degrees. Humans have genetically developed a natural method to defeat viral infections called a fever. With a mild fever of 101 degrees the telomers on the ends of the RNA molecule cannot attach and the virus cannot reproduce itself, and the body's white blood cells quickly destroy the invading virus. But the modern “regular” treatment for a fever from a cold or flu is to reduce the fever to ease the discomfort. This is wro ng.

By lowering the fever below 100 degrees, the invading virus is allowed to reproduce and spread massively throughout the body. If the multitude of viruses finally cross the blood/brain barrier the result is a fever of 104 or more, causing brain damage or death. This is often called Reyes Syndrome or Viral Encephalitis and is not a disease but the result of improper treatment with aspirin or other NSAIDs to lower the natural viral infection fever.

In the last 50 years a whole new large section in your local drug store has arisen called “Cold and Flu” medications. There seems to be a vast variety of various types to choose from, but really there are only two “flavors”: those containing Ibuprofen and those with Acetaminophen. These are commonly known as Advil and Tylenol. There are many other similar NSAIDs, but in cold medications those are the two most commonly found.

They are about the same, which is why they both remain side-by-side on the store shelves. These a re both NSAIDs (NonSteroidial Anti-Inflammatory Drugs) or synthetic forms of aspirin. Since aspirin is an old Native-American Indian traditional medication, made from Aspen Tree bark hence the name Aspirin, its patent ran out over a century ago. But the newer synthetic forms are still patent medicines; and thus the reason for the multi-million dollar ad campaigns each year to get you to buy the higher cost synthetics whenever you get a cough or cold. Don’t buy them.

If you become infected with even a single cold or flu virus, it quickly within minutes will enter one of your nose or lung cells, make many copies of itself and then the copies burst out of the damaged cell carrying with them a covering made from the old cell wall material. This covering is to protect the virus from attack since your body will attack and destroy all “foreign” invaders. But since the new viruses are covered with cell wall material made from your own body the white blood cells of your immune sys tem can’t see them. These many new viruses also within minutes invade other nearby healthy cells and repeat the process. Without anything to stop it, within several hours that one single virus will have copied itself many millions of times quickly overwhelming your body.

But that very first infected cell, when it became destroyed by the infecting virus sent out a hormonal signal created by bursting the cell wall which causes two things to occur. First, the white blood cells stored in your lymph nodes are sent out to seek and find the cause of the damaged cell. Second, a fever is induced.

In order to raise your body temperature to create a fever the heat losses through your extremities, such as the hands, feet and skin are reduced by slowing down and constricting the peripheral blood flow. This causes your hands, feet and skin to feel cold. You may even shiver. This occurs within several minutes of the first viral damage. This is called “catching a cold” and the cold fe eling is the first step to raising your core body temperature to above 101 degrees to stop any further viral reproduction and infection. At this point you may feel achy and uncomfortable, with a chilled sensation and even a mild fever. You may even have sneezed a few times, caused by the nasal irritation of the invading virus.

The term “catching a cold” is generic and refers to the chilled feeling you get, caused by either a “cold” which is due to a rhino virus or infection of the mucus lining of the nasal passages, or to an influenza or flu virus which only infects the lining of the lungs. The two are separate types of viruses. Whether you have a rhino or flu virus determines whether you begin to sneeze, with a runny nose from a cold, or begin to cough with lung congestion from a flu. But that usually occurs an hour or so later after the initial infection. If your immune system is not in good shape you may end up with both.

The medical term “rhino virus” is from the G reek word “rhino” meaning the “nose” and refers to a viral infection of the nasal membranes which we normally call a cold. The medical term “influenza” comes from the Spanish word “influence.” This comes from the times of the Crusades in the middle ages when armies of knights from western Europe, mostly England, France, Spain and Germany, first came into contact in the Middle Eastern Holy Land with merchant camel caravans from far Asia, carrying with them not only trade goods but many cases of pig-goose viral infections from China. The viral infections were probably in dried form on the Asian cloth and trade goods, which only needed to be moistened to become re-activated.

The Europeans had no clue where the deadly disease causing viral pneumonia and swift death was coming from. It was named and identified by the medieval Spanish doctors as the “Influenza de Diablo” or Influence of the Devil. Today we simply call it the flu. What this shows is that the Spanish did not know how to cure coughs and colds by allowing fevers, and that the Chinese farming technique of raising pigs and geese, creating new influenza viruses has been going on for thousands of years. But in those days it took over a year for new diseases to travel from Asia to Europe by c amel train. Today by jet a new pig-goose flu virus can travel from central China to New York City in less than 24 hours.

If, when you get the first hint of a cold or flu, you do as you should, and go to bed and stay warm overnight with a mild fever, then the white blood cells can quickly surround and destroy the infected cells, and no new viruses can reproduce to infect other cells because of the fever. These special type of immune system white blood cells are called macrophages, which is from a Greek word meaning “big eaters.” The macrophages are very large or “macro” white blood cells and their job is to ingest or eat, or “phageo,” the damaged body cells.

By surrounding and swallowing up the infected cells and using chemicals to “eat” or break apart all the material inside, the big macrophages effectively destroy the virus and stop the viral reproduction and infection. No macrophages nor any part of the immune system can actually seek out and destroy viruses directly . The macrophages can only find and destroy virus-infected cells, which are found since they have a different outer cell wall structure once the virus enters the cell. So it is a two-step process, but it actually works. And usually within 6 to 8 hours after the chills and fever begin, the virus infection is completely stopped and destroyed.

But, if instead of doing as you should and go to bed and stay warm, you also take a cough or cold medication to reduce the discomfort of the fever, you then actually allow the viruses to reproduce. They start to spread throughout your body. And with the reduced fever you feel well enough to go to work. You cough and sneeze invisible micro-droplets of mucus containing viruses and infect your family, friends and co-workers, and even the people you pass on the street. You become the source of a spreading epidemic. For a week you feel miserable but continue going to work until your fever starts to rise up to about 104. Then you go to the d octor or clinic. But by then it is too late.

X-rays show that your lungs are congested with fluid. That fluid is the huge number of puss-like lymph node macrophage white blood cells trying to cope with the vast array of virus-infected damaged lung cells. At this point it is often a losing proposition. You are diagnosed with viral pneumonia, and its about 50-50 whether you will survive. If you are young and in good health with an effective immune system you may survive. If you are older or with a damaged or aging immune system, viral pneumonia death is almost a certainty. There is no cure or treatment for viral pneumonia. All caused because you were mis-informed and took a cough or cold medication to reduce an uncomfortable fever. Your body would have prevented and quickly cured the viral infection, if you had allowed a fever to do its job and stop the viruses from reproducing.

Even the North American Indian “doctors” who first developed the Aspen Tree bark, aspirin pre cursor, medical treatment did not use it for viral infections. They used it only for bacterial infections. The bacterial infections are usually caused by cuts, gashes or damage to the skin or underlying tissue which produce swelling and pain, caused by bacteria entering the wound. A poultice of tree bark was applied to the skin to reduce the swelling and pain caused by a different type of macrophage which directly attacks and “eats” invading bacteria. Aspirin is still used effectively today as a mild pain reliever for injury induced swelling and pain. But the very same Indian “doctors” had a much better way to cure the cough and colds of viral infections. They induced a fever.

When European immigrants began to settle in the New World in the 17th and 18th centuries, they discovered that many native American tribes were treating their “patients” who had coughs, colds, chills and fever with something called a “sweat lodge.” The infected ill “patient” was isolated in a small quickly made thatched hut with a small hole dug in the center of the floor filled with water. Hot rocks from a nearby fire were put into the water until it boiled and produced steam. The “feverish patient” slept overnight in the steamy sweat lodge and the next morning took a quick brisk dip in a nearby cold stream and was completely cured.

The dip in the cold water was not actually part of the anti-viral treatment, but was really a morning kick-start for the circadian rhythm system to remove the logy “jet-lag” symptoms from having just had a high fever. Thus the “patient” is now invigorated and cured with a sense of health and well-being. No, the Indians did not know about viruses, bacteria or circadian rhythms. They only knew what worked best after thousands of years of medical trial and error. Sometimes grandma’s old folk remedy does work best. In this case it does.

The North American Indians were not the only ones to use the “sweat lodge.” It was well known and used worldwide in ancient times. It is the source of the healthful Scandinavian “Sauna Bath.” Even 2,000 years ago when the ancient Romans invaded Britain, they found that the locals were curing coughs and colds by placing the patients in small huts near a bubbling geothermal pool which produced natural steam. That natural steam pool was located at a village called Bath, England.

The ancient village of Bath is the source of the English name “steam bath.” The Romans built a large temple over that geothermal pool and spread the concept of the health-inducing Bath House throughout the Roman Empire. Unfortunately, the Romans lost the original medical reason for the therapeutic fever-inducing steam hut, and the Bath House became merely a popular “health spa” location for social interchange, which still remains today.

Even in modern day America and Europe until the 1930's and ‘40s a common home remedy for treating the onset of the chills and fever from viral infections was for t he “patient” to sit with feet in a basin of warm water, body wrapped in warm towels and the head draped with a large towel while breathing steam from a boiling tea kettle. The treatment usually didn’t work, since it did not last all night or long enough to work, but was clearly based on an attempt to duplicate the old Indian steamy “sweat lodge” therapy. In this case, grandma’s old folk remedy didn’t work. But at least, grandma’s loving TLC along with some warm chicken noodle soup, didn’t hurt.

Thus the traditional knowledge of how to quickly and effectively cure a common cold or flu infection due to viruses has been known worldwide since ancient times. But you are not supposed to know that. You are not supposed to know that you can quickly cure a viral infection overnight by yourself and at no cost to you. You are supposed to believe that you need costly medications and medical treatments to cure new life-threatening diseases. That’s the job of the Centers for Disease Co ntrol and the World Health Organization. That job is nothing short of medical bio-terrorism.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, Georgia is not what you might think it is. First note that the first word in the name is not “Center” but is “Centers.” T here is no Center in Atlanta that does medical research or cures diseases. What is in Atlanta is merely a government administrative building which administers the many “Centers” throughout the United States. The Atlanta office is funded and operated by the Federal Government. The many different Centers are mostly funded with private grant money from pharmaceutical companies who deal in drugs relating to the specialty of each of the many Centers.

If a Center in Montana, specializing in rare tropical reptilian viruses accidently discovers a new Framawitz Disease and finds that a drug called Gillibrulin will cure it, then the disease and the drug are owned by the pharmaceutical company which privately funded the medical research. The company then has the right to develop and exploit the drug to make billions in profit. Thus the reason for the strange separation between the Federal government office in Atlanta and the many separate privately-granted research Centers around the United States. And the reason for the name “Centers” for Disease Control.

The purpose of the main office in Atlanta is to be a promotional agent and salesman for the pharmaceutical companies who “discover fictitious disorders” at the various “Centers” and then convince you that to prevent Framawitz Disease you need to be on a lifetime dose of Gillibrulin, which you need as much as you need a horseshoe kick in the pants. But the CDC has convinced many people and their governments to pay billions of dollars per year around the world to the drug companies to prevent diseases by just that method. I call it bio-terrorism.

In the last 20 years, in my research, articles and media interviews I have identified 12 fictitious medical problems which have resulted in massive billion dollar profits to a few pharmaceutical houses. All of the medical problems were either man-made or don’t exist, and were hyped and promoted by the CDC. All of them are characterized by including the wo rds Disorder or Syndrome in their names. That’s because they are not legitimate diseases. I am sure you can think of a few of the big ones. I won’t mention them here, since that would take us off topic. Here we are only focusing on the latest hype, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, SARS, a classic case of CDC bio-terrorism.

According to an AP wire story from March 29, 2003, “On Saturday, the first doctor to realize the world was dealing with an unfamiliar disease died of the illness in Thailand. Dr. Carlo Urbani, 46, of Italy, a World Health Organization expert on communicable diseases, became infected while working in Vietnam, where he diagnosed a U.S. businessman hospitalized in Hanoi, the U.N. agency said. The businessman later died.”

What can I say? At age 46, Dr. Urbani was getting old enough for having an age-reduced immune system. If he had followed the normal CDC-WHO advice he would have treated the symptom of flu, the fever, and not the cause, the viral infec tion. He would have tried to treat and reduce the fever by using cough medications containing NSAIDs, which is the equivalent of signing his own and his older patient’s death warrants.

In the same article, the head of the CDC, Dr. Julie Gerberding said that no successful drugs or treatments had yet been found. Of course not, there is no and never has been any successful drug treatment for viral pneumonia. Especially when it gets to be a hospital case with a fever of 104 degrees. If the problem is a bacterial lung infection, then there are antibiotics like penicillin which can kill the bacteria. But antibiotics have no effect on viral pneumonia. The only known successful treatment for viral infections is a fever which completely stops the viral reproduction. Its been known for thousands of years.

The article continues, “U.S. health officials said Saturday that none of the antiviral drugs and other treatment they have tested are effective against a flu-like disease that has killed at least 54 people and sickened nearly 1,500 others around the world.” What can I say? Is this the blind leading the blind, or what? What we do learn is that SARS is “flu-like” and it has sickened 1,500 worldwide and has killed 54. But compare that to the normal annual flu season which sickens several hundred millions each year with a normal death rate of about one million annually worldwide, and about 100,000 dying of influenza-induced viral pneumonia each year in the U.S. alone.

SARS is not even a statistical drop in the medical bucket. And there is no indication that SARS is any different from any other form of cold or flu from a viral infection. So how does the CDC get to scare or terrorize you into believing that SARS is any worse or more dangerous than any other annual flu? Mostly its done with the assistance of an uninformed press and media which simply publishes the CDC handouts without any knowledge of what it means. This has been going on for about 25 years. I squarely target the news media as the primary cause of such medical nonsense for publishing without investigating the facts.

What is different and unique about SARS is simply the fact that the CDC has for the first time put a name on a flu variant while there are still so few cases. Normally each year the CDC identifies the many dozens of newly discovered flu forms with odd names like Asian type dcp-9w37 or some such gibberish that even your own doctor has no idea what it means. That information is only useful to CDC forensic technicians to make up a new flu-shot cocktail each year, based on finding out what pig-goose flu variants were discovered floating around Asia last year. And you thought you had to be a doctor to figure this stuff out.

Do the Chinese know that their farmers raising pigs and geese together are the source of most influenza in the world? Yes, its been discussed in the medical journals for the last 25 years. Do the Chinese do anything about it? No. Nobody knows why. Maybe its a Chinese form of population control to weed out the wheat from the chaff among their vast multitude of six billion Chinese. Who knows? The Chinese medical profession does not even collect data on the number of pig-goose influenza cases which occur each year and in what province, region or district they came from.

For whatever reason, pig-goose viral infections keep coming from Asia each year, as they have for thousands of years. You don’t need to believe the CDC story about SARS being some kind of new dangerous killer and you should run out to get your latest flu shot or dash to the store to stock up on a case of “Tylenol Cough and Cold” to help prevent that dreaded 104 degree fever. The only people who benefit from that CDC advice are the drug companies who make the flu shots and manufacture all those many “flavors” of cold medicines. It does not benefit you. To believe the CDC story about SARS and to treat the fever of flu with medi cations is to roll the dice with death. Don’t do it.

Here’s a prediction. Based on the fact that there is as yet no test to distinguish SARS from any other cold or flu, some medical labs are calling SARS a form of cold virus and others call it some kind of new influenza virus. The CDC is defining a case of SARS as a flu-like fever and having had recent contact with a person from Asia or China. In this day of jet travel, that pretty much includes anybody in the world who comes down with a cold or flu.

Since there are usually several hundreds of millions of cases of cold or flu each year, by mis-labeling SARS, that means without any clear differential diagnosis to separate the fever of SARS from flu, the number of reported cases in the next week will skyrocket from 1,500 to about 10,000, and to around 200,000 by the end of the month. Why?

Because your doctor does not have access to all those expensive tests to determine which brand of flu you might have, he just assum es you have “that thing that’s going around” which in this case is SARS. Thus you are diagnosed as having SARS even if you only have the sniffles. Not because there was any test to determine if that is true, but simply because, to be safe, your doctor assumes it to be true. T he CDC can then toot their horn and claim they have discovered a new rapidly expanding epidemic based on the number of “reported cases,” but all they have really done is mis-label flu as SARS.

The CDC has done this many times before. Two such cases are Eosinophilia Myalgia Syndrome (EMS), and Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD). Both billion dollar high-profit “diseases.” Probably the best thing to do is just ignore the CDC and get on with your life.

Best advice: do not try to lower a fever, it is your genetically derived natural human defense against any viral infection. Stay wrapped up and warm to cause a sweat. Drink fluids to replace the water lost by sweating. And within 6 to 8 hours overnight the cold or flu is gone. Many older doctors knew this, which is the reason for the old docs advice, “go to bed, stay warm, drink fluids.” But younger docs just out of med school have been taught there is a drug or pill to treat everything. The result of using expensive pills or over-the-counter medications to reduce the fever from colds and flu is prolonged illness, the epidemic spread of viral diseases and the unneeded deaths of hundreds of thousands each year. Don’t buy it.

GENEVA (May 23, 2003) - The World Health Organization has traced the SARS virus to the civet cat and two other small mammals in China, and researchers are investigating a possible link between the animals and the SARS outbreak in humans, an official said Friday.

Researchers from the University of Hong Kong examined 25 animals representing eight species in a live animal market in southern China and found the virus in all six masked palm civets they sampled, as well as in a badger and a raccoon dog.

Klaus Stohr, chief SARS virologist at the WHO, said Friday it was impossible to tell from the study whether any of the animals spread the virus to humans or whether they caught the virus from people.

''All these animals could have been infected by feed which was given to them at the market,'' Stohr said. ''Very often these markets have one major supplier of feed.''

He added that a recent study from Guangdong province in southern China - where the SARS outbreak first emerged in November - indicated that more than 30 percent of the early SARS cases there were food handlers.

''This is corroborative evidence that there make be a link between the wildlife and the emergence of SARS.''

The Hong Kong researchers said people could have been infected while raising, slaughtering or cooking the animals and that eating fully cooked meat was probably safe.

Civet cats are nocturnal animals related to the mongoose, with long tails and catlike bodies. They resemble small raccoons or weasels.

The researchers said it was possible that SARS was transmitted to the animals through human feces used in fertilizer, and that the virus did not originate with them. They recommended that such game animals be raised, slaughtered and sold under careful monitoring.

Meanwhile, the WHO lifted its SARS-related travel advisories Friday for Hong Kong and Guangdong province, declaring the virus there under control.

It continued to advise against nonessential travel to the Chinese capital, Beijing, and to the regions of Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Shanxi and Tianjin. It also continued to advise against travel to Taiwan, because of continuing new transmission of severe acute respiratory syndrome.

There also have been no recent reports of cases being exported to other countries from Hong Kong or Guangdong province. All new cases in the past 20 days have occurred in people who were ''already identified as contacts of a person with SARS and under active surveillance by the local health authorities,'' WHO added.

SARS has infected more than 8,000 people worldwide and killed at least 689, the vast majority in China and Hong Kong.

''The outbreak in many areas of China is ongoing, and will require continuing intensive efforts as well as a rapid injection of new resources to fully contain SARS,'' WHO said.

Also, an American physician with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention who was helping Taiwan battle SARS left the island Friday on a charter flight after developing a fever and other symptoms possibly caused by the virus.

Chesley L. Richards Jr. was headed for Atlanta, where the CDC is headquartered. He had been in Taiwan since May 15, visiting the emergency rooms and intensive-care units at two Taipei hospitals where SARS outbreaks were reported.

WHO says it is seeking $200 million to launch a fund to help Asian nations combat SARS through medical surveillance and analysis.

It also said the SARS has infected chains of up to 15 people and appears to be just as hardy in its last victim as in its first. Some other viruses mutate over time, and their ability to transmit weakens.

Taiwan reported 55 new SARS cases Friday but no new deaths. The island's total number of infections is 538 and the death toll is 60 - the third-highest toll after mainland China and Hong Kong.

In Canada, health officials say they fear that four people in a Toronto hospital may be ill with SARS. All four are in a respiratory isolation ward, two in critical condition. If confirmed, they would be the city's first new SARS cases since April 19.

The Daily Mail's Annette Witheridge on BA Flight J2, exposes the Sars travel shambles

AT Toronto Airport, it is hard to avoid the Sars scare. There are signs up everywhere warning of the virus and its symptoms.

But, astonishingly, air crews have adopted a devil-may-care stance and boarding a flight to Britain is as easy as catching a common cold.

Only 24 hours after the WHO added Toronto to its list of Sars no-go zones; staff at the airport were indifferent to questions about health screening. And my complaints about feeling ill fell on deaf ears.

Sars is rapidly spreading across the world via air travel and if anyone on my Thursday night flight to London has the virus then it is safe to assume it has spread to fellow passengers.

As I checked in for my flight to Heathrow at the British Airways counter, I should have been questioned about my health.

But despite the fact that I coughed all over the ticket agent, mopped my sweating brow and commented loudly that 1 was going down with flu, he merely smiled as he handed over my boarding pass.

I picked up three Sars leaflets that were lying on the counter and asked if the airline was providing surgical masks. He shook his head and suggested I try the airport shops.

By now 1 was sweating profusely and alarm bells should have gone off. At the X-ray security screening, Sars suspects are supposed to have their temperature taken by trained medical staff.

But even though I complained of flu and loudly asked a guard where I could buy a mask to stop me spreading germs, no one took a blind bit of notice. And surprisingly, there were no masks on sale anywhere.

The World Health Organisation added Toronto to its list of no-go zones after the pneumonia-type virus rapidly spread killing 16 people.

Technically, only emergency travel is allowed but American Airlines happily sold me a ticket from New York's La Guardia Airport with no questions asked.

Astonishingly, I did not even need to check in at Toronto as I had been given a boarding

pass that took me all the way to London.

But I decided to change my seat assignment, saying I felt ill, so that I could ask BA staff about Sars.

At the check-in gate, wearing a surgical mask I had borrowed from a friend who is a nurse, I clutched my chest, sniffed loudly and dabbed sweat with tissues.

A few passengers looked uneasy but no one moved away from me and BA staff did not

appear to notice my illness. As we boarded the 6.20pm flight, the pilot announced we were making an unscheduled stop in Montreal, where crews are overnighting instead of Toronto.

He did not mention the word Sars and the minute-long health video that followed was about avoiding deep vein thrombosis.

At 6.50pm a stewardess handed me an orange juice and, between coughs, I asked if she had any painkillers.

She wanted to know if I had a headache and when I shook my head and described Sars symptoms she literally legged it down the aisle.

Just 30 seconds later a supervisor appeared and discreetly asked if I had filled in a health questionnaire at Toronto airport.

‘No one asked me,’ I said with complete honesty, before explaining that I started felling ill after a business meeting in Toronto. She asked me what was wrong and I told her I ached all over, could hardly catch my breath between coughs and had a high temperature.

I could hear the panic rising in her voice as she hurriedly told me: `I have to inform the pilot because you are feelir unwell.’

The stewardess returned with two painkillers, a glass of water and a short form to fill out `because you requested a painkiller' she said, clearly not wanting to mention the S word.

She kept her distance as she wrote down my home address. It would have been simple to have used a fake one because she did not ask to see my passport or any other documents.

When our packed plane landed at Montreal at 7.20 pm, I expected the pilot to inspect me.

As a Sars suspect, this would be the only opportunity to take me off the plane and stop me spreading germs. Surprisingly, the crew got off without even a nod in my direction.

An hour later, as we prepared for take-off, the new pilot apologised for the ‘unusual circumstances’ surrounding the Monreal stopover, again without mentioning Sars. When the drinks trolley came round just before 9pm, I asked for a whisky, explaining to the stewardess that I was trying to ward off chest pains and flu- type aches.

She did not say a word. Fifteen minutes later dinner arrived and I asked if you were supposed to starve a fever or feed it.

PERHAPS she had been warned there was a Sars suspect on board and did not want to get too close. But she put up with my coughing as I queued for the toilet, although some passengers gave me dirty looks.

Only one other person on the flight wore a surgical face mask - an elderly woman who looked extremely pale and was clearly taking every precaution going.

I had managed to make my temperature rise by donning several layers of thermal clothes but just wearing the mask made me sweat profusely as it covered both my mouth and nose.

By 11 pm most people were settling down to sleep. I wandered up and down the cabin coughing.

People stared at my face mask but no one asked why I was wearing it - clearly they did not want me anywhere near them.

By now I had a real sore throat from feigning coughing, so at 7.40am I asked the stewardess for painkillers.

She did not ask any questions as she handed me two pills and a cup of water.

Twenty minutes later we landed at Heathrow, where I fully expected to be quizzed alongside all Toronto passengers about my health.

Instead, I sailed through passport control and immigration. No one cared where I had come from or where I was going to spread my germs.

Health officials stood accused yesterday of keeping Britain in the dark about the extent of the possible threat from Sars.

They are refusing to reveal the number of suspected cases, which is believed to far exceed the six `probable' ones already made public.

The Health Protection Agency - the Government body which looks after public health - yesterday said it was `not in the interests of the National Health Sexvice or the public' for the information to be released.

A spokesman confirmed that some people recently arrived from the Far East and Toronto

who have a fever or cough are being. held in isolation in NHS hospitals as suspected Sars

cases. But he refused to reveal how many.

Five suspected cases of the pneumonia-like illness emerged in London during the past week, it was disclosed yesterday.

One man is still in isolation at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital while doctors try to pin down whether he has Sars. The the all clearances have been given

The Department of Health admits that 248 people have been referred to their GPs by NHS

Direct after ringing up complaining of Sars-type symptoms over the past three weeks. But it also refused to be drawn on the number of suspected cases.

Ministers were last night accused of astonishing arrogance over the apparent cover-up,

which comes amid mounting fears that not enough is being done to prevent the spread of the

disease in the UK.

The Government is facing growing criticism over its handling of the crisis and refusal to make Sars a notifiable disease, which would give doctors powers to detain people to protect the public.

More than 51,000 passengers a week are flying in to the UK from high-risk Sars zones. UK airports are not carrying out screening, and many passengers have under- gone only haphazard checks at foreign airports before departure.

The virus has become a global health threat, infecting more than 4,400 people and killing 279.

Tory health spokesman Dr Liam Fox said: `The whole approach by the Government seems to be about keeping the public in a state of ignorance.

It is typical of Ministers arrogant approach - they seem to think people are too stupid to be

told the truth.'

Mike Stone, chief executive of the Patient's Association, said:

`The NHS is supposed to be open - this information, on point of principle, should be available to everyone.

`We are supposed to be living in a democracy.’

Liberal Democrat health Spokesman Dr Evan Harris said the Government’s handling of the crisis was a cause for concern.

‘A lack of screening at airports and the failure to make Sars a notifiable disease are serious issues which Ministers have failed to fully explain,' he added.

A Health Protection Agency spokesman said: `We are receiving daily reports of suspected Sars cases and we investigate all of them. But we do not think it is in the interest of the NHS or the public for details of those cases to be released.

`Some may go into hospital. They could be treated in isolation. Some may go home.

`If we start listing them all it is actually not helpful. It is meaningless and misleading.

`The public would not appreciate being given figures which could change daily.'

H e said the definition of suspected cases was wide - ranging and could include travellers with colds and flu who later turn out not to have Sars.

The National Blood Service yesterday said anyone ever suspected of having Sars is to be banned indefinitely from giving blood. It is still not certain whether Sars can be transmitted through blood but a spokesman said the measures had been implemented as a precaution.

School children quarantined in a hotel after returning from Hong Kong have been driven out by panic-stricken guests.

The residents confronted the manager of the Norbreck Castle Hotel in Blackpool, demanding that the children be kicked out because of fears about Sars.

The 15 pupils, aged from 11 to 18, were staying in a self-contained wing because of their school's precautions over the illness . They have since moved to private housing.

A SARS vaccine could be developed by the end of the year, experts predicted yesterday

Virology specialist Professor John Oxford said teams of international scientists were likely to create a vaccine in record time because of the global threat.

The World Health Organisation believes that a reliable laboratory test for Sars could be available in weeks.

Professor Oxford, of Queen Mary's College in London, said: `The co-operation of the scientific community is such that we could see a first generation vaccine very quickly - by the end of the year

`No other vaccine has been created in that space of time, but there is such a huge amount of work being done and a huge desire to see it done that it is entirely possible.'

A spokesman for the World Health Organisation said the first vaccine could be available by the end of the year but safety checks might delay its introduction for a year or two.

However, a vaccine may not work indefinitely because of the likelihood of the virus mutating.

Scientists believe a coronavirus - related to the common cold - is responsible for Sars. A new form of the illness may have jumped the species barrier from animals to humans, it is feared.
