Some History on Flu

The most devastating outbreak of disease in history was the 1918 Flu Pandemic. Over a billion people - half the world's population at the time - fell ill as the dreaded Spanish Flu swept the globe. By the time the killer virus died out a year later, an estimated 40 million people had lost their lives.

According to the World Health Organization, the new strain of flu bears striking similarities with the virus that caused the 1918 outbreak. Both belong to a variant of the H1N1 strain of influenza A. And in another parallel, the Mexico disease - which is believed to have killed more than 100 people - seems to affect young and otherwise healthy people, rather than the normal risk groups of the very young, old or infirm.

While many are concerned that we may be facing another dangerous epidemic, or pandemic, there is little reason to panic.

There are proven solutions to offer hope.

HOMEOPATHY SUCCESSFUL IN 1918 EPIDEMIC

While the mortality rate of people treated with traditional medicine and drugs was 28.2%, those treated by homeopathic physicians had mortality rate of 1.05%. Of the fifteen hundred cases reported at the Homeopathic Medical Society of the District of Columbia there were only fifteen deaths. Recoveries in the National Homeopathic Hospital were 100%. In Ohio, of 1,000 cases of influenza, Dr. T. A. McCann, MD, Dayton, Ohio reported NO DEATHS.

Medical reports state that Homeopathy was 98% successful in treating the 1918 epidemic. Ohio reported that 24,000 cases of flu treated allopathically had a mortality rate of 28.2% while 26,000 cases of flu treated homeopathically had a mortality rate of 1.05%. In Connecticut, 6,602 cases were reported, with 55 deaths; less than 1%. Dr. Roberts, a physician on a troop ship during WWI, treated 81 cases of flu on the crossing to Europe. He reported, "All recovered and were landed. Every man received homeopathic treatment."

The homeopathics used were Gelsemium and Bryonia. Dr. Frank Wieland, MD, of Chicago, wrote "(With) 8,000 workers we had only one death. Gelsemium was practically the only remedy used. We used no aspirin and no vaccines."
