Bird Flu Hype

The reasons that I wrote a book about "bird flu" did not start from an overwhelming interest in bird flu. In fact, when the story first broke in the early part of 2004, I had little interest in the few deaths that had occurred due to influenza ostensibly from a "bird" virus.

What caught my attention were the massive plans that rapidly unfolded with near-hysteria at the World Health Organization. What was that all about? Then came reports of the billions of dollars being shoveled into the coffers of the vaccine manufacturers to create a new influenza vaccine.

I had to check this out.

Once I began to investigate this flurry of activity, I found that the hype of a "coming pandemic" was nothing more than a recycled drama, rife with government manipulation brought to you courtesy of an obedient media. The obvious beneficiaries are the drug companies. Less apparent, but much more insidious and perverse, are the behind-the-scenes agendas of the huge agribusiness conglomerates and the enormously overlooked problems of agrichemicals and the chemicals of war.

An often-repeated quote from writer Dresden James comes is a favorite of mine:

A truth's initial commotion is directly proportional to how deeply the lie was believed. When a well-packaged web of lies has been sold gradually to the masses over generations, the truth will seem utterly preposterous and its speaker a raving lunatic.

It wasn't the world being round that agitated people, but that the world wasn't flat.

FOWL! Bird Flu: It's Not What You Think is meant to cause a lot of "commotion." But it is time for Americans to wake up to the deception being promoted through the propagation of false premises by government agencies and the manipulated media. The avian flu scare is just the latest act in an ongoing world government drama.

What people are saying:

"I was expecting an in depth book on the vagaries of the Bird Flu, but instead what I found was a virtual treatise on the whole vaccine industry, its politics, pseudo-science, and the government/industry intertwined collusion to push vaccines down the throats of citizens. I most appreciated the level of documentation and supporting references as well as the down to earth explanations of the science behind the flu as well as other vaccines, not to mention the excursion into the history of flu and vaccination in general. On top of all that, you can write. I do enjoy the creative and proper use of the King's English, and you have proven your ability in that area here as well. All in all, this book impressed me very much. I'd say that "It's not what you think." ---John Wilson, MD. NC, USA

"This is an excellent book - a thorough systematic and well researched book which documents the REAL reasons for birds and people to be dying of 'bird 'flu'namely toxic residues of pesticides and herbicides including those persisiting form the agent orange bombings in vietnam, the appalling, cruel and inhumanely toxic conditions in which poultry are factory famed and the vested interests behind decimation of the traditional family poultry breeders and the pushing of a useless and dangerous vaccine. It includes what you really need to know to be healthy which is the only real immunity.

An excellent read, I couldn't stop turning the pages." ---Dr. Jayne Donegan, London, UK

"While FOWL! centers on the avian flu, it is comprised of information that ties together environmental, political, economic, and health issues in a way that presents a bigger picture to the reader. Dr. Tenpenny's interest and understanding of wholistic health is evident in the research and scope of the book. Through questioning the reliability of reports that the avian flu could jump to humans, she has looked at the bigger picture, which involves our environment, political influences on health care and information, and how economic factors contribute to situations that weaken health. The book is well written and researched. It is also easy to read and presented in a way that is understandable to the reader. I had a hard time putting the book down. Also of use, was information in the book that encourages the reader to explore further into potential areas of interest,or to become involved in solving the dilemas that contribute to making us all more susceptible to illness." ---K. Van Nostran

Excerpts from FOWL!

"Exposing mice to 10 ppt of dioxin (as found in Agent Orange) prior to exposure to influenza A doubled the mortality rate among mice."

"The deaths of migratory and domestic birds are an admonition of global environmental disaster. The mass culling of our early-warning messengers is akin to shutting off a blaring fire alarm without looking for a fire."

"Wild birds and domestic chickens may will be described as victims of bird flu not vectors, and H5N1 is only a contributing factor to the demise of birds loaded with toxicities rather than the causative factors."

"Consider this possible scenario: Every new chick in the world could be replaced by a genetically modified chicken.These chicks must be fed genetically modified corn to grow to market weight.More than an abject lesson in how a company creates demand for its products, it is a script for how farmers worldwide are targeted to become indentured servants of global agribusiness."

"In our fear-based, drug-driven society, emphasis is placed on the death rate, not on the survival rate. Instead of fearing disease, perhaps we should consider microbes as handy to have around, inflaming the system and cleaning out the muck."

"Once you start looking for answers, the truth is hidden in plain sight. When you go to the Land of Oz and pull back the curtain, it is amazing what you find."
