Some time ago there were articles alledging bird flu could be treated by korean kim chi. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/asia-pacific/4347443.stm This is worth investigating. Also, since bird flu is a flu virus, it should be treatable by lauric acid, which is found in coconut oil Lauric acid is antiviral, and has been investigated for its effects on related diseases like SARS and (ordinary)influenza and also HIV...all are lipid coated viruses. |

I'll be stocking up myself on sauerkraut and already have plenty of anise star oil.
It's interesting to watch how sauerkraut is selling on eBay ... Because of constant questions from friends I put together a small article about the sauerkraut story and how 7 Eleven (in the US and Japan) may help us out... http://www.real-food-for-thought.com Hope this all blow away, I heard that our chicken farms are pretty much closed to the migrating birds, but there is always those free roaming chicken farms. I use to live on a chicken farm back in the 60's in Vineland, NJ and our chickens were for the most part kept in coops. Had to innoculate them several times a year with all types of vaccine to keep them from getting sick. What a pain...as a teenager I hated having to pick up as many as possible (at night when they were sleeping) in both hands and have them shot with a vaccine gun. Not a very pleasant, odor wise situation. Have a great day! MikeR |

Mike, Dont assume sauerkraut will help. Theres been no experiment done on that that im aware of. The food tested was korean KIM CHI,not quite the same thing: http://www.lifeinkorea.com/culture/kimchi/kimchi.cfm The following article: on kim chei and airconditioning shows someones paying attention: ' Seoul - South Korean firm LG Electronics is poised to start marketing an air conditioner with a filter made using an enzyme from the pungent national dish kimchi that is aimed at protecting against the bird flu virus. Kimchi, typically made from pickled radish or cabbage packed with garlic, ginger and hot peppers, is renowned for its supposed health benefits - as well as its powerful odour. "We developed the filter with the aim of protecting people against bird flu," LG spokesperson Park Se-won said by telephone, citing four studies from domestic and overseas institutions that she said showed the filter eliminated the deadly H5N1 virus. etc http://www.news24.com/News24/Technology/News/0,,2-13-1443_18 81597,00.html
Also, on those pesky chickens, the root of the epidemic is fctory farming, not free range chooks. ' Fowl play: The poultry industry's central role in the bird flu crisis GRAIN | February 2006 Read the press release (Feb 2006) Read GRAINs letter about bird flu to the FAO (Feb 2006) Backyard or free-range poultry are not fuelling the current wave of bird flu outbreaks stalking large parts of the world. The deadly H5N1 strain of bird flu is essentially a problem of industrial poultry practices. Its epicentre is the factory farms of China and Southeast Asia and -- while wild birds can carry the disease, at least for short distances -- its main vector is the highly self-regulated transnational poultry industry, which sends the products and waste of its farms around the world through a multitude of channels. Yet small poultry farmers and the poultry biodiversity and local food security that they sustain are suffering badly from the fall-out. To make matters worse, governments and international agencies, following mistaken assumptions about how the disease spreads and amplifies, are pursuing measures to force poultry indoors and further industrialise the poultry sector. In practice, this means the end of the small-scale poultry farming that provides food and livelihoods to hundreds of millions of families across the world. This paper presents a fresh perspective on the bird flu story that challenges current assumptions and puts the focus back where it should be: on the transnational poultry industry. |

How much Kim Chi should we eat? I see it can be purchased canned but I am at a loss as to how much I should buy.

Thanks. Who is the largest mfg of Kim Chi in the US? This amount (if true?) would be only if a person gets the flu correct? I was thinking of serving some several times a week once we self-quarantine. We will be 8 people and 1 cup per day x 3-6 months is a LOT of Kim Chi. Also - is there an effective difference between sauerkraut and Kimchi? The effective ingrediants seem the same. I will definitely stock up on Kim Chi but it seems to be avaialbe only by mail, 5 oz cans about $2 + shipping, while 32 oz organic sauerkraut is about $4 locally. If it is not as good, then I will get KimChi ... but if it is, it would be an easier better buy. -Sheila |

I was just wondering if any has verified this study about KimChi. I was just thinking that it seems like a great way to sell KimChi world wide. Certainly a good way to sell KimChi to me! -Sheila |

Give me a break people! Kim Chi!!!!! It's cabbage and hot sauce. Perhaps we should treat other viruses, like AIDS, with Ketchup and Canola oil. There's plenty of acid in tomatoes. Wow I thought I had seen it all.

Start now eating it! Do not wait, you have to heal your digestive tack (atleast several times a week), but you can take it as soon as you become sick also (DAILY)! 80% of your immune system starts with a healthy digestive track and correct flora! Unhealthy people have bad digestive tracks and also have inflammatory diseases, such as allergies and such! This has been used for the H5N1 in chickens and they have been known to recover according to the farmers. http://www.sauerkraut.com/news02.htm - this is the company that I contacted: GREAT People! I have to run to the store. I will back to answer more questions. |
