The Swine Flu Pandemic
by David Christopher, MH
So…. we are having a PANDEMIC!
With the announcement by WHO that the swine flu (or H1N1 flu) is a pandemic many people are in a panic and looking for answers. In fact, in Argentina the health care system was essentially shut down by hordes of people rushing to the hospitals to find out if they had swine flu.
Every article in the media indicates something different; from how many cases there are worldwide; to how soon a vaccine will be ready for the general public, to when it is predicted to get worse (after all, WHO has declared it unstoppable). Who and what are we supposed to believe?

· Gulf War Syndrome -1990’s
· Swine/ Avian (H1N1) - present
· Avian Flu - it has been predicted that this will be a pandemic in the future
The pandemic of 1918 was devastating to the population at large. It is estimated that it killed 50-100 million people worldwide.
