Eight thousand of you wrote to North Dakota Uni,to ask them to stop killing pigs,for the purpose of teaching about "trauma training".Please write to the Provost and Vice President,to ask if he (Dr Craig Schnell)will have the decency to stop this.

(NaturalNews) Homeopathy was successful in treating the flu epidemic of 1918 and can provide answers to questions about the 2009 Swine Flu. Homeopathy can provide quick and inexpensive relief for symptoms of the flu. A system of medicine based on the principles of "like cures like," homeopathy uses plant, mineral and animal sources for the natural flu remedies. Homeopathy is based on ideas from ideas dating back to Egyptian medicine. The term "homeopathy" was coined by the medical doctor and medical reformer, Samuel Hahnemann in the 1800s. Homeopathic remedies have been used to treat flu symptoms for two centuries.

Was homeopathy successful in treating the flu epidemic of 1918?
Yes.
While the mortality rate of people treated with traditional medicine and drugs was 30 percent, those treated by homeopathic physicians had mortality rate of 1.05 percent.
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.

What homeopathic remedies were used to successfully treat the Spanish flu in 1918?
Gelsemium and Bryonia
According the Dr. Frank Wieland, MD, in Chicago, "(With) 8,000 workers we had only one death. Gelsemium was practically the only remedy used. We used no aspirin and no vaccines."

Homeopathy was 98% successful in treating the Spanish flu epidemic in 1918?
Yes.
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, had 81 cases of flu on the way over to Europe. He reported, "All recovered and were landed. Every man received homeopathic treatment.

How do they know that a virus caused the flu epidemic of 1918, when the first virus was not isolated until 1933?
They don`t. In fact, many believe that the epidemic was actually a vaccine reaction.
When Army vaccinations became compulsory in 1911, the death rate from typhoid vaccination rose to the highest point in the history of the US Army. US Secretary of War Henry L Stimson reported that seven men dropped dead after being vaccinated. He also reported 63 deaths and 28,585 cases of hepatitis as a direct result of yellow fever vaccination during only six months of WW1. According to a report in the Irish Examiner, "The report of the Surgeon-General of the US Army shows that during 1917 there were admitted into the army hospitals 19,608 men suffering from anti-typhoid inoculation and vaccinia. When army doctors tried to suppress the symptoms of typhoid with a stronger vaccine, it caused a worse form of typhoid paratyphoid. But when they concocted an even stronger vaccine to suppress that one, they created an even worse disease Spanish flu."

Did the flu strain that caused the 1918 flu ever return?
Yes.
The 1918 `Spanish Flu` was first reported in an American military, Camp Funston, Fort Riley, in troops preparing for WW1 and receiving 25 vaccinations. According to the CDC, the same flu strain appeared only one other time: in 1976. This was again at a US army base, Fort Dix, and again, was seen in recently vaccinated troops, and only in them. The virus has not appeared anywhere else.

Is homeopathy successful in treating the modern flu?
Yes.

What can I do to prevent the flu?
Good food, clean living, rest and exercise are the basic ingredients.
There are certain nutrients that have been shown to help enhance the immune system, such as echinacea, vitamins C, E and beta carotene, zinc, and elderberries.

I sent in my opinion to Mr. Schnell to stop testing on animals who would never in their right minds volunteer to be tested upon. If animals could talk I bet they would give the human race a few choice words!! Take care all of you caring, intelligent people.

I once rescued a pot-bellied pig who had been dumped on the road, having probably grown too big fo his owners. He had metal fence wire threaded through his nose, and he was so scared. It took three determined women 2 hours to get him into a trailer to get him to safety - then off to the vet to get the wire removed, some painkillers and all the necessary injections. He lived happily with me, my ponies, dog and cats for 2 years, until I had to move to a new job. He went to a friend, wrecked her husband's garden, and is now living in a horse recue, and greeting all the visitors with his cheerful friendly grunts. He was one of the most affectionate animals I have ever known, and if any one mentions 'Pork' or 'Ham' I get an image of his cheeky face, and feel sick at the thought of any pigs being harmed. I hate factory farming, and no animals should be used for experimantation or classroom study.

Noted and email sent -- see my comment below.

So many people have already written to you about this barbaric practise. Have you no shame, no decency? How can you justifiy this when scientific alternatives i.e. non-killing of sentient beings are available? Ignoring the science advances in such a deliberate way surely sends a message that you are killing just for the sake of killing, with no respect for the animals, without a concience or a thought for the suffering you inflict. Shame on you, shame on your institution!

If you don't live in the USA, just add another digit to your postal code. The peition letter is open to all countries, the choice for non-usa states is right at the bottom of the drop down list. This is a cheat, but an honest cheat...
