      About The Author

      Introduction

      I want to give you a little idea of my credentials and what my experience is, so that you might think I know what I am talking about or you might not, but at least you will have information to make a decision about that. I have a Bachelors Degree in Nursing. I got that back in 1978. I was licensed as an Acupuncturist in the state of Montana in 1980. I have been in practice about 30 years now. I have a practice in Whitefish. I work at Bridge Medical Center two days a week and then I have an office in my home in Bigfork, where I work three days a week.

      Once I started doing acupuncture practice, I realized that it was not enough for me. I was in Missoula at the time and people started bringing me all their kids, because there was nobody else doing natural medicine in Missoula in 1979-1980. At that time I did not know Japanese pediatric acupuncture, so I was at a loss of what to do with these kids. I had met an older woman from Whitefish; she was a homeopath, Mary McFarland. So I was coming to her home, meeting with her, studying with her, reading books she had told me to read and then I went through a formal class some years later and so I am a certified classical homeopath. I took the one-year post-graduate course at the International Foundation for Homeopathy in Seattle. I also have a Ph.D. in Nutrition and Iridology from the University of Health Science in Honolulu, Hawaii (that was pretty rough duty). I taught for 10 years with Dr. Bernard Jensen, who is a world famous nutritionist. He has 56 books on the market or something like that. He is now dead. I taught with him from 1983 to 1993. We did weeklong nutritional classes based on the science of iridology. Looking at the iris of the eye and making an organ analysis from that and then prescribing nutrition. That’s it, I have just been going to work everyday for 30 years and seeing lots of patients, so I have a lot of experience in all the things that I just mentioned.

      What attracted me to this idea of the flu is that I was listening to the radio and there was a recording of a woman who had called into some talk show and she was talking about the bird flu and they were transmitting this bird flu all over the United States by truck. This guy was being paid in cash under the table. So what am I suppose to do about that? I can’t do anything about that. So I called John at KGEZ radio and just said Look, that’s all well and good, nothing I can do about it, but I know a lot about the flu and I know about a lot of things that people can do for themselves and their families to avoid this mess. He said, Well, come on. I will give you as much time as you want on the radio. I went on the radio with Tom Tracy for a couple of hours. Tom Tracy is an herbalist with Swan Valley Herbs in Bigfork. So between us we got some things put out there, but there is so much more information. I think it is important for people to understand the depth of natural medicine, in the past, for treating real disease. So a lot of the things I am going to be telling you tonight are about the 1918 flu, because it was a killer. The people that took herbal medicine and homeopathic medicine did very well. I am going to explain that and explain the remedies. I will explain what happened in 1918, how and why the flu happened and I am going to break this whole thing down into a few sections.

      First of all what can you do now? What do you have to do now to avoid any contagious disease? That’s the other thing that I should say. This is not just about what is happening right this second; this is contagious disease in general. It doesn’t have to be any particular virus. Flu rolls through town every year. If you do the things I tell you tonight it won’t be rolling into your house.

      The first thing we need to talk about is what to do now, then what to do if the flu comes to town, because that is different. It is only in Missoula so far, so I don’t think we are going to get it for a while. Third, you need to know what to do if you actually get the flu and fourth, what to do if you get vaccinated. There are definite things that you need to do if you have to take the vaccine. You need to do some things after vaccination to prevent yourself from becoming ill.

      WHAT TO DO NOW

      Build up your immune system, obviously. There are two things that I believe are incredibly important for building the immune system and they
