Many thanks for the link, it puts into perspective very clearly the various plagues of humanity, very interesting. Remember the panic with HIV quite clearly at the time, now we live with it and you rarely hear about it though it is still with us.

Other than Ebola appearing in the same place (what are they doing in central Africa that has this coming up) it seems that SARs related viruses seem to be prevalent in their area - and they dont seem to understand that what you eat can be the cause of you dying.


Just need something to change there view in killing everything ' for its medicinal properties ', which is in most cases a complete and utter con by the purveyors of the made up medicine fraternity.


Their culture is for the most part based on history, and the number of inventions / discoveries are amazing, more than most other cultures and then they go and undo all that by believing that the strength of an animal can give you the same strength or cure an ailment - a couple of centries regression in a few fleeting seconds.


Sorry but just my view.

Is it really any different to the western idea that asking a dead "holy" person can cure a serious or fatal illness or that diluting a chemical so much that there is not a single molecule of the original left will have medicinal effects (just as long as you shake it in the right way when doing it.)
