Sometimes, people wait until they are ill before looking for a remedy. Often, waiting allows the infection to gain a strong-hold. Sometimes, this can result in death.

The news media might lead you to believe that Avian Flu is untreatable with anti-viral drugs. On the contrary, anti-viral drugs, like Tamiflu^® can be effective, but only if administered within the first 48 hours of the onset of symptoms. Symptoms of Avian Flu include Pneumonia, Diarrhea, vomiting and abdominal pain.

One drug that is prescribed is Tamiflu^®. Typically, for common influenza, a recommended dosage would be 75 mg. twice a day. For Avian Flu, a double dose, which would be 150 mg. twice a day is recommended and to do this for seven continuous days. In order for Tamiflu^® to be most effective, it is imperative that it be administered within 48 hours or so of the onset of the virus. Tamiflu^® for Avian Flu is potentially life saving. However, many of those who contracted this virus did not receive the drug until six to eight days after onset.

Within news stories the names Tamiflu^® and Avian Flu have gone hand-in-hand, making Tamiflu^® a household name. There is evidence to suggest that there is a shortage of the drug.

Now, there is an herbal alternative for Tamiflu^®. It's called DEFEND-RX^®.

A little about DEFEND-RX. Star Anise, standardized to shikimic acid, may be the world's only natural weapon against bird flu (Avian Flu). Its chief active constituent, shikimic acid, is also the main component in Tamiflu^®, the antiviral drug that can reduce the severity of flu symtoms. The cost of shikimic acid has increased tenfold overseas, due to the high demand. Our manufacturer has recently managed to secure a few tons of shikimic acid extracted from star anise. According to a presentation last year by a Roche chemist, it takes 13 grams of star anise to make 1.3 grams of shikimic acid, which in turn can be made into 10 Tamiflu^® capsules - enough to treat one person.

Why Defend-RX?

DEFEND-RX, contains 75mg. shikimic acid in a highly purified form, and 425mg. of star anise 20:1 extract. This allows people to get both the broad-spectrum benefits from star anise, as well as guaranteed potency of 75mg. shikimic acid per tablet (identical to the dosage used in Tamiflu^®). Please take this bird flu seriously. Though it may turn out to be another bogus cry of "wolf," like SARS, it may be the real deal, like Spanish flu of a century ago that killed over 20,000,000 (20+ million) people worldwide. In today's worldwide economy, this pandemic could far exceed already dire predictions of as high as 150,000,000 deaths worldwide. It's important to get yourself and your family some shikimic acid. Whether it's in the form of Tamiflu^®, DEFEND-RX, or another source, be sure of it's skikimic acid content. With something as serious as bird flu, do not buy from an unreliable source.
