Product Description
If you had to rely upon only one source of information to help you and your family survive a severe bird flu pandemic, the Bird Flu Manual would be your best bet, hands down! In a severe pandemic, you will be required to cope with the gravest medical and social consequences with virtually no outside help. Having a proper appreciation of the risks and taking prudent steps to deal with them ahead of time, are ways to cope successfully with this crisis. Most people who will die from influenza do so from pneumonia or dehydration. Dehydration can be readily detected and treated at home and explaining how to do that is one of the major focuses of the Bird Flu Manual. Preventing or treating dehydration in people with pandemic flu will save more lives than all other treatments combined. The home treatment advice provided by Dr. Woodson is based upon 25 years of Internal Medicine practice and experience treating hundreds of flu patients. From this foundation, he has concentrated the essence of lifesaving care of mild to severely ill flu patients at home in the Bird Flu Manual. That the pandemic is coming is certain. What we don’t know is when and how bad it will be. Dr. Woodson provides the reader of the Bird Flu Manual with a survey of the medical and scientific literature dealing with influenza pandemics and Bird Flu in particular. |

Bird Flu Manual is a fantastic resource by Bobbi Andrzejek  5 Stars
April 08, 2008
This is a fantastic book. If you only buy one book about the flu pandemic, this is the one you should get. It has great instructions for planning, preparation and home care.

If you want to be prepared for bird flu, this is a good read by L. Rime (New City, NY United States)  4 Stars
January 26, 2008
If you are someone who would like to learn more about bird flu and the potential effects of a pandemic, this is a great read. I think the author is a bit too doomsday, but he gives a good description of the disease and what can happen, and also some very good practical ideas of ways you can prepare for a pandemic. I have employed some of his suggestions and think this book is an excellent practical guide.

Don't face a pandemic without it. by EJM (USA) 5 Stars
September 26, 2007
Because a pandemic happens in many places at once, it is absurd to believe that the government and an over-extended healthcare system can take care of everyone's needs. We'll face the next pandemic with the resources we personally set aside to do so. The Bird Flu Manual explains what we need to do to prepare in advance of a pandemic (as in now). Most importantly, it explains how we can care for loved ones should they fall ill. Because a pandemic emergency may result - and likely will - in disruptions to basic services such as Internet and electricity, it's a very good idea to have essential information in print, on the bookshelf. That's why this invaluable book is in my library.

Must have for planning purposes by H. M. Craig Jr. 5 Stars
August 23, 2007
If the worst case scenario occurs and a pandemic occurs this book should be stored with the home emergency supplies. It is an invaluable resource for how to deal with possible medical, home logistics, and self presevation. Not suitable for young readers due to frank, graphic medical discussions.

Extremely thorough by Alaska Denise (Rural Alaska) 5 Stars
March 29, 2007
This book covers pandemic concerns not covered by many other sources including solid suggestions for home nursing. I'm especially pleased to see it address psychological aspects and how to handle them in the absence of professionals - which may well be the reality.
This information is useful for any emergency where folks will be isolated - something we should all be prepared for. Better to be prepared than scared.
This book has it all and is well worth the expense.
