Controlling Epidemics on a Person-to-Person Basis

A practical guide from Dr. Grattan Woodson, The Bird Flu Manual educates Americans on containing and surviving a possible influenza pandemic

Decatur, Georgia (PRWeb) November 19, 2006 -- Years of research culminate in The Bird Flu Manual, Dr. Grattan Woodson's comprehensive guide to surviving an influenza pandemic predicted to affect 100 million Americans in the near future. Since 1997, Grattan Woodson, MD FACP, has studied cases of avian influenza, more commonly known as "bird flu," in order to provide Americans with a common sense plan based on simple medical practice for handling this disease should it reach proportions predicted by the United States Government.

Woodson's manual equips citizens for the worst, including knowledge of how to treat seriously ill family members and friends at home should hospitals become flooded with affected patients. Woodson's reasons for fearing a pandemic are supported by scientific as well as government studies, and by Woodson's own investigation into past influenza pandemic including the severe 1918 Spanish Flu.

The Bird Flu Manual offers an alternative to fear, enabling control on an individual basis of what might otherwise become an unrestrained killer.

The Bird Flu Manual is available for sale online at Amazon.com, Borders.com, and through additional wholesale and retail channels worldwide.

About the Author
Grattan Woodson, MD practices internal medicine at the Druid Oaks Health Center in Decatur, GA. He became concerned about avian influenza after learning about the first human cases in Hong Kong in 1997. His interest grew when the disease re-emerged in 2003-04 and he began to study it in earnest. His work led to the conclusion that humankind was about to be visited again by a severe influenza pandemic resembling the 1918 Spanish Influenza. In order to help prepare his patients for this possibility, he began writing on this topic which ultimately resulted in the publication of two books, The Bird Flu Preparedness Planner in November 2005 and The Bird Flu Manual in September 2006.
