We are currently in the midst of a flu epidemic. Whilst nobody cares much about the diagnosis swine flu anymore, it became without any doubts a fact that whole Europe is suffering from the flu. In our vicinity  – one may say – crowds of people are sick. Many a workplace is deserted, gyms and public traffic means are empty, schools have been closed... Our team who is – I have to admit – currently on extraordinary high doses of biestmilch is and has been healthy all a along.

this data was published by WHO today. Around me more and more people come down with a (swine) flu, most of them with the mild form. Schools around us stay closed. Fatalities are meandering through the press. The causalities between the death of these persons and the swine flu are not more than assumptive, far from confirmed. People are not sure whether they should favor the vaccination or not, uncertainty is increasing, and the information policy from authorities and media are in line which means pro vaccination program. Some of you may call this propaganda ;-)

Today is our first day in Kailua-Kona. What you usually do on your first day here, and so we did too, is shopping. First goal was Walmart to get the basics for our condo. Meanwhile I had completely forgotten that the swine flu panic was still on. On our journey we hadn't met any controls, our temperature was not checked anywhere, nor did we undergo any other examinations. We as biestmilch junkies feel safe anyway ;-)  ... And then we arrived at Walmart this morning, and I couldn't believe it, how patiently people were cuing in front of a desk with little medical odds and ends. They were actually waiting for their swine flu shot. What would they do, if they knew that biestmilch is as a matter of fact more effective than a flu shot? They would probably unbelievingly laugh at us.

In times in which the swine flu is all over the town immunity may become even the word of the year ;-) ... Biestmilch is one of the best substances to strengthen and stabilize immunity.  Threfore we use the current interest in immunity to launch this blog with all the themes we have already collected during the years on this topic. And more is about to come every other day. Comics by Leopold Maurer, Vienna

My friend Fritz is an enthusiastic chili raiser. He loves the habaneros, which are the very very hot chilies. Every year he pollenizes his plants to grow the next generation. This sounds like a very straightforward process, but it is not. Bumble-bees are masters of pollenization in the case of the chili plants. But it s also the bumble-bee that can mess everything up. With its dirty pants from another chili blossom it may eventually contribute to the modification of the genetic outfit of your next chili plant. Here is Fritz' story, a story of disappointment, but a very good example about how genetic mutations and modifications take place around us every day without human interference.

Especially, times of great uncertainty and panic give way to thousands of confusing mirror images that make it impossible to find our feet. How to choose among all the information, messages, words, texts, images, experts, politicians around us? Whom and what should we select that could contribute to our own decision-making process. In the case of swine flu: it is our decision, our risk, our life! ;-) got it? Sometimes it is difficult for ourselves to have full awareness of our own standpoint and even more sophisticated it becomes to recognize the starting point of others from which they may eventually take off perceiving and assessing the world, building up their arguments. Swine flu is a good example for the wild mess of views that makes orientation so hard, bushwhacking is more the word to use for the process of gaining more information or knowledge than elucidation.

Yesterday before I decided to upload this video, I knew that it would cause controversial reactions and eventually antagonize people. I made the decision to publish this video anyhow, because it shows the problem we currently face with the swine flu in a very charming way. In times where you hear voices that even want to forbid a friendly handshake or the grabbing hold of the handle in a bus the most different perspectives through which we see the world are disclosed, and may eventually roughly collide. Since years the notion that hygiene is the solution for the increasing number of virus infections or allergies is under scientific scrutiny. The huge amount of data indicates that hygiene is very likely leading us up the garden path.
