Bird flu

With all the panic flying around on the subject of bird flu, several readers have asked where to get down to-earth information and advice. Sascha Hewitt's online store and resource center Natural Healing Center has a well-grounded article with a link to its home page on the subject: naturalhealingcenter.com/

Sascha says: "Almost all the info comes from the WHO and Australian government. I've no idea what kind of stocks of vaccine and medicine Japan has on hand. Somebody told me they are doing a good job but if that is the case why is Dr Shane (as quoted in the article) running low?"

X in Canada wants to know if his marriage there to Japanese boyfriend Y is legal in Japan. "As you probably know, Canada became the fourth country in the world to legalize gay marriages third year, along with the Netherlands, Belgium and Spain. If we decide to move to Japan, how will this affect us?"
