I’m not sure if everything written is true. But a lot of the herbs are beneficial as said. Chickens are known to do self medication if offered herbs as free choice (free ranging).

I’m not sure what that has to do with viruses but yeah, herbs are beneficial for a a number of things if used appropriately.
There are two things to keep in mind though.

#1 herbal substances are powerful and can have many benefits but many more negatives, there’s nothing inherently safe about natural medicine. Proper research and dosing with natural substances can mean the difference between life and death just like with pharmaceuticals. The difference of why herbal medicine is more dangerous than pharmaceuticals is plants don’t grow warning labels, interactions information, or dosing information, or warn us that potency can differ between individual plants of a single species because of time of year or genetics, neither do plants tell you if they’ve absorbed forever chemicals or lead because they were grown in polluted soil like ginger and turmeric often are.

#2 is don’t trust ai. Ai doesn’t fact check, it data mines across the internet and doesn’t differentiate between factual information and bs, but does scramble it together as one and deliver it as seemingly trustworthy information.
The information there in your pic isn’t necessarily incorrect, but that’s only this time around.

A good rule of thumb is to always research sources and the proper handling and usage of herbal substances.

I stopped using "herbal substances" a long time ago.

FYI... I have been using most of those herbs for the last 20 plus years. (pre ai).

I use homemade oil of oregano when I start feeling sick. Also make my own fire cider for colds. Have some teas I drink when congested. Haven’t taken an allergy med or flu med in 2 years (because I haven’t needed it after taking what I make). There is a time & place for pharmaceuticals but I try and curb anything before it gets to that. One thing that really bothers me is the dyes in medicine. Totally not necessary. They do make kids Tylenol without dyes…but haven’t seen an adult DayQuil/nyquil without. I also make homemade electrolyte drinks when we get sick. Water, sea salt, honey, lemon juice.

I can’t stand that they put dyes in it either, that and food. Cheddar doesn’t need to be radioactive orange.

This is ostrich farm in BC Canada. They got AI in December. Have been fighting and just had a federal court denial for exemption of culling.
So much for natural immunity being utilized. The hundreds of ostriches left are healthy and the government still is going to cull.

This really p***es me off. All the ignorants HAVE a solution right in front of their faces, but can't think outside the box.

YES!!! I am pushing the green tea thing again.

The CFIA is holding it against the farm that they haven’t provided any legitimate evidence that the birds are involved in research but that very hard to do considering the CFIA will not even allow them to their own testing.
There are numerous aspects that warrant further research, like to see if the birds are still carrying and shedding the live virus, testing for antibodies, if the birds no longer have antibodies “which would free them of the threat of euthanasia but which actually has far worse consequences, and if they’re free of antibodies investigating why, as in if it’s something to do with the nature of the virus “immune amnesia” or specifically with the ostrich immune system.

The CFIA essentially wont allow them to research the ostriches but is blaming the farm for it while refusing to test themselves.

On the other hand if the CFIA actually went forward with testing and research themselves the ostriches basically become research subjects of Canada and the farm has no say in what becomes of the ostriches either.
