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.

# The patients will find it much easier to drink fluids from a baby bottle, squeeze bottle, or using a straw during their illness.
# Use a teakettle for making tea and as a device for making steam for treatment of sinus and bronchial disorders.
# Petroleum jelly will be useful for chapped lips, noses, and bottoms.
# Use cocoa butter to make rectal or vaginal suppositories. It is also an outstanding lip balm and great treatment for chapped or irritated skin of the nose or perianal area.
# Thermometers break so have more than one on hand

# During the 1918 pandemic a particularly aggressive presentation of influenza that was most commonly seen in young adults was associated with cyanosis and is described in this excerpt from a physician's letter to a colleague. "After a few hours later you can begin to see the Cyanosis extending from their ears and spreading all over the face, until it is hard to distinguish the colored men from the white. It is only a matter of a few hours then until death comes."
# For the purposes of this book, ibuprofen means aspirin, Advil, Aleve, ibuprofen, or Nuprin since they are all alike. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) is not an aspirin.
# Dextromethorphan HBr is an antitussive (cough suppressant) that inhibits the cough reflex. It acts primarily by depressing the cough center in the brain to reduce the frequency of the intensity of cough. Prolonged use or high doses can cause confusion or hallucinations. DM is not a very strong cough suppressant.
