At a time when access to bird flu antiviral medicines is being denied by legislation and short supply, a new entrant emerges claiming potential to reduce the impact of avian flu. The difference is that this possible cure is readily available and at a low cost for all.Leuconostoc Kimchii or Kimchi lactic acid bacteria have been tested on bird flu infected chickens claiming recovery from the virus according to one source.
The Kimchi, a Korean fermented cabbage meal similar to the pickled cabbage Sauerkraut dish is claimed to have aided recovery of 11 out of 13 chickens in tests during November 2005.
Though the scientific merits of curing avian bird flu with cabbage have certainly not been proven, nor are we likely to see millions spent on development given the potential lack of return for drug companies - it is probably a simple measure to gain essential vitamins to protect against viral infection.

Great blog you got here about Avian Flue. please feel free to pass by blog and post some comment there. thanks!
It is unfortunate that more governmental effort is not being directed at identifying treatments for bird flu that are accessible to those who are unable to locate a prescription for tamiflu.

What you have to realise is that flu in birds is a gastrointestinal disease, so the infected tissue is directly exposed to the chemicals in kimchi. Not so in humans, where flu is a respiratory disease
