Some info for anyone interested in remedies in cases of SARS. From discussions i have had today with a highly reputed homeopath, I learned that some remedy possibilities include eup-per and viscum album. Please do consider these remedies along with getting specific symptoms from patients(always taking the case of course).

Hopefully it is not an epidemic, however it does seem to be highly contagious...whole hospital units of 500 people have become infected in epidemic patterns in Hong Kong, it is certainly not like this in Toronto - we became aware of it early and are isolating all cases immediately but we just don't know enough about the nature of this disease as of yet except that it appears to be highly contagious...i think in these cases it is better to be safe than to be sorry, esp with a disease supposedly transmitted by respiratory droplet.

One of the head doctors of the World Health Organization, a healthy man in his prime died of SARS just two days ago, after working in SARS research. I do hope it does not become epidemic in nature however I think in affected areas, we would be best advised to be prepared for anything in the chance it should not be well isolated.
It never hurts to have some remedy ideas in mind just in case, plus it is a good learning experience for everyone.

Simone - thank you so much for your post - it is extremely helpful, if anyone else has heard of similar SARS information i would very much appreciate your input
Best wishes,
