Say not "silver" for the flu of pig
Lest the Phama gods be angry.
Say not "echinaca sprig"
Says Sibelius. Sang she,

"Tamiflu and vaccines only
May you tout as cure for flu.
Nature's cures, let them be lonely,
Nothing plant-ish may you do."

"Worst of all, far worse than C
Colloid silver, or, worse, nano.
Squalene's safe as safe can be:
Get sick and die. See? That's the plan-O!"

Speaking with a silver tongue
Into major trouble gets you.
Staying healthy, staying young,
Means FDA will surely fret you.

Some fear immune cell health
Storms of cytokines will bring you.
"Back off silver, save yourself
Lest Death's keen dart surely sting you."

"Pish", I say, and "Tush" as well
Review the research deep with care.
Silver does not increase cell
Mediated immune share.

So storms of cytokines, while real,
Are not involved. We need not fear
That silver will cease to appeal
As swine flu slayer without peer.

My advice to you, for feeling dandy,
Facing Flying Pig or other trouble
Is "Keep the nano silver handy
If you need it, just take double!"
