Press Release Body = Petersburg, VA - What you don't know can kill you.

That's why the best way to survive a biological attack or influenza pandemic is to
question medical and governmental authorities and learn for yourself about the best
defenses available.

That's the message preached by James P. Hilton, former Eagle Scout, paramedic,
teacher of emergency medicine, and author of the compelling, eye-opening, book
Question Authority: How to Improve Your Odds of Surviving an Infectious Disease
Epidemic, a Biological Attack, or Radiation Exposure (Independence House Press,
2005, ISBN 1-59971-060-9, 215 pages, $24.95, www.questionauthority911.com

Hilton warns that profit-driven drug companies have handcuffed physicians so tightly
that they have become agents of the pharmaceutical/defense alliance rather than
agents of healing.

A champion of liberty and a champion of uncommon knowledge, Hilton is so alarmed
that he has taken to the streets and to the printing press to warn Americans that
government and medical authorities are threatening their liberty and health.

Three major truths the author wants average Americans to understand are:

. Questioning authority is a patriotic thing to do.
. Host resistance always has been and always will be the key to increasing your odds
of surviving. There are no super viruses, only susceptible hosts.
. Absence of evidence is not an evidence of absence; i.e., those authorities who say
there are no studies to prove Vitamin C, for example, helps fight infection are the
same people who refuse to fund such studies.

The American Indians knew that Vitamin C cured scurvy but from day one the medical
establishments have downplayed C and other vitamins, minerals, herbs and other
low-cost, non-patentable cures in order to push profitable drugs, vaccines, X-rays
and other costly yet harmful measures.

"What I hope to achieve, is to persuade, if necessary, one individual at a time to
rethink their blind trust in the high priests and rulers of our times, namely the
medical doctors, and the government," says Hilton, now living in Petersburg, VA. "So
it looks like I'll be unrepentantly staying the course by making as big a nuisance
of myself as I possible can. What a fun, yet important, job! I will carefully watch
them, embarrass and expose them, protest and ridicule them, and gleefully rip them
to shreds" in his writings such as Question Authority.

Examples cited by Hilton of government and medical authorities duping the American
public are compulsory vaccinations, X-rays, fluoridation, the causes of AIDS and
cancer, and the mythical right to choose.

In hard-hitting fashion, Hilton writes that an honest look at history reveals that
it was plumbers, not doctors, who wiped out the tuberculosis, typhoid, and
diphtheria epidemics. Noting that cleaning up water supplies was more important
than vaccines, Hilton writes: "In all sincerity a case for the plumbers of the early
1900s having made as great an impact on the decline of mortality as medical doctors
is not as far fetched as it may initially sound."

While critics have tried to dismiss Hilton as a rabble-rouser, the author has taught
emergency medicine since his early 20s, was a licensed paramedic for 24 years, and
has been an effective agent for change. When the FDA attempted to require
prescriptions for vitamins, Hilton in protest walked from Miami, FL, to New York
City. Hilton, and hundreds of others across America, worked together to get a bill
enacted by Congress to halt the FDA's scheme.

Hilton has appeared on television shows throughout America and Australia, including
the Today Show, because of attention gained by Question Authority and his earlier
top-selling book, Burden of Proof which the Australian Medical Association tried to
ban because Hilton presented documentation that cancer and AIDS could be cured.

"The primary purpose of both books is to encourage Americans to question authorities
in government and the medical establishments," says Hilton. "These authorities have
a dismal track record of not giving us the honest information we need to survive a
biological attack or epidemic. We need to question what they are doing because our
liberties are at risk. There are a lot of things the average person can do to
survive a biological attack that we are not being told about because the vested
interests cannot make profits if we start helping ourselves."

Every five years modern medicine directly contributes to at least one million
deaths, stressed Hilton. Hilton quotes the American Academy of Sciences as stating
that about 50,000 people die each year due to inadequate trauma care, another 50,000
die needlessly each year because of improper cardiovascular care, and at least
100,000 needless deaths occur annually because of hospital-acquired infections, drug
side effects and doctor errors.

"Considering this colossal record of failure does it not seem reasonable to
question authority?" the author asks. "And that may very well be what saves your
life."
