In his book "The Great Bird Flu Hoax", Mercola claims the warnings about H1N1 flu were just false alarms and that swine flu was quite harmless. He contends it can be avoided by some simple measures, like optimizing vitamin D levels, avoiding sugar and processed food, use of krill oil, use of all-natural antibiotics like olive leaf extract and oil of oregano.<ref>[http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/07/16/Major-Expose-on-Swine-Flu-by-60-Minutes.aspx Major Expose on Swine Flu by 60 Minutes ], mercola.com, July 16 2009</ref> Mercola happens to sell all these products through his website. Swine flu, however, is not harmless; the World Health Organization confirmed more than 18,000 casualties caused by H1N1 until August 2010.<ref>[http://www.who.int/csr/don/2010_08_06/en/index.html Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 - update 112]</ref>
