Mounting evidence is pointing to a US-owned industrial pig farm as a likely source of the swine flu virus. The farm is one of many factory farms that set up shop in Mexico after NAFTA rearranged the laws to make such moves more profitable. Many experts have been warning for years about the potential for a swine flu pandemic to arise out of the conditions present in industrial pig farms.</font></p><p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 8.0px 0.0px;

The 43-year-old has been diagnosed as schizophrenic, and doctors have prescribed antipsychotic medication for him.
