How to prevent Swine Flu (A little humor)


Swine Flu, the H1N1 virus, is extremely serious. But, I came across this picture and thought I would share it with you. Even if it gives you a smile it's worth it...

U.S. has more than 2,500 H1N1 flu cases

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States has 2,532 confirmed cases of the new H1N1 swine influenza in 44 states, and three deaths, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Sunday.

On Saturday, the CDC reported 2,254 confirmed cases, with 104 people in the hospital.

Washington state health officials said on Saturday a man in his 30s with underlying heart conditions succumbed to the virus last week. It was the first death in the state.

Although most cases appear to be mild, just as in seasonal flu the swine flu strain has killed, with 48 confirmed deaths in Mexico, three in the United States, one in Canada and one in Costa Rica.

It has moved into the southern hemisphere, where influenza season is just beginning, and could mix with circulating seasonal flu viruses or the H5N1 avian influenza virus to create new strains, health officials said.

Mexico's Swine Flu Outbreak Spreads To United States

Keys to a Healthy Immune System

Your best options are a healthy immune system and here are a few things you can do to have one:

* Avoid Sugar and Processed Foods. Sugar decreases the function of your immune system almost immediately, and as you likely know, a strong immune system is key to fighting off viruses and other illness. Be aware that sugar is present in foods you may not suspect, like ketchup and fruit juice.

* Get Enough Rest. Just like it becomes harder for you to get your daily tasks done if you're tired, if your body is overly fatigued it will be harder for it to fight the flu. Be sure to check out my article Guide to a Good Night's Sleep for some great tips to help you get quality rest. [Immunotec's Montmorency Cherry Concentrate helps you get the most restful sleep possible.]

* Have Effective Tools to Address Stress. We all face some stress every day, but if stress becomes overwhelming then your body will be less able to fight off the flu and other illness. [Immunotec's PNT200 is an excellent stress management tool as it inhibits the excessive release of cortisol (the stress hormone) and behaves like benzodiazepine and produces a calming effect on the GABA receptors in the brain, with no side effects.]

* Exercise. When you exercise, you increase your circulation and your blood flow throughout your body. The components of your immune system are also better circulated, which means your immune system has a better chance of finding an illness before it spreads. Just 30 minutes every other day helps if that's all you can do!

* Take a good source of animal based omega-3 fats like [Immunotec's Omega3 with Turmeric]. Increase your intake of healthy and essential fats like the omega-3, which is crucial for maintaining health. It is also vitally important to avoid damaged omega-6 oils that are trans fats and in processed foods as it will seriously damage your immune response.

* Wash Your Hands. Washing your hands will decrease your likelihood of spreading a virus to your nose, mouth or other people. Be sure you don't use antibacterial soap for this -- antibacterial soaps are completely unnecessary, and they cause far more harm than good. Instead, identify a simple chemical-free soap that you can switch your family to. [WowGreen at www.wowgreen.net has excellent toxic free household products. (Tell them my friend #36766 sent you.)]

* Raise Your Glutathione Levels. Glutathione is made naturally in every cell inside your body. Eating glutathione is a waste, however, eating the precursors or building blocks for glutathione is not. Immunocal has the most critical glutathione precursor in it, the one that's all but missing from our diet. Taking just 10 grams of Immunocal per day will support a healthy immune system. Add 10 grams if you have a chronic condition and another 10 grams if you have a life or death condition.

* Avoid Hospitals and Vaccines. In this particular case, I'd also recommend you stay away from hospitals unless you're having an emergency, as hospitals are prime breeding grounds for infections of all kinds, and could be one of the likeliest places you could be exposed to this new bug. Vaccines will not be available for six months at the minimum but when available they will be ineffective and can lead to crippling paralysis like Guillain-Barré Syndrome just as it did in the 70s.

Taking Tamilflu? Read about the Dangers...

Note these facts about Tamilflu as written by Dr. Mercola:

Tamiflu Loaded With Side Effects, Including Death and Can Only Reduce Symptoms by 36 Hours at BEST

Please realize that Tamiflu is NOT a safe drug Serious side effects include convulsions, delirium or delusions, and 14 deaths in children and teens as a result of neuropsychiatric problems and brain infections Japan actually banned Tamiflu for children in 2007.

Remember, Tamiflu went through some rough times not too long ago, as the dangers of this drug came to light when, in 2007, the FDA finally began investigating some 1,800 adverse event reports related to the drug.

Additionally common side effects of Tamiflu include:
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Headache
  • Dizziness
  • Fatigue
  • Cough
All in all, the very symptoms you're trying to avoid.

Additionally, Tamiflu has been reported to be ineffective against seasonal flu outbreaks, and may not be sufficient to combat an epidemic or pandemic.

But making matters worse, some patients with influenza are at HIGHER risk for secondary bacterial infections when on Tamiflu. And secondary bacterial infections, as I mentioned earlier, was likely the REAL cause of the mass fatalities during the 1918 pandemic!

But here’s the real kicker.

When Tamiflu is used as directed (twice daily for 5 days) it can ONLY reduce the duration of your influenza symptoms by 1 to 1 ½ days, according to the official data.

Why on earth would anyone want to take a drug that has a chance of killing you, was banned in Japan, is loaded with side effects that mimic the flu itself, costs over $100, and AT BEST can only provide 36 hours of SYMPTOM relief. Just doesn't make any sense.

Swine Flu Update: Florida Governor declares Public Health Emergency

Florida now has two CDC laboratory confirmed cases of Swine Flu in Florida.
  • Lee County: 11-year-old male who attends Spring Creek Elementary School.
  • Broward County:  17-year-old female who attends Hallandale High School.
Decisions regarding school closures will be made by local superintendents.

The symptoms of swine flu in people are similar to the symptoms of regular human flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people have reported diarrhea and vomiting associated with swine flu. Like seasonal flu, swine flu may cause a worsening of underlying chronic medical conditions.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has reported 109 confirmed cases of novel influenza in the United States, with one death in a twenty-three month old.

The World Health Organization (WHO) alert level remains at Phase 5.  The declaration of a Phase 5 is a strong signal that the pandemic is imminent and that the time to finalize the organization, communication, and implementation of the planned mitigation measures is short.
