A pandemic spread though European countries during the middle ages known as the Black Plague.  This pandemic was far worse than any pandemic that we have seen in this era and it took the lives of about 1/3 of the European population (approximately 25 million people).  But what I would like to make light of is not the fact that 1/3 of the population died, but to the fact that the other 2/3 of the population survived.  More often than not, those who survived lived underneath the same households as the victim, shared the same meals across the same family table.  I ask you, why didn’t they “catch” the disease? Why did they live? Maybe, they were just lucky?

If that was indeed the case, as chiropractic developer B.J. Palmer stated, “…there wouldn’t be anybody around to tell you about it!”  If our bodies can be kept whole and healthy, then the germs, which we come into contact with everyday, would have no consequence.

So I ask you, what would you think if the foundation on which the entire medical model stands is flawed?  What if the notion of the “germ theory” is not as black and white as we were once lead to believe?  When this theory was first proposed by famed scientist Louis Pasteur, it was highly controversial yet now it lies to be the cornerstone of modern medicine.  Funny, is the fact that the germ theory is not Pasteur’s last thoughts in regards to the idea of sickness and disease.

Through out the life of Pasteur there was on going debate about this theory between himself and one of his comtemporaries, Claude Bernard.  Bernard’s made claim that it is not the seed (the germ) that was the cause for disease but instead it was the soil (the human body).  Bernard believed that germs are nothing more than opportunistic organism, and if given a compromised environment they will thrive.  This ongoing debate persisted up until Pasteur’s deathbed, and at that time Pasteur finally conceded and admitted that Bernard was indeed right.  In the end, Pasteur came to realize that the germ was not the only element in determining who became sick and who remained well, that indeed the soil is everything and the seed is nothing!

There are many things that can contribute towards sickness and health.  Don’t allow yourself to simply accept the idea that sickness is inevitable–especially now, during the alleged cold and flu season–just because you are around sick people.  With chiropractic care, our goals is to have your body functioning at such a level that you don’t get sick very often–and when you do, your immune system, is stronger because of a more efficient body-brain communication – the nervous system, which allows your body to be able to fight off disease more readily, therefore letting your body recover more effectively and efficiently.

Flu and common cold can attack persons of any age group. Allopathic treatment of flu and cold involves use of drugs, often with strong dosage which could harm young children ad even teens. People older than 50 also find it difficult to manage the side effects produced by allopathic drugs since they generally lead to lethargy and drowsiness. Safer options of treatment such as naturopathy are now gaining popularity for the treatment of cold and flu.

Naturopathy trusts the healing power of nature. Naturopathy believes that the body can heal itself and rid itself of any diseases when supported by certain dietary and lifestyle changes. Naturopathy identifies the root cause of the disease and treats it instead of merely treating the symptoms of a particular disease. Since naturopathy treatment is a natural way of dealing with the disease, there are no side effects involved in the treatment. Also, naturopathy helps in prevention of the disease in future.

Naturopathy is effective in the treatment of flu and cold. The healing plan is personalized for the patient and all the complex factors affecting the patient’ health is treated. Naturopathy thus results in the holistic healing of the body. Instead of draining away energy like allopathic drugs do, naturopathic treatment helps the patient acquire energy. This hastens the recovery process and also prevents the influenza virus from further affecting the patient.

The ultimate goal of naturopathy is building health and not fighting illness. Naturopathy treatment is thus a safe and effective treatment technique for ailments which can excuse surgical intervention. Naturopathy teaches the body to fight and keeps the person away from further disease attacks.

The big question right now is how to protect ourselves from this dreaded viral strain. For me, we just need to boost our immune system in order not to be infected.

The next question is how are we going to boost our immune system the natural way? We need to take vitamins and Natural antimicrobial agent food supplements. Visit http://tinyurl.com/allimax

Below is an email about What you need to know about swine flu

By LAURAN NEERGAARD, AP Medical Writer – Mon Apr 27, 1:41 PM PDT

WASHINGTON
- A never-before-seen strain of swine flu has turned killer in Mexico and is causing milder illness in the United States and elsewhere. While authorities say it’s not time to panic, they are taking steps to stem the spread and also urging people to pay close attention to the latest health warnings and take their own precautions.

"Individuals have a key role to play," Dr. Richard Besser, acting chief of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Monday.

Here’s what you need to know:

Q: How do I protect myself and my family?

A: For now, take commonsense precautions. Cover your coughs and sneezes, with a tissue that you throw away or by sneezing into your elbow rather than your hand. Wash hands frequently; if soap and water aren’t available, hand gels can substitute. Stay home if you’re sick and keep children home from school if they are.

Q: How easy is it to catch this virus?

A: Scientists don’t yet know if it takes fairly close or prolonged contact with someone who’s sick, or if it’s more easily spread. But in general, flu viruses spread through uncovered coughs and sneezes or — and this is important — by touching your mouth or nose with unwashed hands. Flu viruses can live on surfaces for several hours, like a doorknob just touched by someone who sneezed into his hand.

Q: In Mexico , officials are handing out face masks. Do I need one?

A: The CDC says there’s not good evidence that masks really help outside of health care settings. It’s safer just to avoid close contact with someone who’s sick and avoid crowded gatherings in places where swine flu is known to be spreading. But if you can’t do that, CDC guidelines say it’s OK to consider a mask — just don’t let it substitute for good precautions.

Q: Is swine flu treatable?

A: Yes, with the flu drugs Tamiflu or Relenza, but not with two older flu medications.

Q: Is there enough?

A: Yes. The federal government has stockpiled enough of the drugs to treat 50 million people, and many states have additional stocks. As a precaution, the CDC has shipped a quarter of that supply to the states to keep on hand just in case the virus starts spreading more than it has so far.

Q: Should I take Tamiflu as a precaution if I’m not sick yet?

A: No. "What are you going to do with it, use it when you get a sniffle?" asks Dr. Marc Siegel of New York University Langone Medical Center and author of "Bird Flu: Everything you Need To Know About The Next Pandemic." Overusing antiviral drugs can help germs become resistant to them.

Q: How big is my risk?

A: For most people, very low. Outside of Mexico , so far clusters of illnesses seem related to Mexican travel. New York City ‘s cluster, for instance, consists of students and family members at one school where some students came back ill from spring break in Mexico .

Q: Why are people dying in Mexico and not here?

A: That’s a mystery. First, understand that no one really knows just how many people in Mexico are dying of this flu strain, or how many have it. Only a fraction of the suspected deaths have been tested and confirmed as swine flu, and some initially suspected cases were caused by something else.

Q: Should I cancel my planned trip to Mexico ?

A: The U.S. did issue a travel advisory Monday discouraging nonessential travel there.

Q: What else is the U.S. , or anyone else, doing to try to stop this virus?

A: The U.S. is beginning limited screening of travelers from Mexico , so that the obviously sick can be sent for treatment. Other governments have issued their own travel warnings and restrictions. Mexico is taking the biggest steps, closings that limit most crowded gatherings. In the U.S. , communities with clusters of illness also may limit contact — New York closed the affected school for a few days, for example — so stay tuned to hear if your area

Cooked pork can not possibly be ever contaminated

• 1st off, pork is safe. Yes, I acknowledge it is called cure swine flu but it is nothing comparable to mad cow disease (BSE). That is how come there is a flu at the end rather than disease, of course. The disease spreads thru the same way normal influenza spreads: contact with a infected area or person then contact with either the eyes, nose, or mouth of the prospective contaminated. Cooked pork can not possibly be ever contaminated because cooking and preparation make sure that the meat is clean and fit for consumption. So, yea, no need to worry about the ham and bacon in the supermarket.

The Center for Disease Control has highly advocated their use for the treatment and control of the disease

• 2nd, there is a treatment. Zanamivir and oseltamivir are neuroaminidase inhibitors which is a fancy description of what they do; theyíre a type of antiviral drugs that inhibits cell replication of viruses so that they will not spread in the patient’s body. The Center for Disease Control has highly advocated their use for the treatment and control of the disease. In reality, if you find yourself sick, you can do initial treatment thru the normal nonprescription antibiotics that you use when dealing with the normal flu. This can help make the symptoms more endurable and help your body resist the disease better. Those and quite a bit of bedrest can go a long way to make you feel best.

Even at the peak of the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic, with its more than 50 million worldwide decease count

• 3rd, it is not gonna obliterate us all. Even at the peak of the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic, with its more than 50 million worldwide decease count, the human race wasn’t exactly in peril. Plagues and diseases have been a part of human civilisation and history for a long time. Humans have a way of enduring and infections in time burn out, one of the disadvantages of killing your hosts too rapidly. The bodycount might pile high but no natural disease can annihilate the human species that well. Also, like I mentioned earlier, it’s treatable and you are able to recover from it.

A disease can easily be warded off

• 4th, it’s not that contractable. OK, yes, it’s transmittable, but like all diseases it has its specific infection transmitters and if you know those transmitters, a disease can easily be warded off. In this case, swine influenza it may be, but it is still the flu. This means it spreads through the contact points I said earlier. Regularly washing your hands prior to eating is a step in the right direction and, also, not hanging around sick folks, though that one should be pretty obvious.

The description maybe a little vague and the name exotic, but it is still the flu in the first place

• 5th, it is still the influenza. The description maybe a little vague and the name exotic, but it is still the flu in the first place. You will know you are from it the same way you know you are sick from the flu: colds, coughs, chills, and fatigue. That is the initial stuff though. If you were bright, you would have taken your antibiotics and decreased the effects. If you are OK after a couple of days, that was just the normal influenza. All the same, if the symptoms prevail, and you start to vomit or start to suffer from diarrhoea, then it’s swine influenza and you better call for a doctor. Cure Swine Flu

Well, that is all then. Hopefully, these pieces of information help clear up a few things about the swine influenza and help you to undestand the currect situation the world is in.

Cure Swine Flu with Vitamin D

Question from Anne: I’ve heard vitamin D is good for immunity, would I be better to get more Vitamin D than take the swine flu vaccine?

Answer: Well Anne if you’ve read  this website for any given time, you’d know we thinK jamming your hand in the car door is better than the swine flu vaccine (please don’t do this at home kids)

Now I’m no doctor so do not construe this as medical advice, but I would NEVER allow something as unnatural as the swine vaccine into my body, my choice and ultimately your choice BUT please research before you make up your mind. Being LAZY is your fault NOT the doctors/pushers as he/she is just doing his/her job.

HOWEVER!

Taking Vitamin D (vitamin D3) I would seriously recommend.

Vitamin D3 , wrongly named a vitamin as it’s actually a hormone, is a power house for immunity and better health, let me break it down for you.

• Vitamin D is natural and actually boosts your bodies ability to fight any virus (yes even the humble piggy flu!) to essentially cure swine flu
• Vitamin D is found in many foods such as salmon, cod liver oil, sardines, milk and even cheese
• Human breast milk contains high amounts of Vitamins D as it is essential for babies early development
• Vitamin D doesn’t contain nasty mercury or other chemicals and doesn’t even hurt your arm like the Swine Flu Vaccine can!
• Vitamin D has been a part of human health since the dawn of time. It is natures way!
• Best of all… Vitamin D can be FREE just by getting sunlight!
• Vitamin D is made by your body from Cholesterol and Sunlight! Could your higher Cholesterol levels be a lack of Vitamin D? Well no doctor will tell you that as they want to push Statin drugs on you but this isn’t the place for Cholesterol discussion….sign up for the newsletter for more info on that.

Now the wrap it up…If you want to get your Vitamin D levels up to boost your immune system your going to need a good high strength supplement (or plenty of sun)

iHerb.com is great online store, I live in Australia and I use these guys regularly, here is some great value Vitamin D products they have to offer.

Mass Media at it again! Cure Swine Flu Information

Here’s the headline from AP (Associated Press)

“Sebelius: Americans must get swine flu vaccination” the article can be found here

This articles main headline tell us that Americans MUST get the flu vaccine or does it? If you read the article you’ll see it’s actually not mentioned at all that Americans MUST get the swine flu vaccine.

BUT and this is a big but who reads the whole article? Do you? Or do you just see the headline and talk to your co-workers about it?

Let me really be to the point here and go on the record saying this…

The Swine Flu Vaccine will NEVER be mandatory!

Simple as that, although the mass media is/will-be very persuasive and governments will suggest that you and family receive the vaccine for your safety, the actual vaccine will NEVER be compulsory.

Instead it will be your neighbors, friends and even family that will attempt to ENFORCE the vaccination program through peer group pressure. Governments worked out years ago that forcing people into doing things only leads to revolution SO instead a more covert tactic is used these days especially through the media.

This article is classic example of a covert tactic knowing that most people just read the headline and make assumptions from there then the people basically enforce each other.
