The first outbreaks of swine flu are upon us. However, it is to soon to tell how powerful it will really be or how dangerous. Many governments and experts are warning us of a coming pandemic. These warnings have been given in recent history and nothing ever happened. Example the avian flu of the last three years. It can of course spread throughout the world easily, and may do so or not. On the plus side, people who prepare their immune systems will probably get through it without problems.
This virus is a very unusual one and has a combination of four different gene segments. This virus is termed A-H1N1. The combination is from North American swine, bird and human flu strains and a segment from Eurasian swine. Because of this it is very worrisome to health organizations because it is a descendant of the 1917 pandemic strain. Many organizations and governments are saying that it could approach the Spanish flu pandemic of 1917-1918.
Our government and others are now trying to do something, anything to stem the spread of the virus. You may see such actions as closed airports, restricted travel, and the shutting down of public events. This has already started in Texas where high school events are being canceled. Knowing our government you have not seen anything yet. You might even see forced vaccination.
It will be almost impossible to contain a human-to-human transmission of this airborne pathogen. One airline passenger could spread the virus around the world in a day, or two and no one would know it. Doctor Rowan states "trying to contain an easily spread virus is nuts. Instead, you must take action now - the right action.
What is the right action you ask? It is not panic action but positive action, to get the correct information of what can help your body protect itself from the swine flu. One positive action is to do everything you can to strengthen your immune system. You should not wait until the people around you are showing symptoms or are already sick. Start now. Below are ideas and suggestions complied from a number of MD's who specialize in alternative and nutritional medicine. All of these ingredients are available from retail stores, the internet or from me.
It is advisable to eat as well as you can. Increase your intake of fruits and vegetables especially those high in antioxidants. Take whole food supplements high in antioxidants. Find a good herbal immune formula like Immunex which is the one I take. Dr Frank Shallenberger recommends taking as a preventative a product called Epicor. My research shows this to be very effective. Take a Probiotic now if you do not already. Dr Mercola recommends to optimize your vitamin D levels. He further states "vitamin D deficiency is likely the TRUE culprit behind the seasonality of the flu -- not the flu virus itself." Do everything you can to strengthen your immune system.
Before people start getting sick increase your present doses or start taking the nutrients listed below. Get a jump start on building your immunity. None of these nutrients have side effects other than diarrhea with high levels of vitamin C. (Note Liposomal vitamin C has little or no bowel problems in high doses and it has 10 times the absorption rate) These nutrients will help your immune system and over all health. If the flu doesn't materialize you just bought some real cheap health insurance and a stronger immune system. The following nutrient formula was devised by Robert J. Rowan MD.
Take the following if people around you are sick.
- Vitamin D-3 50,000 IU for one week, then 2-3 times weekly for four weeks.
- Vitamin C- 1000mg three times daily( If loose bowels occur reduce dose). Many people including me take this much now. I am going to switch to Liposomal vitamin C for increased absorption and cell penetration.
- Zinc Citrate-50 mg(If you take for more than three weeks take 2 mg copper.)
- Iodide/Iodine (Iodoral) 12.5 mg
- Selenium 200 mg
- Russian Choice Immune (See my web site)
- Colloidal Silver (Ionic is best)
- Probiotics
- Herbal Immune Formula (I am taking Immunex) You might also look at Carnivora (search google or yahoo)
If you develop symptoms add these immediately.
- Vitamin A( not beta carotene) 100,000 units daily for up to one month.
- Sambucol (This is black elderberry) Dr Weil agrees with this.
- Vitamin C Up to one gram every hour (Take liposomal C to avoid bowel problems with this dosage level and increase absorption)
- Miracle Mineral Supplement (28% Sodium Chlorite Solution)
Do not wait for the flu to hit your area. Build your immunity now. Be ready, if it never gets to you or your community all of the products will have strengthen your immune system and that is a good thing. The body can protect and heal itself of this or any virus given the proper tools.
One last thought if the bug does reach your area do not rush to take a vaccine they can be very dangerous and have proved to be ineffective. A new vaccine would not be ready for six months or so in any event. Again Dr Mercola said "but when available they will be ineffective and can lead to crippling paralysis like Guillain-Barré Syndrome just as it did in the 70s."
