What's Your Best Defense Against Swine Flu?
Tamiflu? Swine flu vaccine? A mask?
If only it were that easy ...
Unfortunately, popping a pill or rolling up your sleeve isn't the key. In this case, you are your own best bet for preventing yourself -- and others -- from getting swine flu.
While government health officials are preparing for the rise in swine flu cases that's likely to come, their most effective strategy -- the swine flu vaccine -- won't help much until late November.
We can't wait until then because swine flu cases are already on the rise with school starting and the cooler weather on the way.
So how far away do you need to stay away from sick people? Do you need a face mask? What should you do if you suspect you or something else has swine flu?
Here's your two-step plan.
The first part of the plan is to avoid infection:
So, tell the truth. Are you doing anything different to help prevent spread of swine flu or do you think it's a bunch of hogwash?

So how far away do you need to stay away from sick people? Do you need a face mask? What should you do if you suspect you or something else has swine flu?
Here's your two-step plan.
The first part of the plan is to avoid infection:
- Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly. Use soap and warm water when available; use hand sanitizer between hand washings.
- Avoid close contact with sick people. Close contact means getting within 6 feet of a sick person. If you must care for someone who is ill, minimize close contact.
- It's not known whether face masks protect against infection. If you use one, don't slack off on hand washing or avoiding close contact with sick people. Use the face mask properly and throw it away after use.
- Get your seasonal flu vaccine as soon as possible. It's safe, and it protects against the three seasonal flu bugs expected to circulate this fall and winter -- even though it won't protect against H1N1 swine flu.
The second part of the plan is to keep from spreading the swine flu virus:
- Stay home if you are sick.
- Observe flu etiquette. Don't cough or sneeze into your hands. Cough/sneeze into a tissue -- or, failing that, your elbow.
- If you can do so comfortably, wear a face mask if you come into contact with others.
- If you are an employer, do not penalize workers for staying home if sick or for caring for sick children.
- Make plans -- now -- for what you'd do if you or your children get sick this fall.
So, tell the truth. Are you doing anything different to help prevent spread of swine flu or do you think it's a bunch of hogwash?

It seems like such a simple thing to do. Wash your hands. Use SOAP!! Stay home if you're sick. Hopefully we can stop H1N1 in it's tracks.
Definietly take a good probiotic!!! The best offense is a good defense....be sure to choose wisely!! Confirm active cultures THROUGH PRINTED EXPIRATION DATE !!( as opposed to "at time of manufacture"....pay it forward now...you have control of yourown destiny...do the diligence....research the companies before spending your hard-earned dollars!!
who ever said sneeping into your ELBOW is a good thing. I've seen people do that, their nose is covered and the sneeze comes out of their mouth on the bottom full force!
Does "airborn" may help??
Oh yes, I am now singing the abc song when I wash my hands and using the towels I dry off with to open the public restroom door. I bring my own shopping bags to the market and use my own pen at the check out. I'm using the hand sanitizer outside our office every time I'm gone and return. I have sanitizer in the car. I also quit chewing my fingernails and am constantly reminding myself not to touch my eyes nose or mouth. I sure hope all this anal retentive behavior pays off because it is so not me. I just really don't want to get sick this winter so I'm seeing all this as a kind of experiment to see if the precautions really protect me. Will get flu shots too, when available.
Sneezing in the elbow?? I've already watched three people sneeze into their elbows by tucking their nose in their elbows while they sneeze. Naturally, their mouths are exposed and they shoot their viral mist all over the place. This has far greater implications than simply sneezing into one's hand. Whatever happened to washing your hands after you sneeze? Or keeping the hands sanitized. I'm afraid far too many people are not going to properly sneeze and instead blow their snot all over everyone.
"Get your seasonal flu vaccine as soon as possible. It's safe, and it protects against the three seasonal flu bugs expected to circulate this fall and winter -- even though it won't protect against H1N1 swine flu."
? !! What how can it be said the vaccines are safe when they are only just now being developed and plans to begin vaccinating the public is simply too soon for adequate trials to be conducted. To say nothing of the thermisol containing mercury used as a preservative.
probiotics yes, and vitamin D! I am a nurse in New Mexcio and despite all the sun we have here, most people have vitamin D levels that are low! Lab tests confirm. The immune system benefit from adequate D levels is phenomenal.
To anonymous who said "thermisol containing mercury used as a preservative" - they no longer use thermisol in vaccines. It was stopped long ago. So get your shots people!

Vaccination Is Not Immunization
Leo Rebello, MD, ND, PhD
Immunity is inbuilt -- it may be weak, medium or strong. If weak it can be built. For healthy immunity your blood should be 70% alkaline and 30% acidic. But because of the wrong food that we eat day in and day out this ratio is in inverse proportion. Impure blood then destroys the immunity and internal organs creating dis-ease state.
The lethal brew called the vaccinations made from disease cells and so many obnoxious ingredients do not build up immunity. Rather these vaccines are introduced to create more diseases. As I have said in my new doctor's oath, vaccinations are worse than rape. It is heinous and those who have made vaccination mandatory, like in USA and in the EU countries, are the mass murderers. Hitler pales into insignificance when it comes to genocide of small children due to vaccinations.
So many clandestine events are planned behind the closed doors of the medical laboratories which have a set agenda to follow, namely population control. For example, how many people (including doctors, parents, planners, politicians, advocates, administrators, consumer rights organisation) are even aware that now the required number of childhood vaccines has increased to dangerous levels. These are the weapons of mass destruction.
1980 20 vaccines
2003 40 vaccines
2004 53 vaccines
2005 58 vaccines
2006 63 vaccines
2008 68 vaccines
Why is this number going up every year and it is never reported or discussed in the media or in the parliaments of the nations? Earlier, vaccinations were given only to small children. Now they are recommended even to senior citizens and there are 73 vaccines for adults.As a result people are getting sicker. Issues like, (a) Sudden Infant Death, (b) Autism, (c) Measles (d) Human Papilloma Virus Vaccine, (e) Flu Shots and Mercury in Vaccines, (f) Why infant deformities and deaths are increasing are deliberately not discussed.
New vaccines are being invented every year and routinely included in the "Mandated Immunization Schedule".
Who has made them mandatory and on what basis? Money decides everything. See how Bird Flu/Swine Flu scares are created and then inadequately tested or costly Tamiflu is promoted. But cancer and AIDS vaccine is nowhere in sight. Because these two diseases are created by infecting bloodline itself. Today, there are 68 vaccines mandated for use before a child is eighteen years old. And yet, our infant mortality rate and the health of our children are appalling. The incidence of both infectious diseases and degenerative diseases among Americans is skyrocketing. Allopathy is a pseudo science and allopathic vaccinations are based not on scientific premise but greed and more greed. The role of vaccinations over the past 100 years has been grossly exaggerated and the harm done has been carefully hidden from public view. Life-changing information is deliberately hidden by the immoral greed-driven industry. BBC recently removed the website on CAM. When I complained to them, they wrote saying they are improving it and it will be up again shortly. By the same token the Modern Medicine website, which gives much more misleading and dangerous information is not removed, I countered.
Veggie vaccines, urine vaccines, homeopathic vaccines (nosodes) are never discussed even though they are cheaper, safer and without any side effects. Likewise, the role of good diet and nutrition, as also herbs, fruits and vegetables (God's pharmacy) is never discussed. Now you require a doctor's prescription even to buy vitamins and minerals, even though banned and bannable drugs are freely available off the shelf.
Wake up folks, wake up. In this information explosion age if you do not get proper information or if you do not use your common sense than you are an educated fool. If you wish to remain in fool's paradise that is your look out. But do not rape your children willy-nilly.

7 Reasons Schools Should NOT
Mandate Vaccines
article from www.thinktwice.com
1. Parents should not be obligated to play Russian Roulette with their children.
Vaccines pose serious risks. These hazards are acknowledged by vaccine manufacturers in their product inserts, documented in numerous studies, substantiated by the federal government's Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS), and confirmed anecdotally by parents. For example, the MMR vaccine manufacturer concedes that diabetes, thrombocytopenia (a serious blood disorder), arthritis, encephalitis (brain inflammation), Guillain-Barre syndrome (paralysis), and death, have all been reported during clinical trials of its vaccine. Peer-reviewed studies link the haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) vaccine to epidemics of type 1 diabetes, the hepatitis B vaccine to autoimmune and neurological disorders, and the flu vaccine to paralytic ailments. These are just a few examples. Medical and scientific journals contain hundreds of other peer-reviewed studies linking vaccines to debilitating ailments. In addition, every year approximately 14,000 people file vaccine adverse reaction reports with the CDC. In just the past 26 months -- as of August 2008 -- more than 8,500 young American females filed adverse reaction reports after receiving the new HPV vaccine. Nearly 600 of these cases were labeled "serious," requiring hospitalization, resulting in life-threatening disabilities, or death. VAERS is a passive reporting system, so the number of people believed to be hurt by vaccines is vastly underreported. According to Dr. David Kessler, former head of the FDA, "only about 1 percent of serious events -- adverse drug reactions -- are reported." This is confirmed by the Thinktwice Global Vaccine Institute, which receives unsolicited personal stories of vaccine damage every day. The families telling these dreadful stories rarely file official reports. Of course, these stories do not constitute "proof" of vaccine damage -- at least no more than a child's cry after skinning his knee is "proof" of pain. However, patterns of adverse vaccine reactions are easily observed when unrelated families consistently report similar stories of healthy children prior to their shots, and hospitalized children after their shots. These patterns tell a larger story. A medical industry that errs on the side of denial rather than concern is backward and criminally negligent. In an enlightened healthcare community, we would listen to the larger story with sincerity, and opt to protect additional children from harm. Pretending that serious reactions to vaccines are rare does not make it true, incapacitates our children, and degrades our society. Since reputed vaccine risk-to-benefit ratios are bogus, and pharmaceutical shots are considerably more unsafe than officially acknowledged, it is morally unconscionable to mandate vaccines for entry into an educational institution.

Is it still advisable to take Tamiflu if the signs and symtoms of the flu ( such fever , body aches) exceed 48 hours? Please give
an advise.
I would like to know about the Tamiful as well. This morning I had a slight cough and with a matter of three hours, had a 101 temperature, chills, headache, cough and sore throat. I am 52 years old and taking Zicam as well as Bayer aspirin and want to know if there is anything else besides the regular intake of clear fluids.
The only defense you need and that works against the flu (unlike vaccines) is a combination of our own psychological and physical health to which oen adds natural and organically enhancing supplements and blood cleaning regimin (zappers).
If you are not immune to the flu, all you need to do is tke some supplements, and zap for extra viral eliminating efficiency.
A friend last year had felt sick one day, he sqaid it was the flu, and him being a natural health practitioner knew exactly how to eliminate it. He immediately wiped his nostrils and ears with hydrogen peroxide. Then he used his zapper for 3 hours. The next morning he wiped with the H peroxide again, and all symptoms of the flu were gone.
So here is a list of what to do to prevent and eliminate the flu:
the top 3 are most important for preventative care, if symptoms develop then immediately begin dosing on the other remedies for 5 to 7 days to makse sure virus is gone
- Vitamin D3 by Carlson's brand or similar 5 drops a day for maintenance if symptoms develop immediately start high dosing to 10 drops 5 times a day
- nano Silver the best is here >>> bionaid.com
put into spray bottle or atomizer and spray in ears, nostrils and in and around eyes before leaving the house every day
if symptoms develop put 1 teaspoon in 5 oz water and drink, every 3 hours for 3 days
- Essential oils , any of the following angelica, clove, myrhh, lavender, eucalyptus, peppermint, ginger, frankincense, can also buy multi oil blends with some of these in them
add 3 drops on inside wrists and rub til absorbed, every day before leaving house
- Vitamin C powder or ester C, Emergen C powder packs - only lemon lime flavor, stay away from the rest
- Black Walnut Tincture or multi herb blend like Dr. Schultze's products like his Echinacea Plus, his SuperTonic and his Cayenne tincture, all great to have on hand to dose on if symptoms develop, 2 to 3 droperfuls every 3 hours, around the clock
- Detox teas with ginger root, echinacea, milk thistle, valerian, pau d arco, any of these with a pinch of cayenne pepper in it around the clock, Dr.Schultzes tea is good
- curcumin powder in water, about a teaspoon in 7 oz water, sip every 3 hours for 3 days
get at healthfood store in spice isle
- Elderberry herbs products, healthfood store
- Terminator 2 Zapper,http://www.toolsforhealing.com/ begin slow and increase to 3 to 7 hours a day if symptoms develop, use around the clock, very important and will dramatically get rid of many things
additional remedies, hydrogen peroxide is awesome at oxidizing viruses immediately
- suggestion for everyone is to have 2 to 3 mini spray bottles or atomizers, fill with regular hydrogen peroxide and keep 1 in your car, 1 at work, 1 at home
- througout the day spray your hands and rub them together, leave for 1 minute and towel dry or air dry
- when you are exiting your car to go in your home, use your spray bottle to spray your steering wheel and handles then spray your hands , then go in your house this will cut your chances dramatically of bringing any virus in your house, make this a daily habit
- get out of fear as this is the seed for viruses to do what they do, get empowered and know the Truth
- eat healthy and stay away from all sodas, even supossed health juices, this is a load of bull pucky, even fruit juices are not healthy they cause similar effects in your body as do synthetic drinks with sugar
- make herb teas and then sweeten with stevia and lemon, you can also add sparkling mineral water like pelligrino or similar to make a sudsy drink, again squeesze fresh lemon and sweeten with stevia, you can drink these every day
- or simple fresh lemon sqeezed in water in a water bottle, very cleansing and will help do many other beneficial things

My husband has the swine flu and was given Tamiflu...He has had a raging headache after taking just 1 pill. He was so out of it yesterday I was concerned. After vomiting twice he began to act odd and talk to himself. It has been over 24 hours since he took 1 pill and is still not OK and I don't mean from the flu. Called the doctors and they said to just follow the flu instructions. Be very careful if you are given this drug. My husband is a very healthy man and never gets the flu or hardly even a cold. I will just say that given the choice of this drug or the swine flu...he would take just the flu. The only signs he had were aches, and coughing with so mild chest pain. No fever. Hope this helps someone.
