Swine Flu Advice or Hoax

What is Swine Flu?

Swine flu is a form of influenza that originated in pigs but can now be caught by and spread among people. The current outbreak started in Mexico, and has spread throughout the world. At the time of this writing there have been 159 deaths in Mexico but only one death elsewhere, a Mexican child in Texas.  

What does this mean to me?

Before we get hysterical, lets do some comparisons.  In the US, we average 173 deaths per day from “the regular flu”, or 63,000 per year.  When you compare this number to the Swine Flu, it’s not a pandemic. It’s not even a problem.

What is the problem?

The pharmaceutical companies aren’t making enough money.  Sales are down and a new vaccine is just what they need to increase their bottom line. Millions of dollars are at stake. If they can blow this out of proportion, their stockholders will get rich.

How do they do this?

They have control over the media. With all the money they spend on advertising, they can get just about any message out in the mainstream. Plague coming. Get vaccinated.

What not to do?

Don’t freak out. Fear is what sells vaccines. There is no vaccine at this time that works with the swine flu, but I’m sure they’ll try to sell the stuff they already have (that doesn’t work and only lowers your immune system).

It’ll take 6 months to manufacture a vaccine.  And a lot of things can happen by then. The crisis might be over or there’s a possibility that it won’t be effective because the virus could mutate.

What should we do?

The best way to protect yourself form the Swine Flu is to build up your immune system. Steps to do this are as follows:

Eliminate your allergies.

Allergies rob your immune system of energy. Treat (eliminate) your allergies and strengthen your immune system.

The-Allergy-Kit does just that. It eliminates your symptoms and response to the substance that doesn’t affect most people. Its energy medicine at it’s best. You won’t suffer from allergies and their symptoms anymore. The-Allergy-Kit is a natural home remedy that reprograms your immune system.  Never suffer from food allergy symptoms again.

The treatment doesn’t use drugs, homeopathic remedies or over the counter medicines that mask your symptoms.  There are no allergy shots or avoidance either.

It’s a simple method that is so easy to administer, a child can do the treatments.

After the treatments, your immune system will be stronger and more able to do the job it was intended, protect the body from all types of flu and most other germs.

Exercise more.

One half hour three times a week is the minimum.

Eat less junk foods and fast foods, processed foods and sodas.

These bring down the immune system to a point where you are vulnerable to swine flu and leave your body open to attack.

Eat more fruits and vegetables.

Your body counts on the nutrients from fruits and vegetables to strengthen the immune system. You should eat 5 to 9 servings of fruits and vegetables each day. Even if you’re taking vitamins, you need your fruits and veggies.

If you find this impossible, there is an alternative.

Byron J Richards asked:


Up to this point most deaths from the new swine flu have occurred in Mexico, striking indiscriminately at young and old.  What alarms health officials is the ability of this flu to kill seemingly healthy young adults, which is a prerequisite for a pandemic.  I have received a number of questions from concerned individuals wondering if boosting their immune system would make them more susceptible to a problem, a question I will cover in detail.

First, let’s put what we do know in perspective.  Many of the Mexicans who have died are lower income individuals living in unsanitary and crowded conditions which are ideal breeding grounds for germs.  It has been reported that they cannot afford to take time off work to seek medical care.  Their diets are often lacking in key nutrients that would help the immune system behave normally.  Nevertheless, there is still serious and legitimate concern that young adults can be killed by this flu.

The first death in the U.S. occurred in a 23-month-old Mexican infant who was in Texas at the time of outbreak.  What has concerned health authorities here is that they were unable to save the child despite the use of anti-viral drugs, breathing assistance, and the best care that could be mustered.

The flu pandemic of 1918, also a swine flu, struck many young adults.  Only recently did scientists figure out that this earlier swine flu was able to hijack the host’s own immune response and ramp up the inflammatory aspect of that immune response and thereby increase its level of attack in a healthy person.

It is important to understand that your immune system is not just one type of response, it is many.  If you get the flu you absolutely must have the energy and nutrition to be able to make antibodies.  The speed and efficiency you can do this will determine the severity of infection and your odds of survival.

For example, in cases where humans contracted the bird flu in Asia, if they began making enough antibodies to the infection by day 7 they lived, if they didn’t start mounting an effective response by day 9 they died.  This pattern appears similar to the current reports of people dying in Mexico – by the 9th day of a significant battle it is too late unless your own immune system has kicked into gear.  In this context you must have the nutritional horsepower to fuel antibody production or you could be in for a very unpleasant experience.

Another aspect of your immune response is its initial inflammatory reaction – which is of course normal.  This is one aspect of immunity that occurs before antibodies are made, and is part of the process that leads to antibodies being made.  It is possible for a younger or healthier person to have a more exaggerated inflammation response than an elderly person, infant, or person with compromised immunity.  In this scenario, inflammatory cytokines may become their own problem – think of this as a “cytokine storm.”  This was the case with the similar flu in 1918.

This problem does not mean that you should not attempt to naturally boost your immune system.  It does mean that you should use nutrients as part of your immune support protocol that reduce inflammation so as to help “put a lid” on how much inflammation is generated.  The single best nutrient for this is quercetin, which has been proven to help prevent the flu.  However, there are many nutrients that are anti-inflammatory in nature and any of them would be helpful, including the fresh fruit and vegetables that should be part of your diet.

It is also important to understand that a younger adult who is stressed out, not sleeping enough, eating poorly, is too anxious or wound up, and is in a general trend of wear and tear has already primed the inflammatory pump.  This means that a flu entering into such a person is much more likely to have a magnified inflammatory response because this person’s anti-inflammatory and relaxation reserves are already running on empty.

During the time of a potential flu pandemic the last thing you want to do is let yourself get worn down.  Besides lifestyle management, any nutrients that help you sleep better, feel calmer, or manage stress better will also help your immune system not hyper-react to a problem.

While this may seem like common sense, there are many people out there who are generally healthy but are running their bodies into the ground trying to get things done.  This is definitely a time to re-evaluate your priorities as doing so can put you into a high risk category if this flu begins to spread.

In my recent article, Tips for the Flu Season, I have given a thorough review of nutrition that can help you effectively boost and support your own immune system.  You need to be able to make immune troops on demand, have them well armed, while at the same time minimizing the inflammatory aspect of fighting a bug.  Of course, if you do develop a problem seek medical care.

influenza viruses undergo frequent genetic mutations and rearrangements that produce viruses with new combinations of surface antigens. how would this affect the ability of the immune system to defend against the flu
