Swine Flu Information Alert

This is great, and I so appreciate the information for all those who do not – and who desperately need to know! I talked to someone last week who said she had not gotten the flu shot this year and was seriously thinking about going to find out if she could get it for herself and her family. I cautioned her against it, but inside I was shouting, “ARE YOU KIDDING ME???”. Most people don’t have a clue about natural immunity and are willing to just run out and get the latest drug, even though it would be utterly useless. Even on a most basic level, you’d think people would know that if you did get a flu shot now (are they even still available this time of year?), it wouldn’t be for the Swine Flu anyway because scientists develop those preparations in advance for viruses they think will be strong during the coming winter season – and they certainly had no foresight about the Swine Flu back when they made those shots, let alone treating yourself naturally and nutritionally for illness and disease.

I tell you, if those of us who do take care of ourselves and eat right do fall sick, it will be because we’re in the minority and most other people do not take care of themselves – and at some point we will fall victim to something really bad because the vast majority are helping to breed the most virulent species of bacteria and viruses that perhaps even natural cures, nutrition, and remedies won’t be effective against.

Until then, I’ll just keep eating butter, coconut oil, real meat, raw milk, and cod liver oil.

Raine, apparently in my area, you still can get the flu shot. In fact, they (the media) were encouraging people last week to go to the doctor and get the flu shot.

We have confirmed cases of Swine flu in our area. I’ve been doing all the precautions, but I think I’m getting sick. All day long I’ve been drinking chicken stock in the hopes to ward it off. I’m doing the coconut oil, lacto-fermented foods & beverages, etc already. I really hope I don’t get sick.

That last smoothie recipe got me thinking-can you use coconut oil in smoothies?

I honestly believe 24-hour newstations have done nothing but disservice to our society. In an effort to provide instant information, they have whipped up panic in more instances than they have given people information they need. They have to fill 24 hours, and if it’s a slow news day, one story will be harped upon to fill their time.

I’m old enough to remember the swine flu of 1976. Millions were expected to die, none did: not from the flu, anyway. The government issued a statement that every American needed to be immunized. The only two dissenting votes in Congress against this action were the only two physicians. Many died or were permanently disabled from the swine flu “shot.”

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

So far, this flu is following the pattern seen in the 1918 flu pandemic. A mild wave in the Spring, followed by a very deadly wave in the Fall. The death rate in the 1918 pandemic was 2.5%, however this current swine flu in its second wave in Mexico is currently holding a death rate around 6-7%. Once the second and third waves start hitting the US, the death rates are expected to rise in the US. Because this is a new virus, there is no herd immunity and the catch rate is much, much higher than with an average virus. Unfortunately, this particular type of virus has the potential to kill young and healthy people, as the pandemic in 1918 did.

For those concerned about their immunity or wishing to have an extra weapon against the swine flu, I recommend elderberry syrup as both a preventative and a curative. Home-made elderberry syrup is a very cheap and effective aid in helping your body to overcome anything you might be exposed to, as well as sodium ascorbate, oscillio, lacto-fermented foods, cod liver oil, oil of oregano and extra doses of Vit D. There are also multiple other herbs and essential oils known to be anti-viral that can assist in healing. If you do become sick, chest percussion (cupping) can be a huge help to prevent pneumonia from setting in.

We have been discussing this topic on my forum. If you would like to see my elderberry syrup recipe, the thread is at http://www.tfrecipes.com/forum/showthread.php?t=3957 and the syrup recipe is on post #54.

Oh by the way,I live in Orlando, the North America’s swine flu spread central. Just ask South Carolina…. People are freaking out for no good reason. Just be clean, and make sure you get proper medical care when you need it. Not this, here is a pill now go away thing. You have a mouth keep using it till you get what you want. Goodness people!

The coconut oil in my smoothies is not clumpy either and I don’t even melt it. It is very thick and smooth and emulsifies well with the fruit and greens and cocoa powder. I do let it go a while in the vitamix at high speed though.

Does coconut milk have the same qualities as coconut oil? Other than being from coconuts of course – I mean the health benefits.

I think the media and the ‘experts’ lost me when they said to use an antibacterial hand sanitizer to prevent the swine flu. Which is a virus. Bacterial and viral infections are different bugs!

Mary, thanks for the sauerkraut comment. I made sauerkraut last fall and have a crock full of it, but keep forgetting to use it. Thanks.
