Swine Flu - Do You Have Concerns?
Fear is mounting with the scare of swine flu spreading throughout our country, state, city and community. No one wants it to enter their home, but yet it might. I’ve been researching and studying different protocols to see what is being suggested in the holistic field of health since that is where I choose to find answers.
First of all understand this. The drug companies stand to make a great deal of money from selling the vaccine, but holistic doctors warn us not to use it. Why? Various health professionals have shared information as to why it is harmful to have a flu shot and the consensus says the following. The swine flu vaccine has not been thoroughly tested. Normal testing requires a minimum of a year study but preferably five years of study for thorough testing. This vaccine hasn’t been tested even close to a year. To get the first doses available could be the most harmful of all.
Many health professionals said that in the past epidemics of flu, the one in the mid-seventies as an example, more people died from the vaccine than did the actual flu. Scary, isn’t it? The media and certainly the drug companies don’t share this information because they want people to utilize the vaccine, but if you dig a little you can find documentation of many deaths from various flu vaccines. It is said that nerve damage can be the result of the vaccine, it can allow the development of an autoimmune disease (like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus), cause brain damage, and even cause cancer. Animal cancer cells are used to create the vaccine according to information provided by some alternative health professionals. Apparently the Baxter vaccine uses cells from African green monkeys which can transmit the HIV virus. The old problem of mercury in vaccines is still present. So it seems using a swine flu vaccine may not be your best choice.
Your best course of action is prevention. How do you beef up your immune system so it resists the “bug” or at least gives you a mild case and faster recovery? Remember that this virus is airborne, so be careful to avoid areas where large masses of people carrying the virus could be, and stay as far away from anyone who is sneezing, coughing, blowing their nose, or has a fever.
One of the first things to consider are your lungs. Your lungs are the back-up for the intestines, so of course they must be working well too. One suggestion is to detox your lungs with herbal products and then perform coffee enemas. If this isn’t your choice, perhaps using an intestinal cleanse blend and castor oil packs would work for you. Make sure your digestion is working optimally as well as your elimination process. This assures that the food ingested is assimilated and the waste moves right out – very important for health.
Some nutrients that can boost your immune system are these: Vitamin D3, Colostrum, DHLA, Immune Complex, and of course Vitamin C. These are all products created and manufactured by Premier Research Labs and are quantum supplements that are very pure, all from living plants, and absolutely no tagalongs, fillers, or tainting in the product or manufacturing process. There is no magnesium stearate either, which is an extremely harmful excipient. (filler)
Vitamin D is critical to our health and immune system. Our body was designed to manufacture a sufficient amount of vitamin D from exposure to sunlight, but sadly few Americans spend enough time in the sunlight, and if they do they are primarily covered. As a result most people are quite deficient in vitamin D. Many multi-vitamins include about 400 I.U./day when actually an individual needs between 1000 – 2000 I.U./per day.
What is so important about vitamin D? First and foremost it boosts and maintains immune cell maturity and integration. In other words, it is important for the function of our immune system so we can fight off viruses and germs. It also serves to maintain the health of cells in the breasts, lungs, colon, esophagus, stomach, pancreas, bladder, prostate, uterus, ovaries and kidneys. It has been shown to support bone and hip health due to healthy calcium metabolism. Optimal levels of vitamin D correlate with a healthy mood and mental function as well as good blood flow to the heart.
Colostrum has long been known to build the immune system. This is what is secreted by a new mother for about 3 days after giving birth. Nursing the infant the first few days after birth provides an immense immune defense for the infant. Using PR Labs Colostrum provides a broad-spectrum immune support and the richest natural source of MSM. Colostrum is also the only known food source of NAA (N-Acetylneuraminic Acid), one of the 8 health providing sugars necessary for optimal human physiology and growth. Although levels of this are made by the body, as we age and with stress it declines. Many people are thus deficient in this important nutrient.
DHLA by PR Labs is the worlds first stable DHLA, unprecedented in history. It contains Resveratrol as well for an unparalleled DNA support and protection. It’s the one proven supplement to help literally every patient with immune problems or low energy. DHLA is the ultimate antioxidant capable of quenching every known free radical in living cells, and we know that free radicals are one of the major causes of chronic health dysfunction.
Taking DHLA can reduce the amount of supplements needed with more dramatic improvement at a faster rate.
This form of DHLA has been created in a stable form which has never been done before.
The Resveratrol included in this formula is an incredible anti-aging nutrient and gene activator. It helps to turn off cancer genes so protects against cancer of all types, protects the brain, outperforms Viagra’s circulatory effect, increases nitric oxide so it naturally dilates blood vessels, protects the brain, protects against cardiovascular disease, reverses arterial damage, and has anti-inflammatory effects.
The immune complex created by PR Labs is a synergistic blend of immune boosting nutrients that help to support the immune system when deficient. Strengthening the immune function only makes sense in a time when a virus such as the Swine flu is permeating the entire world.
Vitamin C has been around a very long time as a defense for viruses, colds and the entire immune system. It is a free radical detoxifier and an immune specific booster. However, most of the products that claim to be vitamin C aren’t really Vitamin C. What a shocker! Most products list their vitamin C source from calcium ascorbate, magnesium ascorbate or potassium ascorbate, or as ascorbic acid. These laboratory-produced powders are chemically synthesized molecules manufactured in a test tube and are often made from genetically modified corn sugar. They are not true vitamin C!
But PR Labs found a pure source of true vitamin C with 30 times more vitamin C than other C’s in the Camu-camu plant. This offers a superior strengthening of the immune system with mood-uplifting effects. In addition, it contains a significant amount of potassium as well as niacin, riboflavin and phosphorus. An additional benefit of this vitamin C is that it is non-irritating to the stomach or bladder. Using this product can often clear up herpes virus outbreaks and the Epstein Barr virus.
Be conscious of lymph gland congestion. It is often difficult to unplug the lymphs yet it is vital to do so. We often see that something like breast cancer begins with lymph congestion and moves into another area like the breast tissue due to this congestion. One powerful way to unplug any lymph congestion is to use a rebounder. Some people refer to these as mini-trampolines. It is important to begin slowly, only 3 minutes, working up to perhaps 15 minutes very slowly. Never allow your feet to leave the net. The process is more about bouncing than jumping, for that is what opens the lymphs so the toxins can be released.
Use the basic suggestions most health professionals mention: Wash your hands frequently; wear a mask if you are contagious; stay home if you’re sick; drink a lot of water to flush toxins out; use some of the strategies and nutrients mentioned above to help you remain healthy and strong regardless of what is going on around you. Pay attention to what is good for your health and body and help create a strong fortress so that the Swine flu bug, or any bug, cannot infiltrate your precious body!
