MORE ON THE NATURAL TREATMENT OF THE H1N1 FLU What is swine flu? Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza virus that regularly causes outbreaks of influenza in pigs. Swine flu viruses cause high levels of illness and low death rates in pigs. Swine influenza viruses may circulate among swine throughout the year, but most outbreaks occur during the late fall and winter months similar to outbreaks in humans. The classical swine flu virus (an influenza type A H1N1 virus) was first isolated from a pig in 1930. SYMPTOMS OF H1N1 FLU The symptoms of swine flu in people are expected to be similar to the symptoms of regular human seasonal influenza and include fever, lethargy, lack of appetite and coughing. Some people with swine flu also have reported runny nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Symptoms of H1N1 flu may including all or some of the following: Fever Muscle aches Lethargy Coughing Headache Sore throat Runny nose Nausea Vomiting Diarrhea Lack of appetite COMPLICATIONS OF H1N1 FLU Pneumonia Sinus infections Bronchitis Ear infections Death As with other flu like illnesses, H1N1 flu is spread as follows: Coughing Sneezing Kissing Touching infected objects Touching nose, mouth and/or eyes with infected hands Swine flu does not spread by eating pork. Don't get stressed by the fear of getting the swine flu. Stress can undermine your immune system. The flu doesn't kill everyone and in most cases may prove benign. Mild exercise, meditation or yoga and healthy nutritious diet can help keep your immune system in good condition and able to ward of any infections. Not every 'infection' becomes a full blown 'disease'. Most infections are taken care of by your body even before you know that you were infected. Most infections affect gravely those people who are vitally deranged. So instead of panicking about the swine flu, stay calm and focus on becoming a healthy 'you Dangers of Vaccination Tamiflu went through some rough times not too long ago, as the dangers of this drug came to light when, in 2007, the FDA finally began investigating some 1,800 adverse event reports related to the drug. Common side effects of Tamiflu include: Nausea Vomiting Diarrhea Headache Dizziness Fatigue Cough All in all, the very symptoms you're trying to avoid. More serious symptoms included convulsions, delirium or delusions, and 14 deaths in children and teens as a result of neuropsychiatric problems and brain infections (which led Japan to ban Tamiflu for children in 2007). And that's for a drug that, when used as directed, only reduces the duration of influenza symptoms by 1 to 1 ½ days, according to the official data. But making matters worse, some patients with influenza are at HIGHER risk for secondary bacterial infections when vaccinated. And secondary bacterial infections, like Streptococcus are likely the REAL cause of death. Take into account that once a specific swine flu drug is created, you can be sure that it has not had the time to be tested in clinical trials to determine safety and effectiveness, which puts us again under risk of dangerous side effects. HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF WITHOU DANGEROUS DRUGS AND VACCINATIONS The most effective way has been proven with homeopathic treament. These natural remedies help you stegnthen your immune system you ability to recover and will be less likely to aquire the infection to begin with. Especially for people who have a chronic condition like asthma, diabetes, depression, periodical colds and allergies and live with high levels of stress and anxiety. Homeopathic remedies need strict individualization and are given as specifically for your own condition. Please consult Sandra Benassini, Classical Homeopath before taking any homeopathic remedy for Flu. Along with a good homeopathic remedy here are some tips that can help you maintain balance: • Optimize your vitamin D levels. Optimizing your vitamin D levels is one of the absolute best strategies for avoiding infections of ALL kinds, and vitamin D deficiency is likely the TRUE culprit behind the seasonality of the flu -- not the flu virus itself. • Avoid Sugar and Processed Foods. Sugar decreases the function of your immune system almost immediately, and as you likely know, a strong immune system is key to fighting off viruses and other illness. Instead use unpasterurized bee honey. • Get Enough Rest. Just like it becomes harder for you to get your daily tasks done if you're tired, if your body is overly fatigued it will be harder for it to fight the flu. • Don’t Stress Out- take 10. We all face some stress every day, but if stress becomes overwhelming then your body will be less able to fight off the flu and other illness. • Exercise. When you exercise, you increase your circulation and your blood flow throughout your body. The components of your immune system are also better circulated, which means your immune system has a better chance of finding an illness before it spreads • Take a good source of animal based omega-3 fats like Krill Oil. Increase your intake of healthy and essential fats like the omega-3 found in krill oil, which is crucial for maintaining health. • Wash Your Hands. Washing your hands will decrease your likelihood of spreading a virus to your nose, mouth or other people. • Eat Garlic Regularly. Garlic works like a broad-spectrum antibiotic against bacteria, virus, and protozoa in the body. • Avoid Hospitals and Vaccines stay away from hospitals unless you're having an emergency, as hospitals are prime breeding grounds for infections of all kinds, and could be one of the likeliest places you could be exposed to this new bug.
