Swine Flu Pandemic?

Unless you are living in "a galaxy far, far away", you would have heard about the new "pandemic", Swine Flu. The press has been full of panic-inducing stories of Swine Flu. Deja vu? We had the SARS "pandemic" and the Bird Flu "Pandemic". Or was it a pandemic?

Don't get me wrong. I believe that there should be early warnings of potential health treats, be it local or global, so contamination can be minimized, but don't be drawn into the press-induced panic attacks. The fact of the matter is that all flu can kill. In the US approximately 200,000 people are hospitalised and 36,000 die every year - that is from the usual winter flu, not swine flu.   Does it play on your mind or cause you to lose sleep that you might catch the flu every winter? To put this further in perspective, 3000 people die of Malaria every DAY, but it is considered a "health problem" not a pandemic.


Many people who die from flu, die of the following bacterial infections. The majority of deaths from the 1918 Flu was from secondary bacterial infections which could be easily treated today.

The 1976 swine flu "pandemic", never eventuated but thousands of people were paralysed and 25 deaths were caused by the vaccination.


Flu is a serious disease, whether it be swine flu, bird flu or your common or garden variety that comes around every year. It's unlikely that you can protect yourself by wearing a mask, but it could stop you sneezing on others if you have it. Flu can last on door knobs and other surfaces for up to 3 days. It can be passed by a kiss on the cheek. If you have any flu, don't spread it around. Don't take it out shopping or to work with you where you can infect other people.

What can you do to protect yourself?

• Purified Liquid Zeolite stops viruses from replicating by capturing viral particles (this has been dramatically demonstrated in informal trials with Hepatitis C)
• Agari mushroom drops - it is said to increase your natural killer cells by 3000% within 72 hours
• Increase your Vitamin D levels. The best way is sunshine. Another way is Cod Liver Oil. If you take this route, make sure you take it with zeolite to remove any mercury. Another method is via supplement. (remember supplements of D can cause overdose if not taken at the correct dosage).
• Regularly wash your hands with warm, soapy water. This will decrease the chance of spreading the virus to your nose, mouth or other people.
• For all influenzas, increase your immune function. Purified liquid zeolite is an immune modulator. agari mushroom is a powerful immune enhancer. Echinacea, Vitamin C and plenty of water are all recommended.  Swine flu has been seen in younger people, not just the young and old, the usual population at risk, therefore an actual viral inhibitor or viral killing agents may be helpful. These are things like purified liquid zeolite, olive leaf extract and grapefruit seed oil.
• Eat and juice fresh fruit and vegetables. Include garlic with this. Garlic is a powerful anti bacterial and anti viral.
• Get enough sleep. It has been shown that dropping from 8 to 7 hours of sleep a night for a week or more can lower the immune system.
• Don't underestimate keeping well hydrated whether you have the flu or not.
