This video is from the Dr. Mercola website. Highly recommend you subscribe to his mailing list. Often has great info on the realities of medical practices and nutrition.

This is actually a series of 3 videos where Dr. Mercola interviews Barbara Loe Fisher, founder of the National Vaccine Information Center. (see her website for a video regarding vaccines)She is the Go-To person with regard to valid vaccination information. She is no Anti-Vaccine as I am but she does shed light on the realities of the pros and cons of them. She warns against the H1N1 for a number of reasons. In section two of this she points out the concerns of the medical community, or more accurately the drug companies aim to make us dependent on vaccines vs. what our immune system will do more effectively.

No other nutritional product has been proven clinically to boost the immune system other than Juice Plus+, other than fruits and vegetables which is what Juice Plus+ is made of.

This is an exerpt from Dr. Mitra Ray’s newsletter. You will find a link to her website and newslettter subscription on the right. Dr. Ray has many topics in her newsletter.

What do you recommend people REALLY do to protect their health against Swine Flu (other than receiving a scary vaccine)?

Please address this whole ‘Swine Flu’ (H1N1) epidemic that’s supposedly coming, and what you recommend people REALLY do to protect their health (other than receiving a scary vaccine).

Answer provided by Dr. Jennifer Daniels: The virus is the seed. Its growth and progress is determined by the soil that it’s “planted in.” The soil would be the conditions in your body.

Let’s talk about the epidemic part first. An epidemic is defined as a rapid spread or increase in the occurrence of a disease. We know that getting a disease has 2 components: exposure and susceptibility.

Exposure
Person-to-person contact could not spread a disease as fast as the Swine Flu is predicted to spread. An outbreak of this magnitude would require a common source exposure. This means that the food supply, water, air, or something that large numbers of people are exposed to at the same time would have to be the source of exposure to the virus.

The one obvious source of exposure to the virus is the vaccine, which we know is manufactured from the virus. This source of exposure is easily avoided. Do not get vaccinated.

The next source of Swine Flu is swine (or pork). Do not eat it.

The next source of viral exposure is tap water. Drink reverse osmosis water or distilled water.

Dairy products can make it difficult for the body to resist respiratory infections. Eliminate dairy from your diet.

This will address the exposure part. Person-to-person contact is not, and has never been, a factor in sweeping epidemics. So secluding yourself, getting the vaccine, drinking tap water, and sending out for pizza with sausage and extra cheese only increases your chances of exposure.

Susceptibility
Once you have handled the exposure part, you need to address your internal environment.  In the event that you are exposed, you need to be sure that you have an internal environment in your body that will not allow the virus to grow.

In order to flourish, the virus needs sugar, an immune system burdened by other organisms, malnutrition, not enough oxygen, or dehydration.

Eat a diet that has no sugar, eat a nutritious diet (meaning a whole-food, plant based diet), avoid foods that have lots of bacteria (mainly meat and dairy), take deep breaths, and do enemas daily during the period that you feel exposure is likely.

Take your Juice Plus regularly, including the Vineyard blend – a properly functioning immune system and cardiovascular system are up to the task of creating antibodies and efficiently fighting off infections, otherwise we would not have made it as a species on this planet. The immune system has something called plasticity – it means that if the immune system has the nutritional support it needs and good hydration, it can make antibodies to a virus it has never seen before, and it can do it in a matter of hours. I cannot say the same for the most sophisticated immunological laboratory on the planet.
 
If Infected:
If you feel you have been exposed or that the virus may be in your system, eat raw garlic, radish, and vinegar (see recipe below). This will stimulate the immune system and act as an antibiotic. Continue the dietary measures discussed above.

Dr. Daniels’ Immune Boost Recipe
1 head of garlic, crushed or minced
3 red radishes or 1 turnip grated
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, organic unfiltered if possible, but regular is ok

Put all ingredients in a glass jar. Shake. Let sit for 30 minutes. Take 1 tablespoon (vinegar and solid stuff combined) by mouth 3 times a day until all better. It is ok to double or triple the recipe.

That is really about it.  I would strongly recommend the avoidance steps. They are the most effective and the easiest.

The Good News
Remember, it is just a virus. Like every other virus, the infection rate may be high but the death rate is low and most people experience the flu, even this one, as a few days of inconvenience. Do not rush to do things that may be more harmful than doing nothing.

With all the news about the soon to be available Swine Flu Vaccine, the information “fed” to the media, much of it from trusted sources, we all need to be aware of the actual implications. Some are concerned about the actual threat from the Swine Flu itself, vs. the vaccine possibly being worse than getting the flu? One justified concern is adequate testing being done on the vaccine. Drugs developed for the public generally take years before they are released. This vaccine is coming out in a few months. The argument has been made that the technology now is much better than years ago yet there have been instances of vaccines that took decades for negative affects to be realized. One in particular, don’t remember what it was for, but has been now found to be the culprit of cervical cancer in those women to received it many years ago.

There are also the recommendations to take normal flu season precautions. Hand washing and good immune system supporting diet, staying away form school or work when having cold or flu symptoms. These are all valid especially given the scenario that the Swine Flu dangers are being overblown.

In any case here are some links to information out there that are good indicators of why it’s not a good idea to get the Swine Flu vaccine.

This is a link to a blog about health care workers who don’t trust it’s safety.

This is from Dr. Mercola, and advocate for natural health and nutrition.

This link not only warns against the Swine Flu vaccine, but the dangers, not only with our health, but in other ways regarding ANY vaccine. This is political but can affect our lives in ways beyond health issues.

Another link similar to the last, an interview with Dr Eisenstein, who is a follower of the late Dr. Robert Mendelson. Dr Mendleson was author of  “Confessions of a Medical Heretic” who spoke out about the dangers of many medical practices. One of which was vaccinations, but others included Ultra-Sound, Mammograms, X-Rays etc. An, enought about Dr. Mendelson, you can look him up. Very informative.
