How do you prepare for the flu?

According to this article from the Washington Post a number of Americans use alternatives to flu shots. I’m certainly one of them.

Half of Americans fighting flu with supplements

By Jennifer LaRue Huget

Nearly half of Americans plan to use dietary supplements or homeopathic treatments to help ward off influenza this season. But only about a third of that group plans to also get a flu shot.

That’s the news from a survey of 1,500 adults conducted in September by the Consumer Reports National Research Center. Read the rest of the article here.

Swiss Homeopaths criticize swine flu vaccinations

What do you think? Is there only one road to staying healthy in the winter time? And that consisting of flu vaccinations. We are taught for the most part in life to consider options, research for ourselves…learn to think. Why not when it comes to this issue? There are many powerful natural (vs. synthetic) substances which can enhance one’s immunity ranging from essential oils, to foods, to homeopathic remedies, herbs from the world’s rich storehouse of herbal legacies and probably even how one thinks! Why not health freedom? Why not apply these other areas of wisdom? Why not? I support the Swiss Homeopaths to have the freedom to speak their truth. Cheers.

On National Vaccination Day and as Switzerland braces itself for a swine flu outbreak, the Swiss Association of Homeopathic Physicians has advised against the H1N1 jab.

In a statement of Friday, the homeopaths not only said the flu was by and large harmless but they also raised concerns over the two government-approved vaccines, Pandemrix and Focetria.

Above all the association criticized the use of so-called adjuvants, chemical compounds that increase the human body’s immune response, in the vaccines, saying they could lead to dramatic side-effects. The Swiss health authorities have however already said any side-effects, if any, are minor.

The Federal Health Office has recommended inoculating certain risk groups in a first wave – beginning in mid-November – including the chronically-ill, pregnant women and health staff, but stops short of mandatory jabs. After this, the wider public will be invited to be inoculated.

On Thursday health authorities warned the swine flu pandemic was expected to hit Switzerland with full force in the coming days, with confirmed cases of swine flu tripling last week to about 2,000.

In total tens of thousands of people with flu symptoms had consulted a doctor and were believed to have come down with a mild form of the illness. So far 38 people have been admitted to hospital, including six who are still in intensive care.

Flu Vaccine for Children, Untested

A new vaccine for swine flu is most likely to be targeted at vulnerable groups such as young children and pregnant women. But a Radio 4 documentary has discovered that little or no data exists on the safety or effectiveness of flu vaccines on these groups. (read more)

Untested Swine Flu Vaccine, would you take the shot?

Interesting what is happening in the UK regarding the swine flu vaccine. Seems as if some want to force this vaccine on the public. And there is resistance. Who are the unfortunate ones who are “tested”? Consider that even with volunteers who decide to undergo testing, so much can still go wrong with these substances.
Apparently all pharmaceutical testing isn’t above board. What should one call it, if someone with access to humans, in such an intimate way as medical care desires to test a substance without a subjects knowledge? How ever you spin it, it is not for the greater good. In one recent case executives were indicted for unethical activity. Is it possible that other such cases could exist? At any rate, when it comes to immunity, the only real immunity is afforded by one having a healthy immune system.

Untested swine flu vaccine could put British public at risk, warn experts

EXPERTS have warned about the potential dangers of using untested vaccines as the British government prepares to fast-track inoculations against swine flu.
The European Medicines Agency, the EU’s top drug regulatory body, is accelerating the approval process for swine flu vaccine in order to have it ready before winter. (article here)
