Flu Epidemic Info
Safely enhance your Immune Function to Avoid the Swine Flu! October 13th, 2009 While the CDC has released 12 million additional Tamiflu vaccines for states to use, the sad truth is this vaccine is not as effective as it is held out to be. Use over the last two flu seasons has not shown increased levels of protection against season flu virus strains from Asia. Read more on Tamiflu’s ineffectiveness and here from the World Health Organization.
In addition there are serious flaws in the current H1N1 vaccine as illustrated by this pice from Food Matters: Swine Flu Warning
It looks like we are on our own - again. So to address this full on, I suggest the following general guidelines:
First & foremost - Increase your immune system responsiveness Wash hands frequently & clean doorknob, phones, pens, etc. frequently Avoid airline travel if at all possible
Consider using a paper filter mask if you are going to be in areas known to be infected with the flu Avoid becoming emotionally or physically worn down If you become worn down, call for an appointment : 673-9954
Refer to my suggestions in the “Preventing Cold & Flu” article on this site, and then see below. Is this an over reaction? - Its hard to say because we never seem to get the full story from our government or media sources. On one hand the flu epidemic of 1918-19 killed between 50 and 100 million people world-wide and 678,000 in the USA. On the other hand there is the “Swine Flu Debacle” of 1976 where 43 million Americans were vaccinated and 4,000 of those developed serious side effects including a very high occurrence of Guillain Barre Syndrome.
As further prevention. I would also recommend having Oscillococcinum on hand, and preventively taking a range of immune enhancing herbs and functional foods Garlic, Vitamin C, Astragalus, Echincaea, Shitake & Maitake mushrooms, Acai Juices, and increasing Vitamin D3 intake. If you would like to consult with Dr. Kennedy on which immune boosters are best for you, please call: (860) 673-9954.
