Back to School & Swine Flu
 
The drug companies are getting ready to crank up the marketing heat again on their vaccines for swine flu - now known by the politically correct name H1N1.  Early news reports tell us that there will be not one, but two vaccines for this virus.
 
Their marketing hype will have you believe that this vaccine, as well as other flu vaccines, will improve the function of the immune system by placing certain virus or bacteria into your body through injection.  This, however, is not the normal pathway into the body for pathogens that cause disease. 

 

They are taken in through the nose, mouth (entering digestion), eyes, ears and skin.  These pathways are protected by mucous membrane which contain immune system activity to overwhelm and kill these micro-organisms.  Vaccine injections can over-stimulate the immune system potentially causing autoimmune diseases such as Guillain-Barre Syndrome or others.  The Centers For Disease Control said:  "In 1976, vaccination with the swine flu vaccine was associated with getting GBS." 
 

The very best action you can take against a potential pandemic of the swine flu or any other illness is to increase the strength of your immune system.  This may surprise you, but that means a healthy gut!  If you don't know how to increase the health of your gut, let me know, I'll help!
 
While strengthening your gut health, I would suggest taking an anti-viral supplement for the imminent threat of this latest influenza virus.  I recommend several:  Total Virex, Immuplex, Immunitone Plus and others from my dispensary, which are all immune system supportive.  For children and infants:  ImmunoBerry Liquid is a great tasting immune support.  Also add: Probiotic Synergy Powder or Biosphere (tablet) for adults as well as children.
 
Be sure to start these for you and your children at least one week in advance of the start of the school year.
