Most vaccination serums are created by using fragments of dead micro-organisms to trigger an immune system response to the invading organism.

The H1N1 nasal mist however is a “live vaccine” (contains the live H1N1 micro-organism).

**If you plan on taking the H1N1 vaccine  please note that women who are pregnant or patients with specific conditions — like asthma or immuno suppression  should not use the nasal form of vaccine due to  added risks posed by the live-virus vaccine.**

As those of you who have been reading my articles may have noted I have been quite suspect about this entire H1N1 (swine flu virus) scare for quite some time.  The release of this “live vaccine”  simply adds more fuel to that fire.  We know that the H1N1 virus has, as predicted, began to spread again.  We also know that pregnant women and the elderly were supposed to be the first to receive the “inject able” vaccine because they are among the “high risk“ groups.   Don’t you find it suspicious that the first shipments of the vaccine are not to be used by the “high risk” groups?

For whom are the intranasal vaccines deemed “safe” for use?  Children!  Now I’d like you to think about this for a moment.  Stated on the insert that comes with the vaccine the product has the potential for transmission to others.  So if a child gets the Flumist in school they are contagious to the other children for at least two weeks.  Is this going to help to contain the virus or help to spread it?  Are you going to let some doctor give your child the live virus?  More importantly are you going to permit your child come in contact with another child who received the intranasal vaccine?

Ladies and Gentlemen the bottom line is that this vaccine, in either form, has been fast tracked with very few studies.  The studies done, however, have been completed without the added thimerosal (mercury) and squalene. The vaccines for the general public, when they are ready, will be formulated with squalene (a possible cause of Gulf War Syndrome) and thimerosal, a known neurotoxin. Very few vaccines without these additives will be available.

Also, 90 percent of the seasonal flu vaccines contain thimerosal.

I’m not trying to frighten anyone here I am simply offering information that might be of interest and or of benefit to my readers.  Much of the information I have seen indicates that the virus has not began to mutate and that the mortality rate is relatively low (especially if you are not in a high risk group).  The question you must ask yourselves is: do the benefits outweigh the risks involved with inoculation?  Don’t take my word for anything here however I strongly advise that you do your due diligence before you make your decision.

Again, in closing, I will state my position that the best offense is a strong defense.  Do all that you can to boost your immune system now and allow your body do what it has been designed to do.

• Nasal H1N1 vaccination warning (1)

Ladies & Gentlemen I believe that there is something radically wrong here.  The more I investigate this health issue the more sinister it appears to be.  Let’s take a quick look at some of the facts.

• The World Health Organization raised the pandemic alert to five on April 29, one short of declaring a global pandemic.

• In May 2009 the WHO declared that 12,515 people had been effected by the H1N1 virus world wide resulting in 91 fatalities.

• Influenza kills 100 people every day and is not considered a “pandemic” by the WHO.

• While the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimated last week that as many as 1 million Americans may have contracted the H1N1 virus, it doesn’t seem to be any more dangerous than the seasonal flu, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told reporters on a teleconference call, July 10.  “At least to date, it appears that while a lot of people may get the H1N1 virus, it doesn’t appear to be significantly more lethal than seasonal flu is,” Sebelius explained.

Almost every study or opinion that I have been able to find states that the H1N1 virus is no more lethal than the seasonal influenza virus.  Yet the WHO is calling this a “pandemic”.   Also noteworthy is that there is a mountain of evidence which shows that the H1N1 vaccine itself is going to prove to be a far greater health hazard than the virus it has been designed to battle.  There have also been claims that the virus has begun to mutate.  If this is true the vaccine will prove to be useless in that it has been created using only fragments of H1N1.

Now Ladies and Gentlemen I don’t know if this virus was created in a laboratory or not and I’m certainly not here to make that argument.  I am only here to present the facts as I know them.  Speaking of which, here is another interesting fact that I stumbled  upon the other day that I found quite interesting:  a patent application dealing specifically with H1N1 (Swine Flu) and it’s sub-types was filed by Baxter Pharmaceuticals almost two years before the first actual case of Swine Flu was reported.  See the Patent Application Here

Finding this application rather conspicuous I began going through my research and play a little game of connect the dots and here is what I found.

It is believed that Ground Zero for the H1N1 outbreak is Mexico City, Mexico.

Baxter Pharmaceutical’s manufacturing plant lies in Cuernavaca which just happens to be located 50 miles from Mexico City.

Baxter sent vaccines contaminated with deadly live H5N1 avian flu virus to 18 countries before someone caught the mistake and the vaccine got injected thousands of people.

Baxter just missed creating its own pandemic then by mixing  deadly H5N1 virus with a mix of H3N2 seasonal flu viruses, or did they?

By possibly creating the pandemic, maybe Baxter already has the cure and that is why the World Health Organization (WHO) has deemed them the appropriate pharmaceutical company to lead the way for a swine flu vaccine.

Oh did I mention that Baxter’s Stock is doing quite well these days?  Have a Look For Yourselves

I’d like to take another path in broaching these issues here if I may.  As I have previously stated I believe that these vaccines are dangerous and should be avoided at all costs.  Again, this is my personal opinion and I do not advise others to take the same path that I have chosen.  I am simply providing you with information that can help you to make the best decisions concerning your health and the health of your families and friends.

Having said that I’d like to take a little time here to offer you some food for thought about vaccinations in general.

“There is a great deal of evidence to prove that immunization of children does more harm than good.”
Dr J Anthony Morris, former Chief Vaccine Control Officer, US Food
and Drug Administration

“In our opinion, there is now sufficient evidence of immune malfunction following current vaccination programmes to anticipate growing public demands for research investigation into alternative methods of prevention of infectious disease.”
Dr’s H. Buttram and J. Hoffman (Vaccinations and Immune Malfunctions)

“Every vaccine carries certain hazards and can produce inward reactions in some people…in general, there are more vaccine complications than is generally appreciated.”
Professor George Dick, London University

“The only wholly safe vaccine is a vaccine that is never used”
Dr James A. Shannon, National Institute of Health, USA

“Live virus vaccines against influenza and paralytic polio, for example, may in each instance cause the disease it is intended to prevent…”
Dr Jonas Salk, developer of first polio vaccine (Science 4/4/77 Abstracts)

Are you beginning to get the picture here?  These people are recognized as leaders in their area of expertise who all agree that immunization is not only useless it has actually exacerbated many of the health issues confronting us today.

Greg Bettie, author of; Vaccination a Parents Dilemma, shows that the death rate due to infectious diseases in Australia ( Whooping Cough, Diphtheria, Measles and Polio to name a few) were already, dramatically, on the decline by the time vaccinations were given and that these serums had nothing to do with the reduction of the morbidity rate.

Dr Henry Bieler, author of ‘Food is Your Best Medicine’ writes, “The primary cause of disease is not germs. Disease is caused by a toxaemia which results in cellular impairment and breakdown, thus paving the way for the multiplication and onslaught of germs”.

The causes of toxaemia are numerous. In third world countries the causes are related primarily to malnourishment, impure water, poor sanitation, poverty and overcrowding. In the developed countries like USA, Australia, England etc the causes are more related to over consumption of animal, dairy and refined processed foods, particularly cereals and grains, chemical additives in food and water, drugs, vaccines, pesticide residues and industrial poisons. Other causes can include poor parental health, traumatic childbirth, impoverished or polluted breast milk, too early introduction of solid foods, spinal misalignment, muscular spasm, and nutritional deficiency.

This is why I believe so strongly that vaccines are at least totally ineffective and at best a clear and present danger to our health.  Studies have shown that this is especially true in the case of children. Vaccines contain not only poisonous chemicals, such as formaldehyde which is commonly used to embalm corpses and is a known carcinogen, thiomersal, a derivative of mercury which is a toxic heavy metal and aluminum phosphate which is a toxin used in deodorants (to name a few) but also foreign proteins such as chick embryo, calf serum, rabbit brain tissue and monkey kidney cells. These foreign proteins can trigger numerous allergic and inflammatory reactions and can produce anaphylactic shock in susceptible infants.

In many children, the retention of vaccine poisons within the body may not cause any acute or noticeable symptoms, but it will cause a lowering of the child’s vitality, which in turn, weakens and impairs it’s intellectual, creative and imaginative powers, it’s physical energy and strength, and all of its internal metabolic functions and immune activities. What this means is that the child will operate at a level well below its true potential.

The toxic build-up within the child’s body and the subsequent depletion of its vitality through vaccines, drugs, fluoridated water, food additives, pesticide residues, atmospheric pollutants, electromagnetic radiation and other adverse factors in the lifestyle makes the child more susceptible to chronic disease at an earlier age, and it’s worth noting that the dramatic rise in childhood cancer, autism, juvenile diabetes, asthma and neurological disorders over the past fifty years, has directly coincided with the era of drugs, vaccines and chemical poisons in our food, water and environment.

Why do vaccinations continue if they have no benefit or more importantly are dangerous?  We will be discussing this question in a later article.

In the mean time I’d like you to keep this in mind.  There is a beneficial nature to childhood infection.  Let’s take a look at some of the symptoms associated with illness and how they actually benefit the body.

Fever – speeds up bodily elimination of toxic waste.

No Appetite – when a fever is present, the digestive system shuts down thus removing the need and desire for food.

Vomiting/Diarrhea – the body’s way of eliminating undigested foodstuff from the digestive tract.

Tiredness/Lethargy – the body’s way of forcing a sick person to rest thus conserving its energy for the vital tasks of cleansing and repair.

Glandular Swelling - the lymph glands filter the blood for toxic substances. Swelling of these glands greatly increases their filtering capacity.

Skin Rash - represents an elimination of toxic waste, the skin being a major eliminative organ.

Mucus Elimination – also an elimination of toxic waste. Mucus is made up of the body’s white blood cells which are the body’s garbage cans containing toxic residue. A good example is the runny nose.

Inflammation – serves the same purpose as fever, to cleanse and repair damaged or poisoned tissue in the body.

Now I’m not saying that we want our children to become ill.  What I am suggesting however is that the presence of these symptoms are not necessarily a bad thing.  They show that the body is functioning properly and is trying to rid itself of the malady that is effecting it.

Again I say in closing that the best defense Is a strong offence.  Do not wait until you or a loved one become ill to take action.  Be proactive not reactive.  Eat properly, supplement your diet with natural vitamins and minerals and keep your immune system strong.

Studies have shown that Fucoidan helps to activate dendritic cells within the body.  These dendritic cells have been shown to be the most effective anitigen presenting cells for naïve T-cells and initiates the process of immune system recognition of a new pathogen.

In simple terms dendritic cells help the body to identify new invaders and pass the information on to helper T-cells, killer T-cells and B cells (which all fight pathogens such as bacteria and viruses).  Dendritic cells are derived from hemopoietic bone marrow progenitor cells.  These progenitor cells initially transform into immature dendritic cells.  These immature dendritic cells, through the use of pattern recognition receptors, are constantly sampling their surrounding areas for pathogens.  Once these specialized cells come into contact with a pathogen they, through a process called “nibbling” basically take samples of the pathogen, degrade their proteins into small pieces and present those fragments at their cell surface.

Simultaneously, they upregulate cell-surface receptors that act as co-receptors in T-cell activation such as CD80 (B7.1), CD86 (B7.2), and CD40 greatly enhancing their ability to activate T-cells. They also upregulate CCR7, a chemotactic receptor that induces the dendritic cell to travel through the blood stream to the spleen or through the lymphatic system to a lymph node. Here they act as antigen-presenting cells: they activate helper T-cells and killer T-cells as well as B-cells by presenting them with antigens derived from the pathogen, alongside non-antigen specific costimulatory signals.

This, simply stated sets the immune system into motion.  The “helper T-Cells (Th)” for all intents and purposes are the traffic cops of the immune system.  Th cells are involved in activating and directing other immune cells, and are particularly important in the immune system. They are essential in determining B cell antibody class switching, in the activation and growth of cytotoxic T cells, and in maximizing bactericidal activity of phagocytes such as macrophages. It is this diversity in function and their role in influencing other cells that gives T helper cells their name.

Killer T-Cells are a type of T cell that attacks cells having specific antigens on their surface, such as cancer cells or cells infected with a virus. Also called cytotoxic T cell or CD8+ T cell.

The principal functions of B cells are to make antibodies against antigens, perform the role of Antigen Presenting Cells (APCs) and eventually develop into memory B cells after activation by antigen interaction. B cells are an essential component of the adaptive immune system.

Understanding how the immune system works and how Fucoidan sets the wheels in motion gives us a clear picture as to the potential that this important sea-derived substance may be the natural answer to H1N1 that we have all been looking for.

Although vitamin C & zinc have historically received most of the press regarding their ability to help resist cold and flu, Vitamin D is the big winner here.  In fact recent studies have shown that people with the lowest vitamin D levels are often the most susceptible to colds and flu.

“The findings of our study support an important role for vitamin D in prevention of common respiratory infections, such as colds and the flu,” says researcher Adit Ginde, MD, MPH, of the University of Colorado, Denver, Division of Emergency Medicine, in a news release. “Individuals with common lung diseases, such as asthma or emphysema, may be particularly susceptible to respiratory infections from vitamin D deficiency.”

“We are planning clinical trials to test the effectiveness of vitamin D to boost immunity and fight respiratory infection, with a focus on individuals with asthma and COPD, as well as children and older adults — groups that are at higher risk for more severe illness,” Ginde says. “While it’s too early to make any definitive recommendations, many Americans also need more vitamin D for its bone and general health benefits.”

A group of scientists from UCLA published a remarkable paper in the prestigious journal, Nature. The UCLA group confirmed two other recent studies, showing that a naturally occurring steroid hormone – a hormone most of us take for granted – was, in effect, a potent antibiotic. Instead of directly killing bacteria and viruses, the steroid hormone under question increases the body’s production of a remarkable class of proteins, called antimicrobial peptides. The 200 known antimicrobial peptides directly and rapidly destroy the cell walls of bacteria, fungi, and viruses, including the influenza virus, and play a key role in keeping the lungs free of infection. The steroid hormone that showed these remarkable antibiotic properties was plain old vitamin D.

A few years ago, I became convinced that vitamin D was unique in the vitamin world by virtue of three facts. First, it’s the only known precursor of a potent steroid hormone, calcitriol, or activated vitamin D. Most other vitamins are antioxidants or co-factors in enzyme reactions. Activated vitamin D – like all steroid hormones – damasks the genome, turning protein production on and off, as your body requires. That is, vitamin D regulates genetic expression in hundreds of tissues throughout your body. This means it has as many potential mechanisms of action as genes it damasks.

Second, vitamin D does not exist in appreciable quantities in normal human diets. True, you can get several thousand units in a day if you feast on sardines for breakfast, herring for lunch and salmon for dinner. The only people who ever regularly consumed that much fish are peoples, like the Inuit, who live at the extremes of latitude. The milk Americans depend on for their vitamin D contains no naturally occurring vitamin D; instead, the U.S. government requires fortified milk to be supplemented with vitamin D, but only with what we now know to be a paltry 100 units per eight-ounce glass.

The vitamin D steroid hormone system has always had its origins in the skin, not in the mouth. Until quite recently, when dermatologists and governments began warning us about the dangers of sunlight, humans made enormous quantities of vitamin D where humans have always made it, where naked skin meets the ultraviolet B radiation of sunlight. We just cannot get adequate amounts of vitamin D from our diet. If we don’t expose ourselves to ultraviolet light, we must get vitamin D from dietary supplements.

The third way vitamin D is different from other vitamins is the dramatic difference between natural vitamin D nutrition and the modern one. Today, most humans only make about a thousand units of vitamin D a day from sun exposure; many people, such as the elderly or African Americans, make much less than that. How much did humans normally make? A single, twenty-minute, full body exposure to summer sun will trigger the delivery of 20,000 units of vitamin D into the circulation of most people within 48 hours. Twenty thousand units, that’s the single most important fact about vitamin D. Compare that to the 100 units you get from a glass of milk, or the several hundred daily units the U.S. government recommend as “Adequate Intake.” It’s what we call an “order of magnitude” difference.

Our advice – get tested to check vitamin D levels in your body.  Take vitamin D supplements derived from natural sources.  Last and certainly not least, get 20/40 minuits of exposure to sunlight daily.  For more information Click Here about vitamin D supplementation.

Parents talking on the internet forums have expressed some concern about the H1N1 vaccine that will be offered to children and adults with underlying health conditions and pregnant women as priorities.
Fears raised include its safety for pregnant women, whether the vaccine has been tested enough and the fact one of them contains a controversial mercury preservative.

HEALTH officials have warned doctors of possible similarities between the new swine flu vaccine and a jab linked to 25 deaths in America in the 1970s.  The government’s Health Protection Agency (HPA), said in a letter to neurologists that they needed to look out for increases in cases of a brain disorder that might follow the launch of the immunization program.  In 1976, Washington rushed in a mass immunization program against a swine flu outbreak that was confined to a single military base.  Several hundred cases of a rare, lethal, paralyzing neurological disease called Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) were reported afterwards, and although no clear link was ever found to the vaccine, the incident made many people mistrustful of immunizations.

The Department of Health said: “Appropriate trials to assess safety and immune responses have been carried out on vaccines very similar to the swine flu vaccine. The vaccines have been shown to have a good safety profile.”

The World Health Organization has also said recently that the public should be “reassured” about the safety of the new vaccine. It acknowledged that “genuine adverse events directly caused by the vaccine may also occur, but cannot be predicted in advance”.

What’s going on here?  Which side of the isle is right and what are we to do in the face of conflicting opinion?  I wish I had the answer.  What I do know is that according to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius a new swine flu vaccine to be available for distribution by mid-October — fully six to seven weeks after American schoolchildren will have flocked back to the germ pools of their classrooms. Sebelius hasn’t formally approved a nationwide vaccination campaign, which would detail which populations should get priority in the use of still-scarce vaccine. But she’s expected to do so soon.

In the mean time five medical centers across the country will begin testing the H1N1 vaccine tomorrow (Wednesday – Aug.18 2008).  I am shocked and bewildered that Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo. expects to enroll 160 children who, with parental consent, will become human guinea pigs to test this serum.  The study is designed to determine the safety and effectiveness of the vaccine in children 6 months to 17 years old.  Each child will receive two doses of the vaccine against the H1N1 virus.  A second study is to begin next week on another group of children at other medical centers across the country including St. Louis University.

What if I get swine flu?

You can’t know for sure if you have the new H1N1 flu unless you get a test. But rapid flu tests haven’t proven reliable at pinpointing cases of the new disease; only a lab test can confirm whether you have it.
Treatment is similar to that for seasonal flu.  Most people get well by resting, staying hydrated and taking medicines to reduce fever. Stay home and keep your distance from others for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone.

Children under 18 years old shouldn’t be given aspirin due to a risk of Reye’s Syndrome, a rare but potentially life-threatening illness. Don’t give cold medicines to children under four without first talking with a pediatrician.

You should call the doctor if you have trouble breathing, chest or abdominal pain, dizziness, confusion or persistent vomiting, or if your flu symptoms worsen after improving, the CDC says. Call the pediatrician if your child has those symptoms, isn’t drinking enough fluids, or is irritable or sluggish.

Do not Panic!

I have said it before and I will state it again.  Hundreds of millions of people lose their lives to the seasonal flu every year.  I know that every life is very important and I honestly wish that this statistic was not true.  Sadly enough however it is true and in our faces every year.  It is also true that only a small fraction of the world population have been effected by the H1N1 virus and subsequently an even smaller number of people have succumb to it’s effects.

More than two million people are believed to have contracted the new flu in the U.S.; 7,511 had been hospitalized and 477 had died as of Aug. 13, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. World-wide, 177,457 people have been confirmed with the disease, and 1,462 deaths had been reported as of Aug. 12, according to the World Health Organization.

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) pregnant women and people with asthma, diabetes, heart disease and other chronic diseases. About 70% of those hospitalized and about 80% of those who have died in the U.S. had underlying medical conditions, according to the CDC. In a study published in the Lancet, CDC scientists found pregnant women were more than four times as likely to be hospitalized with the new flu than the general population.

It isn’t clear whether obesity itself is a risk factor. Morbidly obese patients have had greater complications, but it may be due to diabetes or other chronic diseases they have, health officials say.

Public health officials initially feared a deadly scourge, after reports of dozens of deaths in Mexico. Instead, “what we are seeing looks very much like seasonal flu so far,” Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said earlier this month. Most people suffer unpleasant but not life-threatening symptoms, such as fever, body aches, sore throat and runny nose. Gastrointestinal problems—vomiting and diarrhea—are normally rare for adults with flu, but have been reported globally in as many as 50% of nonhospitalized patients with the virus.

Many people don’t even develop a fever, though they had other symptoms, says Richard Wenzel, chairman of the department of internal medicine at Virginia Commonwealth University’s Medical College, who observed such cases on trips to Latin America. One academic hospital in Chile told Dr. Wenzel that only half of its outpatients infected with H1N1 swine flu had fever; some had only a runny nose, sometimes with a headache, he says.

One unusual thing: Young people are getting sick, while the elderly, who normally account for 90% of annual deaths from flu, have largely been spared. Most of those who died—generally of viral pneumonia and other complications—have ranged from 25 through 64 years old, according to a CDC analysis. CDC officials say people 60 and older may have some immunity to the new virus from exposure to H1N1 viruses that circulated between 1918 and 1957.

If you do opt to take your chances with the new vaccine be sure to tell your doctor that you want the thimerosal-free vaccine .  For those of you who don’t know, Thimerosal is a mercury-containing organic compound widely used as a preservative in a number of biological and drug products, including many vaccines, to help prevent potentially life threatening contamination with harmful microbes.  Over the past several years, because of an increasing awareness of the theoretical potential for neurotoxicity of even low levels of organomercurials and because of the increased number of thimerosal containing vaccines that had been added to the infant immunization schedule, concerns about the use of thimerosal in vaccines and other products have been raised.

The best cure is prevention

Wash your hands often with soap and water, or use hand sanitizer. Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. The virus spreads through respiratory droplets in a cough or sneeze, and people start spreading the virus a day before they develop symptoms. You can also pick it up by touching something that has flu virus on it, then touching your mouth or nose.   In addition it surely can’t hurt to begin to increase your bodies immune system function.  You can do this quite effectively naturally, without the use of drugs or untested vaccines.

Be safe, be healthy, and may good luck be with you all.

It is believed that there will be 50million doses of the H1N1 vaccines available by the end of August and another 150million available sometime around the end of September. This leaves some 150million Americans “unprotected” against the virus.

The question here? Is this a blessing or a curse?

The bottom line is that this vaccine, which is being produced by 5 American companies, is being prepared for mass injection into infants, children, teens and adults has not been tested. The fact is that it will not be tested before the injections begin. This makes those receiving the injections the test subjects or ginnie pigs. Although this practice is uncommon to the American heal care system it is a normal practice in Europe where The European Medicines Agency is allowing companies to skip the testing process entirely. Even more interesting is that when the National Institutes of Health in the U.S. announced a swine flu vaccine trial beginning in early August, it was inundated with phone calls and emails from people desperate to play the role of human guinea pigs. Truly Amazing!

Especially alarming is that there is no safety data available on the use of adjuvants on infants and pregnant women who are particularly susceptible to the N1H1 virus. An immunological adjuvant is an agent in the serum intended to stimulate the immune system and increase the response to a vaccine. In addition, as it was recently unveiled by the Washington Post, many doses of the new H1N1 vaccine will be stored in multi dose vials which will contain thimerosal (mercury in its most common form used as a preservative). Due to the use of thimerosal in vaccines given to kids during the 1976 swine flu scare, the number of cases of autism has increased by 1500 percent since 1991. This number corresponds to the period of time during which the number of vaccines for kids also increased. While in 1991 there was one kid diagnosed with autism for every 2500, today there are 166 kids diagnosed for the same 2500. These numbers as well as public pressure to stop using mercury in vaccines, has made forced some companies to allegedly reduce the amounts of thimerosal used in their products. This is not the case however in the new batches of the H1N1 vaccine.

I probably don’t need to remind you that in 1976, a failed swine flu vaccine caused irreparable damage to the nervous systems of hundreds of people, paralyzing many. Medical doctors gave the problem a name, of course, to make it sound like they knew what they were talking about: Guillain-Barre syndrome. (Notably, they never called it “Toxic Vaccine Syndrome” because that would be too informative.)

But the fact remains that doctors never knew how the vaccines caused these severe problems, and if the same event played out today, all the doctors and vaccine pushers would undoubtedly deny any link between the vaccines and paralysis altogether.

Conclusion:

There is a great deal that we don’t know about this vaccine in terms of the potential health hazards it may pose to those subjected to it. What we do know however, that the adjuvants have not been tested on infants and pregnant women, that mercury is being used in the serum as a preservative and that it has bee proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that mercury is directly linked to autism.

It is also note worthy that influenza spreads around the world in seasonal epidemics, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands annually — millions in pandemic years. Three influenza pandemics occurred in the 20th century and killed tens of millions of people, with each of these pandemics being caused by the appearance of a new strain of the virus in humans. Often, these new strains appear when an existing flu virus spreads to humans from other animal species, or when an existing human strain picks up new genes from a virus that usually infects birds or pigs. An avian strain named H5N1 raised the concern of a new influenza pandemic, after it emerged in Asia in the 1990s, but it has not evolved to a form that spreads easily between people.

The World Health Organization (WHO) reported yesterday (8/1/09) a total of 183,826 confirmed cases with 1,301 deaths from 167 countries. Two new countries reported to have been infected were Channel Island and Moldova. Please believe me when I say that I am not trying to understate the potential for a major health crisis here nor am I trivializing the single death of any individual.  What I am saying however is that based on statistics alone this H1N1 “Pandemic” is a blip on the radar when compared to the hundreds of thousands of influenza death’s that occur every year, yet it is being touted as some kind of black plague.

We at Heal Products Guru stand by our position that the H1N1 flu vaccine should be avoided at all costs. We also stand strongly in our advocacy of natural immune system optimization. This is my personal opinion and the action I choose to take. You must do what you believe is right for you and your families. I wish you all health and wellbeing in the days to come.

Of the 266 known swine flu deaths in the US 6% of the deaths (15) were pregnant women.  Pregnant women who get infected with the flu are at increased risk of serious illness and hospitalization.  In fact, the second H1N1 flu death in the United States was a pregnant woman. Because of this greater risk, pregnant women are advised to get annual flu vaccinations. On the other hand, pregnant women also are advised to be very cautious when taking any medications—especially the newest ones—because of unknown health risks to the developing fetus. What’s more, many folks remember the 1976 swine flu vaccination fiasco, when some 500 Americans out of the 43 million vaccinated developed a rare paralyzing condition called Guillain-Barré syndrome that may have been linked to the shot.  Just today, public health experts said that there’s no way to know if any rare side effects will occur in the new vaccine until millions of people are vaccinated. Those unknowns would make an expectant mom especially nervous.

Pregnant women have long been known to be at increased risk for adverse effects from seasonal influenza, and health authorities recommend every year that all pregnant women be vaccinated.  The vaccine protects not only the mother but also her baby. A study conducted in Bangladesh and reported in the New England Journal of Medicine last year found that vaccination for seasonal flu reduced flu in infants by 63%.  Even so, only about an estimated 15% receive the shots. The women are thought to be at risk of developing pneumonia — and dying – because of changes to their lungs and immune system that are a normal part of pregnancy, and many physicians fear that the risk is even higher with H1N1. In fact, British and Swiss health authorities have notoriously argued that women should postpone getting pregnant until after the pandemic has passed.

Pregnant women who want to avoid the compound, however, may need to search a bit to find a doctor who stocks thimerosal-free versions of both flu vaccines. Most gynecologists don’t bother because the CDC doesn’t say there’s any need for pregnant women to avoid thimerosal.  John Iskander, the previous head of immunization safety at the CDC, told me last fall that the reason the agency doesn’t recommend thimerosal-free vaccines is because “there’s still not enough women receiving the flu vaccine, and we don’t want to throw up another barrier in the vaccination process.” Most likely, the CDC will recommend that pregnant women get both vaccines this fall, but the agency hasn’t yet finalized its recommendations for at-risk groups (including mothers-to-be).

It is expected that the H1N1 virus will resurface in the spring and many believe it will do so with a vengeance.  Our advice, as always, is for everyone, especially those who are in high risk groups, to be proactive and begin to build up your immune systems now.  With this end in mind we suggest that you visit our site and read the article posted about the product; Zradical by Xymetri Products.

The swine flu will probably return in force earlier than seasonal flu usually begins, federal health officials predicted Friday, saying they expected it to erupt as soon as schools open rather than in October or November.

Dr. Anne Schuchat, of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, on May 6.

The swine flu is still circulating in the United States, especially in summer camps, even though hot weather has arrived and the regular flu season ended months ago, “so we expect challenges when people return to school, when kids are congregating together,” Dr. Anne Schuchat, director of respiratory diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said in a telephone news conference held jointly with vaccine experts from the Food and Drug Administration and the Department of Health and Human Services.

It is still unclear how many doses of a swine flu vaccine will be available by then, and officials have been reluctant to make firm predictions beyond saying that they expect tens of millions, rather than hundreds of millions, and they plan to triage them to people who are the most vulnerable, like pregnant women and people who are the most likely to encounter the flu, like health care workers.

The number of doses available will depend on how fast seed strains grow, how much protection a small dose provides, and whether immune-system boosters called adjuvants are needed and prove to be safe; adjuvants are not used in American flu vaccines now.

Clinical trials testing those questions are expected to take another couple of months, said Dr. Jesse L. Goodman, director of the F.D.A.’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research.

Assuming a swine flu vaccination campaign begins, it will be voluntary, Dr. Schuchat emphasized, but she “strongly encouraged” pregnant women to get both a seasonal flu shot and a swine flu shot when they are available.

The C.D.C. has been closely following the disease in the Southern Hemisphere winter, and it is mimicking the patterns seen in the United States and Mexico in the spring, she said.

Most infections and most serious cases are in children and young adults, and those with underlying conditions, including pregnancy, are the most likely to die. Dr. Schuchat likened the spread’s unpredictability to that of popcorn: one city could see an explosion of cases and overwhelmed hospitals while another saw few.

Her most important message, she added, was that “the virus isn’t gone, and we fully expect there will be challenges in the fall.”
