The Truth About the Flu & Vaccinations

Why this Report:We have put this FREE report together to spread the word about the flu & vaccinations and bring the best health to the world. We encourage you to read the info carefully and do your own research. We hope this will lead you down a path that will allow you to make an INFORMED decision regarding the subject of vaccinations. What is behind this whole Swine Flu thing Why (the hidden agenda) How to prevent Swine Flu Help you answer the question if to be vaccinated or not How to cure it if you get it The secrets of building a healthy immune system

What is the flu?Influenza (or flu) is a respiratory infection caused by any number of viruses. Flu season happens during bad weather when people stay indoors and therefore don’t get fresh air, exercise, or sunshine with its accompanying vitamin D production. In other words, we create a personal environment conducive for viral invasion.More than 200,000 people are hospitalized each year from the seasonal flu and according to the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) 36,000 people die a year in the United States alone. Unfortunately the CDC distort the facts about flu deaths and if you search a little harder, you can find the actual number of people died from the flu in 2005 (this is the most recent data available) was 1,806. The remainder was caused by pneumonia. The statistics the CDC gives are skewed partly because they classify those dying from pneumonia as dying from the flu, which is inaccurate. If you have a weak immune system and you catch the flu you stand a good chance of getting pneumonia. Other complications can include ear- or sinus infections, dehydration, and worsening of chronic health conditions. The elderly and people with other pre-existing medical conditions such as asthma, diabetes, or heart disease, are at higher risk of developing pneumonia after a having the flu.So what is Swine Flu then?Influenza virus infects both humans and animals. The two main animal viruses are the Bird Flu, which affects birds, and the Swine Flu that is a respiratory viral disease of pigs.Occasionally humans get both of these viruses, but usually only a very few people get infected and usually these people have had direct contact with the sick animals. It is not normal, and very difficult, for these animal viruses to spread from human-to-human.When they do, as it is suspected now, it can be dangerous. In the past when this happens, and an animal virus starts spreading from human-to-human (and does this easily), it usually also dies out quickly. But, on rare occasions, it can cause a pandemic, which is a widespread, worldwide epidemic, making millions sick and killing millions more. Notably, this happened in the 1890′s with the Russian Flu, the most famous being the Spanish Flu of 1918 that killed about 100 million people on the planet (killing more people than the Black Death of Europe in the 1300′s), and the Hong Kong Flu of 1957 that almost killed me.This current Swine Influenza outbreak may actually not even be a Swine Flu virus at all. It is suspected that it may be caused by a new strain of Influenza type A, subtype H1N1, and also a blend of an avian (Bird Flu) and possibly a few strains of Swine Influenza Virus all mixed together in a dangerous and potentially lethal new viral cocktail. But, identifying viruses, especially rapidly, is not an exact science.Should I get Vaccinated?The conventional treatment for bacterial pneumonia is an antibiotic, not a viral flu drug, so to think that taking a flu vaccine will prevent death from pneumonia doesn’t really make sense.”But the vaccine will prevent the flu, which will prevent the possibility of developing pneumonia,” some might say.That sounds good in theory, but the statistics simply do not support this assertion.Because study after study, and master studies that compile the results from several studies to get a more objective result, keep coming to the same conclusion: Flu vaccines DO NOT WORK, and in many cases do more harm than good.In fact, one shocking statistic brought to light is that BEFORE the CDC advocated vaccinating children under the age of five, the number of children dying from the flu was very low, and on the decline.Then, in 2003, just after children aged five and under started getting vaccinated, the number of flu deaths SKYROCKETED. The death toll was enormous compared to the previous year, when the flu vaccine was not administered en masse to that age group!The potential dangers of Swine Flu vaccine can be seen with experience in the United States after the mass vaccination programme in 1976. This was justified by the death of a single person, an Army recruit at Fort Dix in New Jersey. A panic was then generated on the basis that he had died from swine flu strain allegedly similar to that which killed ten of millions in 1918 (another vaccine-created disaster).It was later established that the recruit died because ‘normal’ flu had turned to pneumonia and this was compounded by dehydration and heavy physical work. He collapsed on a morning run. The CDC admitted that not a single case of Swine Flu was confirmed.Mass vaccinations for Swine Flu followed the death of the Army recruit and led to hundreds of people developing Guillain-Barre sysndrome, an autoimmune disorder affecting the nervous system that triggers paralysis in legs, upper limbs and face, and an inability to breathe. At least 25 died and, longer term, the figure would have been higher.The drug companies and the World Health Organization (WHO) are telling us that the Swine Flu vaccine is safe when it has been revealed that 600 senior neurologists in the UK were sent a confidential letter by government health officials warning of a coming increase in Guillaine-Barre syndrome as a result of the Swine Flu vaccinations.The letter came from the Health protection Agency, the official body that oversees public health, and warned neurologists ‘to be alert for an increase in a brain disorder called Guillaine-Barre Sysndrome (GBS), which could be triggered by the…vaccine’. A senior neurologist quoted by the London Daily Mail said: “I would not have the Swine Flu jab because of the GBS risk’.

swine flu question by rocky2flash: If someone has swine flu and has been in a vehicle, can it be passed on to others?
We tow cars. If a customer has swine flu, and we get in their car to tow it, can we get swine flu? Do the germs dissipate after a certain amount of time? If they sneeze and get snot on the wheel, will the germs be gone when the snot dries.

Until today, Mexico has recorded 1614 people infected with swine flu and 149 of them died. This disease is actually much like ordinary flu symptoms in humans. Several of the signs must now be an important concern.

Swine Influenza is one of the epidemics in North America, New Zealand, Canada, Spain, France, Israel, Japan, and Korea, now an outbreak of swine flu started to reach into Australia. Five people in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, have been checked to check out if they develop influenza swine, as well as the result is positive swine flu.

In accordance with Kerry Chant, Head of the NSW Health Department told reporters in Sydney, they are able to immediately isolate these patients if convicted of contracting the H1N1 virus. Units of public health has concentrated on People in australia who have visited the usa, Canada and Mexico within seven days later and those who seem to have been stricken with flu-like illness.

The signs of SWINE FLUBased on research centers in the USA, swine flu is a specific disease that comes from the H1N1 virus. H1N1 virus is influenza virus type A, which usually attacks the respiratory tract in pigs and is the kind, which is similar to bird flu (Avian Influenza) virus (H5N1). The virus has mutated to the flu virus derivatives that could infect humans. It is said, is usually transmitted between humans by animals, humans to humans, and the medium might be through the air. Even now, the flu is expressed just like a lethal disease. H1N1 virus is known to breed only in countries with 4 seasons. Usually, within the winter. However, public vigilance remains necessary. We need to not to be considered trivial if it is being attacked by influenza. Advised to right away check on the nearest doctor. Because some symptoms of flu are very just like ordinary flu symptoms.

Now the virus has mutated right into a flu virus derivatives, which may infect humans. It is certainly said, could be transmitted between humans by animals, humans to humans, and also the medium is often from the air. So far, the swine flu is used as a lethal disease.

H1N1 virus is known to reproduce only in countries with 4 seasons. Usually, within the winter. However, public vigilance remains necessary. We should not be considered trivial if at all being attacked by influenza. Advised to immediately checked into the nearest doctor, because some swine flu symptoms identical ordinary flu symptoms.

What Is the Difference Between Swine Flu and Regular Flu? Is One More Dangerous Than the Other?

What is the Difference Between Swine Flu and Regular Flu? Is One More Dangerous than the Other?

Article by Terry Fallon

What is the difference between swine flu and regular flu? Each year fall and winter brings cold and flu season. Seasonal flu strains (which we shall refer to as “regular flu”) are widespread and varied. They appear all around the world and generally cause temporary discomfort.

Regular flu doesn’t pose a long term health problem for the average person. The exceptions are the elderly and others with weakened immune systems. Most deaths attributed to regular flu occur within this demographic.

One of the big differences has to do with immunity. We are all exposed year to year to the various strains of regular flu. The H1N1 strain, or the swine flu, is different. It is an entirely new strain that, prior to the spring of this year, no one has ever been exposed to. Therefore no one is automatically immune.

Most flu strains are human in origin. But there are also those that originate in animals. Birds breed a flu strain (H5N1), and so do pigs (H1N1). While these normally do not affect humans, every once in a while something happens to cause them to cross over and infect people.

In April of 2009, a person in Mexico was diagnosed with a new strain of H1N1, or swine flu. Its origin was traced to a pig farm near Vera Cruz.

The CDC feels this H1N1 virus poses the greatest disease burden for people younger than 25 years of age. Fewer cases (and fewer deaths) have been reported in people age 60 and older, perhaps due to their exposure to a similar influenza A in the 1960s. Whatever the reason — this is a big difference when recognizing what the differences are between swine flu and regular flu.

Will regular flu vaccine protect against swine flu? No. The swine flu vaccine is entirely separate. It appears that it will not be available until sometime in October, 2009. Initial supplies will likely be rationed because manufacturers are not able to provide a large enough supply to inoculate everyone at the beginning of flu season.

If you find yourself with a runny nose and fever, or if you develop chills with aches & pains, or develop a sore throat with coughing and sneezing, chances are you have the flu. The question is – which flu?

Since the early symptoms are the same, your doctor will have to make the diagnosis. This is done by a lab test using a simple swab.

In regular flu, the symptoms generally last a couple of days. In cases of swine flu, however, the symptoms may last seven days or longer, and become more severe and complicated. Health professionals become most concerned when the symptoms severely hit the respiratory system.

If you develop any kind of breathing problems, seek immediate help from your doctor and follow his or her advice.

Health officials are concerned that the swine flu will reappear in greater force this fall and winter. It has the potential to be deadly, and it could interrupt public transportation and commerce. As we have discussed, even young, healthy people need to stay alert.

Everyone should be vigilant, because there are deadly differences between swine flu and regular flu.

What is the difference between the regular flu and the swine flu? And if someone has the swine , how long does it take to recover from it , esp if there are no vaccines available ? What should one do in that case? I have consulted a doctor and even he does not know what i should do, he himself said he had the swine already and has not fully recovered and i have had it now for three weeks . I have congestion so badly that sometimes i simply can not breathe properly.

MEXICO WORRIED AS REPORTS OF SWINE FLU RISE.

MEXICO CITY – A new kind of virus called swine flu has this metropolis of 20 million people increasingly fearful as suspected flu deaths grow very quickly, and world health officials warn that Mexico City could be at the epicenter of a global epidemic.Everything from concerts/sports matches/events and church services were canceled Sunday to keep people from congregating and spreading the virus in large crowds.

President Felipe Calderon assumed new powers to isolate people infected with a deadly and fearsome swine flu strain that Mexico’s health minister says has killed up to 81 people already and likely sickened 1,324 since April 13 2009.

Mexican soldiers and health workers patrolled and investigated airports and bus stations, looking for people showing symptoms of this deadly virus, which include a fever of more than 100 degrees, body aches, coughing, a sore throat, respiratory congestion and, in some cases, vomiting and if that wasn’t enough also diarrhea.

Markets and restaurants were nearly empty and closed due to the outbreak. And throngs of Mexicans

Swine Flu

Facts about Swine Flu

Article by Jocelyn Jones

What is swine influenza?

Swine influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by a type A influenza virus that regularly causes outbreaks of influenza in pigs.

How many swine flu viruses are there?

Like all influenza viruses, swine flu viruses change constantly. Pigs can be infected by avian influenza and human influenza viruses as well as swine influenza viruses.

Swine Flu in Humans

Can humans catch swine flu?

Swine flu viruses normally do not infect humans. However, sporadic human infections with swine flu have occurred. Most commonly, these cases occur in persons with direct exposure to pigs (ie. children near pigs at a fair or workers in the swine industry).

What are the symptoms of swine flu in humans?

The symptoms of swine flu in people are expected to be similar to the symptoms of regular human seasonal influenza and include: fever, lethargy, lack of appetite and coughing. Some people with swine flu also have reported runny nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.

Can people catch swine flu from eating pork?

No. Swine influenza viruses are not transmitted by food. You can not get swine influenza from eating pork or pork products.

How does swine flu spread?

Influenza viruses can be directly transmitted from pigs to people and from people to pigs. Human infection with flu viruses from pigs are most likely to occur when people are in close proximity to infected pigs, such as in pig barns and livestock exhibits housing pigs at fairs. Human-to-human transmission of swine flu can also occur. This is thought to occur the same way as seasonal flu occurs in people, which is mainly person-to-person transmission through coughing or sneezing of people infected with the influenza virus. People may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose.

How can human infections with swine influenza be diagnosed?

To diagnose swine influenza A infection, a respiratory specimen would generally need to be collected within the first four to five days of illness (when an infected person is most likely to be shedding virus).

Is there a vaccine for swine flu?

Vaccines are available to be given to pigs to prevent swine influenza. There is no vaccine to protect humans from swine flu. The seasonal influenza vaccine will help provide partial protection against swine H3N2, but not swine H1N1 viruses.

How can you best protect yourself?

Follow best practices for universal precautions-Wash your hands frequently. If soap and water are not available, hand sanitizers can be used as a substitute. Cover your coughs and sneezes with a tissue or cough into the inner side of your elbow.
