SWINE FLU PREPAREDNESS

 

In preparation for the upcoming flu season healthcare authorities encourage the administration of the swine flu vaccine. A mass vaccination is planned for children, pregnant women and many other individuals at risk for the next month. Unfortunately the right message is not delivered and the community is mislead into believing that more “shots” are the solution to common and not so lethal viral strains of influenza. A recent study from the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota demonstrated that children who received the vaccine had three times the risk of hospitalization for flu-related problems compared to the unvaccinated children.

Nutritional supplementation is the key to maintain optimal immune function. Increasing the body’s ability to overcome the flu and/or preventing from getting sick from the virus are both a vital and critical approach.   The use of Vitamin D, Zinc, Vitamin C, omega-3, immune enhancers and probiotics are essential to increase the ability of the immune system in getting rid of infectious agents.  Also, providing a balanced unprocessed nutrition, eliminating environmental toxins and hormonal balance will help tremendously in optimizing the immune system function and help fight viruses this flu-season.

My advice is not to get the swine flu vaccine or the seasonal flu vaccine either.  Please find attached a good article for your review.
