Is There a Swine Flu Pandemic?

Yes and no is the answer, the confusion is real.

On the yes side

It is out there

On the no side  

Most viral threats do not materialize, and sometimes they are not going to become the next plague.

The Prudent Course of Action

Start taking care of your health. Get enough rest, and eat well. Your immune system is your first line of defense. As we see it, the issue is all about boosting your health.

Heightening Immune Surveillance is the Key.

The best defense is an offense. Start with a plan of action. One of the best weapons is to see that you get enough vitamins from whole foods. Vitamin D provides one of the best supports for your immune system.

Vitamin C is in the forefront when it comes to helping bodies stay well.

Garlic and more garlic may keep your neighbors away, and will cut down on social contacts. The truth is less socializing is a plus in flu season. Better than ruining your social life it keeps germs away.

Supper foods are at the farmers market. Beet Root, ginger root, kale, spinach, oranges, lemons, and many more super nutritional plants are for sale at these places. These are concentrated sources of phytochemicals. Eat hot peppers they stimulate circulation and help cleanse your body of toxins.

One important preventative measure that is making front page news is keeping your hands clean.  However, that may be true, but they tell you the wrong way to do that. Is keeping your hands clean the panacea? The constant use of antibacterial agents dries your skin. It can cause  small cracks on the skins surface that let bacteria in.

Natural moisturizer is your first line of defense, which means foods that feed the collagen, and enough good liquids.

Manuka Honey from New Zealand has been proven to eradicate MRSA Staph infections that are antibiotic resistant, and is antiviral.  It has been used to treat cold and flu symptoms. Internally and externally it offers protection.  It can be used on your hands.

Avoid Poor Nutrition

Avoid processed food, sugar, and alcohol. These rob you of nutrients. What is real is that you have choices beyond washing your hands every minute, and wearing a face mask that is not going to protect you.

The choices take a little more work than the ones the mainstream media has listed. However, these change your life for the better.
