How to protect yourself from swine flu virus



Should You Accept a Flu Vaccine -- Just to be Safe?
.
Getting vaccinated now would not only offer no protection and potentially cause great harm, it would most likely be loaded with toxic mercury which is used as a preservative in most flu vaccines..
.
So no matter what you hear -- even if it comes from your doctor -- think twice before getting a regular flu shot.
.
They rarely work against seasonal flu...and certainly can't offer protection against a never-before- seen strain.
.
So how to protect yourself without dangerous drugs and vaccinations then?
.
There are always going to be threats of flu pandemics, real or created, and there will always be potentially toxic vaccines that are peddled as the solution.
.
But you can break free of that whole drug-solution trap by following some natural health principles.
.
Keep your immune system in optimal working order so that you're far less likely to acquire the infection to begin with.
.
Optimize your vitamin D levels. optimizing your vitamin D levels is one of the absolute best strategies for avoiding infections of all kinds, and vitamin D deficiency is likely the true culprit behind the seasonality of the flu -- not the flu virus itself.
.
This is probably the single most important and least expensive action you can take.
.
If you are coming down with flu like symptoms and have not been on vitamin D you can take doses of 50,000 units a day for three days to treat the acute infection.
.
Some researchers believe the dose could even be as high as 1000 units per pound of body weight for three days.
.
Avoid sugar and processed foods.
.
Sugar decreases the function of your immune system almost immediately, and as you probably know, a strong immune system is key to fighting off viruses and other illness.
.
Be aware that sugar is present in foods you may not suspect, like ketchup and fruit juice.
.
Get enough rest. because if your body is overly fatigued it will be harder for it to fight the flu.
.
We all face some stress everyday, but if stress becomes overwhelming then your body will be less able to fight off the flu and other illness.
.
When you exercise, you increase your circulation and your blood flow throughout your body.
.
The components of your immune system are also better circulated, which means your immune system has a better chance of finding an illness before it spreads.
.
Take a good source of animal based omega-3 fats like Krill Oil.
.
It is also important to avoid damaged omega-6 oils that are trans fats found in processed foods
.
Wash Your Hands.
.
Washing your hands will decrease your likelihood of spreading a virus to your nose, mouth or other people.
.
Be sure you don't use antibacterial soap for this as they are completely unnecessary, and they cause far more harm than good.
.
Instead, identify a simple chemical-free soap
.
Provided you do not have problems with your liver or pancreas eat garlic regularly as garlic works like a broad-spectrum antibiotic against bacteria, virus, and protozoa in the body.
.
Unlike antibiotics, no resistance can be built up so it is an absolutely safe product to use, but if you do no like garlic then leave it alone!
.
Avoid hospitals and vaccines
.
In this particular case, stay away from hospitals unless you're having an emergency, as hospitals are prime breeding grounds for infections of all kinds, and could be one of the likeliest places you could be exposed to this new bug.
.
Having a positive outlook helps keep fear at bay
.
And this has to be helpful
.
Love life and help others because you want to
.
This last one might seem a bit obscure but think why do some go down with diseases and others not?
.
No it is not just luck!
