Swine Flu is Bad News - Build Up Your Immune System

Pandemic H1N1 influenza caused a 15-fold increase in admissions to intensive care units for lung problems is Australia and New Zealand during the winter flu season, researchers reported today in the New England Journal of Medicine, offering a foretaste of what might be expected in the United States this winter. In a separate study in the same journal, U.S. researchers reported that a quarter of Americans who were hospitalized with influenza symptoms last spring ended up in the intensive care ward and that 7% of them died. Both groups of researchers concluded that swine flu was slightly more dangerous than seasonal flu. The biggest difference is that seasonal flu is most serious in the elderly, while about half of those hospitalized with swine flu were children and teenagers.

The Australian and New Zealand team studied all intensive care units in the two countries during the winter and found that 722 patients were admitted with laboratory-confirmed swine flu. Of those, 669 were under the age of 65 and 66 were pregnant women. The admissions filled all available beds in some units and forced doctors to postpone some elective surgeries. More than 16% of patients admitted to the units died, a total of 103. As has previously been observed, those at the greatest risk for severe complications were infants under the age of 1, adults ages 26 to 64, pregnant women, the obese and indigenous people.

The U.S. team, headquartered at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, studied 272 patients admitted to hospitals with laboratory-confirmed swine flu from April through mid-June. They accounted for about a quarter of all flu-related hospital admissions during the period. Forty-five of them were under the age of 5, and only 5% were older than 65 -- a sharp contrast to the normal populaton distribution with seasonal flu. Among the 272 patients who were the first hospitalized in each state, nearly three-quarters had an underlying medical condition, such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease and neurological problems. Two hundred of the patients received antiviral drugs, which seemed to help, even though they were typically administered beginning two days after the onset of illness.

Perhaps the best fight against such diseases is beefing up your immune system. How do you do this? Become Proactive with your health (http://skinnytown.isagenix.com). Take excellent supplements and nutrition. If you've never experienced a cleanse try doing a nine day cleanse, you will be amazed at how much better you feel. This basically rids your system of years and years of accumulated garbage and toxicity to your cells and lets your cells function in an optimal way again. Furthermore it is impossible to get all the nutrition you need from food as our foods have become so depleted.

So, if you are thinking about organizing a swine flu party to catch the virus before it can potentially mutate into a form that is more lethal, you might want to reconsider. The current form of the virus is already bad enough.

Solution for an Economic Mess

I have a solution to the financial quagmire facing retailers and financial institutuions. Let the Jewish owners of these credit card companies practice what their law has taught for thousands of years. Have they forgotten?

Every 7 years the creditors forgave the debtors which had the effect of flushing out the system and getting it moving again. Maybe the current financial gurues should pay more attention to this old wisdom as God is a pretty wise guy, lest they forget.

I believe the same wisdom applies to our bodies. Don't you think every once in a while it would be a good idea to flush out the system?

Swine Flu Pandemic

Some things to remember:
No vaccine is available at the start of a pandemic. A vaccine can only be produced once a new virus exists and people have been exposed. The production of a vaccine takes between 6-9 months. During this time the strain has the tendency to grow more powerful and more dangerous (every single pandemic in the past had a mild wave in the beginning, and then a powerful, deadly wave 4-12 months later). Pandemics of the past were more deadly because of lack of education, lack of of surveillance and lack of technology. We are extremely lucky that we now live in a time where we can alert people quickly, and get proper treatment and vaccines ready to battle the disease.

If history is any indicator, the 2nd wave that is yet to come will be more deadly and more dangerous.....

I for one am glad agencies are being pro-active and determining this a level 6 pandemic. It will increase the urgency to get vaccines ready and will help us be better prepared when the second wave hits.

Key Points on Swine Flu

Situation Update:
o Swine influenza is a respiratory disease normally found in pigs and caused by type A
influenza viruses. While outbreaks of this type of influenza are most common in pigs,
human cases of swine influenza do happen mostly by person-to-person transmission
through coughing or sneezing by people infected with the virus.
o People can also become infected by touching something with the influenza virus on it and
then touching their mouth or nose or eye.
o If you get sick have the common courtesy and sense to stay home from school, work, church, etc.
o Avoid crowded air tight places with poor circulation.
