The biggest non-political story out there today is the H1N1 Swine Flu strain. While Obama and the White House are trying to make it political, the media is just amazing in their coverage and propaganda!
Every flu season, flu-shots and flu "pandemic" are front and center in our lives. I fully believe that the flu is something we must all be aware of and protect ourselves against. BUT... NOT exclusively by the pharma companies and those flu shots they push every year.
Some Thoughts:
- A recent survey showed over 60% of Americans use non-pharma, over-the-counter or natural treatments for the flu.
- You must allow your immune system to work on its own to increase your natural resistance to various bugs out there. If you rely solely on medicine to treat, your system will not be able to fend off the bugs you encounter every day.
- This H1N1 strain has been reported to pretty mild and not that big a threat if you just take good care of yourself and keep your hands washed and follow good practices.
- There have even been studies of ONIONS absorbing flu virus and helping to reduce your flu symptoms!
- Some of these shots being pushed contain things that can seriously hurt you
- The government has been all over this flu thing and they are still short on enough shots to go around. (Makes you wonder how well Health Care Reform will work out)
So come on people, take care of your self and stop relying on medical drugs to solve your everyday aches and pains. Your body is designed to help you through these illnesses if you keep it running well. Many people are able to use natural healing methods to allow their own body to keep them healthy.
I am not saying there is NO place for drugs and medical treatments, but I am saying that we too often rely on those treatments as crutches when we don't need them!
By the way... Myself and my daughter have contracted the flu in the last month... It sucked, to be sure, but with some good old fashioned remedies and some healthy alternatives to DRUGS, we have weathered the flu, and are stronger for it!
Research the alternatives, research the facts and make informed decisions.
