Labor Day is now behind us and a beautiful fall is upon us.  This is my personal favorite time of the year.  The weather is a bit chilly, those sweaters and sweatshirts feel pretty good, and it’s the time of year when you can snuggle under blankets with a good book or lounge beside a nice fire.   Oh yes, I forgot, the kids are back in school too!  Schedules are in order again and the academic year begins as we start the final months of 2009.  The fall of 2008 was highlighted with the Presidential election, what will highlight this fall? 

I hope we aren’t going into another health crisis like what happened in 1921, the beginning of the roaring twenties.  Now I know I wasn’t alive then nor were most of you, but we can learn from history and I see and hear some of the same things happening.  The aftermath of last year’s election brings us to “reformed” health care.  And on the wings of this “reform” is the pandemic of the swine flu (it was small pox in 1921).  I wasn’t planning on mentioning this subject again, but the nightmare keeps going on and on.  You know how you wake up and realize it was just a dream, but when you get back to sleep the story continues and gets scarier?  That’s how I see our current situation but it isn’t a dream, it is real.  I have heard more people coming into my wellness center upset about this swine flu than any other one issue since I’ve been open.  Some are afraid they might get the flu and even more are afraid vaccinations will be made mandatory and they really won’t have a choice.

I’m not here to tell you what to think, but rather point you to information that can help you decide what is best for you and your family.  Money still makes the world go around, and the big pharmaceutical companies are major players and we are the balls that get kicked.  This fact became even more real when I recently met a young lady who is now wheel chair bound from the effects of getting the Gardasil vaccine.  She is like the commercials tell us about being “one less”, except she is one less that is able to run around, play an instrument, kick a ball or even stand.  She‘s also one less that will be able to dance at her own wedding.  She and her family have spent so much time and money on her care and you can’t imagine the pain she is constantly in.  All this happened to a perfectly healthy young lady until she was given the vaccine.  Now we are looking at millions getting another new vaccine, the swine flu vaccine , and the manufacturers are not even liable for any side effects that might occur from its use.  That alone should put up red flags for us.

I want to encourage each of you to do some research, don’t just listen to what anyone who makes money from the vaccine tells you.  Follow the money trail and you will be enlightened.  I have heard people are even being offered money to get the first trial vaccines in our local town.   This is going on and yet new studies continue coming out that question the safety of the vaccine and its side effects which can be much worse than the flu itself.  Just last week, a German health expert gave a shocking warning about its safety:  “Lung specialist Wolfgang Wodarg has said that there are many risks associated with the vaccine for the H1N1 virus. The nutrient solution for the vaccine consists of cancerous cells from animals, and some fear that the risk of cancer could be increased by injecting the cells.”  (Dr. Wolfgang Wodarg is a politician and a specialist in lungs, hygiene and environmental medicine. He is the chairman of the health committee in the German parliament and European Council.   http://www.bild.de/BILD/news/bild-english/world-news/2009/08/07/swine-flu-health-expert-warning/does-virus-vaccine-increase-risk-of-cancer.html)  Here are a couple of other trustworthy websites to give you vital information that you probably won’t hear on the news tonight.  http://blogs.healthfreedomalliance.org/blog/2009/08/24/vaccine-induced-disease/

The other part we don’t hear much about is that the swine flu is much less severe than the usual seasonal flu.  I also know a young man who had been diagnosed and he was well before the reports even came in that he had the H1N1 virus.  So what’s the big deal?  People are more affected by the seasonal flu than the swine flu.  Well, you can’t sell vaccines if there’s no scare of that disease. 

The other part of this whole deal is using common sense like your mother taught you about basic cleanliness.  Harsh chemicals are not needed to kill this virus, just plain soap and water which won’t kill the beneficial bacteria on your skin that protects you from the virus like the potent cleansers being widely used!  The other part is eating more raw foods to feed your body with less processed junk.  But the most important part is supporting the immune system that was created to keep you healthy.  This can be done with a few simple steps:

1.        Get plenty of sleep

2.       Eat more fresh leafy green vegetables and fruit

3.       Supplements supporting the Immune system

a.       Vitamin D-3

b.      Whole food vitamin C

c.       Calcium Lactate

d.      Immuplex

4.       Drink ½ your body weight in ounces of pure water daily

5.       Keep your bowels moving!

So as we continue on through the end of 2009, let’s not make the same mistake as people did in 1921.  The previous Health Freedom Alliance link will tell you that story much better than I have room here to tell you.  Blessings and health to you and your family for the rest of 2009!
