We continue to be inundated with information about the flu season and the H1N1 swine flu virus.  We all ask ourselves the question, should I get the H1N1 flu shot?  Is this virus more dangerous than the seasonal flu?  Who are the people at risk and even dying from the disease? What is in the inoculation? These are very important questions to ask yourself.  You need to provide the answers given here to your customers visiting your business internet money online opportunity web site.

Here are three questions and answers to consider before being vaccinated or panicking about the H1N1 swine flu.

1.  Is the H1N1 swine flu a strong virus and worse than the seasonal flu?  No.  In the vast majority of cases, both viruses are mild enough where the people are able to recover without hospitalization or medication.  Both the seasonal and swine flu produce identical symptoms.  This includes a fever exceeding 100 degrees, coughing, runny nose and/or sore throat, joint aches, headaches, vomiting and/or diarrhea, lethargy and lack of appetite.  You need to be aware that we all get sick and in this flu season be sure and provide the truth to you customers at your website for your business internet money online opportunity.

2.  Is it true only those people with severely compromised immune systems are dying or are susceptible to serious harm from either the seasonal flu or the swine flu?  The answer to this question is obvious.  The flu does not kill those in good health, it kills those whose immune systems have lost their ability to protect.  Those children who have died from H1N1 are those with a pre-existing disease.  It has been shown that Vitamin D is a main protector against the flu and many diseases.  Children or people with a Vitamin D deficiency are at risk.  The CDC reports that 36,000 people die annually from the flu but this statistic does not tell you that nearly 34,000 of these cases also had pneumonia caused from other complications and actually die from that.  Thus the actual figures are that out of hundreds of millions of people only about 1,800 actually die from the flu and we are not sure if they die from the seasonal or H1N1.  Again, report the facts on your business internet money online opportunity web site.

3. Are the ingredients in the swine flu inoculation dangerous?   Here is a list of some of the ingredients so you can decide.

- Squalene – an adjuvant, causes severe immune responses and is linked to auto-immune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, lupus, ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) and Gulf War Syndrome

- Thimerosal – mercury, linked to neurological disorders such as autism, the 25mcg within 1 vaccine is 250 times greater than the EPA’s level that is considered safe.  We are told not to eat more than 1 serving of fish per week due to mercury yet injecting a large amount into the blood stream is supposedly healthy?

- Aluminum — a neurotoxin linked to Alzheimer’s disease

- Triton X-100 — a detergent

- Phenol (carbolic acid)

- Ethylene glycol (antifreeze)

- Betapropiolactone – a disinfectant

- Nonoxynol – used to kill or stop growth of STDs

- Octoxinol 9 – a spermicide

- Sodium phosphate

So will you put yourself and family at risk by taking the H1N1 swine flu shot and possibly even get the flu as has been the case in Canada or stay healthy and take precautions to avoid getting it?  This is your decision but in either case be sure and tell the facts to your customers at your business internet money online opportunity web site.

Daily we hear about the flu season and the H1N1 swine flu virus.  We all ask ourselves the question, should I get the H1N1 flu shot?  If I am harmed by the vaccine, what legal recourse do I have?  What safety tests have been conducted on the vaccine?  These are very important questions to ask yourself.  You need to provide the answers given here to your customers visiting your business internet money online opportunity web site.

Here are 4 questions and answers to consider before being vaccinated or panicking about the H1N1 swine flu.

1.  If you are harmed by the vaccine do you have any legal recourse in the event of an adverse reaction?  In 2001 a law was passed granting those who develop and recommend vaccines during a “health emergency” immunity from any legal prosecution.   This law granted the pharmaceutical companies a free pass since without the potential to lose billions of dollars in lawsuits they have far less motivation to spend millions testing the H1N1 vaccine.

2.  What safety tests have been completed on the H1N1 vaccine before it will be administered?  Though the safety of vaccines in general can be questioned, it usually takes immunologists 18 months to create and test a vaccine, the H1N1 vaccine was developed for distribution in less than 5 months.  Testing thus far has included only 6,000 people.  Of these, not all have even received the same vaccine with the same ingredients.  Also, because testing is done on volunteers there is no way to accurately test the effect of the vaccine on certain age groups such as pregnant mothers, the elderly and those at higher risk.  One manufacturer of the H1N1 vaccine admitted to the Associated Press that the vaccine will be available to the public before trial testing is even completed.

3.  Which is the higher risk, taking the vaccine or getting the swine flu?  Except in those with a severely compromised immune system, the swine flu would likely result in no more than regular flu symptoms and a possible 1 or 2 days missed from work or school.   The effect of an adverse reaction to the vaccine can be very severe and possibly fatal. One type reaction is getting Guillian Barre Syndrome, a neurological disease that causes partial paralysis and is associated with many vaccines including the flu vaccine.  It was the most common form of injury from the swine flu vaccine administered in the 70’s.  Before any medicine or vaccine is taken one should weigh the risks versus the benefits.

4.  What can you do to protect yourself against the H1N1 flu and seasonal flu naturally?  You can answer this question yourself by reading the following facts.  Germs on their own do not make you sick, lowered body defenses do.  Keep your body strong physically, nutritionally and mentally and observe good hygiene and you will have protection against the swine flu.  Vitamin D is a powerful defender against viruses.  Your body derives Vitamin D from sunlight and thus as it gets colder and we get less and less our defenses against viruses can decrease – thus why we have a “flu season.”  Increasing your Vitamin D levels and/or using other different natural supplements can protect you naturally, without risk and more effectively than the vaccine.  Maintain a healthy nervous system.

So will you put yourself and family at risk by taking the H1N1 swine flu shot and possibly even get the flu as has been the case in Canada or stay healthy and take precautions to avoid getting it?  This is your decision but in either case be sure and tell the facts to your customers at your business internet money online opportunity web site.

The 2009 Flu Season has arrived with a lot of questions about how best to deal with the H1N1 or Swine Flu Virus. Here are accurate and up to the minute answers to 10 questions that will help you make the best decisions for you and your family.

1. Does the Shot cover the H1N1 Virus? No it does not. There is a vaccine for the swine flu in production as this is being written, but it is not available to the general public as yet. Initially, the swine flu vaccines will go to military personnel, emergency medical personnel as well as health departments, and health care officials. Most pharmacies are estimating that the earliest it would become available to the general public is November of 2009.

2. Should you take the swine flu vaccine if you have already taken the regular flu shot or mist? Yes both vaccines are recommended. You can choose to take them both on the same day at the same time. Or you need to wait several weeks if you have to take them separately.

3. Does a physician’s office have to give the shot to small children? No, there are pharmacies within drug stores who will vaccinate children as young as 2 years of age. Expect guideline for local pharmacies to differ, so call before you go to make sure that can do what you need.

4. Is the flu shot better than the flu mist? Yes, health care professionals agree that both are good for the duration of one flu season. Given that the worse months for flu are December, January and February both should provide protection through those months.

However, if the flu season extends later than usual into March and April, it is thought that those who have received the Flu Mist will have greater coverage. In other words the flu shot tends to show a diminished capacity after 4 months, and the flu mist tends to last 5 to 6 months.

5. What is the difference between the shot and the mist? The injection does contain viruses but they are dead. The mist is given by spraying the vaccine up each nostril, and contains live but weakened viruses.

6. Who should avoid the mist? People older than 50, those who have asthma or who use an inhaler for wheezing are not good candidates for the mist.

7. How long does it take for the vaccine to become effective? It takes several weeks for the body to react by making antibodies which then help protect it from getting the flu at all or at least lessen the seriousness of the case.

8. Will I get a case of the flu after being vaccinated? The answer is no for the both injection and the mist. Even though the mist contains live viruses, they are not potent enough to cause a case of the flu.

9. When is the best time to be vaccinated? As soon as the vaccine is available is the best time to receive it. Because it takes several weeks for the vaccine to offer protection, the sooner you receive the shot the sooner you’re covered. Getting it early means you avoid having supplies run low and having to wait until more is available.

10. Where can I get the most up to date information on the flu? Your physician and local media are good resources. Also, The Center for Disease Control (CDC) provides up to the minute information with a website and an 800 number.
