The flu trend over the past five years is getting worse, in spite of flu vaccinations. Your doctor tells you to get a flu shot that is only 15 to 35% effective in protecting you from the flu virus! Communicable Disease Center [CDC] doctors urge you to get a flu shot, then inform you that many persons are getting sick from other mutant viruses that are more dangerous than the flu. Such mixed messages contribute to public confusion and flu shot controversy. No wonder many persons are not getting flu shots! You may not get the flu but you certainly could get the more dangerous adenoviruses. Adenoviruses act like the flu, look like the flu but are not flu viruses. Viruses are small particles of genetic material (either DNA or RNA) that are surrounded by a protein coat. Some viruses also have a fatty "envelope" covering. Since viruses are incapable of reproducing on their own, they depend on the organisms they infect (hosts) for their very survival. The virus makes more copies of itself, releases new virus particles, and kills more host cells. Here is what doctors and CDC are not telling you: Catching the flu or adenovirus means that your immune system is down and unable to protect you. It also implies that you may be a poor manager of your body and lifestyle. You need to bolster your immune system, for your body uses the immune system to heal and stay well. Antibiotics and vaccine are drugs that provide limited protection against the flu and other virus infections for a short time. Drug medication seldom bolsters your immune system. It is what the CDC doesn't tell you that can get you infected! Here is what you should know: The CDC defines the flu as “a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the nose, throat and lungs.” Symptoms include some or all of the following:
The flu [virus] can be diagnosed with a test -- a swab of your nose or throat. The CDC says that with Influenza-Like-Illness [ILI], you have a fever [temperature of 100°F or higher] and a cough or sore throat without a known cause. Adenovirus infections may also have some of the flu symptoms. What is frightening about the adenoviruses is that you may have the flu, then feel like you are recovering, only to get a second and third attack from an adenovirus. The entire attack from two or more adenoviruses can prolong your being sick with coughing and running nose for months. For most persons with flu symptoms, doing a flu test probably would not change the doctor therapy. [There is no approved antibiotic for viruses at this time.] Adenoviruses are spread by coughing and sneezing, direct contact with an infected person or touching objects and surfaces, such as a door handles and light switches, where adenoviruses can live and remain infectious for long periods. Adenoviruses can survive at room temperatures for weeks. There are many other viruses, besides flu and adenoviruses, that can cause illnesses. Viruses often attack different parts of the body, like throat, lungs, skin, digestive and nervous. For example, noroviruses have been reported to be responsible for outbreaks of severe gastrointestinal illness that happen on cruise ships. Rotavirus causes severe, watery diarrhea that can lead to dehydration. Anyone can get rotavirus, but the illness occurs most often in babies and young children. So what can you do to prevent getting any of the virus infections? To begin with, there is no antibiotic or drug that can kill viruses at this time. So .... what will kill most viruses? The answer may be nano-silver ASAP solution which is discussed below. But you need to do more than just use nano-silver to enhance your immune system and optimal wellbeing. You need to consider improving your immune system throughout your life. Having the flu or other virus may be an indication of worse things to come. If you have the flu or thereafter lingering symptoms such as a chronic cough or running nose, get over these symptoms as soon as you can. Restore your body to good health. Take charge of your lifestyle and lower the risk of catching the flu, other viruses or even the cold in the future. How? Here are a few suggestions: 1. avoid crowds where somebody may be infected, but you nor they do not know it. 2. Avoid hospitals and doctors. Sick patients bring their viruses with them to the hospital and doctor. 3. Do not greet others with a hand shake. The palm of the hand is replete with bacteria and viruses. 4. Personal hygiene: Wash your hands and face with soap and water after coming home from shopping and visiting relatives and friends. Blow your nose out for it may be full of new viruses. Wash your hands after touching your nose or mouth. 5. Eat healthy foods and avoid bad junk foods. Both good and bad foods affect the kind of bacteria that live in your large intestine [colon]. Good bacteria enhance immunity and help fight infections whereas bad bacteria cause infections and diseases. An alkali diet makes your body alkali, which promotes the good bacteria. 6. Ingest the supplement spirulina as it has the best nutritional balance of vitamins, minerals, fats and amino acids compared to other foods. Mother nature has balanced out spirulina, in the proper dosage, with all the co-factors or nutrient helpers and enzymes that make spirulina a perfect food. 7. Consider taking a plant derived nutrient supplement. 8. Nasal irrigation: use a netipot to cleanse and wash out your sinuses on both sides of your nose, getting rid of viruses that may be incubating and causing your running nose. 9. Practice deep inhalations to clear the bronchial tubes and lungs of pnemocaucus bacterium several times a day, thereby preventing pneumonia. Exercise will do the same for you. 10. Consider taking colloidal nano-silver sol ASAP. Before antibiotics were discovered, silver was the safe germ killer. In the days before refrigeration, farmers tossed a silver coin in a bucket of milk to preserve it. Chemists put a silver dime in their petri dish to sterilize it. For hundreds of years it was common practice to place a silver wire in an infected wound that refused to heal. Day: silver -universal germicide 2009 People before 1900 used silver as a safe and very inexpensive disinfectant. You need to be advised that superb research studies on medical uses of colloidal nano-silver ASAP 10 ppm in United States and the world are lacking; in spite of silver carbon filters being used in Mexico and other countries to disinfect water purification and swimming pools. Letter: Silver purifies swimming pool 1975 You are in charge of your body. You .... only you should decide on what to do about preventing future flu and viruses. Catching the flu or adenovirus means that you were exposed to someone who had the virus. Your immune system was down and was unable to protect you. You need to bolster your immune system on a long term basis whereas antibiotics and vaccines are drugs that provide limited protection for a short time. Current vaccines may not work as these viruses can mutate into a new virus .... making the old vaccine ineffective and thus of short duration.
Medical-Health Benefits of silver:
In spite of the advice of doctors, getting a flu shot may not be your best protection. The reason is common sense. As long as you ignore eating whole plant 'good' foods that are also alkali; and instead, eat junk foods, and ignore changing your reckless lifestyle [and then also get a flu shot], you will continue to be susceptible to flu viruses in the future, not to mention possibly incubating chronic diseases over a long time. Flu vaccines may provide you with minimum protection against the flu, but your good alkali food and lifestyle give you the best protection. Your doctors forgot to mention this to you! This article provides information about how to prevent a flu or other viruses. You need to make an informed decision on how to deal with the flu, other viral infections and whether you want to use a nano-silver ASAP 10mg product. It is your decision.
