Swine Flu Scam Alert!

Swine Flu Scam Alert!

Yesterday I had a word with a quite notable doctor and we were generally discussing about the global pandemic that is ‘swine flu‘. "People in general are just getting panicky and those concerned are raking money over the fact.", he said. I could quite agree to his point because what the media isn’t showing us is that more than 55% of swine flu cases in India have been cured and discharged from the hospital. (as of 12th August, 2009) We are only being bombarded with how many people are dying and how many new cases are being discovered. But what the entire population is not making an effort to notice is that most of these deaths have happened to already deteriorating individuals ie. the victims were already in a bad shape, some of the causes being high diabetes, AIDS, respiratory disorders, etc. The point I’m trying to make is that these conditions exasperate your immune system and once it is down, even high fever can result in your death. Apart from this, other fatalities due to the disease have been reported in minors, who again do not have a fully developed immune system; as well as the elderly who have crossed their 50s.

"People are wearing masks so religiously and walking on streets, when they don’t need to actually.", he says again. I will agree to this too because swine flu although being termed airborne doesn’t mean it will spread like nerve gas and infect all within a ten mile radius. No, no, no! Airborne transmission meaning through the aerosols produced when infected people cough or sneeze and it comes in contact with you, similar to the normal fever.

Lately, we also have a lot of homeopaths claiming that they have the cure for swine flu. I would strongly suggest you to stay away from these too. The simple fact is that homeopathy doesn’t work. Claims of homeopathy’s efficacy beyond the placebo effect are unsupported by the collective weight of scientific and clinical evidence. Also, several high-quality studies exist showing no evidence for any effect from homeopathy. Let it be any disease for that matter. So bottom line is to just stay away from any type of medication and practice healthy living until the government announces a definitive and viable measure against the H1N1 virus.

So, there is nothing to panic about, really! Just make sure you have enough healthy food, exercise, maintain hygiene and you ARE then the walking talking swine flu medicine. Remember, any disease will infect you in an empty stomach. But when you are having proper healthy food in proper time, your body has all the means to fight just about any disease. :)

Some rather unknown insights:
- Swine flu cannot be spread by pork products, since the virus is not transmitted through food when properly cooked.
- Fatalities are more likely in young children and the elderly.
- While masks block the relatively large, virus-carrying droplets sneezed out by infected people, the viruses themselves are much smaller and could easily pass through. Specialty masks, designated N-95 or N-99, are better filters but still not perfect.
- Many of us will get it eventually, but you will survive it, just like you do the flu. It’s those people who really have medical conditions that put them at risk, that’s who we need to worry about.

    actually some homeopathic systems work very well,and have been scientificaly verified at the max planck institute,and othe very prominant science centers.but naturopathic medicine has worked extreamly well against all flus.
    your data is seriously flawed and dangerous to others.
    ever heard of activated mms?
    the hospitals use it as Dioxychlor and it is very effective against all germs.
    the agent is chlorine dioxide and their is no defense or mutation against it.
    it kills ALL pathogens and is the agent of choice for the gov when decontaminating anthrax.
    A well designed web site does not a medical expert make.
    you are dangerous.

      That’s what every homeopath claims that their system works very well. You seem to be one more of the kind (or a victim maybe), who cannot differentiate between placebo medication and sugar pills. My data is based on research over several authentic sources and not from a homeopathy clinic in the neighbourhood. No offense, but Travis, why don’t you yourself do some research before making tall claims against articles which do not fall into your school of thought or the world of Homeopathy? :)

      BTW, I make no claims about being a medical expert. Glad you liked the design though! ;)

    the dioxichlor is taken internally.
    watch understanding mms on google video.
    i have heard that the ones affected are the young adults for the new mutation of “swine’ flu.
    are you shill for the allopathic sorcerers(western doctors),if you get h5n1 i hope you have sense enough to get some mms and follow the flu protocal at jimhumble.biz,because if you go to those doctors you praise,theres a good chance you will die.
    now thats karma.

      Are you a fuckin’ spammer?

      Because your previous website https://web2.herbdoc.com/ has a disclaimer at the bottom which reads something like: “These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Always consult your doctor before taking any of these products”

      Now this is something really interesting. :P
