The H1N1 flu virus scare has eased off, but the reality is that flu viruses are still out there. Many experts still expect a major, full-blown world-wide flu pandemic in the near future. Recall the flu pandemic of 1918 that killed 500,000 people in the United States and more than 21 million people globally. The next pandemic will come at any time and will probably be worse because the flu is gaining in severity.
So what do you do to protect yourself and your loved ones from the risk? Do you get vaccinated? Even if a flu vaccine were to work against the specific strain it vaccinates for, it might not protect you from current strains. Thankfully this past flu scare wasn’t as bad as it could have been because there was not enough flu vaccine to go around. In addition, many people complain of side effects of flu vaccines and there are controversies about the safety of vaccines in general.

Once a person comes down with the flu, a typical treatment is an antiviral antibiotic, which can cause a long list of dangerous side effects which can be worse than the flu itself. These include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, asthma, pneumonia, bronchitis, death of skin cells, skin rashes and inflammation, swelling of the face or tongue, hepatitis, heart arrhythmias, seizures and aggravation of diabetes.
The best defense against the flu is to prevent it. Like the old saying, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Although anyone can be affected, those most susceptible are those with inadequate nutritional intake. Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) has been used very successfully for years to put a stop to viruses of many varieties, including the flu. Vitamin C has the ability to neutralize toxins, poisons and venoms as well as inactivating viruses and other pathogens, including those causing the flu, shingles, chicken pox, viral pneumonia, meningitis, mononucleosis and tetanus.
I recommend that an adult take at least 1,000 mg of Vitamin C every day to prevent viral attacks. If you are exposed to someone with a virus infection or you start to come down with symptoms of an infection, I recommend taking 1,000 mg every hour while you are awake, until you develop a harmless laxative effect of loose stools. When that happens, just reduce the dose until the loose stools subside, then slowly increase the dose again.
In addition to adequate doses of Vitamin C, I recommend taking the potent anti-viral herbs Astragalus and Echinacea and a high quality multivitamin/mineral to give your body’s immune system the biological ingredients it needs to fight.
Don’t wait until a flu pandemic strikes. Arm yourself ahead of time with mother nature’s antiviral good guys.

natural cleanse laxative teas contain strong ingredients, that when used improperly can have grave results, even death. Many dieters use laxative teas to lose weight. Just remember that in addition to water and other nutrients that you lose every time you ingest a laxative, you also lose important muscle matter, proteins and iron. Even when used sparingly, laxative teas can cause stomach cramps, vomiting and diarrhea. Addiction to laxatives is a very real possibility even if you don’t use it for weight loss. The body becomes accustomed to having the diuretic elements and won’t be able to go without it.
