Take care of your health to reduce or eliminate your risk of contracting the flu. The key is to keep your immune system strong by following these guidelines:    * Eliminate sugar and processed foods from your diet. Sugar consumption has an immediate, debilitating effect on your immune system.

    * Take a high quality source of animal-based omega 3 fats like Krill Oil.    * Exercise. Your immune system needs good circulation in order to perform at its best for you.    * Optimize your vitamin D levels. Vitamin D deficiency is the likely cause of seasonal flu viruses. Getting an optimal level of vitamin D will help you fight infections of all kinds.

    * Get plenty of good quality sleep.    * Deal with stress effectively. If you feel overwhelmed by stress, your body will not have the reserves it needs to fight infection.    * Wash your hands. But not with an antibacterial soap. Use a pure, chemical-free soap.

How to Protect Yourself Without Dangerous Drugs and VaccinationsLast but not least, let me reiterate the many ways you can protect your health from ANY kind of flu, without a potentially dangerous vaccine.I have not caught a flu in over two decades, and you can avoid it too by following these simple guidelines, which will keep your immune system in optimal working order so that you're far less likely to acquire the infection to begin with.

    * Optimize your vitamin D levels. As I've previously reported, optimizing your vitamin D levels is one of the absolute best strategies for avoiding infections of ALL kinds, and vitamin D deficiency is likely the TRUE culprit behind the seasonality of the flu -- not the flu virus itself.

      I would STRONGLY urge you to have your vitamin D level monitored to confirm your levels are therapeutic at 50-70 ng.ml and done by a reliable vitamin D lab like Lab Corp.      If you are coming down with flu like symptoms and have not been on vitamin D you can take doses of 50,000 units a day for three days to treat the acute infection. Some researchers like Dr. Cannell, believe the dose could even be as high as 1,000 units per pound of body weight for three days.

      However, most of Dr. Cannell's work was with seasonal and not pandemic flu. If your body has never been exposed to the antigens there is chance that the vitamin D might not work. Your best bet is to maintain healthy levels of vitamin D around 60 ng/ml.

    * Avoid Sugar and Processed Foods. Sugar decreases the function of your immune system almost immediately, and as you likely know, a strong immune system is key to fighting off viruses and other illness. Remember that sugar is present in foods you may not suspect, like ketchup and fruit juice.

    * Get Enough Rest. Just like it becomes harder for you to get your daily tasks done if you're tired, if your body is overly fatigued it will be harder for it to fight the flu. Be sure to check out my article Guide to a Good Night's Sleep for some great tips to help you get quality rest.

    * Have Effective Tools to Address Stress. We all face some stress every day, but if stress becomes overwhelming then your body will be less able to fight off the flu and other illness.      If you feel that stress is taking a toll on your health, consider using a tool such as meridian tapping techniques, which is remarkably effective in relieving stress associated with all kinds of events, from work to family to trauma. You can check out my free, 25-page manual for some guidelines on how to perform this simple technique.

    * Exercise. When you exercise, you increase your circulation and your blood flow throughout your body. The components of your immune system are also better circulated, which means your immune system has a better chance of finding an illness before it spreads. You can review my exercise guidelines for some great tips on how to get started.

    * Take a good source of animal-based omega-3 fats like krill oil. Increase your intake of healthy and essential fats like the omega-3 found in krill oil, which is crucial for maintaining health. It is also vitally important to avoid damaged omega-6 oils like trans fats as it will seriously damage your immune response.

    * Wash Your Hands. Washing your hands will decrease your likelihood of spreading a virus to your nose, mouth or to other people. Be sure you don't use antibacterial soap for this -- antibacterial soaps are completely unnecessary, and they cause far more harm than good. Instead, identify a simple chemical-free soap that you can switch your family to.

    * Use All-Natural 'Antibiotics'. Garlic works like a broad-spectrum antibiotic against bacteria, virus, and protozoa in your body. And unlike with antibiotics, no resistance can be built up so it is an absolutely safe product to use. However, if you are allergic or don't enjoy garlic it would be best to avoid as it will likely cause more harm than good.

      Other all-natural antibiotics include olive leaf extract and oil of oregano.    * Avoid Hospitals and Vaccines In this particular case, I'd also recommend you stay away from hospitals unless you have an emergency, as hospitals are prime breeding grounds for infections of all kinds, and could be one of the likeliest places you could be exposed to this new bug.

--------------------------------      http://www.jonbarron.org/baseline-health-program/2009-08-03.phpWhat can you do to protect yourself against H1N1?

Well, first of all, you probably don't need to throw yourself a swine flu party to deliberately give yourself the disease to build resistance. That said, you might want to take a look at the WHO guidelines for individuals. Surprisingly, from an alternative health perspective, they mostly make sense. The only real problem I have with them is what they say about antivirals.

    " Should I take an antiviral now just in case I catch the new virus?    " No. You should only take an antiviral, such as oseltamivir or zanamivir [Tamiflu and Relenza], if your health care provider advises you to do so. Individuals should not buy medicines to prevent or fight this new influenza without a prescription, and they should exercise caution in buying antivirals over the Internet. "

What's wrong with that? Nothing if you limit your antivirals to Tamiflu and Relenza. Unfortunately, that leaves off a whole world of effective natural antiviral treatments that if used, are highly likely to:    * Prevent death

    * Prevent the need for trips to the hospital    * Prevent you from actually getting a full blown flu in the first place if taken during the viral incubation phase    * Or significantly shorten the time of infection if you do come down with the full blown flu.

Can you protect yourself from the swine flu and speed recovery if you get it by using alternative therapies? Absolutely! But first, let me once again cover an important point. Many people on the net are advocating taking immune enhancing supplements in great abundance for protection against the swine flu. Having a good immune system is certainly a good thing. However, in the case of swine flu, it's not likely to be that helpful since much of your immune response is based on its memory of similar attacks -- and when it comes to swine flu, it has no memory. But there is a potentially bigger problem with jacking up your immune system. As we have already discussed, swine flu seems to have the ability to turn your immune system against itself so that it attacks your lungs; that is unless you also keep the viral load low. In fact, with colds and flus of any strain, it's always a good idea to use pathogen destroyers to take the viral load down. If nothing else, killing large numbers of the virus with an antipathogen just makes things that much easier for your immune system -- it has fewer invaders to deal with. But when it comes to avian flu and swine flu, it may actually save your life. And as for regular, seasonal flu, it will simply hold your symptoms in check and shorten the duration of your flu if you actually come down with it. Either way, you win. So with that in mind...

    * Keep a supply of AHCC, olive leaf extract capsules, and grapefruit seed extract on hand. Use them whenever you travel or enter an environment such as a large office as a prophylactic measure.    * Have a stockpile of proteolytic enzymes on hand to reduce systemic inflammation -- particularly lung tissue inflammation -- which appears to be a contributing factor in causing complications when infected with swine flu, or any other flu for that matter.

    * Keep a supply of a trusted natural pathogen destroying formula and a good immune building formula on hand -- or something like them. At the first sign of feeling unwell -- that scratch in the throat, a slightly feverish feeling, a dull body ache, an unexplained headache, etc. -- slam down a full mega dose of both. As any doctor will tell you (vis-a vis Tamiflu or Relenza), stopping the flu in the incubation phase is much, much, much easier than getting rid of it once it has established itself. If you hit it hard during incubation, you should be almost 100% effective in stopping it cold. If you allow it to incubate and fully manifest, it will take you several days to beat it back. It's true that you can significantly cut the time of your sickness, but it will still be several days, and you will need to keep taking the formulas for four to five days after you feel better to make sure you clear the virus from your body and it doesn't reassert itself. Fortunately, unlike medical antivirals, if you stop short, you are unlikely to breed resistant strains. By stopping short, I'm talking about taking your Tamiflu for only 2-3 days in an attempt to save some of your pills -- or splitting your 10 pill regimen with other family members if more than one person comes down with the flu at the same time. These actions allow some of the virus to survive, then replicate, and finally reemerge as a resistant strain.

    Other options include elderberry extracts and a good blood cleansing formula. Most blood cleansers are very unfriendly to viruses and bacteria.Bottom line: we are still not at panic time. There are things you can do to protect yourself and your family and virtually eliminate the risk of serious complications. And if the situation changes, I will keep you up-to-date on anything that might affect your health.
