14 Ways to Prevent Swine Flu

posted by Dr. Frank Lipman author of "Total Renewal: 7 Key Steps to Resilience, Vitality and Long-Term Health"



Don’t know whether or not to get the H1N1 vaccination? You might want to read some of these precautions before you sign up for the shot. If you’re opting for other ways to dodge the flu, here are 14 tips to boost your immunity and stay healthy this flu season.

1. Optimize your vitamin D level. Adequate levels of vitamin D are essential for our immune systems to function optimally. Unfortunately there are no significant dietary sources of vitamin D, most of our intake comes from exposure to sunlight. If you live far from the equator, you simply don’t get enough sun through Fall and Winter to make all the vitamin D you need. So unless you supplement during this period, your innate immunity will be compromised. vitamin D plays such a crucial role in so many aspects of your body’s functioning, that supplementing with it makes sense whether you decide to get the flu shot or not.

We know that influenza always gets worse during the winter months. Now there is good evidence to suggest that this is because as sunlight hours lessen during the winter, the people living in the northern hemisphere become vitamin D deficient and are susceptible to influenza infections of all kinds.

The current recommendations from the Food and Nutrition Board of the U.S. Institute of Medicine: from 200 to 600 IU/day depending on one’s age, are way too low.

These values were originally chosen because they were found to prevent osteomalacia (bone softening) and rickets. It is now recognized that vitamin D has many additional physiological functions, for which these levels are totally inadequate. A number of scientists are therefore calling for the Food and Nutrition Board in the U.S. and its counterparts abroad to reassess their current recommendations. Get your 25 hydroxy vitamin D level checked by your Doctor (if that is not an option, you can self test your level with ZRT labs)

Although the current normal range is between 20 and 50ng/ml, this is much too low for optimal health. You want your level to be between 50 and 70ng/ml.

This is the most important step you can take to prevent the flu! It may require a number of months taking 5,000 to 10,000 IU of vitamin D3 daily (especially during winter) under a doctor’s supervision, to optimize your blood level. Monitor your 25 hydroxy vitamin D status every three months until you are in the optimal range, then cut back to a maintenance dose of at least 2,000 IU a day.

2. Get adequate sleep. This is an indispensable requirement for a strong immune system.

3. Get adequate exercise. This keeps you robust.

4. Take actions to lower your stress levels.

Do breathing exercises, meditate, practice yoga, spend time doing something that makes you happy. Feeling spent, overwhelmed and or mentally run down has a causal relationship to your physical health.

Gandhi's Health Guide

Millions of people today continue to be inspired by Mahatma Gandhi's teachings because he was a genuine man of God. He also was an original thinker with an inquiring mind who refused to accept untested principles. What many people may not know is that Gandhi's thoughts on health are as original as his thoughts on spirituality and politics. This book shows how his renunciation of Western medicine transformed the man and his ideas.
Gandhi's Health Guide



The great Mahatma Gandhi, at the age of 32 became a student of nature cure. First he became a vegetarian and then a fruitarian. After six months as a fruitarian, he said in his book - The Health Guide:
"A period of six months is all too short to arrive at any definite conclusions on such a vital matter as a complete change of diet. This, however, I can say, that during this period I have been able to keep well where others have been attacked by disease, and my physical as well as my mental powers are now greater than before. I may not be able to lift heavy loads, but I can do hard labor for much longer time without fatigue. I can also do more mental work and with better persistence and resoluteness. I have tried a fruit diet on many sickly people invariably with great advantage. My own experience, as well as my study of the subject has confirmed me in the conviction that a fruit diet is the best one for us." - Gandhi.

If You Wouldn't Do This to a Dog, Why Do It to a Fish?

Anglers will have more than fishing on their minds when they see PETA's new billboard on the road to their favorite fishing hole.
No one would consider doing to a dog what some so casually do to fish—trick them into impaling themselves in the mouth and pull them into an environment where they can't breathe. But the fact is—fish feel pain just as all animals do.
When it comes to feelings, a child is a dog is a fish.
Sylvia Earle, one of the leading marine biologists and ocean explorers of our time, has spent thousands of hours diving and knows a thing or two about the denizens of the deep. “I never eat anyone I know personally,” says Earle. “I wouldn’t deliberately eat a grouper any more than I’d eat a cocker spaniel. They’re so good-natured, so curious. You know, fish really are sensitive, they have personalities, they hurt when they’re wounded.”Bass and basset hounds, cods and collies, all animals treasure their lives and feel pain.

Why do we throw a frisbee to some animals and a barbed hook to others?
Even when thrown back, fish are forced to endure a violent and frightening ordeal. Naturalist David Quammen has said: "I've had more and more trouble with catch-and-release fishing as time goes on. I've concluded that it's speciesist to tell ourselves it's a game to the fish. It's deadly mortal serious to them. These animals were hysterically fighting for survival ..."
Fishing is just as cruel as tossing Rover a biscuit on a hook and then reeling in the old boy. The only difference is that Rover is cute and cuddly. But don't let the scales and gills fool you: Those fish have feelings, too.
"Imagine using worms and flies to catch ... eagles and ospreys and hauling them around on 50 feet of line while they tried to get away. Then when you landed them, you'd release them. No one would tolerate that sort of thing with birds. But we will for fish because they're underwater and out of sight."

—Jack Turner, former angler

Tylenol May Cause Serious Liver Damage

If you take Tylenol for four days as directed you may be at risk of liver damage, says a new study.
Tylenol has been on the market for decades. Previous studies had shown that Tylenol in combination with hydrocodone caused liver damage - experts had thought the liver toxicity was associated with hydrocodone. This new study clearly shows that the Tylenol poses the risk, rather than the hydrocodone.

Researchers from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, USA, were surprised when they found out that the liver damage had nothing to do with the opiate (hydrocodone). They found a previously unrecognized but pretty remarkable effect of acetaminophen (Tylenol) alone when taken as directed for four days.

The scientists said that patients who really need Tylenol should not stop taking it. If they are concerned they should discuss their medication with their doctor before considering switching.

Tylenol is a popular painkiller taken by millions of people all over the world. It is an alternative to aspirin for people who are concerned about its gastrointestinal side-effects.

WORDS CAN'T BE TAKEN BACK

Whether we realize it or not, our words affect our family, children, friends.
Our words have the power. We need to speak loving words of approval and acceptance, words that encourage, inspire and motivate.

"Don't do what I want you to do. Do what you want to do. Follow your own dreams".

Maybe you didn't do well at blessing your children as they were growing up. It's not too late. Start to do it now. Pick up the phone to call and encourage them, to tell them you are proud of them.

We need to be extremely careful about what we allow to come out of our mouths.
Words can't be taken back!
Once you speak them, they take on a life of their own.
We should never speak negative destructive words toward anybody.
It is important for a husband to understand that his words have tremendous power in his wife's life. He needs to bless her with his words. She's given her life to love and care for him, to partner with him, to create a family together, to nurture his children. If he always finding fault in something she's doing, always putting her down, he will reap horrendous problems in his marriage and in his life.
Many women today are depressed and feel emotionally abused because their husbands do not bless them with their words. One of the leading causes of emotional breakdowns among married women is the fact that women do not feel valued.
"Oh, my wife knows I love her", many said. "I don't need to tell her. I told her back when we got married forty years ago".
No, she needs to hear it again and again.
Every single day, a husband should tell his wife,

"I love you. I appreciate you. You're the best thing that ever happened to me".
A wife should do the same for her husband.
Your relationship would improve immensely if you'd simply start speaking kind, positive words, blessing your spouse insted of cursing him or her.
Very soon you'll see a miracle.

God is a miracle-working God.

Words can hurt. Words can build up and words can destroy. So let us be careful with what we say and how we say it. - Mel.

"Don't do what I want you to do. Do what you want to do. Follow your own dreams".

Don't be cruel, please....said fish

Going Fishing?

Catch-and-release In Less Than Four Minutes, Please.

Science Daily
Recreational fishing that involves catch-and-release may seem like just good fun, and that released fish go on to live happily ever after, but a recent study at the University of Illinois shows that improper handling techniques by anglers can increase the likelihood of released fish being caught by predators.
After the stress of the catch and lack of oxygen from being out of water, the fish is in a weakened state. When it eventually gets released back into the water, if fish haven't been handled properly, they are more likely to be caught by a predator.
A study on the effects of catch-and-release angling on bonefish which was conducted by a team led by University of Illinois researcher Cory Suski.
"Whenever a fish is caught and reeled in, it expends a lot of energy so that's one stressor," said Suski. Depending upon the skill of the angler, the catching can last a long time and put additional stress on the fish. When the fish is brought up on the deck or in the boat to measure and take a picture, it faces an additional challenge and cannot obtain enough oxygen, and the fish continues to accumulate physiological disturbances. "Our recommendation to catch-and-release sport anglers is that they minimize the time it takes to actually land the fish and take a picture, and then get it back into the water as soon as possible."

RUNNY NOSES and SORE THROATS

Got Allergies and Mucus?

If your kids suffer from chronic runny noses and sore throats, it might be time to dump the dairy. According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, cow’s milk is the number one-cause of food allergies in children. According to the former director of pediatrics at Johns Hopkins University, Dr. Frank Oski, there is evidence to indicate that up to half of U.S. children have some allergic reaction to milk. For these kids (and for adults who are allergic to dairy foods), milk is a mucus maker and can lead to persistent problems such as chronic coughs and sinus infections, asthma, and ear infections.
More and more physicians and dietitians realize that removing dairy products from the diet can be the solution to many childhood illnesses such as runny noses, constipation, colic, ear infections, and gas—and the list goes on.
See for yourself:
According to a report published by the American Academy of Allergy and Immunology Committee on Adverse Reactions to Food (part of the National Institutes of Health),
the allergies of up to one third of children tested cleared after milk was removed from their diet.
Dr. Benjamin Spock, author of the world-famous book Baby and Child Care, wrote in 1998, "Cow’s milk is not recommended for a child when he is sick—or when he is well, for that matter. Dairy products may cause more mucus complications and cause more discomfort with upper respiratory infections."
In their book Allergies to Milk, Drs. Sami L. Bahna and Douglas C. Heiner report that children who are allergic to milk "may have breathing difficulty, particularly during sleep, or an irritating cough associated with a postnasal drip. … The cough is frequently associated with noisy breathing and excessive mucus in the throat, and sometimes parents worry that their child is ‘gagging.’ … Such affected children are frequently diagnosed as having upper respiratory infection, viral illness, bronchitis, … or pneumonia. Accordingly, they may be given unnecessary medications, including cough syrups, decongestants, or antibiotics. Relief, however, is not satisfactory until cow’s milk is eliminated from the diet.
"A 1997 report on food allergies in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that cow’s milk allergies tend to hit children in their infancies. Recommended therapies for food allergies include "strict removal of the offending allergen" or possibly a diet centered on human breast milk.
A British study found that 93 percent of children diagnosed with cow’s milk allergy experienced asthma and/or rhinitis when milk was included in their diet. (The book Asthma and Rhinitis states that rhinitis is "characterized by itching, sneezing, nasal blockage, and discharge.")
Frank Oski, M.D., the former director of the Department of Pediatrics of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and physician-in-chief of the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center, said in his 1992 book,
"The fact is: The drinking of cow milk has been linked to iron-deficiency anemia in infants and children; it has been named as the cause of cramps and diarrhea in much of the world’s population, and the cause of multiple forms of allergy as well."

I PREFER RAW FOOD - IT HEALED ME.

WHY RAW FOOD?

You may have heard about people eating raw food and drinking juices to detoxify themselves but you may not know the ins and outs of why. The truth is, cooked food is considered as poison to the human body, in fact, every time we eat cooked food our white blood cells multiply to get rid of the invader! This process of white blood cell multiplication is known as digestive leucocytosis. Our bodies are not designed to eat cooked food and it has to be eliminated as quickly as possible or else stored in adipose tissue.
Human beings are frugivores and can only live healthfully on a diet primarily consisting of raw fruit, nuts and seeds and green leafy vegetables. Raw plant material is the only thing our bodies' recognise as food and eating this way is the only way to achieve maximum vitality and optimum health.
For many years we have been told that we must have lots of protein in our diet, or lots of calcium and, we are told, meat and animal products are our way of providing this. Actually, meat and animal products are the hardest things for the human body to digest and result in poor health, directly or indirectly. This is not only because they are cooked but also because the human body is not designed physiologically to consume flesh foods or flesh products. This means that the consumption of this type of food results in an inevitable putrefaction and the resultant poisonous by-products play havoc with our health. All cooked foods are classed as alien to us and the only way the human body can take in nutrients is when the food we eat is whole, raw and plant. This means that anything other than that is thought of as poison and the body tries to expel it or store it away to prevent it from causing harm. A diet consisting of mainly or solely raw food gives us ALL THE NUTRIENTS WE NEED and is all the body requires for its vital functioning.
Don't be fooled by the myths!
On switching to a raw food and juices diet many people have allowed their bodies to heal from life-threatening diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, etc. and have turned around the ageing process. (AS ME)

WATER FOR LIFE

Many of you and me too, want to know more about water.

Watch MOVIE and read more here:

http://www.waterforlifeusa.com/

"Water is not just some colorless and tasteless one dimensional liquid; on the contrary, life on earth originated from water, and all life forms depend on water to sustain them, therefore water is the fundamental foundation and source of eternal life on earth.
Without water, neither humans nor any other life forms can exist. There are some life forms which may exist without air, but none may exist without water. Simply put, there is no substitute for water.
If we can not find staples such as rice or bread, we can replace them with meat and vegetables, even if a marriage ends up in separation or divorce causing loneliness and heartache, someone else can be found to fill that hole in our lives; however, on the entire planet earth, there is no substitute that can replace water.
Life can not exist without water, and water can not be replaced with any other substance. Humanity can benefit as a whole by appreciating such a valuable and rare natural resource, and by furthering the field of knowledge of how water plays active role in environment and health. "

STRUCTURED WATER

Structured water is most beneficial to our health.

We can get it from FRUITS and VEGETABLES, their juices,
and from MELTED ICE.
Scientists became interested in the fact that the Yakut people of Siberia in northern Russia live , on the average, for one hundred years. They do not have running water or well water; they eat very little fruits and vegetables; their diet is poor in general but they virtually never get sick.
The answer to the mystery turned out to be very simple. The Yakuts for centuries acquired their drining water by cutting ice and letting it melt in the sunshine.
We know that aging begins with wrinkles. Wrinkling happens when our body’s cells start to dry up.
One of the main causes of aging is our body’s inability to assimilate and process the water we consume.
To slow down the aging process, we should learn to prepare and use WATER from MELTED ICE.
Structured water can be prepared from any kind of water.
Pour water into a pot, cover the pot, put it in the freezer for 2-3 hours ( I put for all night), than take out and break the frozen surface. ( some people put this water one more in the freezer).
The water under the ice has the same structure as the water in our body’s cells.
(I not recommend restaurant’s ice water).
Drinking only one glass of such water every morning on an empty stomach can significantly improve your mood and the way you look .
It is especially beneficial for the elderly because it flushes not only unhealthy deposits out of their bodies but also old and dead cells, and this way it prevents them from cancers.
I often put my bottle of water or glass outside for 5-10 mints (influence a solar energy or/and coloured energy).

Can We Live 150 Years?: Your Body Maintenance Handbook

HEALTHY THE LYMPH SYSTEM - HEALTHY BODY

The Lymph System: The Body’s Garbage Collector.
This magnificent system’s purpose has long been misunderstood and its activities misinterpreted. As part of the incredible intelligence of the human body, here are several systems that perform seemingly miraculous functions: the nervous system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, digestive system, reproductive system, musculoskeletal system,
and

LYMPH SYSTEM

which is an integral part of the body’s defense system.

Our body is infinitely capable of defending and protecting itself. Our Creator thought of absolutely everything when making our bodies. God didn’t forget something as critically important and essential as a mechanism to protect against disease.

That is the defense system, erroneously referred to as the "immune system". It would be lovely if we could be made "immune", but it doesn’t work that way.
If we hold a loaded gun to our head and pull the trigger, there is no immunity to blowing our brains out. And there is no immunity to violating the laws of nature for years on and not having to pay the price for doing so. People have been convinced that they can live an an-healthy lifestyle, than run to the doctor for a pill or shot that will make everything okay, as if miraculously , all past transgressions can be swept away by some potion.
As far as preventing disease and creating vibrant health are concerned, our success depends on understanding the Lymph System, which is the heart and soul of the body’s defense mechanism.
The Lymph System is not at all complicated.
Toxins are a major contributing factor in the development of disease.
If toxins are allowed to build up and remain in the body, they will eventually cause harm to some degree, anything general aches and pains all the way to driving cells crazy.
If, however, they are removed from the body on a regular basis so that what is being build up is not allowed to exceed what is eliminated, your system will be kept sufficiently clean to prevent disease from ever getting started.

How fortunate we are that our bodies are equipped with such supreme intelligence.

***********

What is The Immune System?

http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-immune-system.htm

UNHEALTHY LIFESTYLE

Unhealthy lifestyle - civilization diseases.
Most of us eat too much, rather from habit than hunger. We are convinced in our childhood that we have to eat a few meals a day regardless of how we feel.
An old Tibetan teaches:

"Most people get ill for one of two reasons - overeating or hunger". As it turns out , we often use forks and spoons to dig our own graves.

The knowledge allowing us to use a correct diet is very important. It is not enough to prepare tasty meals; we need to know how properly nurture our body.
Our body is overwhelmed by the necessity to digest, process, and assimilate excessive amounts of food.
From what kind of food should we get our life energy ?

The kind that grows in the sunlight is the best source of energy for us. The sun is the universal energy source for every living organism. Nature gave plants the ability to absorb and accumulate sun energy that is later available for our use.

Nutrition influences not only our health but also our longevity.

I would like to add that diet based only on the calorie count is wrong from the physiological point of view. It is not the initial calorie content of the food that matters, but how much energy we actually obtain from it when it is digested.
Even though plant-based foods represent lower calorie content, net energy our body receives after their digestion is still higher. This is why a bowl of fruits makes us feel light and ready to do some work , but , in contrast, eating a portion of meat makes us feel going to sleep. We associate meat consumption with strength and energy. In reality, meat only stimulates our nervous system in similar way narcotics do.

"I do feel that spiritual progress does demand, at some stage, that we should cease to kill our fellow creatures for the satisfaction of our bodily wants" - Mahatma Gandhi

DISORDERS of OUR JOINTS

"Each illness has its cause, and the cause cannot be removed by any medication" - Hippocrates

The medication or hospital care cannot cure us from bad habits that result in the internal contamination of our body.
We should acquire the habit of looking after our health, and understand that we are the custodians of our bodies.

Disorders of our joints
Disorders of our joints and bones, back pain, chronic rheumatism, arthritis, podagra, etc., are caused by excess of uric acid in our body. We are going to safer in pain as long as its hard crystals are stuck in our bones and muscles. Those suffering from rheumatism or podagra have to understand : to get rid of pain they’ve been suffering from for years, they need to interrupt the process of uric acid formation and dissolve its deposits accumulated in joints and muscles. ( post about it - next year).
Podagra (Gout)
usually attacks joints in our great toes, less often in the thumbs. Excruciating gouty pains are the usual symptoms. Deposits of crystals cause pain, swelling, and redness in the joint area. Salts deposited by blood form growths that deform our joints and interfere with their mobility. If the deposit of acid keep growing, thick cement-like layers of salt cover the entire joints and prevent them from almost any movement.
Chronic rheumatism
should be distinguished from acute rheumatism, which is a complication from cold or flu. Chronic rheumatism is related to podagra because both are the result of accumulated uric acid deposit. It seldom affects young people. Older people pay that price for all generous meals in their lifetime.
We can say that rheumatism is a mirror where our bad nutritional habits are reflected. Chronic rheumatism causes swellings and growths that look very much like those in podagra cases, but it isn’t as painful as podagra. Its causes is slow metabolism originating from excess of uric acid due to consuming products containing it, or consuming a lot of alcohol, coffee, tea, sweets and cigaretts.

THE BASIC RULE IN GOOD HEALTH MAINTENANCE.

WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF COMMON COLD ? (2)

It is waste accumulated in our body.
If our ability to discard that waste is deficient, the large intestine becomes a warehouse for all this filth. Self-poisoning (autotoxication) is the worst enemy of our health.
It is the cause of many disease because all of them begin in poisoned blood.
From the large intestine , it’s distributed to the whole body and forms unhealthy mucus. When the amount of toxic mucus becomes dangerous, our body tries to clean itself through the nose, and this becomes what we call common cold. As viruses and bacteria invade the mucus, they bring about inflammations and fever. These are facts that deserve some thought.
Ancient physicians and healers of Egypt and Tibet knew long ago the fundamental principle:
Good health requires maintaining our intestines in perfect order.
We know how to deal with complicated economic issues, how to use computers, or how to repair an electronic instrument with thousands of connections, but we cannot answer the simple question about the number of times we urinate in a day or about the color of our urine.
We need to watch the way our body functions and understand what is good and what is harmful for us.
This is the basic rule in good health maintenance.

CAUSE of COMMON COLD

CAUSE of COMMON COLD (1)

"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease" - Thomas Edison

Numerous researches have tried to identify and examine the evasive microbe that is supposed to cause common cold. As recently as in the 1940-ies the scientists explained the ineffectiveness of the research by the fact that the microbe is too small to be seen under the available microscopes. Later spectacular technical advances, including electron microscope, didn’t change the situation. Sophisticated optical equipment allowed the discovery of hundreds of new microorganisms, but none of them could be pinned down as the only cause of common cold.
Today, more than 200 different viruses are said to cause the symptoms of the common cold (rhinoviruses, coronaveruses, paramyxoviruses… the list goes on and on..)

Why can’t we identify the microbe that causes the common cold? - Because there is no such thing. Each of the suspected microorganisms is only feeding on the mucus produced in the bodysuffering from common cold. That mucus, resulting from wrong nutritional habits, is in the body all the time.

In the spring and fall seasons, the body starts cleaning itself of the excess amounts of mucus. That’s when germs show up and start dissolving and then destroying or removing the mucus, in effect helping us to clean up our body.

But what do we do then?

We take medications to get rid of the microbes. This way, we end up killing what is helping us and allowing the mucus to stay in our body. After some time, we get sick again either with common cold or influenza. The root of the problem remains the same, only this time a different kind of microorganism is feeding on the mucus.
Year after year in spring and fall seasons, epidemic numbers of people suffer from runny noses, bone aches, and other common cold symptoms. We have more and more medications intended to kill the microbes. The germs, tiny as they are, are not stupid. They want to live, and they find ways to become immune to our drugs. It doesn’t take a prophet to predict the result of such "wars". The stronger and more effective drugs we invent the more vicious microbes we have to deal with.
Who is the loser in this war? Our health is. All drugs, even those considered very safe, cause side effect.

What then is the cause of common cold ?
