According to the World Health Organization, WHO, there is
a state of public health emergency of international concern with the strain of influenza known as the swine flu.  Over 100 deaths have occurred in Mexico, and there are five states reporting cases.  What exactly are we facing, and should the individual be concerned?

This flu is of the type A/H1N1, which is the type that is spread via coughing or sneezing, spreading airborne droplets of liquid.  Is it contagious?  Yes, most definitely, as is any other strain of influenza.

If you are thinking that the best course of action is to change your diet and avoid eating pork products, lets clear up that point.  You cannot contract swine flu from pork meat, but remember with any meats to cook at appropriate heats to the recommended temperature. 

Restrict your contact with live pigs, though, for you can contract this illness from a live pig.

What is the best way to avoid contracting swine flu? 

Great question!   Proper hygiene is always a good course of action.  Wash your hands often, toss those used tissues, and cover when you sneeze or cough.   If you are a caretaker of someone with the flu you may want to use a basic mask as a precaution.  But lets get realistic. 

Airborne viruses are tough to beat.

You might want to contact your doctor if you have these symptoms:  unusual fatigue, headache, a runny nose, aching

body, coughing, and a high fever.  Treatment is the same as for any other flu outbreak.

If you are thinking that the flu shot you received will protect you, well sorry you are out of luck.  The vaccine is for a specific strain of influenza.  It will take at least six months for a vaccine to be developed for this strain.

We are only beginning to see the effects of swine flu, and the future is uncertain.  The bird flu resulted in over 250 deaths in twelve countries, and killed millions of birds.  Is there any hope in defending ourselves from the swine flu?

There are measures we can take in our daily lives to create a cleaner healthier environment, thereby reducing the risk of contracting any flu virus.  Eating a healthy diet helps promote a stronger immune system. 

Anti-oxidants also support and promote better health.  Using natural anti-bacterial and anti-viral supplements, both in your environment and in your personal health and hygiene, can wipe out a virus or flu before it takes hold.

Water purification drops have been used for decades to treat drinking water and reduce bacteria, viruses and parasites, such as the mildew cleanup after hurricane Katrina.

Swine flu is a virus, and we can fight back with a powerful anti-virus water treatment program.

 
 

Colloidal silver solution has been aptly dubbed, 'The Silver Bullet That Kills Viruses' due to it's revolutionizing abilities to target only harmful bacteria and viruses while leaving the healthy ones untouched. Silver has been known to benefit mankind in various forms for centuries. Silver has been used as a solution or cure to various ailments from as far back as ancient history records right up to modern day medicine. Today, technology allows silver to be available in very small, suspended particles called colloidal silver solution.

Silver is known by dietary experts to be one of many micro-minerals which contribute to our overall optimum health. Silver is one of the most important trace minerals lacking in our mainstream diet. Because of low silver levels in our diet our health is at risk against viruses and bacteria that would normally not survive under optimum dietary conditions. Researcher, I H Tipton noted in 1966 the average daily intake of silver was approximately 50-100 mcg. Today, since farming and processing practices are different, silver is much lower if present at all.

Present day technology now provides a colloidal silver solution which has been recently patented and is still being researched in Universities. This 'New Silver Solution' is made up of very tiny micro-particles of pure elemental silver suspended in a pure water solution. The silver solution can now be purchased online and comes in bottles with concentrations of 14 parts of silver for every million parts of water (typically stated as 14 ppm) up to 22 ppm.

Does The New Silver Solution Harm The Helpful Bacteria in Our Intestines?

It is important to know whether 'The New Silver Solution' is harmful to helpful bacteria. Friendly bacteria which exist in our large intestines have been known to be destroyed by antibiotics, especially broad-spectrum antibiotics. Because our friendly 'bacteria' produces B vitamins and folic acid for us as well as competing against pathogenic or unfriendly viruses we are left susceptable to super infections while taking some of these antibiotics. According to studies conducted at Brigham Young University and Viridi Biopharma 'The New Silver Solution' does not present such a problem.

In light of the fact that 'The New Silver Solution' has been used by so many people without ever reporting one single negative gastrointestinal side affect indicates it's safe usage. 'The New Silver Solution' has been tested in vitro on most of the known friendly fauna such as Lactobacillus and shown to have no harmful effects.

The New Silver Solution is now patented in the United States being deemed a new product, and therefore approved for patent by the USA Patent Agency. In the last 80 years 'The New Silver Solution' is the only colloidal silver product to receive 2 patent approvals. An international as well as Japan specific patent has also been filed.

'The New Silver Solution' should be considered a mandatory addition to your medicine and health cupboard. You're worries about colds, flus and other virus can now be made history when you maintain your health with optimum micro-minerals that fight such diseases. 'The New Silver Solution' can also be used externally on cuts, burns, eyedrops, mouth wash, eardrops and nose drops.

About the Author: The New Silver Solution has also been used effectively as an alternative cancer treatment. The New Silver Solution is the only colloidal silver approved by an international health consortium as an antibiotic alternative

In most of the cases that are usually hit by heatstroke are the kids and the elderly, as their adaptability to differing temperatures are usually less responsive compared to those in their prime. Those who are severely fat and obese are at also greater risk than those who are slim and fit because the body has a great difficulty dissipating the body heat through the thick layers of lipids and fat.

First aid should be given in haste and should consist of differing methods that should immediately bring the core temperature to at least 39 degrees Celsius. One quick method of doing so is by rubbing the body with a cloth dipped in cold (not ice) water. Alcohol also works fine, as the liquid dissipates into the air fast enough, taking heat away as well; just make sure that you are doing so in a well-ventilated environment.

Should you give a cold bath, do so. But don't do with an ice bath, as the immediate drop in temperature might lead to cardiac arrest. Once temperature has at least reached the 39 degree mark, slowly lead the body to cool down a bit more slowly now. Don't shock the body with an immediate temperature change, never forget this.

A lesser form of heatstroke, or rather a milder version of it, is heat exhaustion. This less severe condition occurs when the afflicted person feels tired, fatigued, and a bit nauseous and dizzy because of profound and long exposure to heat.

This is because of over sweating, which leads to excessive loss of body salts, though the body is at a normal or below normal temperature thanks to it. Giving first aid means having small sips of salt water to replenish the lost salts and a massage to areas affected by cramps, which usually follows after heat exhaustion.
