#breakingnews What you need to know about Flu http://t.co/f5UQXNhV #rovedin Between the years 1918 and 1920 the world experienced an influenza pandemic that killed at least 20 million people, with most of the victims being healthy young adults. Then in the 1930s, U.S. researchers developed the first experimental influenza vaccine. While there have been several influenza pandemic scares since then, hundreds of thousands of people around the world die each year from influenza. Therefore it should not be taken lightly. But the vaccine could, in large part, be credited with preventing pandemics. Flu season is here yet again. Dr. Thomas R. Blackledge is a medical doctor who specializes in family medicine at Medical Center in Magee. He offers his advice on getting the flu vaccine.   While he is a qualified medical doctor, his opinion is one of many and therefore is not definitive of the medical profession. WHO?IS?MOST?AT?RISK?FOR?THE?FLU AND?WHY? The most at risk people are elderly and those with compromised immune systems like a chronic illness or cancer, anyone in a situation where their immune system is not completely 100 percent. ARE?CHILDREN?AT?RISK?TOO?    Children under one are most at risk too. This includes newborns and premature babies. WHAT ARE?THE?SYMPTOMS?OF?INFLUENZA? Significant fever - usually in the 103 or 104 range, body aches; and in extreme cases, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Typical course of the flu is three days to a week, depending how healthy you are. WHO?BENEFITS?FROM?THE?FLU?SHOT?AND?WHY?   Everyone benefits from the flu shot because you have less time off from work, and it’s less expensive from seeing the doctor. Everyone benefits but obviously those who are most at risk would benefit. . HOW?EFFECTIVE?IS?THE?VACCINE? This year, a little disappointed in the effectiveness. some people have gotten the flu despite getting the vaccine, but he effects were mild. It’s not 100 percent effective and it varies from year to year because the CDC bases their influenza vaccine on the most popular types of flu they think will occur next season.    And it never will be 100 percent effective. Many different strains of lnfluenza exist so there is no way to make vaccines for all of them. viruses replicate and mutate and in the process they become resistant to treatment. WHAT?IS?THE?VACCINE?MADE?OF? A deactivated polysaccharide protein. not a live virus. but a portion of the virus protein. The body reacts to the protein by forming antibodies to the protein itself. The antibodies destroy the protein. HOW?DOES?THE?VACCINE?WORK    Because the antibodies are preformed formed from the vaccine, they are ready to attack the virus should the person get the real flu. You basically teach your body to get ready to recognize and react to the protein by inducing some of that protein and causing a reaction. EVEN?WITH?THE? VACCINE,?DO?YOU?STILL?GET?A?LITTLE?SICK? With the flu vaccine, you should not even get a little bit sick, but just a reaction to the protein, which can make some people feel a little bad at times. But the vaccine symptoms should be very mild. You may become sore afterwards because it is the body’s reaction to the protein. WHAT?IS?THE?BEST?METHOD?FOR?VACCINATION? So far two methods: injection and intranasal, which is relatively new. The new option could be just as effective, it hasn’t been around long enough to show how effective it is. The nasal method is quite a bit more expensive because it is new, and probably as effective but will probably be a long time before we can say that with any level of confidence. WHAT?IS?SO?DEADLY?ABOUT?INFLUENZA? HOW?DOES?IT?KILL? The flu isn’t deadly for a normal healthy person. the reason why we have deaths is because a person is in a immuno-compromised state--elderly, cancer patients, children, etc. It’s really not the flu, it’s the complications of having the flu that can lead to death. The flu can lead to further diseases that can kill. WHY?DO?WE NEED?A?FLU?SHOT?INSTEAD?OF?USING?OUR?NATURAL?DEFENSES? Because of the fact that you can fight it off with the flu vaccine. and a full blown case of flu is not a small thing. there is a significant amount of discomfort, loss of work, loss of school. There is a tremendous amount of expense in missed school and miss work. A healthy person can just stay home and ride it out but they shouldn’t be at work or school spreading flu. It’s mostly a socio-economic issue, in addition to the discomfort. HOW?MANY?PEOPLE?COME?TO?YOU?EACH SEASON?FOR?A?FLU SHOT? A great deal, maybe 25 percent to 50 percent of his patients have come in for a flu vaccination. we have a lot of room for improvement. our patients will sometimes get vaccinated at an outside facility or at work. HOW?MANY?PEOPLE?DO?YOU?TREAT?EACH?YEAR?FOR?INFLUENZA? It varies; last year not so much, but this year a tremendous amount, at least 100. WHAT?WOULD?YOU?TELL?SOMEONE?WHO?DOUBTS?THE?EFFECTIVENESS?OF?A?FLU?SHOT? I would tell them that they could check the research online. They could check the CDC’s website and they are in charge fo the flu vaccine and it’s distribution. Start with the CDC website to see how safe and effective it is, that would be a good site to start.

Bird flu outbreak, ranchers panic http://t.co/CkJXVRg9 #H5N1 Sindonews.com - Some farmers in Malang, East Java was panicked with bird flu outbreaks in several areas.Even to anticipate the spread of the H5N1 virus to the farm, they give multiple doses of livestock poultry.Besides that, they are now beginning to routinely cleaning poultry cages. as in the chicken coop belonging Kelvin, Mendalawanwangi Village, District Wagir, Malang.Since a month ago he had given multiple vaccines to approximately 20 thousand chicken flocks. According to Kelvin, giving this vaccine to improve the immune chickens, which are not easily infected with bird flu virus.In addition, these measures will also reduce the mortality rate for chickens during the transition season to rainy season. "We have anticipated the spread of the virus by doubling the usual dose given," said Kelvin at his home, Thursday (13/12/2012). addition, every breeder cage cleaning routine use of formaldehyde as well as add chaff to keep the humidity stable. In a single harvest, the mortality rate is still normal breeder chickens which is approximately four to five percent of the total livestock.Whilst to date, the Office of farms Malang regency, East Java, not anticipate. Though bird flu outbreak has been observed in the city of Surabaya, Nganjuk, Kediri and Tulungagung. Link - Trackbacks

Did you know JP-8 jet fuel exposure suppresses the immune response to viral infections?- http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19022873?ordinalpos=1&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_DiscoveryPanel.Pubmed_Discovery_RA&linkpos=2&log$=relatedarticles&logdbfrom=pubmed So why are they spraying chemtrails or chemical contrails which block out natural sunlight? WHY are they doing this? If the World Health Organisation were so concerned about the swine flu pandemic they would be aware that natural sunlight is a very good source for the body to make vitamin D and would be concerned about the artificial cloud covering which is being created by aircraft now worldwide. My first videos in April 2009 started with the heavy chemtrail spraying in my area showing blue skies turn a hazy white blocking out the sun for the rest of the day. I know from users who contact me that there is a 24/7 campaign of chemical spraying in the atmosphere in the USA. From my research I found that chemicals could be added to aviation fuel. Please see my video: CHEMTRAILS CHEMICALS ADDED TO AVIATION FUEL GOVERNMENT DOCUMENT NOW ONLINE- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIPgdZcQUws For the DEFRA documents. DEFRA says chemicals added to aviation fuel can be a cost effective way to spray a so-called protective screen as to block out the suns rays and reduce global warming. ( This however would have an opposite effect. Please look up Global Dimming and the Hydrological Cycle on Google. ) BUT, is this really about protecting the earth or is it about stopping you receiving natural sunlight and making vitamin D? Vitamin D is important for helping the immune system fight the flu virus. One reason why the flu may be more contagious in the winter time is because of the lack of sunlight. The lack of sunlight prevents our skin from producing sufficient levels of vitamin D. There is now documented evidence about the roles of solar ultraviolet-B radiation and vitamin D in reducing case-fatality rates from the 1918-1918 influenza Pandemic in EU. I quote: There are two mechanisms whereby vitamin D can reduce the risk of death once the pandemic influenza virus infection took hold: reduced production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and reduced risk of bacterial pneumonia. The type of vitamin D which can fight viruses can ONLY be made from natural sunlight. It is known as D3, which is made from sunlight when 7-dehydrocholesterol in our skin reacts with UV light. I quote: It is then twice activated in the liver and kidney to make 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D. This attaches to receptors on genes that control their expression, which turn protein production on or off. Vitamin D regulates the expression of more than 1,000 genes throughout the body. They include genes in macrophages, cells in the immune system that, among other things, ATTACK AND DESTROY VIRUSES. A report in The Washington Post on August 3rd 2009 says: Millions of Children In U.S. are Found to Be Lacking Vitamin D- http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/08/02/AR2009080202114.html There are articles documenting that exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation in sunlight before immunization suppresses systemic as well as local immune responses- http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19450899?ordinalpos=6&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_DefaultReportPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum Which mean the vaccination doesnt work so well as a unsuppressed immune response is needed to build up anti-bodies and immunity to that particular vaccine. So another reason to block out the natural sunlight. If our governments were so concerned about the swine flu surely they would put a stop to these climate change experiments which blocks out everyones natural sunlight. The fact that they or the media will not even report on the chemtrails happening above us only leads me to be more suspicious of what the chemical spraying is really about.

"However, if the state is used to increase duck production in the country, it could be acceptable. However, it should be consistent," he said. According to Nidom,official statements seem concerned with the economic aspects than public health aspects. The government should give full authority to quarantine centers to check the birds that are outside of Indonesia (country of origin of imported poultry) or check each incoming birds. According Nidom, the government must determine whether the new virus has the potential to infect humans. According to him, Indonesia already has sophisticated laboratories and researchers Indonesia already qualified for such research. http://www.tempo.co/read/news/2012/12/13/090448029 Link - Trackbacks
