H1N1 Flu – What Is Your Defense To Live Healthy Part I
By Denette Casey
What is the H1N1 Flu? Let’s talk about what it is and how you can arm yourself against it.
The influenza A virus subtype H1N1, also known as A(H1N1) or the swine flu, is a subtype of influenza virus A and the most common cause of influenza (flu) in humans. Some strains of H1N1 are endemic in humans, including the strain(s) responsible for the 1918 flu pandemic which killed 50-100 million people worldwide.
This new virus was first detected in people in the United States in April 2009. This virus is spreading from person-to-person worldwide, probably in much the same way that regular seasonal influenza viruses spread.
This virus was originally referred to as “swine flu” because laboratory testing showed that many of the genes in this new virus were very similar to influenza viruses that normally occur in pigs (swine) in North America. But further study has shown that this new virus is very different from what normally circulates in North American pigs. It has two genes from flu viruses that normally circulate in pigs in Europe and Asia and bird (avian) genes and human genes. Scientists call this a "quadruple resistant" virus.
Spread of 2009 H1N1 virus is thought to occur in the same way that seasonal flu spreads. Flu viruses are spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing by people with influenza. Sometimes people may become infected by touching something – such as a surface or object – with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose.
Can I get 2009 H1N1 more than once?
Getting infected with any influenza virus, including 2009 H1N1, should cause your body to develop immune resistance to that virus so it's not likely that a person would be infected with the identical influenza virus more than once. However, people with weakened immune systems might not develop full immunity after infection and might be more likely to get infected with the same influenza virus more than once.
However, it's also possible that a person could have a positive test result for flu infection more than once in an influenza season. This can occur for two reasons:
1. A person may be infected with different influenza viruses (for example, the first time with 2009 H1N1 and the second time with a regular seasonal flu virus. Most rapid tests cannot distinguish which influenza virus is responsible for the illness.
2. Influenza tests can occasionally give false positive and false negative results so it's possible that one of the test results were incorrect. This is more likely to happen when the diagnosis is made with the rapid flu tests. More information about flu diagnosis is available at http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/diagnosis/.
Your Best Defense against H1N1
The best way to be protected from any flu including the H1N1 live virus/
Swine flu is to have a healthy immune system by living a natural, earth
Connected way of being, which includes: organic, plant-source-only foods. Supplements to use include nano-silver, vitamin C, A, and D, medicinal immune building mushrooms, herbs and specific aromatherapy oils.
It is very important first to fast and detox your body. Rid yourself of toxic waste in your colon to clean out and help build up your immune system. Clean out your colon with a good laxative. Give your body a good rest and put only the healthiest fruits and vegetables in your body.
Sugar is one of the major killers of our immune system. It leaves your body with no defense to fight. The colon must be flushed out also to rid us of processed foods and undigested foods. The colon is a toxic tank that fosters parasites and toxins if not cleaned out regularly. Many undigested foods just sits there and can cause serious problems if one is not cleansing and detox regularly.
Plenty of water must be taken (preferably ionic water or distilled water. They both have less contaminant in them that would normally harbor bacteria. If neither is available, boil your water for at least 10 to 15 minutes at the highest level from your stove. Do not use a microwave oven period. This kills your white T-cells, which is your immune system. Without a high T-cell count, your body can’t live.
Vitamins
Vitamins play a supplemental role to boost our immune system. Physicians of
The State of Arizona Board of Homeopathic and Integrated Medicine Society
Have found that usually one to three Vitamin C IV’s of 50,000 milligrams will
Give 100% relief from this or any flu in the instance one actually gets the flu.
Other effective treatments include nano-silvers and the oxygen treatment
therapy (OTT). Oxygen kills germs and bacteria.
Colloidal silver is in liquid drops, can be found in the health food stores. It kills
over 650 diseases and conditions. This is safe and a less expensive simple, and
more effective treatment as compared to Tamiflu, although supposedly designed
for the anti-viral effect. It is a psychotropic drug that has significant brain and
nervous system side effects which are toxic and debilitating.
These healthy approaches have been historically proven to be far more safe
and effective than generated vaccines, which have truly never been scientifically proven to be either safe or effective except for building the economic pockets
of the vaccine companies.
You Are What You Eat
Focus on eating live organic foods, which are your fruits and vegetables with seeds. Organic foods are grown with the absence of pesticides and harmful chemicals. Therefore, this will not pass on diseases and conditions like cancer diabetes and any condition that would weaken the immune system.
It is important to eat fruits and vegetables with seeds in them because they will protect your immune system by building up our white T-cells. You get that from live organic fruits and vegetables. Fruits that are high in antioxidant can only be found in fruits and vegetable with seeds. Seedless fruits and vegetables are hybrid grown. They are developed first in laboratories, but have no antiviral phytonutrients for building up the immune system while eliminating free radicals. They in fact, have a high content of artificial sugars and decreases bone density while increasing the chances of arthritis. Free radicals lower our autoimmune response in our body.
Berries and Fruits
Berries and a variety of fruits with seeds are high in antioxidants and fiber which builds the immune system. Know your source of these live foods to get the maximum benefit for your body’s immunity building strength.
Eating as much of raw fruits and vegetables will maintain their high vitamin content.
Using a pressure cooker will maintain a high content of your vegetables nutrition.
Meat in the diet should not be a daily option unless you are eating hormone free or organic fed animals. Unless you know the source of where your meat was processed such as Whole Foods or you farm raised your meat and produce, be aware of your food sources. This includes your fruits and vegetables.
Nuts
Nuts in the diet have strong benefits to increasing our health. In 2003, the FDA recognized the benefits of nuts and their role in heart disease prevention by approving a health claim for seven kinds of nuts. These nuts were approved as they are the only kinds that contain less than 4g of saturated fats per 50g.
Nuts are one of the best plant sources of protein. They are rich in fiber phytonutrients and antioxidants such as vitamin E and selenium. Nuts are high in plant sterols and fats- but mostly monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats (omega 3 –have good fats which have all been shown to lower LDL cholesterol. People that eat nuts regularly have lower risks of heart disease.
Be informed take the necessary steps to live healthy and be healthy. We must be educated about our health. Arm yourselves and defend your immune system. Without it…..there is no life.
It’s your choice to be proactive and choose life or death in protecting your body.
Take the necessary steps to boost you and your family’s immune system. Ignorance
Is not an option if you choose a healthy, happy life of longevity.

H1N1 Swine Flu Facts What Are Your Thoughts Vaccinate or Not To Vaccinate?
H1N1-Swine Flu Facts
What Are Your Thoughts Vaccinate or Not To Vaccinate?
The influenza A virus subtype H1N1, also known as A(H1N1) or the swine flu, is a subtype of influenza virus A and the most common cause of influenza (flu) in humans. Some strains of H1N1 are endemic in humans, including the strain(s) responsible for the 1918 flu pandemic which killed 50-100 million people worldwide.

Here is some information on vaccination. What are Your Thoughts?
Vaccines have little or no effect on preventing or minimizing the flu.
The science by our own CDC (Center of Disease Control) shows that flu vaccines are somewhere between 0-14% effective. Research in Israel shows they are 1% effective with a general lowering of the immune system. In general, the most thorough analysis on all the flu vaccine data was reported in the British Medical Journal article entitled Influenza Vaccination:
Policy Versus Evidence, which gives evidence from a systematic review based on a met analysis of all the research showing that, “inactivated vaccines have little or no effect on the effects measured.”
The paper states most studies are of poor methodological quality and little comparative evidence exists on the safety of these vaccines. It shows that in children under 2 years, inactivated vaccines had the same field efficacy as placebo.
Similar results were found in an article from The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. 2 (2008), titled, Vaccines for Preventing Influenza in Healthy Children where review of 51 studies involving more than 294,000 children, found there was “no evidence that injecting children 6-24 months of age with a flu shot was any more effective than placebo.” In children over 2 yrs, it was effective 33% of the time in preventing the flu.
Your opinion counts. Get the facts. Be informed about your health and the health of your family.
The only way to stop the spread of the epidemic is to spread the awareness!

Is God Your Doctor- Your Pharmacist - Your Healer?
Is God Your Doctor- Your Pharmacist - Your Healer?
God Has The Prescription For Your Health
If we follow God's plan for our health many things we are dealing with can be prevented or reversed. The scriptures are real clear as to progress with long life.
Prosper And Be In Good Health that is the mandate God has on our lives.
But are you following God’s prescription for your health? Have you heeded the warning labels? Did you detour from the side effects and yield God’s mandate?
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 (Read all 3 John 1)
What good is it to gain the world and lose your soul? What earthly good is it to prosper and have bad health? What good is it to live a partial life of half your steps ordered by God when God has ordered our full steps?
Well, our focus is our health. To be or not to be? That is the question. Do you want to be accountable for good health or bad health? With better than good or good health, we will continue to honor our Father and His temple to what is pleasing in his sight as He blesses us to have long life.
If your health is fair to midlin’ bad or moving to a point of no return, I am hear to let you know God is our doctor, our pharmacist but most of all he is a healer! There is healing in God’s word and his food.
Much is given to many of us, just as much is required. Many of us have not hit our mark because our bodies are not holding up to God’s standards. God has given us a life prescription for good health but yet we refuse to fill it. How do I know? Well, just look around us, from our family and friends, to our neighbors to our churches. People are missing the mark.
The health of many people is sick…..sick….sick.. Yet God is saying: Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. This means be well, well, well! You will be able to make the right choices for your life. With a sound mind and heart with strength and wisdom you shall hear my voice. Dream dreams of the things I have planned for you. Make sound decisions because of our relationship and your instinct to feel my every move and hear my footprints on your life.
Do you believe your health is your wealth? In case you are not in agreement, ask someone who has taken their health for granted. Those in pain, have inflammation and diseased. Those who have violated their temple by not eating or drinking right nor exercising. It is the number one thing that God giveth. Life and to have it more abundantly. LIFE! LIFE! LIFE! It means to Live In Faith Everyday.
First, let deal with some healing scriptures. Walk with me through the word as God fills our prescription for life, health and wealth.
Genesis 1:29 - And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb
bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every
tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you
it shall be for meat.
Exodus 15:26
He said, "If you listen carefully to the voice of the LORD your God and do what is right in his eyes, if you pay attention to his commands and keep all his decrees, I will not bring on you any of the diseases I brought on the Egyptians, for I am the LORD, who heals you."
Lev 3:17 This is a permanent law throughout the land that you shall eat neither fat nor blood.
Prov 23:20 Oh my son be wise and stay in God’s path; don’t carouse with drunkards and gluttons, for they are on their way to poverty. ...
Can You honestly exam yourself on eating to live and not living to eat? Is your body in line with the scriptures? Let's talk about it.

Herbs From The Bible - The Healing Power
Herbs From The Bible has the power to heal, repair and regnerate the body.
I am a living testament of what they do. Synthetic drugs is not what God designed for our bodies. Natural herbs, minerals and essential oils are the keys to life!
God knew we would encounter illnesses and bad eating habits. which is the key to decreased health. Did you know the older we get the better our bodies should be? Think about how long people lived in biblical times compared to today. Now, this is the key to increased health.
We all can learn from the examples of living from the Bible. To turn from what we are doing wrong today and reconnect to a better lifestyle of eating and living. We must eat to live!
Many herbs, vegetables, and perennials are mentioned in the bible. My health blog will help you to study a few of them in detail. The word says study to show ourselves approved.
For the lack of knowledge people perish. We can't do better if we don't know better.
Take this information and have dialogue with others. Look up information to see where they are found in the bible. The connection to healing has not been the focus and has literally been overlooked. I believe this to be because many are looking for answers to their current challenges. Not understanding that our health and food can be contributing factors to life obstacles, decisions we make and the lack of wisdom to make right decisions.
A good diet can help to eliminate stresses and pressures of life which aides to better wisdom, judgement and focus.
Herbs, are God’s medicine and is God’s gift to man on planet Earth for his health, and wellness.
People who lived in Jesus's time were wonderful herbalists! They used the herbs not only for food, but to flavor food and also for medicinal purposes. They did not visit the doctor around the corner at the hospital. Read HEBREWS 6:7
We know that biblical people set aside plots specifically for herbs: read 1 KINGS 21:2
When the children of Israel wandered into the desert and received manna from heaven it was described as what? Read NUMBERS 11:7-9
Hyssop was often referred to as the herb used in purification: read PSALMS 51:7
It was also used to prevent blood from coagulating which may explain why the Jews in Egypt were told to use it at the time of the Passover: read EXODUS 12:22
The medicinal use of Hyssop can be found in read JOHN 19:29-30
Solomon must have been a very wise for in proof of his wisdom this passage can be found: read 1 KINGS 4:33
The biblical hyssop -the plant which is called hyssopus officinalis- is native to southern Europe but not to the Holy Land or to Egypt- therefore the hyssop that we grow is not the one from the bible. That one could have been -according to bible authorities- marjoram, the caper plant, sorghum, the maidenhair spleenwort or the wallrue.
Mint was well known as being used for flavoring food as it still is today. Some bible experts say mint was among the "bitter herbs" mentioned in Exodus 12:8 and Numbers 9:11 along with leaves of endive, chicory, lettuce, watercress, sorrel, and dandelions. All of these eaten as a salad. Mint was eaten after eating as a form of digestive aiding.
Parsley although not mentioned in the bible was abundant and was used at the passover as a symbol of a new beginning because it was one of the first herbs to pop up in the spring. The Romans served it at banquets as a breath freshener. Another passage reflecting the bitter herbs is EXODUS 12:8 and also NUMBERS 9:11.
I look forward to sharing with you and hearing from you to share your testamonies.
