This week, concerns about swine flu have dominated the media and many government officials. While the American people should be made aware of infectious diseases and common sense preventative measures, much of the hysterical reaction from government only serves to remind us how detrimental to your health it can be when government plays doctor.As a physician, I have yet to see any evidence that justifies the current level of alarm. Influenza typically kills around 36,000 people every year in this country and hospitalizes a couple hundred thousand. So far there are only a handful of confirmed deaths attributable to this strain, and most of those sickened have or will fully recover. Every death is tragic, but I see no reason to deal with this flu outbreak any differently than we typically deal with any other flu season. Instead, government in its infinite wisdom is performing even more invasive screening at airports, closing down schools and sporting events, and causing general panic.We had a similar outbreak in 1976, with only 1 death from the flu, but mandatory vaccinations killed at least 25 before the program was abandoned.When government gets involved in healthcare decisions, the cure is so often worse than the illness. And yet, this administration will likely consolidate the government’s power over your health with sweeping new reforms that are already being discussed in the Senate. Ron Paul’s comments…..I agree with him…..

“They” create the problem, convince us so that we preceive something as a threat, convince us through repetition, mind control techniques, we react in fear, trust them and look to the government for the solution, they provide their solution, and the solution is something we would would never agree to unless under duress. It ends in a loss of our liberty and more governmental control over the people, which is exactly what they want.

So far it is really helping me, healing conditions I have had for years. Cleared and ear infection with high fever in two days, endless foot infection --gone in a week. This will be much safer than the vaccine. Read up on it. Protect yourself. Just found out that tea and extract from olive leaves is very potent against viruses, fungi, and bacteria.

Fear mongering is an important aspect of the media, sells more news papers and get’s you to tune into news channels. Whether the media knows or not it also plays well with the governments agenda to keep you afraid. Fear eventually breeds a population of weak unsuspecting people who will allow the government to take more control over there lives. The government simply has to promise a safer world, safer environments, and safer health care and so on. So the fearful say yes safety, security this is what we need because I am afraid let the government take control over it. But the process doesn’t provide you with anymore safety than what you already have, in fact it removes freedoms that you once had. These freedoms that we have insure our safety not the other way around.About this flu or any other germ or disease it’s all about the immune system and proper medical care when needed. If you spent your whole life in a sterilized environment then stepped out side into the real world for a while you would get very sick because your immune system needs practice. The immune system gets stronger threw practice without germs for your immune system to practice on it will become weak. Don’t use hand sanitizers it’s proven that just good old soap and water is better. Keeping sanitized all the time doesn’t improve your immune system at all.Products to kill gems and sanitize this and sanitize that are big sellers, you buy them out of fear of getting sick. Yes we must keep hygiene, we must wash. You don’t want to live in utter filth as this can cause a detriment to your health as well but you also don’t want to live in perfectly sterilized environment ether. Simply we need germs to stay healthy or in the very least to keep our immune systems in good working order. The more fearful a population is the better it can be manipulated.

I have read where you can take 1000-5000 milligrams of vitamin C a day and if you get sick your body can tolerate up to 10 times that amount. You will know if you are taking to much if you get diarhea. If you do just cut back on the dosage. With vitamin E you can take 400 units and vitamin D you should take around 4000 units a day and when sick you can take 50,000 units a day until you feel better.
