H1N1~ Really people get a grip!

“A world health official said the first vaccines are expected in September and October. The United States expects to begin testing on some volunteers in August, with 160 million doses ready in October.” AP News 7-25-2009

“Following immunization, safety will be measured by assessment of adverse events... for 21 days following the last vaccination; serious adverse events (SAEs) and new-onset chronic medical conditions for 6 months post the final vaccination (Day 180 after second vaccination). http://clinicaltrials.gov/show/NCT00944073”

My note about the above paragraphs, yes, they will be monitoring for chronic conditions, but how many millions of people will have already taken this vaccine?!?! Will you? Will you give it to your children without knowing the potential for danger?

"CNN reports that drug maker GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) on Wednesday announced how the company's antiviral drug Relenza experienced a major sales boost as "governments around the world stockpiled in preparation for a swine flu pandemic ... Glaxo also said that by the end of the year, it expects to have an annual production capacity for Relenza of 190 million treatment courses, more than a threefold increase to its previously announced maximum capacity," CNN writes (7/23).”
My note, convenient, that we are scared so easily. The big pharma companies are completely cashing in!

"Let's not beat around the bush on this issue: The swine flu vaccines now being prepared for mass injection into infants, children, teens and adults have never been tested and won't be tested before the injections begin. In Europe, where flu vaccines are typically tested on hundreds (or thousands) of people before being unleashed on the masses, the European Medicines Agency is allowing companies to skip the testing process entirely.And yet, amazingly, people are lining up to take the vaccine, absent any safety testing whatsoever. When the National Institutes of Health in the U.S. announced a swine flu vaccine trial beginning in early August, it was inundated with phone calls and emails from people desperate to play the role of human guinea pigs. The power of fear to herd sheeple (sheep-like people) into vaccine injections is simply amazing...” Naturalnews.com

My note: Let’s step back and think about this. Testing (albeit limited) will begin in the USA this month. Then by October there will be 160 million doses ready. That means that the vaccine is already in production. Do you really think there is going be a no-pass on this testing? And, obviously, we aren’t even going to know the long term effects of this vaccine if the testing is starting in August and they have announced its availability already. The FDA has already green-lit this vaccine. Doesn’t this scare you? Do you even know how many drugs have been approved by the FDA and later recalled? I do, since 2004 at least 21 drugs and 6 vaccines have been recalled. In 2007, Merck (a pharmaceutical manufacturer) had their infant vaccine pulled from the market (the HiB vaccine) for contamination issues. Read more here: http://www.fda.gov/BiologicsBloodVaccines/SafetyAvailability/Recalls/ucm053289.htm and so far in 2009 Wyeth had their Prevnar Pneumococcal vaccine pulled and Novartis has has their FluVirin vaccine pulled off the market.

Are we getting any vaccines this fall? No. What ever will we do to try to maintain our health? Simple, eat whole foods, that means stuff the way God created it, not out of boxes or bags or with chemicals. We’ll be eating fresh and mostly organic fruits and veggies and LOTS of them. We’ll be eating meats that are from free-range, antibiotic and hormone free animals. We’ll be drinking water and herbal teas, not sodas with high fructose corn syrup. We’ll be taking our supplements (vitamins) and getting our vitamin D levels check in our blood so we can be sure we are getting enough vitamin D. It has been proven effective in the reduction of influenza, cancer, heart disease, strokes, autoimmune disorders, rickets…

“Vitamin D malnutrition may also be linked to an increased susceptibility to several chronic diseases such as high blood pressure, tuberculosis, cancer, periodontal disease, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, seasonal affective disorder [32][33], peripheral artery disease[34], cognitive impairment which includes memory loss and foggy brain,[35] and several autoimmune diseases including type 1 diabetes (see role in immunomodulation).[8][21] There is an association between low vitamin D levels and Parkinson's disease, but whether Parkinson's causes low vitamin D levels, or whether low vitamin D levels play a role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease has not been established.[36] A resurgence of interest in vitamin D deficiency has led to continued studies on the topic and a focus on educating the consumer on the prevalence and degree of deficiency among the general public.[ A 2006 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, reported evidence of a link between Vitamin D deficiency and the onset of multiple sclerosis; the authors posit that this is due to the immune-response suppression properties of Vitamin D.[58] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_D
