Flu Alert: 10 Warning Signs to Call the Doctor

Melanie Haiken, Caring.com
I know we’re all anxious about swine flu this season, but the truth is that for most people, the flu–no matter what type of flu it is–doesn’t pose a serious danger. Colds and flu normally cause what doctors like to refer to as “self-limited” illness–this means you feel sick but eventually get better on your own. Typically there’s really no point in calling the doctor, because antibiotics don’t work on flu since it’s caused by a virus. Anti-viral medications, such as Tamiflu, aren’t usually necessary to recover.
In some cases, though, the flu develops into something more dangerous, such as pneumonia or other complications.

Any form of flu spreads at 90% rate when the living quarters are contained. It is well known that those who attend boarding school are 90% likely to get a flu virus compared to 20% chance if in a normal state school.
Students in university halls of res are more likely to contract a flu than living in a shared house.
It therefore goes that the likelyhood of getting a fly virus on a ship is high.
I lived in close proximity to others recently many of whom had swine flu but I showed no signs of any flu.

Teil,
I got the information from this message

7. Navy has threatened all the spouses of the ship's crew to remain silent claiming all this information is classified. Some are whistle-blowing and that is where this information is coming from.
8. On the unnamed aircraft carrier that provided assistance, 415 sailors contracted the swine flu and are currently quarantined onboard.
The truth is that the swine flu epidemic will be created BY THE VACCINE.If we don't take it, there will be no epidemic.
From this one test, it's apparent that the vaccine as tested on that ship's crew in April is 96% effective at infecting the recipient with swine flu.
Such an infection rate is impossible to achieve by any natural means.
Though it only killed 1% immediately, there is no telling what the long term effects on those injected with the vaccine will be.
See the research on the long term effects of the 1976 swine flu vaccine, and the Gulf War anthrax vaccine programs for more information.
Also note that mere contact with those that have been vaccinated creates a 20% chance of you contracting the swine flu even if you have not been vaccinated.

Teil,
I got the information from this message :
Vital data about US Navy results of swine flu vaccine on ships # http://labvirus.wordpress.com/?s=naval+vessel
Courtesy of Bob Chapman of The International Forecaster. Data gleaned indirectly from anonymous testimony of Navy wives of the affected crew via the internet radio show A Marine Disquisition http://www.clipser.com/watch_video/1362067 :
1. Unnamed US Navy vessel put to sea in April with 347 man crew.
2. Entire crew was vaccinated with H1N1 Swine Flu vaccine shortly after they put to sea.
3. Crew sickened so severely that other ships had to respond to render aid. 16 Medical Dr.s put aboard from an unnamed aircraft carrier and other responding vessels. Total of 50 Navy personnel sent aboard to respond to crisis.
4. Two of the crew of 347 died including the Captain of the ship (a Lieutenant Commander) and a Chief Petty Officer.
5. 50 personnel sent aboard to help are quarantined in Navy hospital in Balboa, Spain after 10 of them caught the flu from the ship's crew. Two of the 50 quarantined are in serious condition at last report.
6. Of the 347 man crew that were vaccinated, 333 contracted the H1N1 flu FROM THE VACCINE. Two died, as mentioned above, and 331 survived. Only 14 of the 347 vaccinated sailors did not show any ill effects from the vaccine.
7. Navy has threatened all the spouses of the ship's crew to remain silent claiming all this information is classified. Some are whistle-blowing and

The vaccine often brings on horrible flu cases which can become contagious. Further, the nasal spray vaccine uses a live virus which IS contagious. If there is wide spread vaccination, the rate of illness will go up, possibly causing a very high rate of illness. This is what happened in 1918 with the infamous flu that gets used to scare people into submission.

Lydia, where do you get the idea that the Vaccine will "Cause" a pandemic?
Vaccine Injections do not contain live samples of the virus. It is not possible to 'catch' the flu from the injection. It is still possible for a person, having had the shot, to catch a different strain of flu. It is possible for anyone, immunized or not, to be exposed to the virus, and then expose others. That is how the flu gets around.
As for the Mercury content, what I've read indicates that only multi-injection dose vials have any significant amount of the Thimerosal preservative [the only source of ethylmercury].
That said, I believe that use of vaccines should be limited to those who are at high risk of serious complications, and those who interact extensively with High-risk people.
I believe that if people who do catch a flu virus would stay home [and they were supported by employers to do so] the spread of viruses would be slowed. Basic precautions like hand-washing and coughing/sneezing into our sleeves, rather than others faces, or our hands, would also help.

Lydia,
You are absolutely correct. However, the discussion has been too short-sighted. Given the fraudulent nature of the pandemic and the danger of the vaccine, the real question becomes Why are these governments trying to impose this on us? It is not just that Big Pharma stands to make a mega-mint and the government has already bought and paid for these vaccines. I believe it goes much deeper. The government is not as stupid as it acts--from the public's perspective that is. There are some nefarious motives going on here. If people open their minds and really connect the dots, what is clear is that the people of the world have been, and are being assaulted with toxic foods, toxic drugs, mandated vaccines, taxes and criminality for childbearing (eg. see China), imposition of malnutrition on many of the world's people and the list goes on. The Club of Rome over 30 yrs ago created the over-population mythology and has developed the propaganda spin about insufficient food to feed the world;s people. However, Codex is about controlling the population and creating starvation and malnutrition and stupidity (flouride in water). The eugenisists are looking to do away with 90% of the population of the world. And fearmongering with mandated vaccines primes the people for what worse is coming.

The truth is that the swine flu epidemic will be created BY THE VACCINE.If we don't take it, there will be no epidemic.I don't know how true this all is but it seems clear there is great cause for concern This vaccie seems to include mercury, which we are told is very dangerous even though they make us use low energy bulbs which has it, plus also a chemical which is know to cause neurological problems. It also seems true that the Pharaceutical compnaies are immune against any legal acyion for compensation if things go wrong.I am also very concerned that the amount or so called testing has been very short and they cannot possibly know what the real effects is going to be in the long term. Swine flu is actually not more dangerous than normal flu and certainly not worth the risk of using dubious chemicals in my body.Also note that mere contact with those that have been vaccinated creates a 20% chance of you contracting the swine flu even if you have not been vaccinated. The truth is that the swine flu epidemic will be created BY THE VACCINE."

I agree with Sharon. Those are good web sites she mentions.
I took 5000 IU Vit D3 last winter and it made a big difference in my SAD. This year I am upping it to 10,000 IU daily. In the summer I dropped it down as I get more sun.
Adults need a minimum of 2000-2500 IU daily and often more with weakened immune systems.
Vit C: I take 3-4000 daily as a healthy dose. I gave my granddaughter 1 gram daily as a maintenance dose when she was your son's age. At 13, I give her 2-3000 mg when she visits even though she gets daily doses.
And good for you standing up for your son

Amy,
1000mg would be the very least amount. In northern climates, like mine, I use at least 3000 a day. There's a website, I think it's www.vitamindcouncil.org that has advice and also Dr. Blaylock, Dr. Mercola and www.naturalnews.com all have Vit D info.
