Educating Yourself About the Swine Flu and Shot Part III

(Last of three parts of article written for the Brentwood Press)

Natural ways to build immunity

There are always going to be threats of flu pandemics, real or not. If you want to break free of the drugs and shots controversy, you may consider that there are ways you can protect yourself through informed lifestyle choices to keep your immune system functioning optimally year-round.


In fact, virologists aren’t scared of this year’s strain; their answers to a poll by the British science magazine The New Scientist shows that what they personally were doing is NOTHING. They are not getting vaccinated.

The following steps have been recommended to help keep you and your immune system strong:

Proper nutrition: Eat fresh whole foods as much as possible.

Supplementation: Vitamin D and good quality omega-3s are thought to be effective.
Avoid sugar and processed foods; these not only give you no nutritional boost, they actually compromise your immune system.
Manage stress, whether physical, mental, or environmental
Get adequate sleep.
Maintain a positive mental attitude.
Wash your hands often and avoid contact with nose, mouth, eyes.
Exercise enough to sweat. Sweating helps to detox the body through the skin, its largest organ.


Conclusion

Natural News reports that public support for this vaccination is waning as more facts are exposed. Legal action against the FDA’s approval of the shots is already taking place, and recent mainstream polls show that more than 50 percent of mothers are refusing to vaccinate their kids. A CBS News poll in October 2009 found that only 46 percent were going for vaccination. (6)
The bottom line here is that yes, tragically, people will get sick and some will die. People who are sick to begin with or have immunosuppressed systems will be at greater risk of illness because when the amount of “dis-ease” in the body is too much, the body becomes overwhelmed and then disease sets in.

Are we truly helping the body by taking away a mild illness that through normal healing processes will allow the body to get stronger? Is it worth the risk to millions of people to be vaccinated with a questionable product in order to protect the few that may, unfortunately, die of H1N1?

In other words, it is suggested that you educate yourself on what you put into your body so that you are aware of the risks you take either direction that you go.
