Who Admits to Releaseing Pandemic Virus
Isn't this great! :(
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/09/03/WHO-Admits-to-Releasing-Pandemic-Virus-into-Population-via-MockUp-Vaccines.aspx
The document on the WHO website linked below states that it is common procedure to release pandemic viruses into the population in order to get a jump ahead of the real pandemic, so as to fast track the vaccine for when it is needed.
In Europe, some manufacturers have conducted advance studies using a so-called "mock-up" vaccine. Mock-up vaccines contain an active ingredient for an influenza virus that has not circulated recently in human populations and thus mimics the novelty of a pandemic virus.
According to the website, "Such advance studies can greatly expedite regulatory approval."

World Health Organization ( http://www.who.int/csr/disease/swineflu/notes/h1n1_safety_vaccines_20090805/en/index.html )
Dr. Mercola's Comments:
On June 11 the World Health Organization (WHO) raised its swine flu pandemic alert from a 5 to a 6. Phase 6 is the highest level alert, and reflects the speed with which a virus is spreading -- not its severity.
This classification also allows for a vaccine to qualify for a "fast-track" procedure for licensing and approval, and this process is now ongoing for the swine flu vaccine.
What you may not know, however, is that WHO, together with health officials, regulatory authorities and vaccine manufacturers, have been working since 2007 - long before this new "threat" of swine flu emerged - to "explore a broad range of issues surrounding the regulatory approval of pandemic vaccines."
According to the WHO website:
"Ways were sought to shorten the time between the emergence of a pandemic virus and the availability of safe and effective vaccines."
One such method used in Europe is to conduct advance studies using a "mock-up" vaccine that contains an active ingredient for an influenza virus that has not circulated recently in human populations.
When testing these mock-up vaccines, it is very possible to release the novel influenza virus into the population, as its purpose is to "mimic the novelty of a pandemic virus" and "greatly expedite regulatory approval."
Government officials have other tricks up their sleeves to ensure these new, barely tested vaccines easily make it to market as well, such as:
Labeling the vaccine a "strain change" rather than an entirely "new" vaccine. This method states the new vaccine has built on technology used to produce vaccines for seasonal influenza, and the change for the pandemic vaccine is similar to a strain change used to produce a new seasonal vaccine each flu season.
In the United States, vaccine manufacturers are required to submit fewer data if they already have a licensed flu vaccine and will use the same manufacturing process for the pandemic vaccine.
Using a "rolling review procedure." This allows manufacturers to submit sets of data for regulatory review "as they become available." In other words, they're free to distribute the vaccine and then submit the safety data later on.
Would You Want a Fast-Tracked Vaccine Injected Into Your Body?
By very definition, fast-tracked vaccines are those that have received very little safety testing prior to being used. So any time you agree to get one, you are essentially a guinea pig.
Vaccine manufacturer GlaxoSmithKline has actually stated:
"Clinical trials will be limited, due to the need to provide the vaccine to governments as quickly as possible. Additional studies will therefore be required and conducted after the vaccine is made available."
And WHO likewise says:
"Time constraints mean that clinical data at the time when pandemic vaccines are first administered will inevitably be limited. Further testing of safety and effectiveness will need to take place after administration of the vaccine has begun."
Why would anyone who knows the facts sign up for a vaccine that really needs further safety studies . but won't receive them until AFTER it's already been given out? By then it will be too late.
So please realize that if you or your child receive a swine flu vaccine, you will be acting as a TEST subject.
Remember this vaccine will not be made using the methods of the past. In order to speed up the cultivation of the virus and the manufacturing process, they're using human liver cells instead of chicken eggs. Whether this new procedure is better or worse than the old method, I can't say . but it's never been used before and they have not had time to conduct any human testing.
So, it's a giant game of Russian Roulette that you simply want to avoid.
Nearly all of the vaccines created will also include thimerosal (mercury), and the toxic adjuvant squalene, both of which have been clearly shown to carry significant health risks.
You should know, too, that vaccine makers and federal officials have been rendered immune from lawsuits. Should anything go wrong with this current vaccine they will not have to pay a single cent to anyone !
Who Stands to Benefit From the Swine Flu Pandemic (and Future Pandemics)?
This is the question you need to ask yourself when you hear the media dishing out the latest statistics about the swine flu pandemic.
In the last few days alone, I've seen major news outlets warning that come flu season, the swine flu could kill 90,000 Americans and hospitalize 2 million. This sounds a lot like the fear-mongering that went on during the Bird Flu pandemic (that never materialized) back in 2005 .
Back then scientists and governments were congratulating themselves for averting a threat that never was by stockpiling worthless vaccines. Now I'm having déjà vu.
In response to this newest swine flu pandemic, what did the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently suggest?
Swine flu shots for all! Of course, what else would you expect?
As the Washington Post reported, CDC said: "As soon as a vaccine is available, try to get it for everyone in your family."
Well, you might be tempted to do just that if you believe the sensational number of swine flu deaths they're predicting. But, really, these numbers are not based on facts.
WHO continues to define the severity of the H1N1 virus to be moderate, generally defined as an illness requiring neither hospitalization nor even medical care. Most cases are having MILD symptoms that clear up on their own.
Further, no one really knows for sure just how many cases of swine flu there are, because some countries are no longer confirming them by lab.
In the UK, for example, they now appear to be collecting swine flu data online and via the phone, based on nothing but self-assessment.
So did they really contract the swine flu?
Or did the vast majority of them simply have a case of the sniffles or a seasonal flu bug? Without laboratory confirmation, no one will ever know, but they sure are using those numbers to scare you!
Going back to my original question though, you must ask yourself who stands to benefit from all of this paranoia and hysteria.
Of course you know the answer to this one.
Big Pharma . which stands to gain up to $49 billion a year on the swine flu vaccine alone plus an infinite amount on top of that for future pandemic vaccines.
The vaccine manufacturers would love for every man, woman, and child to heed the CDC's advice to get vaccinated. But now you know better.
The swine flu is typically a mild illness.
The swine flu vaccine has not been tested for safety or efficacy, but we DO know it will contain harmful additives.
The choice, to me, is obvious. And in the future, anytime a new "pandemic" appears and officials urge you to rush out and get a shot, please remember this article and ask yourself if it's really you who stands to benefit from their advice.

Staying Healthy in The Midst of a Pandemic
Dr. Mercola gave this wise information on his web-site about how to stay healthy in the midst of a pandemic.
In the meantime, the following 10 steps will typically be all you need to stay healthy, even in the midst of a pandemic:
Optimize your vitamin D levels.
Optimizing your vitamin D levels is one of the absolute best strategies for avoiding infections of ALL kinds, and vitamin D deficiency is likely the TRUE culprit behind the seasonality of the flu -- not the flu virus itself.
This is probably the single most important and least expensive action you can take. I would STRONGLY urge you to have your vitamin D level monitored to confirm your levels are therapeutic at 50-70 ng/ml and done by a reliable vitamin D lab like Lab Corp.
If you are coming down with flu-like symptoms and have not been on vitamin D you can take doses of 50,000 units a day for three days to treat the acute infection. Some researchers like Dr. Cannell, believe the dose could even be as high as 1000 units per pound of body weight for three days.
However, most of Dr. Cannell's work was with seasonal and not pandemic flu. If your body has never been exposed to the antigens there is chance that the vitamin D might not work.
The best bet is to maintain healthy levels of vitamin D around 60 ng/ml.
It is recommended that the daily dose of vitamin D3 for over 12 years of age (or large children) take 5,000IU daily and children under 12 take 2,000IU. Costco has a good vitamin D3 (2,00Iu per caplsule)-very small gel capsules-even a child can swallow it. I personally take 3 daily=6,000IU. Costco also sells a liquid vitamin D3. Do what you ffel is right for your family.
Avoid Sugar and Processed Foods. Sugar decreases the function of your immune system almost immediately, and as you likely know, a strong immune system is key to fighting off viruses and other illness.
Get Enough Rest. Just like it becomes harder for you to get your daily tasks done if you're tired, if your body is overly fatigued it will be harder for it to fight the flu. rest.
Use Effective Tools to Address Stress. We all face some stress every day, but if stress becomes overwhelming then your body will be less able to fight off the flu and other illness.
If you feel that stress is taking a toll on your health, consider using a tool such as the Meridian Tapping Technique (MTT), which is remarkably effective in relieving stress associated with all kinds of events, from work to family to trauma.
Exercise. When you exercise, you increase your circulation and your blood flow throughout your body. The components of your immune system are also better circulated, which means your immune system has a better chance of finding an illness before it spreads.
Take a high-quality source of animal-based omega-3 fats like Krill Oil. It is also vitally important to avoid damaged omega-6 oils that are in trans fats and processed foods as it will seriously damage your immune response.
Wash Your Hands. Washing your hands will decrease your likelihood of spreading a virus to your nose, mouth or other people. Be sure you don't use antibacterial soap for this -- antibacterial soaps are completely unnecessary, and they cause far more harm than good. Also be careful not to over-wash your hands, which can damage your skin and allow an entryway for pathogens.
Eat Garlic Regularly. Garlic works like a broad-spectrum antibiotic against bacteria, virus, and protozoa in the body. And unlike with antibiotics, no resistance can be built up so it is an absolutely safe product to use. However, if you are allergic or don't enjoy garlic it would be best to avoid as it will likely cause more harm than good.
Avoid Hospitals and Vaccines. In the case of swine flu, I recommend you stay away from hospitals unless you're having an emergency, as hospitals are prime breeding grounds for infections of all kinds, and could be one of the likeliest places you could be exposed to this new bug. Vaccines, when available, will likely be ineffective and may lead to crippling paralysis like Guillain-Barré Syndrome just as it did in the ‘70s.
Take a High-Quality Probiotic or eat plenty of naturally fermented foods. Eighty percent of your immune system is located in your digestive system, so enhancing your gut health with probiotics is a very effective method to ward off cold and flu viruses.

H1N1 Flu Shots
If you are like me then you have been reading you all you can about the "voluntary mandatory: H1N1 flu shots. I do not like what I am hearing and reading. I recently attended a Flu-Pandemic preparedness lecture. Here is some things that i feel are valuable to keep in mind.
From Dr. Mercola's Web-site - Follow this link to read the full articles-
* Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sibelius has not only given immunity to the makers of Tamiflu and Relenza for injuries stemming from their use against swine flu, she has granted immunity to future swine flu vaccines and “any associated adjuvants”.
*The 2006 Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act (the PREP Act) allows the DHHS Secretary to invoke almost complete immunity from liability for manufacturers of vaccines and drugs used to combat a declared public health emergency. The most problematic aspect of the PREP Act is that it removes all financial incentive to make a safe product.
*As GlaxoSmithKline stated earlier:
"Clinical trials will be limited, due to the need to provide the vaccine to governments as quickly as possible. Additional studies will therefore be required and conducted after the vaccine is made available." [Emphasis mine].
This means that any time you get vaccinated you essentially agree to be a human guinea pig, and if your health suffers you have virtually no legal recourse whatsoever.
*Fake Pandemic
This pandemic label was given despite the fact that reported cases continue to be symptomatically mild, requiring little or no medical intervention. It says right on the WHO site that:
Most people recover from infection without the need for hospitalization or medical care.
Overall, national levels of severe illness from influenza A(H1N1) appear similar to levels seen during local seasonal influenza periods
Overall, hospitals and health care systems in most countries have been able to cope with the numbers of people seeking care
The apparent mildness of the swine flu is not what matters, unfortunately, because now that it has received pandemic status, it gives more latitude for agencies like the Depts. of Homeland Security and Health and Human Services to interfere in your freedom to choose how to manage your own health, and the health of your family.
*There are laws currently on the books that can not only allow vaccinations to be manufactured and approved with little safety testing, but which legally force you to receive vaccinations, including:
The Project Bioshield Act of 2004 gives NIH the authority to fast track drugs and vaccines deemed “qualified medical countermeasures” against threats to public health.
Executive Order 13375, effective in 2005, amends Executive Order 13295, which gives the Secretary of HHS the power to detain, examine and quarantine indefinitely any individual thought to be infected with a communicable disease.
The 2006 Division E -- Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act gives the Secretary of HHS the power to recommend the development and administration of covered countermeasures, defined as a “pandemic product, vaccine or drug.”
Further, under federal legislation passed by Congress since 2001, an Emergency Use Authorization allows any company that gives experimental vaccines to Americans during a declared public health emergency to be protected from liability if people get hurt.
Based on how the swine flu pandemic has been handled (marketed) to date, it appears drug companies and certain U.S. government agencies hope to scare you into signing up for swine flu vaccinations and prescription flu remedies.
As it stands, plans for a mid-October vaccination program are in place, and the Secretary of HHS, Kathleen Sebelius, named the first targeted injection group to include children, healthcare workers, pregnant women, and adults with chronic illnesses.
What can we do?
1. You need to pray about the H1N1 flu shot. Is it right for your family? Some of your family? Or will you refuse that all of your family get the shots. You will need to be prepared to deal with the repercussions of either getting the shots and dealing with, what could be life threatening side affects, or not getting the H1N1 flu shots and then being prepared to deal with the potential that you or your family member could come down with the flu. Some people have died from the H1N1. Do you have the natural cures to treat your family? You will also need to be mentally prepared to deal with the backlash of comments if you choose not to vaccinate. "You are a bad parent." This could be a very heated problem. Quarantines are quite likely in pandemic situation. You will not have access to Doctor's or hospitals if a pandemic occurs due to the mass numbers that need to be treated. Are you prepared to do this? Do you have a (mimimum) 3 month supply of water and food?
2. If you decide not to get your family vacinated you will need to sign a do not vacinate paper for every member of your family. This form will need to be given to the schools, universites, etc. As the schools very well might become mass vacination clinics. IF YOU SIGN THE FORM THAT THE SCHOOLS GIVE YOU YOU ARE SIGNING A CONTRACT THAT YOU WILL KEEP YOUR CHILD HOME FOR A MINIMUM OF 3 MONTHS. THEY CANNOT LEGALLY DO THIS (right now anyway). DO NOT SIGN ANY FORMS THAT COME FROM THE SCHOOL. GO TO THIS WEB-SITE AND PRINT OUT THE FORM! You can also get a copy of the form I have just contact me- sage1211@msn.com
Learn about natural alternatives to the flu shots. Like taking Vitamin D.

Vitamin D
What is the easiest and most effective way to boost your families immune systems to prepare for the flu and possible pandemic coming this Fall?
Serve up a daily dose of vitamin D. Don't need it because you are always in the sun- think again. There are numerous studies coming out that give proof that a large part of the population is low in vitamin D. I am- mine tested at 25-it should be closer to 50-65 to be protected. I always believed that since I live in Arizona that my vitamin D level would be fine. However, after feeling fatigued I asked to have mine checked. Our bodies need vitamin D to function properly. Dr. Mercola site states, "There are only 30,000 genes in your body and vitamin D has been shown to influence over 2,000 of them. That is one of the primary reasons it influences so many diseases, from cancer and autism to heart disease and rheumatoid arthritis.A study by Dr. William Grant, Ph.D., internationally recognized research scientist and vitamin D expert, found that about 30 percent of cancer deaths -- which amounts to 2 million worldwide and 200,000 in the United States -- could be prevented each year with higher levels of vitamin D. Vitamin D even fights colds and the flu, as it regulates the expression of genes that influence your immune system to attack and destroy bacteria and viruses. In fact, it is very rare for someone with optimized vitamin D levels to come down with the flu."

Dr. John Cannell shows proof of the benifits of taking vitamin D to prevent the flu in this great article.
http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/51913.php
So how much do you need and what type of vitamin D should you use. Vitamin D3 is the type that we need. Adults need 5,000IU a day and children under 12 need 2,000 IU a day.I do not know if all vitamin D3 is created equal. This is the brand that Melonie Turley was selling at her preparedness class. Buy 1 get 2 free.

Great proof of the benefits of vitamin D- from a great article from Donald W. Miller, Jr., MD"Explanations for why flu epidemics occur in the winter when it is cold – people being indoors in close contact, drier air dehydrating mucus and preventing the body from expelling virus particles, the virus lingering longer on exposed surfaces, like doorknobs, with colder temperatures – do not explain why flu epidemics occur in the tropics.Something that can explain why flu epidemics also occur both in warm and cold climates is this: During a flu epidemic, wherever it may be, the atmosphere blocks ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation from the Sun. In the temperate zones above latitude 35 degrees North and South, the sun is at a low enough angle in the winter that the ozone layer in the atmosphere absorbs and blocks the short-wavelength (280–315 nanometers) UVB rays. In the tropics during the wet season, thick rain clouds block UVB rays.Skin contains a cholesterol derivative, 7-dehydrocholesterol. UVB radiation on skin breaks open one of the carbon rings in this molecule to form vitamin D. The activated form of vitamin D (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D) attaches to receptors on genes that control their expression, which turn protein production on or off. Vitamin D regulates the expression of more than 1,000 genes throughout the body. They include ones in macrophages, cells in the immune system that, among other things, attack and destroy viruses. Vitamin D switches on genes in macrophages that make antimicrobial peptides, antibiotics the body produces. Like antibiotics, these peptides attack and destroy bacteria; but unlike antibiotics, they also attack and destroy viruses.Vitamin D also expresses genes that stop macrophages from overreacting to an infection and releasing too many inflammatory agents – cytokines – that can damage infected tissue. Vitamin D, for example, down regulates genes that produce interleukin-2 and interferon gamma, two cytokines that prime macrophages and cytotoxic T cells to attack the body’s tissues. In the 1918–19 Spanish flu pandemic that killed 500,000 Americans, young healthy adults would wake up in the morning feeling well, start drowning in their own inflammation as the day wore on, and be dead by midnight, as happened to my 22-year-old grandmother and my wife’s 24-year-old grandmother. Autopsies showed complete destruction of the epithelial cells lining the respiratory tract resulting, researchers now know, from a macrophage-induced severe inflammatory reaction to the virus. In a terribly misguided way, these victims’ own immune system attacked and killed them, not the virus, something in future pandemics vitamin D, in appropriate doses, can prevent.A creditable hypothesis that explains the seasonal nature of flu is that influenza is a vitamin D deficiency disease. Cannell and colleagues offer this hypothesis in "Epidemic Influenza and Vitamin D" (Epidemiol Infect 2006;134:1129–40). They quote Hippocrates (circa 400 B.C.), who said, "Whoever wishes to investigate medicine properly should proceed thus: in the first place to consider the seasons of the year." Vitamin D levels in the blood fall to their lowest point during flu seasons. Unable to be protected by the body’s own antibiotics (antimicrobial peptides) that this gene-expresser engineers, a person with a low vitamin D blood level is more vulnerable to contracting colds, influenza, and other respiratory infections (e.g., respiratory syncytial virus).Studies show that children with rickets, a vitamin D-deficient skeletal disorder, suffer from frequent respiratory infections; and children exposed to sunlight are less likely to get a cold. Given vitamin D’s wide-ranging effects on gene expression, other studies, for example, show that people diagnosed with cancer in the summer have an improved survival compared with those diagnosed in the winter (Int J Cancer 2006;119:1530–36).A growing body of evidence indicates that rickets in children and osteomalacia in adults (both a softening of bones due to defective bone mineralization) are just the tip of a vitamin D-deficiency iceberg. Tuberculosis and various autoimmune diseases, such as multiple sclerosis, lupus, and type I diabetes have a causal association with low vitamin D blood levels. Vitamin D deficiency plays a causal role in hypertension, coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, peripheral vascular disease, and stroke. It is also a risk factor for metabolic syndrome and type II diabetes, chronic fatigue, seasonal affective disorder, depression, cataracts, infertility, and osteoporosis. At the bottom of the vitamin D iceberg lies cancer. There is good evidence that vitamin D deficiency is a causal factor in some 15 different common cancers. (NEJM 2007;357:266–81.)The increased number of deaths that occur in winter, largely from pneumonia and cardiovascular diseases, are much more likely due to vitamin D deficiency than to an increased prevalence of serologically-positive influenza virus (which also results from vitamin D deficiency).Experts reckon that an optimum blood level of vitamin D (25-hydroxyvitamin D) is 50–99 ng/ml. (Children need a blood level >8 ng/ml to prevent rickets. It takes a concentration >20 to maintain parathyroid hormone levels in a normal range. A level >34 is needed for peak intestinal calcium absorption. And in elderly people neuromuscular performance steadily improves as vitamin D blood levels rise to 50 ng/ml.) The government’s recommended daily allowance (RDA) for vitamin D is 400 IU (international units) a day, an amount sufficient to prevent rickets and osteomalacia but not vitamin D’s other gene-regulating benefits. To achieve all of vitamin D’s benefits one has to take an amount ten times the government’s RDA – 4,000 to 5,000 IU a day."To read the full article follow this link-http://www.lewrockwell.com/miller/miller27.html
Sun Screens actually block the UVB rays that our body need to make Vitamin D.
THE SUNSHINE DEBATE
Because vitamin D is fat soluble, it can be stored in the adipose tissue of the body, presumably for long-term access. Much debate on vitamin D has focused on the need for dietary supplementation versus the body’s endogenous (internal) manufacture of the vitamin from sunlight exposure.For those living in climates with greatly reduced angles of sunlight (the northern and southern parts of the globe) or where sunlight itself is rare, the need for supplementation is unchallenged. The human body is designed to obtain vitamin D from exposure to sunlight, with only brief exposure providing roughly 80-90% of the body’s vitamin D stores.17 Exposure of the entire body to sunlight may produce approximately 10,000 IU of vitamin D a day.18 To prevent the accumulation of toxic levels of vitamin D, the body naturally limits the amount of vitamin D it synthesizes from sunlight.19For years, health advocates have suggested that sun exposure may contribute to cancer risk and sunscreen should be used for all sun exposure greater than 15 minutes. New evidence suggests, however, that vitamin D can in fact protect against several forms of cancer. While sunscreen may help protect against the deadliest skin cancer—melanoma—its effect of limiting vitamin D production could lead to a greater incidence of other cancers.20 That does not mean that sunscreens should not be used, as they can significantly protect against premature skin aging (and skin cancers). What this does tell us, however, is that in one way or another, it is critical that we obtain optimal levels of vitamin D.Cancer occurs more frequently in dark-skinned people, the obese, and regions with limited exposure to ultraviolet B radiation from sunlight. Each of these factors is associated with low blood levels of vitamin D. Furthermore, cancer survival rates are lower when the diagnosis occurs in months of lower sunlight levels, suggesting a protective role of vitamin D. Studies suggest that vitamin D protects against numerous forms of cancer, including widely prevalent cancers such as those affecting the colon, prostate, breast, and lung.1,20

If you are not taking Vitamin D and you start to come down with the flu like symptoms- Dr. Mercola and others, have said to take 50,000 units a day for 3 days to treat accute infection. Some believe like Dr. Cannell, believe does could be as high as 1,000 IU per dpound of body weight for three days.
Do your research and then decide what you feel is right for you and your family. I personally have the whole family taking vitamin d, multi vitamin, vitamin c and calcium (which your body needs to process vitamin D)
As you can see our bodies need vitamin D. Check your vitamin D level and start protecting your body today!
Sunshine and Your health -From the Vitamin D Council-
If well adults and adolescents regularly avoid sunlight exposure, research indicates a necessity to supplement with at least 5,000 units (IU) of vitamin D daily. To obtain this amount from milk one would need to consume 50 glasses. With a multivitamin more than 10 tablets would be necessary. Neither is advisable.
The skin produces approximately 10,000 IU vitamin D in response 20–30 minutes summer sun exposure—50 times more than the US government's recommendation of 200 IU per day!
How To Get Enough Vitamin DThere are 3 ways for adults to insure adequate levels of vitamin D:
regularly receive midday sun exposure in the late spring, summer, and early fall, exposing as much of the skin as possible.
regularly use a sun bed (avoiding sunburn) during the colder months.
take 5,000 IU per day for three months, then obtain a 25-hydroxyvitamin D test. Adjust your dosage so that blood levels are between 50–80 ng/mL (or 125–200 nM/L) year-round.
Noteworthy NewsH1N1 Swine Flu and Vitamin DDr. Cannell receives crucial emails from two physicians who have evidence vitamin D is protective against H1N1 Swine Flu.

Manditory Swine Flu Shots
Mandatory Swine Flu Shots. Really! This is a scary thought! I am beginning to think so. This is not a good thing. Read more about it here. Dr. Mercola gives resources to support his thinking. I hope this can be avoided. We may have to be ready to be quarentined to our homes to avid the shots. Are you prepared to do this?

What to do to Strengthen your Immune System to Prepare for the Flu or a Pandemic
Jacque Gurney taught us some simple steps to strengthen your immune system to be prepared for the flu, a pandemic or other viruses.
1. Avoid processed foods, white sugars, additives, preservatives, etc. EAT WHOLE FOODS!
2. Eat less meat, more nuts, beans, grains, avacados, leafy green vegetables and fruits. (This sounds like the WofW).
3. Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.
4. Put Eucalyptus Essential Oil on your feet daily after showering or bathing.
5. In the morning take on drop of Defense (in capsule, on your feet or in water). For children use Ravensara.
6. Do the liver clense daily, use 1 drop fresh squeezed (or previously frozen...but still freshly squeezed) lemon juice, one drop Peppermint essential oil, and one drop lemon essential oil. Do it first thing before eatting or drinking anything.
7. At lunch time use, Thyme, Oregano, or Rosemary in your water, on your salad, in your soup (after it is cooked)- somthere in your meal.
8. Use a diffuser in your home with the Thyme, Oregano, or Rosemary essential oils (Rotate them). Run the diffuser every 15 minutes.
9. Wash hands often, do not use anti-bacterial soaps. Add Guardian, Lemon, Tea Tree or other oils to your liquid soap. Anti bacterial soaps kill the good bacteria. We need good bacteria to maintain wellness and a strong immune system. Use probiotics.

Treatment Schedule for an Acute Patient
How often should you reapply Essential Oils when you have an acute patient who is coming down with an illness? Focus on-
1. Killing out the pathogens with small amounts of frequent doses for essential oils. Mix up your own bottle of oils to add in your applications. Remember that every 20 minutes there are a new colony of bateria growing and bacteria excrete toxic substances that are paracites to our cells.
2. Apply the oils every 15 minutes for 1-2 hours- use a timer!
3. Then apply every 30 minutes for 2 hours-reset your timer!
4. Then apply every 4 hours. Keep a patient log to keep on schedule...you won't remember, especially if you have more than one person sick.
5. Then treat 4 times a day for 10 days.
6. Focus on re-building the body with nutrients, rest and sunshine.

Supplies to Have On Hand For Pandemic Conditions
What should we have in our homes to be prepared for a pandemic? This is what Jacque Gurney taught in her class.
1. Essenital oils for Bacteria & Viruses (see previous post).
2. Vitamins and minerals (especially Vitamon D & C)
3. Collodal Siver Machine- Distilled Water (I have my husband building these...e-mail me if you want one...not sure of the cost yet).
4. Disposable Mask N95 ( I picked up mine at Dunn Edwards Paint Store). You can only use these once and then they need to be thrown away into a closed garbage can. Add a another barrier of protection by rubbing a drop of lemon oil between your hands then rubbing under your nose and on the outside of your mask.
5. Eye Protection.
6. Disposable gloves.
7. Food and Water stored in your home.
8. Essential Oils for Calming and Uplifting Emotions.
9. Gelatin, Veg. Capsules. So You can take the essential oils internally.
10. Games and activites not requiring electricity.
11. Funny movies (if the elctricity is working).
12. Store of faith, prayer & obedience.
13. Garbage bags (If you must go to public places, immediately remove your clothes in the garage when you get home. Bag it up in a trash bag. Do not bring it in the house.
14. Paper towels, Kleenex, disposable cleaning cloths (like lysol but add your oils to them). You will need to throw anything that touches the patient away after you use it on them.
15. Epson Salt and Sea Salt for making bath salts.
16. Organic Honey-to make salves, medicines, & teas.
17. Closed garbage can. (Keep all the bacterias closed up).
18. Difuser to clean the air. (I will let you know if I can get my husband to make these too.)

Home Pharmacy Essential Oils
I took a great class from Jacque Gurney called "Essentials for a Home Pharmacy"-Loved it!
Jacque suggests getting the single oils so that you can make your own blends-you do what you think is best.-There are alot of single oils.
" A caregiver must invest in her/himself so that she/he has the strengh and ability to care for others."
Some points to think about when deciding if you need a good home pharmacy-
1- Infectious disease is on the rise again despite of (and also due to) modern medicine and its huge contributions. In the past 25-30 years more deadly, drug resistant dieases have occured. MRSA now found everywhere, was only found in hospitals 10 years ago. Drug resistant Pneumonia represents 40% of the 100,000 hospitalized pneumonia cases each year.
2- Hospitals operate at nearly full capacity and emergency rooms have extremely long waits. Superbugs can be a 3-5 day death sentence and a possible pandemic is at our door steps. How quickly will we be seen. Maybe at a drive thru hospital triage?
3- If we are quarantined in our homes will we be able to see a doctor?
" Essential Oils by thier nature are Pro-Biotic=for life, as they can strengthen the body systems, while killing pathogens (germs). Essential oils are Anti-Bacterial, Anti-Viral, Anti-Fungal, Anti-Microbial, Anti-Parasitic- but they are PRO LIFE! They do not kill the friendly bacteria that we need in our digestive systes to protect and to balance us!"
Jacque Suggest to have these oils in your home pharmacy-
1- Oregano Essenital Oil- Heavey artillery against bacterial and viral infection. It is used for colds, flu, bronchitis, pneumonia, respitory conditions, pulmonary turberculosis, and whooping cough. Applied to the skin it is effectve for chronic fungal conditions (do not apply neet with out following directions), nail fungus, and athlete's foot. (Hot oil always dilute and use small quantities.)
2- Cinnamon Bark Essential Oil- Has strong anti-viral and anti- bacterial properties due to its cinnamaldehyde. Kills all gram negative and gram positive bacteria, is used to treat skin infections, respiratory infections, digestive tract infections and is amazing at killing bacterial bladder infections. (Hot oil-should be diluted and used in small quantites.
3- Clove Bud Essenital Oil- Has analgesic effects on skeletall and muscle pain.. Taken internally in small doses it can remove intertinal parasites, worms and thier eggs. Diluted it is used for skin and hair conditons, such as measles, scabies, athlete's foot and lice.
4-Thyme ct thymol Essential Oil (Thymus vulgaris)- Its antiseptic properties are especially food for respiratory conditions, such as, bronchitis, flu, and coughs. It is good for treating infections in all body systems and is stimulating to the brain, while it increases metabloism and aids the nervous system in coping with stress. It expells worms from the digestive tract and is warming and fortifying.
5-Tea Tree (Melaleuca alternifolia)- Proven in countless studies to be a powerful immune stimulant and effective in fighting bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. Excellent for sore throats. Is powerful even compared to oregano when used in small amounts with repeated usage, yet it doesn't have the hot risk nor does it stresss the liver.
6- Eucalyptus globulus Essential Oil- Loosens mucus congestion in chronic coughs, bacterial infections, colds, flu and will reduce a fever. Is effective in a steam diffuser. Provides reief from torn ligaments, arthritis, rheuatisum when used in bath salts. Disenfects the air, repels insects and eliminates up to 70% of staphylococci that may be present in the air. Not recommended for internal use. Not recomended for children (see Eucalyptus Radiata) Vermifuge (worms).
7- Eucalyptus radiata Essential Oil- Tolerated best by children, gentle but effective for the entire respiratory system and for elimination of viruses. Blends well with tea tree, helps control fevers, and can be diffused into a child's room when tey are congested or when they have difficulty sleeping. Good immune booster and protective against pathogens.
8- Defense Blend Essential Oil (Forevergreen product- NAN uses Spice Traders)-Cinnamon bark (hot), clove bud (pain), eucalyptus radiate, oregano, Palmarosa, Peppermint, Ravensara, Tea Tree, Thyme ct linalool (gentle). Non-toxic and can be used over a long period of time due to the alcohol group of chemical constituents in these plants. This is the first choice when preventing and trating early- on illnesses.
9- Exchange Blend Essential Oil- (Bay Laurel, Cypress, Eucalyptus citidora, Eucalyptus golblus, Eucalyptus radiata, Lemon, Peppermint, Ravensara, Rosemary ct 1.8 cineole, Scotch Pine, Sweet Marjoram, Naiouli.) (Simliar to NAN Breathe EZ)- Can be used NEAT on the lung and sinus points on the feet. Overall booster of the respiratory system, providing powerful aniseptic action. Helps relieve and prevent respiratory allergies and helps keep fever under control.
10-Ravensara Essential Oil- Most indispensible! Gentle enough for babies yet powerful in raising oxygen levels. Antiviral, it can be applied to the feet and has an affinity for pneumonia, colds, flu, emphysema, COPD, and respiratory conditions. A nerve tonic, perfect for shingles when mixed with a carrier oil and applied to the spine. Helpful in nurothathy and revitalizing those with fatigue. Ravensara is a "spike" to Defense blend, and is best for children, pregnacy, and the elderly.
11- Spice of Life Blend Essential Oil- (Cinnamon bark, Clove Bud, and Thyme ct thymol.) (NAN -Spice Traders)- A powerful formula of spice oils (hot) that will boost Defense and Ravensara. At the first sign of a cold or flu add 3-4 drops on the sole of each foot 3-4 times a day for 10 days. Also, you can make capsules with 1-2 drops Spice of Life and fill the capsule with a carrier oil and take 3 times a day with a meal.
12- Guardian Blend Essential Oil- Forever Green Product-(Black Spruce, Cypress, Eucalyptus citrodora, Eucalyptus Globulus, Frankincense, JoJoba, Juniper Berry, Lemon, Lemongrass, Ocean Pine, Sage, Tea Tree,Thyme ct.

Essential Oils to have on Hand if a Pandemic Happens
I cannot tell you how many people keep asking me this question? It is a very serious question to get answers too. I myself have had alot of questions so I called Melissa von Lutzow, the owner of Ready & Well. Other companies are selling kits, Forever Green has a combo kit called "Living Fearlessly kit" that Jaque Gurney helped to put together for pandemic conditions (be sure to sign-up to get the wholesale price $50.00 savings). I'm sure it is a good kit...Jacque knows her stuff too. However, I love Ready & Well Essential Oils, so I wanted to know what would be similar to Jacques choices. When I asked Melissa about the ForeverGreen kits and asked her if she had something similar this is what she said:
#1 She would have Defense supplement on hand. Defense has the capablity to strengthen your immune system 4000% in 20 hours. Read about it here. It sounds amazing.
#2 She would have The essential oil blend called Classic Spice .
Classic Spice= Anti-Plague
Contains - Clove Bud, Cinnamon Bark, Lemon, Eucalyptus radiata, Thyme, Orange, Oregano, Nutmeg, Rosemary, Mandarin, Ginger Root and Citronella.
Formulated to strengthen the immune system and is a powerful all around maintenance oil. It is beneficial against infections, inflammation, viruses, bacteria, fungus, parasites, and microbes, a general tonic, supportive to the nerves, respiratory, urinary and circulatory systems. Because of the oils in this formula it helps protect the body from the onset of malaria, flu, colds and coughs. It assists in cooling a fever or warming chills, loosens and expels mucus, strengthens the digestive functions and liver, anti-spasmodic, supporting the adrenals, increasing energy and brings emotional balance. May assist with dental infections, strep, gum disease, throat infections, teething, cold sores, canker sores, pneumonia, sinusitis, bronchitis, headaches, nervous fatigue, infection, slivers and splinters (pulls to surface). calming, promotes healing and diffused may inhibit the spread of infections. Spice Traders contains oils considered anti-plague by the spice merchants living in England in the 16th century who used them to protect themselves from the plague as they looted the bodies of the sick and dying.
Application: Feet, diluted on throat and around ears, stomach, intestines. Dilute one drop of Classic Spice with 5 to 15 drops of massage oil and massage the thymus and under the arms to strengthen the immune system. Has been effective when massaged on the feet twice daily. Diffuse periodically 30 minutes at a time, especially if there is sickness in the home.
Companion Oils: Fortify on the throat and Classic Spice on the feet, then alternate the next day

#3 She said that all the basic oils that you need are in the Basic #1 kit. These 10 oils come in a 10 holed zippered case. This kit was especially designed for those who are first introduced to liquid copals and wonder “where do I begin”. All ten of the copals in the Basic One Kit may be diffused, applied to feet or in a full body massage, added to bath water, or applied on location where needed. In the Basic One Kit are the liquid copals of Lavender, Lemon, Peppermint, Eucalyptus citriodora, Tea Tree, Confidence, Serenity, Love, Freedom Plus and Clove ‘n’ Limes
#4 She said if you can afford it you should have the Basic #2 kit. These 10 oils also come in the 10 holed zippered container. The Basic Two Kit was especially designed as the second step for those who are getting started with the liquid copals and would like to expand on the Basic One Kit and would like to expand their knowledge and use of liquid copals. All ten of the copals in the Basic Two Kit may be diffused, applied on the feet or in a full body massage, added to bath water, or applied on location. The ten copals in the Basic Two Kit are Breathe EZ, Circle of Life, Gentle Healer, Focus, Fortify, ICU, Purify, Spice Trader, Tummy Rub, and Vitality.
Melissa said if we have both kits then we will have a total body support kit. Additionally, she said that if we already have some of the oils and would like to switch them out for a different oil (of the same price) she would be willing to do that for us. All kits come with a usage guide.
I am thankful to Melissa for taking the time to inform me, so that I can pass it on to all of you.
