Treat or Prevent?

It appears the Swine Flu is stubbornly pushing it's way into cities, towns and countries around the world as well as into the limelight of the media.

As of today, the cases in the US have risen to 20 and are scattered throughout the lower 48. It seems that some of those fallen to the virus have recently returned from Mexico where the virus seems to have sprung from while some have not.

It is said that this particular strain of flu originates from pigs, hence the name, and is typically transferred by pig to human contact. It is, however, capable of transferring from human to human contact where it allegedly mutates and becomes stronger, thus making it more difficult to both treat and fight off. Swine Flu is not believed to transfer to us by eating pork.

In the event we are struck by this virus, the medical community as well as big pharma are quick to tell us there are antiviral drugs available to treat us once we are sick.

My personal plan, not giving advice here, but rather sharing my best practices which haven't let me down for quite some time, is as follows. I prefer to prevent the onset of any flu, virus, bacteria or germ, rather than trying to treat it after it attacks me. A strong immune system will prevent disease, bacteria and virus from entering your body in the first place.

My personal arsenal for a strong immune system?
  • One Tsp of Apple Cider Vinegar with honey twice per day.
  • A Green Superfood once per day, usually with a home made smoothie.
  • One Tsp of Silver Solution once per day.
  • A whole food multiple vitamin, my choice is an Acai vitamin.
  • An Omega 3-6-9 supplement.
  • Fifteen minutes of direct sunlight every day.
  • A minimum of ten 8oz. glasses of water per day.

To your ideal health!
