Q:  Concerning Swine Flu, how much of what we see on television and read in the newspapers should we believe?

A:  Very little.

Q:  Why? 

A:  To begin with, people get sick all over the world.  All the time.  It happens.  We call some of that the flu.  We call it lung or respiratory infections.  A few billion people get sick every year.  It’s not unusual.

Q:  But now they’re calling it Swine Flu?

A:  They’re calling a tiny proportion of that global illness Swine Flu.

Q:  Don’t they have a test to confirm Swine Flu?

A:  Yes, but there is a problem with the test.  Originally, when somebody thought a few people coming into hospitals had a new disease, they used a test called PCR.

Q:  What’s PCR?

A:  It’s a very clever procedure designed to enable researchers to “see” tiny, tiny fragments of genetic material.  With PCR, they can “blow up” or amplify these fragments until they are visible.

Q:  And that’s what they did with the original people who were sick?

A:  Yes.

Q:  So what was the problem?

A:  They found little fragments of pig virus and bird virus and human virus, and then they made a leap of faith, you could say.  They decided that these fragments were all connected, were all pieces of One Whole Virus.

Q:  And that was questionable?

A:  Yes.  There’s no reason to believe they discovered a new whole virus.

Q:  So maybe there isn’t a new virus called Swine Flu.

A:  That’s right.  You see, we all carry around little isolated genetic pieces of various germs.  All the time.  It’s not a problem.

Q:  So why are these people getting sick?  Why are a few of them dying?

A:  Different reasons.  The basic reason is, their immune systems aren’t strong enough.

Q:  Then the best strategy is finding ways to maintain strong immune systems.

A:  Yes.

Q:  This is rather mind-boggling.

A:  That’s true.  It is.

Q:  They’re developing a vaccine for Swine Flu.  What about that?

A:  Every intelligent human being should insist on knowing exactly what’s in the vaccine.  Aside from substances like aluminum and mercury and polysorbate 80 and formaldehyde, all of which have been used in other vaccines and are toxic---what germs will they put into the vaccine?

Q:  Germs?

A:  Yes.  Every vaccine is seeded with germs or parts of germs.  The theory is, that germ will stimulate the immune system and make it stronger, in the future, if the “real illness” comes along.

Q:  But you said there is no true evidence that researchers ever found a new Swine Flu germ in the first place.

A:  Yes.  So it will be very interesting to find out exactly what germ material they’re putting in the Swine Flu vaccine.

Q:  You’re making it sound like the research behind Swine Flu is a shambles.

A:  Correct.  I am.

Q:  Wasn’t there a Swine Flu hoax back in the 1970s?

A:  Yes.  In 1976, a soldier at Fort Dix died, and four other soldiers there were hospitalized.  Doctors claimed the cause was Swine Flu.  On that basis, President Gerald Ford was persuaded to launch a nationwide vaccination campaign.  As a result of the vaccine, 25 people died from severe reactions to it and several hundred more people experienced very severe illness.  The vaccine program was shut down.  In 1976, just as in the present situation, there was a very aggressive publicity campaign about the dangers of Swine Flu, and everyone was urged to take the vaccine.

Q:  But now, medical authorities claim there are many, many cases of Swine Flu all over the world, and some people have died.

A:  As of July 2009, there have been 94,512 cases of “Swine Flu” reported worldwide, and 429 deaths.  But by what standard of proof can authorities claim this illness and death is the result of a new virus called Swine Flu?  Again, millions of people become ill all the time.  These statistics do not prove something called Swine Flu was the cause, and they don’t prove some new virus was the cause.

Q:  It could be traditional flu.

A:  At the root, this kind of illness is based on immune-system deficiency or other factors, such as exposure to environmental toxins.

Q:  Why are all these people wearing masks in the streets, and why were schools closed down?  Why all the hysteria?

A:  Because people accept speculation as fact.  People are easily driven into a state of fear.  Let’s say that, roughly, 60 million people die around the world, annually, from all possible causes.  Now, is that alarming anyone?  Are people taking extra precautions?  Are schools and businesses closing down every day?  But if scientists suddenly say, based on speculation and no true evidence, that a new disease is SPREADING, and if the press hammers on that day and night, people are going to take notice.  They’re going to act on the basis of fear.

Q:  If a person has, in the past, taken a vaccine and has had a severe reaction or developed an illness, is it possible to detoxify the effects of the vaccine?

A:  At SCICN, we have programs that deal with vaccine detox.  And of course, we customize programs for each patient to strengthen their immune system. This is the key especially if you decide to get flu vaccine. There is a protocol that can be used beforehand.

Q:  Can parents get exemptions from vaccines, for their children?

A:  First of all, parents need to make their own informed decision about whether to have their children vaccinated.  In the US, each state has its own laws.  There are three basic types of exemptions: medical, religious, and philosophical.  Parents have to find out how these exemptions can be obtained.  

Investigative reporter Jon Rappoport is now writing SCICN newsletters.  Most of these newsletters are based on the research of Dr. Laura Thompson, head of SCICN.  This newsletter is based on Mr. Rappoport’s own investigation of Swine Flu and vaccines.  

We have 100’s of patients who don’t get the flu and they don’t receive the flu shots. Some of them haven’t had a flu for 10, 20, 30 years. How, you might ask, is that possible? The key: a strong, formidable immune system.

Why keep your immune system strong?

• You’ll be able to withstand a flu outbreak – in other words, you won’t get the flu.
• If you get the flu, you’ll get over it more quickly.
• You’ll protect yourself from vaccine damage if you decide to get a flu shot.

How do you keep your immune system strong?  We create specific immune-strengthening programs for those who desire them. The following suggestions, however, can apply to most anyone.

• Increase vitamin D intake, especially in the fall and winter. Recent studies have indicated its potent anti-viral effects and protection from the flu.
• Utilize specific anti-viral and immune strengthening botanical products, such as Core Olive Leaf Extract or Quantum Immune Complex.
• Take an immune multiple such as IM Encap, with thymus and spleen support along with antioxidant and anti-viral vitamins and botanicals.
• Utilize FluMax Pro spray daily – great for children and adults.
  
  

We’ll have much more on this topic in upcoming issues. Remember, you can have a strong, formidable immune system if you feed it right. And when you do, you don’t fear the flu or an epidemic. In fact, you listen to the media blitz and you shake your head, as if to say, “what are they making such a big deal about?”

A nutritionally supported immune system doesn’t break down – or at least not as often or as severely. When a person with a strong immune system “gets sick” he or she may have some fleeting symptoms, like a sore throat or nasal congestion for a day or two. The body rallies to defend itself and when the day-long skirmish is over, things return to normal. I’ve seen many patients go years without getting sick.

At SCICN, we develop custom immune defense programs for the individual. What I’ve found very impactful for flu prevention and amelioration of symptoms, is the customized homeopathic remedies. Here are the pluses:

• Customized flu prevention homeopathics are designed to prevent influenza and strengthen the immune system.
• Custom homeopathics specifically resonate with what your body needs to “detoxify” or inactive a virus if you succumb.
• Custom flu homeopathics can improve the flow of your lymphatic system to eliminate the virus more efficiently.
• Custom homeopathics can aid in elimination of metals, formaldehyde and other toxins inherent in the vaccines.
