Flu Season

November 9, 2005 07:37 AM

A touch of flu just ran through my 4 grandchildren. So, time to prepare.

Should you do the vacine? Your choice, but not for me. Why not? Well there is this:

"In a February 2005 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine, researchers for the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases compared flu-related mortality among older people to rates of immunization. Their finding: During the past quarter century, immunization rates for the elderly have climbed substantially while the elderly flu-related mortality rate has stayed the same." Qouted from a health email I get from Health Sciences Institute e-Alert.

Then there is the point that the virus that may get you may not be the one the vaccine is designed to prevent. They have to guess and the virus mutates so rapidly, they may not get it right. But, again, it is a choice you should make and you may want to talk it over with your doctor. Guess what the doctor will say?

For my own part, I take ample Vitamin C, about 2 to 4 grams a day of pure, high quality C. And I don't eat the sugary substances that block the entry of Vitamin C into your immune system cells. Vitamin C and glucose are similar molecules and both compete for entry into your immune system killer cells. So, fill them with glucose and the C can't get in and they become ineffective.

I have plenty of muscle that my immune system can draw upon to mount an immune system response to a viral infection. Think of muscle as part of your immune system, as a reservoir of ammunition.

And then I take plenty of glutathione, the prime antioxidant in your body. This helps to regenerate E and C and to quench inflammation. But, it has other functions that have been documented in many research papers that aid the immune system.

Those of you who have followed the blog know that I get my antioxidant mix from HMPScience. This product is developed by one of the leading researchers in antioxidants, Dr. Demopulous, and there are scientific references on their web site. I have taken the product for more than 20 years. I have not been sick for 20 years. No colds, no nothing.

If my search function were working correctly you could search for glutathione and see my previous posts and the related discussion of this topic. Be sure to look for "Do You Get Sick?" which gives more details.
