Swine Flu

If you have been watching the news in the past few days you know that there is an outbreak of Swine Flu that started in Mexico and has spread to the United States and other countries.

Listen to Dr.Christopher talked about Swine Flu at Radio Talk Show

Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza viruses that causes regular outbreaks in pigs. Human-to-human transmission of swine flu can also occur. This is thought to occur mainly through coughing or sneezing of people infected with the influenza virus. People may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose. Symptoms include fever, lethargy, lack of appetite and coughing. Some people with swine flu also have reported runny nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Incubation time is 24 - 48 hours.

Precautions:
1. Avoid close contact
2. Stay home when you are sick
3. Cover mouth & nose when sneezing or coughing
4. Wash hands often
5. Avoid touching eyes, nose or mouth, which spreads germs
6. Get plenty of rest, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food.

I know alot of people are concerned because the orders are rolling in for the Anti Plague and Super Garlic Immune Formula, which is a great formula for virus based illness. Western Botanicals has Anti Plague in syrup and capsules. Christopher’s Anti Plague, which is now called Super Garlic Immune Formula is available in syrup and extract. This formula has been a life saver for me in the past and I am stocked up in case I need it. We drink fresh squeezed orange juice all winter and with this outbreak we are still drinking it to help keep our immune system revved up. Some great formulas for the Immune System are Christopher’s Immune System Formula available only in capsules and Western Botanicals Immune Boost Formula taken two to three times a day which will do a wonderful job of keeping the immune system strong. The great thing about the Immune Boost Formula is that it is available in both capsules and liquid, and if you have kids be sure to get the syrup, because this stuff tastes great!!! You will have no problem getting kids to take this formula, they will be asking you for it. The reports about the Swine Flu is that it goes into pneumonia.


For people that have problems with the lungs, the Lung & Bronchial Formula is a great one to keep the lungs clear and strong. Back when we had a steel plant polluting our air I took Lung & Bronchial at least once a day to keep my lungs healthy. It was a happy day when they shut down and dismantled the steel mill. I love Western Botanicals Essential Air Care, it disinfects and purifies the air. This is a Full-Strength blend of very powerful Essential Oils, that work to destroy Bacteria, Virus, Fungus, Infection, Pathogens, Antigens and harmful Micro-Organisms. Spray high into the air to disinfect and purify the room. Use several time a day throughout the house at times of illness or daily to keep things smelling great. Essential Air Care is available in Citrus, Eucalyptus, Lavender and Ylang blends. And speaking of essential oils, Garden Essence's X-Plague is the one we love to use, add 1/2 a bottle to Glandular Massage Oil and rub into throat, on bottom of feet, etc.


The highly anti-viral, antiseptic properties of the oils contained in this blend help protect the body from the onset of flu, E-coli, candida, colds, sore throats, gum infection, canker sores. Use straight from the bottle onto the canker sores, or to give yourself a boost when your are around infected people. For the next few days you can listen to David Christopher talk about Swine Flu at this link. This show was recorded last fall when reports of swine flu were rare.

Have a healthy and happy month,
