Avoiding Complications and Death from Influenza

Avoiding Complications and Death from Influenza







As soon as flu vaccinations start next month, some people getting
them will drop dead of heart attacks or strokes, some children will have
seizures and some pregnant women will miscarry. -

With flu cases in this city up tenfold from last year, the mayor of Boston declared a public health emergency on the 9th of January. Right behind them the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention declared that influenza has reached epidemic proportions
in the United States, with 7.3% of deaths last week caused by pneumonia
and the flu. U.S. health authorities say the flu arrived about a month
earlier than usual this year, and the flu strain making most people
sick—H3N2—has a reputation for causing fairly severe illness, especially
in the elderly and increasingly in the young.

Nothing is said, of course, about the year-by-year weakening of the
population (through numerous and ingenious ways like poisoning of the
public water supplies with fluoride, the immune depression from yearly flu vaccines,
increasing exposures to toxins in the environment, toxicity from
pharmaceuticals prescribed by doctors, as well as accumulating
nutritional deficiencies), all of which make unsuspecting individuals
increasingly vulnerable to complications from the flu and from the flu
vaccines that deliver a yearly toxic blow.

Dr. Charlotte Ingle is telling her cancer patients,
"We would advise that all cancer and hematology patients receive the
vaccine unless they have contraindicated allergies regardless of whether
or not they are receiving chemotherapy. We have advised the patient
that they should have a flu vaccine as well as the pneumonia vaccine."
This is not bad advice—this is medical insanity that will lead people closer to death's door. But that is what most pharmaceuticals do, so we should not be surprised.


In the olden days, medically speaking, pediatricians and general
practitioners understood that you don't vaccinate a child who is already
ill, even if they simply have a bad cold or light flu. It is obvious
Dr. Ingle does not know or remember this medical wisdom and that
vaccines do have a depressing effect on the immune system. In suggesting
that her patients who are already struggling for their lives expose
themselves to dangerous vaccines that can bring on the flu and even more
complications, she is leading them closer to, not further away from
death. Last I checked, that's not what doctors are supposed to be doing.
Truth be told—vaccines hold the potential power to kill the cancer
patient before the cancer does.

The mercury in the flu vaccine would be contraindicated for cancer patients because the shot's toxicity from heavy metals adds to the chance that cancer will continue and get worse. People with weak immune systems should not get vaccines that contain live viruses, mercury or any vaccine for that matter. Fatal infections have been caused by giving live-virus polio, measles, and smallpox vaccines to patients with weak immune function.

Living with cancer increases your risk for complications
from influenza ("flu"). If you have cancer now or have had cancer in
the past, you are at higher risk for complications from the seasonal flu
or influenza, including hospitalization and death. This is especially
true if you are having surgery, chemotherapy or radiation. Cancer
patients should be on a radical protocol of medicinals that can quickly
increase their resistance to infection. Allopathic medicines are more
than worthless in this regard.

Flu
(seasonal influenza) is NOT to be mistaken for the common cold.
Although the flu may seem like a minor illness, it is a serious
respiratory infection that can lead to severe complications and even
death. That's the official word from the Centers for Disease Control and they are correct especially if you do not treat it appropriately.

"People tend to underestimate the effects of flu (and doctors
underestimate the dangers of vaccines), but it puts several hundred
thousand people in the hospital every year. It can kill up to 50,000
people every year, and there are certain groups—people with underlying
medical conditions, the elderly and the very young—who are at risk for
severe illness from flu," said Dr. Michael Jhung, a flu expert at the
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Although it varies widely from year to year, the government and the
medical establishment makes a point of scaring the public enough so they
are herded in large numbers into getting their dangerous and
unnecessary flu shots. They do not want the public to understand
anything about the flu and what to do about it; they only want you to
silently and obediently comply and get your flu shot.

"This is a bad year. There's no question about it," said Dr. William Hanage,
an associate professor of epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public
Health. Dr. Hanage also admits the poor percentage of people for whom
vaccines are effective. It's a bad year because doctors simply ignore
treatments that make sense. They are correct to warn about the dangers
but they fail to give the whole picture:

More than half a million U.S. children yearly have bad reactions or side
effects from widely used medicines that require medical treatment and
sometimes hospitalization.

The study appears in October's 2009 Pediatrics. It's based on national
statistics on patients' visits to clinics and emergency rooms between
1995 and 2005. The number of children treated for bad drug reactions
each year was mostly stable during that time, averaging 585,922.

There is no unequivocal scientific support to the belief and/or
propaganda that flu vaccines are safe and effective. And there is a
conspicuous absence of conclusive evidence as to the effectiveness of
influenza vaccines in children under two, healthy adults, the elderly, or healthcare workers who care for the elderly.

We have to conclude from hard medical data the obvious: It makes no
sense to treat the complications of influenza with drugs backed by no
evidence supporting their benefit while at the same time offering a
range of dangerous side effects.

Natural Allopathic Emergency Medicine

An intelligent protocol against influenza involves the use of the basic
emergency room and intensive care medicines that are an integral part of
Natural Allopathic Medicine. Magnesium chloride, iodine, sodium bicarbonate, selenium, vitamin C and vitamin D3
(if possible through sun exposure) are all medicines that help patients
resist and even avoid dangerous complications from the flu. So does
breathing retraining as this aids in increasing CO2 and O2 levels, and
of course the application of full hydration therapy is essential.

The primary symptoms of a cytokine storm (what kills the patient with
influenza) are high fever, swelling and redness, extreme fatigue and
nausea. In some cases the immune reaction may be fatal. To stop the
cytokine storms and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS)[1]
that can lead to death, we have to turn away from the orthodox medical
responses of using vaccines and drugs like Tamiflu. In Dec. 2012 the FDA approved Tamiflu for use in two-week-old babies. Now people are clamoring for this drug and shortages are being reported; all this despite the fact that Tamiflu has been shown to cause adverse effects and at best only shortens a bout of the flu by about one day.

Nutrient deficiency is one of the main reasons for a cytokine storm in
response to a virus like H1N1, along with heavy metals and other
chemicals that are flooding out of the cells when one has the flu. Many
naturopaths have always seen the flu as a detox dump because as the body
detoxifies, it is not uncommon to experience flu-like symptoms. (Some
people also make a direct relation with Chemtrails painting the skies
with Ethylene Dibromide and the flu epidemic.)

Data
from clinical trials involving patients with sepsis-induced ARDS have
shown a reduction in organ damage and a trend toward improvement in
survival (survival in ARDS is approximately 60%) after administering a
variety of free radical scavengers (antioxidants).

Anti-inflammatory therapy, antioxidant therapy, full hydration and
increasing the CO2 and thus O2 levels of the blood and tissues
constitutes a natural form of treatment that can make a difference
starting from the first hours that treatments are applied.

Sodium Bicarbonate (Baking Soda)

"In 1918 and 1919 while fighting the 'Flu' with the U. S. Public Health
Service it was brought to my attention that rarely anyone who had been
thoroughly alkalinized with bicarbonate of soda
contracted the disease, and those who did contract it, if alkalinized
early, would invariably have mild attacks. I have since that time
treated all cases of 'cold,' influenza and 'la gripe' by first giving
generous doses of bicarbonate of soda, and in many, many instances
within 36 hours the symptoms would have entirely abated," wrote Dr. Volney S. Cheney to the Arm & Hammer Company.

Vitamin D Will Protect Against the Flu

One of the greatest triggers of influenza, the swine flu and deaths from
pulmonary deficiency is vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D reduces the
risk of dying from all causes including the flu. Researchers
from Winthrop University Hospital in Mineola, New York found that
giving supplements of vitamin D to a group of volunteers reduced
episodes of infection with colds and flu by 70% over three years. The
researchers said that the vitamin stimulated "innate immunity" to
viruses and bacteria.

Iodine

"Extremely high doses of iodine
can have serious side effects, but only a small fraction of such
extreme doses are necessary to kill influenza viruses," writes Dr. David
Derry of Canada.[2]
In 1945, a breakthrough occurred when J. D. Stone and Sir McFarland
Burnet (who later went on to win a Nobel Prize for his Clonal Selection
Theory) exposed mice to lethal effects of influenza viral mists. The
lethal disease was prevented by putting iodine solution on mice snouts
just prior to placing them in chambers containing influenza viruses. Dr.
Derry reminds us that a long time ago students in classrooms were
protected from influenza by iodine aerosol therapy. Aerosol iodine also
is effective against freshly sprayed influenza virus.

Selenium

Selenium is a strong antioxidant anti-inflammatory that can also be
used. Protection against reperfusion injury, myocardial infarction,
ischemic stroke, vascular surgery, are all alleviated with selenium
injections as would cytokine storms provoked from out of control
infections.

The clinical investigations in sepsis studies indicate that higher doses
of selenium are well tolerated as continuous infusions of selenium as
sodium selenite (4,000 μg selenium as sodium selenite pentahydrat on the
first day, 1,000 μg selenium/day on the nine following days) and had no
reported toxicity issues. In view of this new information, Biosyn introduced the 1,000 µg dose vials for such high selenium clinical usage.

Selenium is important because selenium-deficient mice developed much
more severe lung pathology after infection with influenza virus than did
selenium-adequate mice. In another study, when selenium-deficient mice
were infected with a mild strain of influenza virus, the virus mutated
to become a more virulent strain, one that caused severe lung pathology
even in selenium-adequate mice.

Selenium is also an antidote to mercury having the highest affinity with
it than any other atom. So selenium does double duty lowering mercury
toxicity and this is important because mercury toxicity is known to
provoke influenza.

Magnesium Chloride

Magnesium chloride (magnesium oil) has always been and remains my favorite medicine that affects overall physiology in a very positive and direct way. Dr. Raul Vergini
says, "Magnesium chloride has a unique healing power on acute viral and
bacterial diseases. It cured polio and diphtheria and that was the main
subject of my magnesium book. A few grams of magnesium chloride every
few hours will clear nearly all acute illnesses, which can be beaten in a
few hours. I have seen a lot of flu cases healed in 24-48 hours with 3 grams of magnesium chloride taken every 6-8 hours."

Vitamin C

Intravenous vitamin C
is a wonderful treatment when people are on the edge between life and
death with the power to bring people back from the brink. Vitamin C
(ascorbic acid) contributes a wide range of benefits. It is known to
perform many critical functions within the body involving
detoxification, tissue building, immune enhancement, pain control, and
controlling or killing pathogenic organisms. It is also known to be
helpful for wound and bone healing, healthy skin and eyes, fighting
infections, stress control, toxic exposure, and repairing damaged tissue
of all types.

Cannabinoid Medicine

Dr. Ben Whalley, at the department of pharmacy at the University of Reading, said tests in animals had shown the marijuana compounds effective at preventing seizures and convulsions
while also having fewer side effects than existing epilepsy drugs. At
the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Md., rat nerve
cells were exposed to a toxin that is typically released during strokes.
Cannabidiol reduces the extent of damage reported the National Academy
of Sciences. More effective than vitamins C or E, strong antioxidants
such as cannabidiol
(CBD) will neutralize free radicals without the accompanying high with
regular marijuana used for recreational and other medical purposes. All
forms or marijuana have anti-oxidative, neuroprotective,
immunomodulation, analgesic and anti-inflammatory actions.

Beyond these core physiological protective mechanisms, something as simple as smoking marijuana is ideal for the pain and discomfort of influenza. With or without the "high," cannabinoid medicine
offers safe pain relief even as it heals and protects. It should be put
into wide use in hospitals as well as in the home for routine treatment
against the worst ravages of the flu.

Dr. Ester Fride strongly recommends the use of cannabinoids in pediatric
medicine so what I am saying for adults above applies to children. She
notes that "excellent clinical results" have been reported in pediatric
oncology and in case studies of children with severe neurological
diseases or brain trauma, and suggests that cannabis-derived medicines
could also play a role in the treatment of other childhood syndromes,
including the pain and gastrointestinal inflammation associated with
cystic fibrosis.

Conclusion

There are nine things to do if you have the flu or are living in an
epidemic area (all of the United States) that are put forth in this
essay. Five of these things are emergency room 'natural medicines' that
are injectable so there is no excuse for doctors and hospitals not to be
using them. The rest of us can self-administer these medicines orally
and apply them topically and even nebulize several of them for rapid,
safe and even legally administered effect.

Of course there is always more but these nine should keep you and your
nurse, if you are lucky enough to have one, extremely busy. It's good to
remember that pure water is the most basic medicine and it is not as
easy as it seems to stay fully hydrated. Also for fifty dollars one can
purchase a Russian designed breathing apparatus,
which you should have in your house anyway, that will slow your
breathing down. It really is extremely difficult to die when one is
breathing slowly!


In the emergency room medicines have to be safe while delivering an instant lifesaving burst of healing power.
The idea when used at home is to constantly be administering these
medicinals during waking hours. The power and speed of these medicines
and the flexibility of their administration methods make them ideal
especially because of their extremely low-toxicity profiles. As usual
the key to their use is in the dose given.

Few if any people need to die from the flu if they are treated
correctly. In Treatment Essentials, dosages and concentrations and
methods of application options are covered. When one learns about the
above emergency room medicines, and how to use them, one gains a lot of
medical power and wisdom to overcome diseases. (Treatment Essentials
should be available in early February)
