May 2009
Prevent Swine Flu
According to the latest information, the 2009 flu outbreak is due to a new strain of subtype H1N1 not previously reported in pigs. Following the outbreak, on May 2, 2009, it was reported in pigs at a farm in Alberta, Canada, with a link to the outbreak in Mexico. Apparently the pigs caught this new strain of virus from a farm worker who recently returned from Mexico. He showed symptoms of an influenza-like illness.
Swine flu in humans occurs 1-2 days after coming in direct contact with the virus. Symptoms include fever, lack of energy, loss of appetite, coughing, runny nose, nausea, sore throat, diarrhea, and vomiting.
What can you do to prevent getting the swine flu? Avoid people who have these symptoms, and stay home when you are sick. Additionally, it is important to wash your hands often. Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. Cover your mouth when coughing or sneezing. Get proper sleep. Read more about healing sleep later.
V.I.R. to the Rescue
V.I.R. is our anti-viral formula that is formulated in a base containing Echinacea, Red Clover and Calendula. It is an ideal immune support to help the body ward off viral and bacterial infections, such as swine flu virus. This formula is best taken at the first sign of cold or flu-like symptoms. It also provides immune support for chronic viral conditions such as herpes, shingles and HIV. During times of acute immune challenge, or immune disorder, it is best to eat solid food only when genuinely hungry, avoid dairy products and concentrated sugars/sweets and consume plenty of liquids such as herbal teas, clear soups, and fresh vegetable juices. In addition, it is best to use a good broad spectrum multi vitamin mineral formula that contains all the necessary nutrients in the right amounts.

Healing Sleep
When we disrupt our natural sleep cycle, we can interfere with some of the most important functions of the body, including metabolism, blood sugar levels and immune responses. Peak levels of various hormones (chemical messengers) secretion occur between 4 am and 8 am and generally decrease as the day continues. The lowest level occurs between 12:00 midnight and 3 am. When we alter our natural daily sleep/wake cycle, the peak of Cortisol Cycle changes as well. A disruption of the sleep cycle can also bring on acute health problems such as hypertension and diabetes.
There are numerous functions that the body performs during the sleep phase. Some of the most vital function of purification and rejuvenation in the body are carried out at two hours of sleep before midnight. In addition to lack of sleep, tiredness can precede many types of diseases, including cancer, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Doctors at the University of California, San Diego, discovered that losing just a few hours of sleep can adversely affect the immune system, which in turn impairs the body’s ability to fight infection. We all know how important a healthy immune system can be in fighting off swine flu.
Important: Try to go to sleep before 10:00 pm and rise between 6 am-7 am. I know this may not be easy at first, but the benefits far outweigh the enjoyment of a TV show, or cleaning the kitchen after dinner. Heck, leave the dishes…someone else will do it!
Thanks for your business.
