Hi everyone,
This has got nothing to WA. This has got to do with my WA family. My website deals with health. I live in Ontario, Canada and as the days goes by the weather is getting colder inviting the common cold and other flu symptoms.
I did a post on my website called, Ten Threats to Global Health in 2019/2020, and I would like to share with your number six on the threats. This is something we can prevent falling victim to.
Please protect yourself do not be a statistic
6. Influenza:
While a healthy person can fight influenza on his/her own, immuno-compromised people, especially children, old, pregnant women, and people with conditions like diabetes and hypertension are at increased risk of developing potentially fatal pneumonia.
Increased incidence and death toll due to swine flu (H1N1 virus) led the WHO to declare the first flu pandemic in 41 years on June 11, 2009. It affected all continents except Antarctica in 2009-2010 season and has been regular problem since then, though luckily mortality rate has been similar to usual flu.
With complications like pneumonia, influenza poses a serious threat especially to above mentioned risk groups. Preemptive vaccination is the most effective way to prevent disease while regular washing of hands, preventing unnecessary touching of nose and mouth and wearing masks are also to be followed.
Two antiviral agents, Zanamavir and Oseltamavir, are effective drugs to reduce the effects of swine flu, with newer drugs under study. There is evidence, however, of drug resistance due to excessive and indiscriminate use. Hence, necessary precautions and prevention are the most efficient way to save oneself from falling victim to the influenza virus.
For most people, influenza resolves on its own. But sometimes, influenza and its complications can be deadly. People at higher risk of developing flu complications include:
Young children underage 5, and especially those under 12 months
Adults older than age 65
Residents of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities
Pregnant women and women up to two weeks postpartum
People with weakened immune systems
People who have chronic illnesses, such as asthma, heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease and diabetes
People who are very obese, with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher
During the 2017-2018 season, the percentage of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza (P&I) was at or above the epidemic threshold for 16 consecutive weeks. During the past five seasons, the average number of weeks this indicator was above threshold was 11 (range of 7 to 15 weeks). Nationally, mortality attributed to P&I exceeded 10.0% for four consecutive weeks, peaking at 10.8% during the week ending January 20, 2018.
In further research I have heard influenza is going to reach pandemic proportions.
Please you all are my friends, do talk to your Doctor and consider getting vaccinated for the flu and influenza. It has already started to climb here in Canada.
Sorry no pictures, just be careful. I need you guys to help me be successful.
Thank you for reading.

My oncologist recommended me getting a flu shot about 4 weeks ago, but I got sidetracked and now am stuck with cold/flu for who knows how long.
But the good thing is I can still get the shot so long as I don't have a fever. Going on Saturday for myself and younger two children.
Thanks for the reminder.
Hi JagR,
Sorry to hear you got stuck with the cold/flu. Wishing you a quick recovery.

Big Pharma propaganda! Who by the way, is immune to lawsuits from the families of thousands they Kill DAILY!
Prepare your immune system with V-C, Zinc, V-D, Black Elderberry and Sovereign Silver.
Lots of fresh veggies & fruit and you WILL be protected.
Last but not least...Get Moving! Being sedentary is a death sentence all it's own.
Do the research - The Power to HEAL is Yours! (RSB)
Oh, but it is! I live it and so does my family...for 18 years now!
I guess you've never seen documentaries like Vaxxed. Once bubbling beautiful children turned into near vegetables after being vaccinated. And seeing the devastated parents with tears rolling down their faces because they KNOW what caused it. Due to lawsuit immunity, they can't sue big pharma! So guess who pays the damages? Taxpayers (USA)!
I pray no one falls victim to the programming that you have received as gospel.
May whoever reads this blog do a FULL study of both sides. Follow the death toll from the hand of big pharma...that's enough for me!
Hi Josette,
I agree with you to a certain degree. I am not a fan of Big Pharma and my site is about alternative remedies such as herbs, vitamins and minerals.
People with already weak immune systems may react differently to the flu shot.
What about the others, unlike you who neglected to prepare their immune systems with all the wonderful items you have suggested.
Young children underage 5, and especially those under 12 months
Adults older than age 65
Residents of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities
Pregnant women and women up to two weeks postpartum
People with weakened immune systems
People who have chronic illnesses, such as asthma, heart disease, kidney disease, liver disease and diabetes
People who are very obese, with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher
Best wishes,
Michael
My son is 17 and never vaccinated! Do you know what's in those vaccines?
If you dare to check, take a look at the ingredients, oh and the side effects, and tell me how any of these ingredients are going to support any persons immune system.
Here's just some of the ingredients:
Mercury (think CFL light bulb & the dangers of those), so let's inject that into our bloodstream. Huh?
Aluminum (dementia anyone!)
Monkey intestines (disgusting)
Aborted baby parts/cells (pure EVIL).
Oh and be sure to dig deeper into their sly lingo, because the untrained eye will glaze right over the poisons that they're jacking people up with.

I am very glad that you understand the need to take care of the body with healthy foods. We also need to educate, not medicate.
Peace,

Thank you for sharing this important information, Michael.
While I have had my pneumonia and shingles vaccinations, I have not had a flu shot in years. Nor have I had the flu or been sick in years, which I attribute to a strong immune system, which was not the case for my brother-in-law.
There is a risk associated with the vaccination. My brother-in-law died from complications as a result of developing a Guillain-Barré syndrome in response to his flu vaccination.
Hi Glen,
I am sorry to hear about your brother in law. There are quite a few people who fear getting vaccinated. For this reason I think it is important consulting with your Doctor before getting the vaccine.
Thank you for sharing,
Michael
Thank you for your comment. There was an outbreak of GB after the 1976 flu swine flu vaccination but the evidence for a causal relationship since then has been minimal.
The CDC states that there are about one to two additional cases of GB / million doses of flu vaccination.
https://www.cdc.gov/flu/prevent/guillainbarre.htm
It is a real risk, but a very small one against the flu, which takes tens of thousands of lives every flu season.
Dave.
Thanks, Michael.
I totally agree about consulting with doctors. I see my family doctor on a regular basis at a minimum of twice a year. I have discussed vaccinations with him on several occasions including my last visit in September.
Good Morning Michael,
The last time I was sick in bed, 3 days, was at the end of 2000. The end of the year party was canceled and that was not funny.
Since then my lifestyle/food has changed considerably and my immune system is very good. Take care

Many thanks for this reminder.
As the saying goes, prevention is better than cure. This is very valid about flu and many other ailments. Little things such as washing of hands regularly can really be helpful.
Vaccinations as you recommended is very important also.
Wish us all good health in this season and beyond.
