Flu Remedies

FLU REMEDIES

Here are suggestions for combating the flu:

1) Preventative: colon cleanse, liver cleanse, natural diet (eliminate white sugar and white flour from your diet). Your immune system cannot fight the flu as well if your body is bogged down with toxin waste.

2) Drink at least 8 cups of water a day (64 ozs.). Purified water and/or decaf green tea are the best choice. Drinking enough water flushes toxins from your body and as flu viri die toxins are massively produced.

3) DO NOT CONSUME ASPARTAME (NUTRASWEET), SPLENDA, OR ANY OTHER FORM OF ARTIFICIAL SWEETNER! These are poisons and will slow your recovery.

4) Boost your immune system: Take Vitamin C, the amino acid lysine, a high-potency multivitamin/multimineral tab, a calcium/magnesium supplement (more on magnesium below at #3), other anti-viral agents such as l-proline and l-glycine (amino acids), turmeric extract capsules, ginger capsules, garlic capsules, 15mg zinc/1-mg copper capsules or tabs, oil of oregano (organic if possible), decaffeinated green tea extract, N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) and non-GMO soy protein drink concentrate (organic is best). Read the following article (link below the quote) for warnings to pregnant mothers, dosing information, and other vital information.

"For people who have weakened immunity and are vitamin C deficient, this influenza likely kills it victims by rapidly depleting ascorbate (vitamin C) stores in the body, inducing scurvy and collapse of the arterial blood supply, causing internal hemorrhaging of the lungs and sinus cavities.

"Most people today have barely enough vitamin C in their bodies (typically 60 mg per day) to prevent scurvy under normal living conditions, and are not prepared for this kind of illness."

5) Vitamin D. See these articles at
http://www.relfe.com/A06/vitamin_d_deficiency_source.html,
http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/newsletter/h1n1-flu-and-vitamin-d.shtml,
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/10/21/avoid-flu-shots-vitamin-d-is-a-better-way.aspx,
http://www.uvadvantage.org/portals/0/pdf/NEJournalofMedicine.pdf, and
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5bp8qb3Gck.

According to Dr. Cannell, "Stock your home's pharmacy with several fresh bottles of 50,000 IU capsules of Vitamin D3 (a medicine at this dosage, not a supplement) and if you get this flu, take 2,000 IU kg of body weight per day for a week. As I weigh 220 pounds, I would take 200,000 IU per day for seven days if I thought I had an infection with a 1918-like influenza virus." [This is an adult dosage available at https://secure.bio-tech-pharm.com/detail.aspx?product_id=20&cat_id=2&subcat_id=0.]

6) "When the flu strikes, ... electrolyte abnormalities, mainly hypokalemia and hypomagnesemia [arise and] are associated with an increased risk for complications like developing cardiac arrhythmias. Magnesium replacement reduces morbidity and prolonged hospitalization from atrial fibrillation or mortality from sustained ventricular arrhythmias. ... Due to lack of magnesium the heart muscle can develop a spasm or cramp and stops beating. Most people, including doctors, don't know it but without sufficient magnesium we die." --From Viral Poppycock, by Dr. William Campbell Douglass II at http://rense.com/general85/viral.htm.

7) Essential Oils: Lavender, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree (melaleuca alternafolia). You can diffuse these in your house and car to keep the air clean. If you get congestion or have respiratory symptoms rub Eucalyptus mixed with a little olive oil on your chest. You can also add 3-5 drops to a bowl of steaming water. Put a towel over your head and the bowl and inhale while it is steaming. Obviously, hold the bowl far enough away from your face so you do not get burned. Other oils to use are Young Living's "Thieves Oil" or make a "thieves' vinegar." There are a number of recipes. One recipe is at http://www.kitchendoctor.com/articles/four_thieves.html.

Adding to the lore mentioned on this site, there was a town in England during the black plague years that had many lavender plants around it, so the air was perfumed with the scent of lavender. The people in this town did not have the death rate of the other nearby towns, presumably because of the lavender which "scrubs" the air of bacteria, viruses, and other airborne germs. This is why sanitaria tend to be in mountainous, alpine areas.

8) Another recipe for "Thieves oil" is at http://stevequayle.com/News.alert/06_Prep_tips/090427.oils.html. We will repeat the recipe here in case the internet goes down:

Clove oil (syzgium aromaticum) 200 drops or 1/2 oz.
Lemon oil (Citrus limon) 175 drops
Cinnamon Bark oil (Cinnamoomum verum) 100 drops
Eucalyptus oil (Eucalyptus radiata) 75 drops
Rosemary oil (Rosimarinus officinalis) 50 drops

Place into a small dark-colored (brown or blue) bottle. "This blend of therapeutic-grade essential oils was tested at Weber State University for its potent antimicrobial properties. Thieves oil was found to have a 99.96% kill rate against airborne bacteria. The oils are highly anti-viral, anti-septic, anti-bacterial, and anti-infectious."

We suggest that you invest in a nebulizer with a timer and keep it running day and night during the flu season. Our favorite nebulizer is showcased at http://www.aromatherapeutix.com/catalog/category8/product168. It's good to have a spare because you don't want to be in the middle of a pandemic and have your nebulizer break (though ours has been running nightly for years and hasn't broken yet) or worse, the electricity goes out, you can also put the oils in a small spray bottle and mist the air in your home, around your work space, and in your car. Another idea the article suggests is to place the mixture in a pan of water (or, we add, a teakettle used for humidifying the air) and place on a wood stove.

If you get ill, apply a few drops of the Thieves oil to the bottom of your feet or on your abdomen and rub it into your skin 2-3 times a day. Remember: oil and water do not mix. If an oil burns you, rub olive oil (or some other non-essential oil) where it burns and that should relieve it. Flushing it with water will not work.

9) New Super Silver Solution or ASAP Silver Solution (both patent pending and doctor-tested). ASAP is at http://www.beprepared.com and Super Silver Solution info is at http://www.survivalcenter.com/asap.html.

10) Sambucus (Sambucol), available at http://www.vitacost.com/Natures-Way-Sambucus-Syrup-Original. This was developed by a virologist and tested against the bird flu (in birds). It was found to be very effective (for birds). Read the human reviews.

NOTE: Survivalblog.com posted this WARNING about elderberry syrup (Sambucol or Sambucus) inducing cytokine storms (which is what the flu might do): http://www.survivalblog.com/2009/04/letter_re_sambucol_and_the_cyt.html.

The fluwiki.com link no longer works but the pertinent part was copied to survivalblog. In case the internet goes down, it is repeated here: "However, elderberry also increases cytokine production. One specific concern with H5N1 infections is the possibility that this strain of flu may induce cytokine storm, leading to ARDS and the high mortality associated with it. It is unknown if the increased circulating cytokines that elderberry and other alternative medicines induce could increase a victim's risk of cytokine storm. Medical science does not currently know the exact mechanism that triggers cytokine storm. We cannot say if increased cytokine levels before or during infection is a risk factor for ARDS or an effect of some other mechanism that begins the inflammatory cascade that results in it. High cytokine levels are documented to be associated with ARDS, but causation is unknown..."

11) Sauerkraut!
Sauerkraut could fight bird flu, say scientists

Home-made sauerkraut recipe

(Filed: 13 November 2005)

To make your own sauerkraut, follow this recipe, which should give you up to 30 servings.

You will need a large pot and a plate that fits inside it, a cloth and large weight (approx 8lb)

• 5lb of cabbage
• 3 tbs salt (use sea salt)
• 3 apples
• 10 cracked juniper berries

For flavour, you can add onions, garlic, seaweed, grated carrots, Brussels sprouts or turnips.

Shred the cabbage and mix with the salt - the salt draws water from the cabbage and creates the brine in which it ferments and sours without rotting.

Next add slices of apple and cracked juniper berries.

Put the mix into the pot, leaving 2in at the top. Cover with a wet linen cloth and place the plate on top.

Put the weight on top of the plate. This will force the brine to rise high enough to reach the cloth.

Leave the sauerkraut to ferment, but skim off the scum from the surface every other day.

Replace the damp cloth frequently.

At 16C (60F), the fermenting process will take at least a month. A higher temperature will speed up the process, but the flavour will not be as good, so it is best to leave your sauerkraut in a cellar or larder.

Once fermentation is finished, place the sauerkraut in a pan and bring to the boil over a medium heat.

Remove from the heat and ladle the hot sauerkraut into jars.

The finished product can be eaten cold, but is more often warmed up. A traditional serving suggestion is to heat sauerkraut with pieces of bacon and a liberal dollop of goose fat.

Better watch out for this NEW strain of H1N1 too as it may hit us in
Europe and the US. Lots of potential for preventable diseases occuring. If it is more deadly in those already vaccinated and if those already vaccinated can spread it more.then it raises the issue of why the drive to vaccinate was so intense......(to those people here who know what I mean by this). On this next round all hell is going to break loose if these 2 facts are true. People should get all their herbs and vitamins NOW. In Europe from April 2011 the sale of herbs, vitamins and homeopathic meds are going to require being licensed and people will NOT be able to buy many existing manufactured items (one can only make ones own remedies) as many manufacturers and suppliers will go bust, adding problems to flu prevention in Europe in Spring when flu tends to emerge.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The H1N1 swine flu virus may be starting to
mutate, and a slightly new form has begun to predominate in Australia,
New Zealand and Singapore, researchers reported on Thursday.

More study is needed to tell whether the new strain is more likely to
kill patients and whether the current vaccine can protect against it
completely, said Ian Barr of the World Health Organisation Collaborating
Centre for Reference and Research on Influenza in Melbourne, Australia
and colleagues.

"However, it may represent the start of more dramatic antigenic drift of
the pandemic influenza A(H1N1) viruses that may require a vaccine
update sooner than might have been expected," they wrote in the online
publication Eurosurveillance.

It is possible it is both more deadly and also able to infect people who have been vaccinated, they said.

Flu viruses mutate constantly -- this is why people need a fresh flu
vaccine every year. Since it broke out in March 2009 and spread
globally, the H1N1 swine flu virus has been very stable with almost no
mutation.

Scientists around the world keep an eye on all flu strains in case an
especially dangerous new mutant emerges. While H1N1 turned out not to be
especially deadly, it spread globally within weeks and killed more
children and young adults than an average strain does.

WHO declared the pandemic over in August but H1N1 has now taken over as
the main seasonal flu strain circulating almost everywhere but South
Africa, where H3N2 and influenza B are more common. The current seasonal
flu vaccine protects against H1N1, H3N2 and the B strain.

"The virus has changed little since it emerged in 2009, however, in this
report we describe several genetically distinct changes in the pandemic
H1N1 influenza virus," Barr's team wrote in the report, available

planet x

Spanish scientists argue that a brown dwarf has been discovered near Pluto. The celestial object, which astronomers call "G1.9" is said to be almost twice the size of Jupiter and located just behind the dwarf planet Pluto. Is it possible that the rumors about Nibiru or Planet X are about to come true?

Countdown Timelines

There are getting to be quite a few dates. This blog will attempt to track them all. If you become aware of a time or deadline, please post it in the Comments below and I will incorporate it into the main body of this blog. I have added a Countdown / Timeline link at the top right of the Main page. (The ~ symbol by precise dates means approximately, around that time, etc.)

 

CURRENT:

This is a timeline from mid-August 2011 through mid-November 2011, covering the comet Elenin passage.  It also includes dates associated with the passage of Planet X / PX / Brown Dwarf Star / Nibiru / Tyche...

https://earthchanges.ning.com/profiles/blogs/mythi-the-andromedan-summary

 

 

Dates have been posted here as well...
https://earthchanges.ning.com/profiles/blogs/elenin-dwarf-star-timeline?xg_source=activity

 

PASSED:

Oct 13, 2010: NORAD Officer's prediction that UFO's would appear over world cities. YES.

Oct 27, 2010: Patrick Geryl's work that this will be the beginning of a taste of the food shortages and catastrophic Earth changes to come. Food shortages are getting more and more press, but at least in the US, no taste yet.


~Nov 08, 2010:
Green "fireball" to enter Earth's atmosphere "around" this time. NO.

 

~Nov 8-12, 2010: Clif High's prediction of "emotional tipping point" wherein a [financial] event occurs in the US, has intense emotional impact that will last a full four days, and the emotional residuals continue well into March 2011. The date changed to 11/5 to 11/14. While there were two physical releases (British couple released by Somali pirates and Suu Kyi, nobel prize winner), nothing else of significance has happened yet.

 

~Nov 15, 2010: UFO to briefly decloak over Chicago, USA (~24 hours, Edina's post https://earthchanges.ning.com/profiles/blogs/what-do-you-make-of-this-guys?xg_source=activity). This was later amended to maybe...haven't heard anything about it happening, though UFO sightings continue to be reported.

End of Nov: Nancy's 7 of 10 Event (per Shadow's timeline).  NO.

Before End of 2010: 6 very large quakes predicted by Clif High/Webbots.  ?  "very large" ?

Late Nov-Dec: Major economic and social collapse worldwide, including major increases of prices of staples-like food. As a result, Obama would pull the military out of the mideast. (Per Shadow's timeline) There have been reports of food price increases.

Dec 14, 2010: Missile launch prediction beginning WWIII by Clif High/Webbots. Chinese missile launch off the coast of southern California on 11/09/10.

 

End of 2010: Nancy Lieder/Zetatalk's "7 of 10" event to occur no later than the end of 2010.  NO.

End of 2010: Alien disclosure to occur no later than the end of 2010 (per NORAD Officer Fulham).  NO.

Jan 2011: The US fleet in the Persian Gulf would be nuked, kicking off a major mideast war (per Shadow's timeline). Possibly war involving Iran/China/Russia/US which could escalate to WWIII.  NOT YET, but things are building up.

Jan 08, 2011: Venus is in Sagittarius. Cayce prediction of war. https://earthchanges.ning.com/profiles/blog/show?id=6126809%3ABlogPost%3A30387&commentId=6126809%3AComment%3A30498&xg_source=activityNot Yet.

Feb 17, 2011: War begins in Jersusalem, precipitating WWIII (per Alesiah's comment below).  NO.

Apr 2011: After March 2011, the revolution wave will settle down into a period of reformation. (Clif High/Webbots).  ARAB SPRING happened.

Anytime now: Civil unrest has been predicted by a number of commentators, including Clif High and Gerard Celente over economic problems.

See first link above about mid-August to mid-November 2011, as well as 2012 events predicted.

Comet News Flash From Sheldon Day

From an email from Sheldon today:

SUNDIVING COMET: A newly-discovered comet is diving toward the sun. Chinese comet hunter Bo Zhou found it on Oct. 19th in SOHO coronagraph images. The comet is faint now, but it should brighten in the hours ahead as it heats up. To see it, first check the finder chart, then play the latest movie. That tadpole is a doomed comet. Updates will be posted as the view improves.

And, DON'T Forget that Comet Hartley-2 made it's CLOSEST Approach to Earth today at 11.2 or 11.3 million miles.. This could be a potentially DANGEROUS Situation because this comet has a JUPITER-SIZED Atmosphere and with the SUN showing 5 Sunspots today & the already volatile situation on the Sun having something like a 250,000 mile-long Magnetic Filament Ring, The Sun could OUTLEASH SOMETHING... COMETS EFFECT THE SUN because Comets DISCHARGE the Sun, which is the Comet's "CAPACITOR" If I understand Professor Mccanney correctly....

More Evidence that X is coming in ????
Read more…

For those who asked, here is the image with the date and time.The camera is SOHO EIT304. Follow the upcoming news from Amy about wormholes, stargates, and starships on this blog ... https://earthchanges.ning.com/profiles/blogs/is-that-winged-object-really (under Pinned Posts). This blog also has the enlarged and color analyzed versions as well.

This opens a third possibility for the sun's quiescence this solar period...it now appears Sol's turbulence from the inbound dwarf star may have been being calmed by our friends "out there," at least in part.

Read more…

There are two theories that I know of that explain the abnormally quiescent sun these past years:

"Per the Zetas, the reason for the low sunspot activity has to do with the magnetic poles of Planet X." http://www.zetatalk.com/newsletr/issue085.htm

Per John DiNardo in March 2009, "...Planet X is in a fleeting interlude in its incoming travel, wherein it is gravitationally, electrically, and electromagnetically interacting with Jupiter, Saturn, or Uranus, thus diverting its previous fire away from the Sun, but only temporarily." https://earthchanges.ning.com/profiles/blogs/solar-scorching-of-earth-soon

In the same blog, in January 2010, he said, "...the reason why the extraordinary solar hyperactivity of the past decade had recently fizzled into a period of extraordinary quiescence is because inbound/sunbound Planet X was passing below Jupiter during 2008 to 2009, resulting in an electromagnetic and gravitational flirtation between the giant X and the gas giant, Jupiter, as evidenced perhaps by the great comet collision into Jupiter on July 20th of 2009, the comet presumably being just one member of the bee swarm of Planet X's gravitationally gripped horde of celestial bodies."

{Just from some research I did for John, another shred of evidence arose concerning the escalating rate (since 2001) of water main breakages which rate decreased in 2009, another indication that PX was "doing something different" that year.}

So, just within my knowledge (meaning there may be other theories I am unaware of), there are two schools of thought. One is that PX was actively hosing the sun with particles from its N Pole (thus, the sun's quiescent was caused by action on PX's part) and the other theory is that PX turned its affections away from the sun and directed them toward Jupiter, Saturn, or Uranus (the sun's quiescence was caused by inaction on PX's part, i.e., it not interacting with the sun).

My first question is...could a planet (albeit a brown dwarf, heavily magnetic and allegedly four times the size of Earth and 23 times its mass) affect the Sun that much? Here is a perspective of the size differences....

{I reworked the questions in the next section after posting this...for those who may have already read this blog...}
Second question concerns absorbing magnetic particles...

"Now the magnetic N Pole of Planet X is pointed outward, as Planet X has risen to the Ecliptic and is into its first 270° roll. Thus, it is pointing its magnetic S Pole toward the Sun, which absorbs magnetic particles and thus has a quieting effect." http://www.zetatalk.com/index/zeta459.htm

Can a planet that size actually shoot enough magnetic particles at the Sun the size of ours to calm it? Looking at the comparison images above, that just doesn't make sense to me, that Planet X could affect the Sun like that. And, another question, does shooting magnetic particles at the Sun even have a calming effect? Also, what about PX's N pole? It was pointed at the Sun too at some part of its journey. They say it is magnetic, like the S pole. So why only the S pole particles having a quieting effect? In any event, if PX was shooting magnetic particles at the Sun, it would only hit a small area at best. How would that affect the entire Sun? I think John DiNardo's theory makes more sense. What do you think?

A third theory surfaced after I wrote this. Take a look at the picture here https://earthchanges.ning.com/profiles/blogs/that-winged-thingy-againwith. Since Planet X (brown dwarf) entered our solar system in 2003 and since the "winged thingy" (an artificial vehicle aka "UFO") was captured shooting a beam at the sun, this solar period's quiescent certainly could have been influenced by help from our friends "out there." I think that John's theory about 2009 being "more quiet" is also valid. So, these two theories (UFO help + PX being turned away from the sun temporarily) are the most credible theories.

Sol: What If?

There are some strange happenings on the sun. What if a large earth-directed CME happens? Do you have a plan?
Back in the days of pre-Y2K, the electric grid going down was a main part of disaster preparations. But what if a CME would also scorch the Earth? Would you know what to do?
Let's use this blog to brainstorm how to survive something like that. First step, know what you would be up against. Here's a good overview from Stan Deyo:

http://standeyo.com/NEWS/10_Sci_Tech/100824.EMP.guide.html

"What you need to realize is that these solar storms are not only electrically and magnetically charged, but they bring radiation – across the spectrum, from microwave radiation to gamma rays."
http://www.empcommission.org/docs/A2473-EMP_Commission-7MB.pdf. This paper was done with the threat of an EMP caused by a high-altitude nuclear detonation. However, a coronal mass ejection (CME or solar flare) can have the same impact on the electric grid and electronic devices, as well as the human reaction to the event.

p.176 [regarding the effect an EMP could have on humans (minimal)]: "An important exception is people whose well-being depends on electronic life support equipment. They will be directly impacted by effects that disrupt or damage such devices. Research sponsored by the Commission suggests that some heart pacemakers may be among the devices susceptible to upset from high-altitude EMP.3,4"

"To assess human consequences, the contingency of concern is one in which electricity, telecommunications, and electronics are out of service over a significant area for an extended period of time. The human consequences of such a scenario include the social and psychological reactions to a sudden loss of stability in the modern infrastructure over a large area of the country. Loss of connectivity between the government and its populace would only exacerbate the consequences of such a scenario."

Some Lessons Learned [from local disasters] pp.180-181:

"Though the United States has not experienced a severe, widespread disruption to infrastructure comparable to an EMP attack, the cases reviewed provide some practical direction for predictions of behavior. For example, it can be expected that emotional reactions such as shock and paralysis that have followed past disasters could be magnified in a large-scale event such as an EMP attack. In particular, the paralysis of government assistance entities, such as law enforcement and emergency services, would aggravate this effect. In most instances, social disorder would be minimal, in significant part, due to the knowledge that authorities are in control of the situation. Without that assurance from an

outside source, it appears likely that people would turn to immediate neighbors or community members for information and support, if possible.

"Following disruptive disasters, information is among the most pressing needs for individuals. Not surprisingly, people’s first concerns are the whereabouts and safety of their family members and friends. Another urgent priority is an understanding of the situation — knowledge of what has happened, who and what is affected, and the cause of the

situation. A related yet distinct information need is for confirmation that the situation will be resolved, either from common sense and experience, in the case of a small-scale disaster, or from the involvement of local or federal authorities, in the case of a large-scale disaster. Psychologists note that dramatic events force people to reexamine their basic understanding about the world, and that survivors need to process an event before they can fully absorb it. This information processing begins the alternating phases of intrusion and avoidance that are primary indicators of post-traumatic stress.14

"The aftermath of natural disasters is often marked by instances or a period of considerable

pro-social behavior such as cooperation, social solidarity, and acts of selflessness. However, this encouraging observation might not be similarly magnified in projections for human behavior following an EMP attack. The key intangible, immeasurable difference is the knowledge that normal order would resume, based on significant indicators.

"It is important to note some of the differences between natural disasters and technological disasters, particularly those caused by human intent. Natural disasters “create a social context marked by an initial overwhelming consensus regarding priorities and the allocation of resources,”15 which explains the enormous outpouring of voluntary support

following the floods of 1993. In contrast to natural disasters, which “occur as purposeless, asocial events; civil disturbances can be viewed as instrumentally initiated to achieve certain social goals.”16 An EMP attack would certainly be perceived similarly, whether the adversary were a terrorist organization or a state.

"The selected case studies provide only an approximation of EMP effects. For example, the effects of the knowledge that widespread infrastructure disruption resulted from an intentional foreign attack are yet unknown. Much evidence points to people’s resilience in the immediate aftermath of disasters. However, during a lengthy recovery process, as

would be expected following an EMP attack with widespread, long-duration effects, the psychological effects of the attack should not be underestimated.

"It appears clear that the most crucial question in the task of avoiding social disorder is how to establish communication without electricity immediately following an EMP attack. Without communication alternatives, it would be impossible to alert people to the availability of emergency supplies or inform them concerning emergency response activities."

"The concern is that any nuclear detonation that could be launched into the atmosphere anywhere from 25 to 250 miles above the United States could decimate the nation's electric grid, essentially transporting it instantly back to an era of mechanical machines and agriculture....

"Bartlett explained that the danger also comes from naturally occurring EMP signals from sources such as a solar storm.

This article focuses on a high-altitude nuclear detonation caused EMP, but as mentioned above an earth-directed CME could also achieve the same result: death of the power grid. No matter what causes the EMP, "Within a year of that attack, nine out of 10 Americans would be dead, because we can't support a population of the present size in urban centers and the like without electricity...." Interesting, that's 90% of the population, the percentage that ZT says will succumb in the passage of Planet X. However, one earthbound CME could take us out before PX gets here! Thus, this is a serious reason to prepare for a CME PRIOR to the passage of PX. Don't be blindsided by this!


Second, research your options. John Miller began a discussion of shipping containers as a source of affordable underground shelters here: https://earthchanges.ning.com/forum/topics/safe-room-shelter-srs?groupUrl=survivalinformation&groupId=6126809%3AGroup%3A45&id=6126809%3ATopic%3A21542&page=2#comments. Would these shield people from solar scorching or radiation? If not, what could be done to ensure they could.
