Hi Everyone,
This morning I spoke to a patient who recently saw a friend of hers at a party who works in the pharmaceutical industry. When she asked him about the H1N1 vaccine he responded, "In my opinion its a bunch of BS. We just saw a huge opportunity to make a lot of money."
After hearing how many families from my daughter's class are getting sick right now, and running into a fellow class parent and friend today who shared her anxiety about the potential effect on her child with asthma, I felt an obligation to write further about this. (And I've re-written this 3 times already, and decided to spare you my diatribe about special interest groups and mis-information, and just give you the facts).
How much have you heard from the mainstream media about effective ways
Here's what my family and I are doing to prevent/treat swine flu (and any flu), right now:
1. High-dose Vitamin D3*: (Google it for its anti-viral & asthma-lessening effects!)
Adults: for prevention, 5,000 iu per day; (if coming down with illness, 50,000 iu per day for 3 days, then drop back down to 5,000 iu per day).
I am exposed to many sick people through my practice (including H1N1), so I take 10,000 iu per day for prevention; & 50,000 iu per day for 3 days, at first signs of illness.
My children, Pia & Chloe, take: 4,000 iu per day for prevention, 10,000 iu for 3 days, in acute illness.
* Many people in Northern climates are D3 deficient! Blood titres will show levels. Some scientists believe the yearly flu is a side effect of vitamin D3 deficiency. If you think of how little we've seen the sun this spring and summer, it ties in with the early incidence of colds and flus this season, perhaps with the added threat of the swine flu. Think about it, usually 1/2 hour of sunlight exposure will create 10,000 iu of vitamin D3 through your skin! These numbers really illustrate how pitiful the RDA is for D3 (only 400 iu per day), especially in the months without a lot of strong sun. Here's a great site for more information: http://www.vitamindcouncil.org/
2. Triple Flu Defense: This liquid homeopathic remedy is reformulated every year to be most active against the current flu viruses! Our whole family takes it using these dosages: prevention = 20 drops 1x week. When ill, 20 drops 4x day.
3. K-PAX Fuel of Life: Formulated by Jon Kaiser, MD and shown to boost white blood cell activity over 27% even in active AIDS patients, these capsules are one of the strongest natural anti-viral remedies available. Laura & Evers: dosage for prevention = 4 caps 2x day and when ill, 8 caps 2x day. Pia & Chloe, 1/2 the adult dose.
We also take a number of homeopathic and Anthroposophical remedies if we are ill - which are specific for the person who is ailing.
It doesn't happen often, but Chloe did became ill with a flu last Friday night. I am certain it was due to the fact that we were out of Vitamin D and Triple Flu Defense and she had gone without them for a week. I got home Saturday afternoon with a re-supply of theses remedies, which she began taking right away. Her fever broke Sunday morning & she went to bed Sunday night about 60% better.
Fear is the worst thing for your and your children's health. However, prevention begins with forethought, something my daughter's recent illness is a vivid illustration of.
If you wish to begin providing your family with the same course of preventative, natural remedies that I trust to keep my own family well, contact our office at (203) 708-9299 and order your supply.
Warmest regards!
Evers
