Swine Flu

[Alferd]

HOW did these three strains from 3 separate sources manage to become intermingled to form this new flu strain?

I don't think it is a bio-weapon attack but it does go to show how unsnitary and 3rd world country-ish Mexico is. That border should have been shut down a while ago.

That is exactly what I was thinking. All these third world countries that have those markets where the animals all hang for days in the heat, I'm surprised that this hasn't happened sooner.

I'm thinking this is something the islao-wacko's are terrified of. Imagine someone from Al'Quaeda or the Taliban, getting swine flu ?.

LOL! Oh, the irony!

Here is some information I found making the case against using Colloidal silver.

I'm not recommending anyone stop using it, but it's enough to keep me away from it.

Colloidal Silver: Risk Without Benefit

I have read all of that and done some extensive research. I do know the FDA tries to poo-poo most natural, non-FDA approved substances. I take a very low dose which is more than enough to kill what needs to be killed. Many people go by the philosophy that "more is better" and in this case they would be wrong. There have been a couple of people that have deliberately turned themselves blue thinking it was cool to do. But it is also irreversible. I have also discussed my use of Colloidal Silver with my physician who says he is not the least bit concerned with the dose I am using.

I was supposed to fly out to Boston this week and just canceled those flight plans. The last time I caught something it was right after being crammed in on a full flight. Trains, planes, buses, etc. are not in my future travel plans at all. And .... all shopping will be done "late night" ... And if I brake a leg or cut myself ... I will set the broken bone myself and stitch the wound before going to a bacteria/virus infected emergency room. Guess I am just going to turn into a hermit for a while.

My girlfriend just called me to say she stayed home from work with nausea and the chills.

If it turns out to be the pig flu, I'll let you all know. I think she would be the first verified case in Chicago.

I'm coming down with something too but right now it's just in my nose and throat.

Probably isn't the flu but naturally it got me paranoid.

Yeah that is probably best if you can avoid it. If memory serves me i usually end up gettign sick at some point after traveling.

Planes are the worst.

Subways suck the big one! I am truly thankful that I don't have to utilize that service anymore. When I was in NY attending Fordham University, I had to use the dang thing and I seemed to be sick quite frequently. Charlotte has put in a new light-rail system ... only a dual track that runs less than 10 miles in one direction, back and forth. I would drag myself, naked across crushed glass before riding that!

I'd look at the source. It's a personal decision but i could see why the fda would be opposed to it.

I definitely do not trust the FDA %100 on everything.

I guess I might take it if traditional antibiotics weren’t available.
