Flu Epidemic: Maybe Antibiotics Aren’t the Answer

Even if a flu epidemic is averted, the World Health Organization (WHO) has announced that within 2 years, everyone in the world will have H1N1 (Swine flu). This doesn’t mean everyone will get sick from it.

Flu Epidemic

H1N1 (Swine flu) is just another flu virus strain. It’s just since it’s a new strain, immunity hasn’t built up to date. This is how a flu epidemic comes about.

Remember, not all natural health supplements have been evaluated by the FDA. Here is their list of fraudulent H1N1 products.

Are Antibiotics the Answer to Flu Epidemic?

Over the last 30 years of increasing antibiotic use, 37 new pathogens have been reported (Nature. 2004, 430). And, the number of deaths attributable to infection is rising since the early 1980s (Science 2000).

Antibiotics

Antibiotics used for illness: 1) kill off ” good” bacteria (commensual cells) along with “bad” bacteria and 2) virus strains become resistant to them requiring the development of new antibiotics. Is it possible antibiotics are not the answer?

Our bodies are made up of more commensual cells (friendly bacteria) than human cells. We have about 10 trillion human cells compared to about 40 trillion commensual cells.

When we take antibiotics, even just one dose we kill off trillions of friendly commensual cells along with the bacteria the antibiotic is treating. Therefore, we weaken the immune system each time we use antibiotics unless we replenish with good probiotics.

Science Journal on Antibiotics

Some researchers are realizing antibiotics may not be the answer:

“the metaphor of “war” on infectious diseases–characterized by the systematic search for the microbial”cause” of each disease, followed by the development of antimicrobial therapies–can no longer guide biomedical science or clinical medicine….

..improvements in sanitation, diet, and living conditions served to cement the belief that humanity was engaged in a war against pathogenic microbes, and that we were winning But,then came the shock of HIV/AIDS, pandemics (Ebola, hantavirus, SARS, Swine,etc) & the emergence and spread of multidrug-resistant bacteria…”(Science 2000).

So if antibiotics aren’t the total answer to a flu epidemic, then what is the best way to face H1N1 (Swine flu) or anything that might harm our health?

Maintaining a healthy diet, drinking plenty of fluids to wash the body of toxins, exercise and rest are necessary for good health.

Taking supplements such as recommended probiotics go a long way to building the immune system so it fights the flu rather than a vaccine doing the work.

Spanish Flu Epidemic Statistics are Encouraging

During the 1918 Spanish Flu, chiropractors and homeopathy doctors kept good records of their success treating the 1918 influenza epidemic.

Their statistics are startling and revealing. Chiropractic and homeopathy both reported influenza patients with much lower mortality rates than medical records report.

Treat Flu Epidemic with Regular Chiropractic Care

Regular chiropractic adjustments keep body energy flowing so all organs receive nourishment from the bloodstream; thereby keeping them in good health so they can do their job.

When the immune system is in good health, it fights germs for us. How many times over the past twenty years have I gone into the chiropractor when I was not feeling good and after the adjustment, felt like new?

Treat Flu Epidemic with Homeopathy

According to reports of treatment of the 1918 flu outbreak with homeopathy, the homeopathic remedies Gelsemium and Bryonia were successful.

Dr. Anil Singhal, MD(Homeo) made a chart of all H1N1 (Swine flu) symptoms and compared it with single homeopathic remedies and reported:

“I observed that Ars. is ranking on top covering almost all the symptoms of H1N1 in highest grade.”

Author’s note: Ars. is Arsenicum Album

Additionally, there are many homeopathic products such as Oscillo which has numerous clinical studies behind it in it’s 65 years of use and is safe for the whole family. (Children under age 2 have a version of it)

Last, But Not Least, Flu Epidemic Natural Treatments

Homeopathy and chiropractic can be used together along with medical protocols for flu.

Additionally, Rejuvenate Naturally will be posting on other natural health products and therapies that are available to treat an H1N1 (Swine flu) flu epidemic. A list of posts is here.
