So we have an “epidemic” on our hands?That’s what the news says.It sounds an awful lot like the “bird flu epidemic” that was going to kill half the world last year.What happened to that?Still, you are seeing quotes like this from the NY Times this week:
“In 1918, experts point out, the pandemic Spanish flu infected at least 500 million of the world’s 1.5 billion people, killing 50 million. Many of those lives would have been saved if anti-flu drugs, antibiotics and mechanical ventilators had existed.”
Let’s just look at 1918 and see if we can get a grip on this thing.First of all, how would ANY lives have been saved by having antibiotics available?The flu is a VIRAL, not a BACTERIAL infection.Antibiotics are useless for a virus, but it doesn’t stop them from printing it.If you want to learn what you should be doing now about the swine flu, read on.The answer is a strong immune system.
The immune system protects us from the flu, as well as any other infectious disease, and strives to get us well again when we do fall ill. That immune system, like every other system in the body, is coordinated and controlled by the nervous system.
Chiropractic allows a better‑running, healthier nervous system and immune system.We know if now and we knew it in 1918.
The Great Flu Pandemic of 1918 was the greatest plague of modern times. It is estimated to have killed 40 million people worldwide, about half a million in this country. History shows us that those under chiropractic care during the flu pandemic had a far better chance of survival. One example: medical doctors in Davenport, Iowa, treated 93,590 patients, with 6,116 deaths ‑‑ in other words, 1 out of 15 under medical care succumbed to the flu. At the Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, 1,635 flu cases were adjusted, with only one fatality. Outside of Davenport, chiropractors adjusted 4,735 flu cases, with only six deaths ‑‑ 1 out of 866. The ratio of flu cases cared for versus deaths were as follows: Medical care: 1 out of 17 died. Osteopathic care: 1 out of 36 died. Chiropractic care: 1 out of 886.
What about the flu shot?A former chief vaccine control officer of the FDA, J. Anthony Morris, has said: "There is no evidence that any influenza vaccine thus far developed is effective in preventing or mitigating any attack of influenza. The producers of these vaccines know that they are worthless, but they go on selling them anyway."
Is the flu vaccine safe? The strains of influenza within the vaccine are inactivated with formaldehyde and preserved with Thimerosal, a mercury compound. Aside from possible danger from the active biological agents, isn't it biological common sense not to put poisons such as formaldehyde and mercury into your veins?
