&lt;p&gt;All Viral “Flu” is of the most &lt;a href="http://plantcures.com/herbsforherpeshepatitisc.html"&gt;&lt;u&gt;easily treatable diseases&lt;/u&gt; &lt;/a&gt;with whole plant medicine there are! &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;We can let them scare us or we can stand up for what is the truth!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Please do not forget that the Arapahoe Indians healed themselves and a few white people of the 1918 flu using &lt;a href="http://plantcures.com/myquest.html"&gt;&lt;u&gt;Osha Root &lt;/u&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;(Ligusticum Porteri) However this was a big embarrassment to the fast developing AMA in Boston. They almost buried this data completely but it did survive in a few medical books. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=94995" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Drug Companies Already Preparing For The Next Flu Season</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/04/20/Drug-Companies-Already-Preparing-For-The-Next-Flu-Season.aspx#94990</link><pubDate>Sat, 21 Apr 2007 15:19:40 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:94990</guid><dc:creator>Greg_australia</dc:creator><description>Prevention is definitely the best cure by far. &lt;br&gt;Best recommendation is Garlic tablets with horseradish. Look for anything over 1000mg of garlic and 800mg horseradish per tablet.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Recommended dose is 2 tablets twice a day for prevention. And on the onset of a flu .. up the dosage to 6 tablets twice a day. This will definitely reduce your symptoms quickly if not get rid of them completely. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Also bear in mind that some tablets on the market may not be as great as they make out, so read your labels and if you want to be completely covered and assured of a top product, head to a naturopath for practitioner only products. &lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=94990" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Drug Companies Already Preparing For The Next Flu Season</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/04/20/Drug-Companies-Already-Preparing-For-The-Next-Flu-Season.aspx#94987</link><pubDate>Fri, 20 Apr 2007 16:07:43 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:94987</guid><dc:creator>Russ Bianchi</dc:creator><description>" HELLO?&amp;nbsp; IS ANYBODY IN (OR OUT) THERE?" go the lyrics to the Pink Floyd tune...&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Flu Season is an artificially created season, to sell Big Pharma (lobbied , bought and paid for behind closed doors) protocols, and to bolster the legitimacy of vast government, so-called 'regulator' bureaucracies, doing NOTHING beneficial for YOUR health!&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Just Say 'NO'!&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=94987" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Drug Companies Already Preparing For The Next Flu Season</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/04/20/Drug-Companies-Already-Preparing-For-The-Next-Flu-Season.aspx#94986</link><pubDate>Fri, 20 Apr 2007 15:26:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:94986</guid><dc:creator>Bridestein</dc:creator><description>There is a frightening story in today's USA Today saying that doctors and parent groups are joining forces
to increase the number of children who get the flu vaccine, and to make
childhood flu vaccination a greater public health priority.
&lt;p class="inside-copy"&gt;Also that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
recommends flu vaccine for &lt;span style="font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline;"&gt;all&lt;/span&gt; children between the ages of 6 months
and 5 years old and for children of any age who have chronic illnesses
such as diabetes or asthma. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="inside-copy"&gt;http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2007-04-18-flu-shot_N.htm&lt;/p&gt;How do we get the media to run stories stating the opposing point of view? When I worked for newspapers they would run public service announcements for free when there was room. Or maybe ads on websites or something. Can you be sued for saying flu shots are dangerous? Let's hear some ideas, people!&lt;br&gt;&lt;p class="inside-copy"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="inside-copy"&gt;&lt;br&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=94986" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>re: Drug Companies Already Preparing For The Next Flu Season</title><link>http://blogs.mercola.com/sites/vitalvotes/archive/2007/04/20/Drug-Companies-Already-Preparing-For-The-Next-Flu-Season.aspx#94981</link><pubDate>Fri, 20 Apr 2007 14:51:49 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">24451277-a5aa-4add-96dc-64081bfd86fa:94981</guid><dc:creator>Bridestein</dc:creator><description>My husband and I never get the flu or colds either. Whenever we start to feel the slightest symptoms of anything resembling a cold or flu, we take elderberry liquid extract (from the local health food store) a few times a day for a one or two days, and nothing ever develops. Perhaps it's just a placebo effect, but it's worked for five years now. We never had any success with echinacea or the coccinum stuff. &lt;br&gt;It just occured to me ... is this suppressing? Does your body need to get sick occasionally? &lt;img src="http://blogs.mercola.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=94981" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
