Are You Interested in Fighting Off the H1N1 Virus Until You Can Get Your Shot???

I agree that the best way to avoid getting this virus is to wash your hands.At sometimes you should improve your inmune system, eat a well balanced meal.Then you will not get sick.

Good article. Thanks for posting. I plan to get the regular flu shot and the 2 H1N1 shots offered. The side effects can be uncomfortable but in the longrun think it would be better than actually getting the flu. Am also entertaining getting the pneumonia shot. I am not real fond of shots but am willing to lend my arm to something that may prevent the flu.

I sure hope my family does not get this, this year. We cannot afford it for one without insurance and we work seven days a week as it is anyway. I hope that my family will eat right and take their vitamins to reduce the risk for it.

I think you are very wise, to question the vaccine they are planning to give. I have heard that the initial doses will not contain a dangerous chemical that the later doses will have in it. this is so they can say the vaccine is safe and then blame the flu for whatever happens to those that get very ill (or worse) from the later shots. The best way to avoid getting this virus is to wash your hands, get out in the sun and get your natural dose of vitamin D. If you can't be out in the sun, or work during the day, take vitamin D supplements. Vitamin,E and of course vitamin C will also help you strengthen your immune system. Eat healthy, lots of veggies, fruit and filtered water. The more nutritious your meals are, the better your chances for having a strong enough immune system, one that can naturally fight off the swine flu. My plan for my family is lots of veggies, fruit (organics) and vitamins. Getting plenty of rest and drinking lots of water and 100& fruit juices.

I don't think you need to make an emergency kit for the H1N1 virus. But I think it's totally fine if you want to make yourself a generally more healthy person. It can't hurt anything to drink more OJ or bump up your anti-oxidant intake. Even if you aren't exposed to H1N1, you can fight off whatever other bugs happen to be going around.

I am 64 years old and I´ve never had a flu shot in my life although once a friend of mine got the shots and brought her daughter in law who was a nurse to do it at my home. I said, no, thank you, and served coffee. I´ll do the same now. My inmune system better behave. I won´t wear masks either. In my city, in the Metro, one sees people looking like they have come right out of a sci fiction movie. Masks and all. If you want to improve your inmune system, eat a well balanced meal, forget MacDonalds and eat honey. Bees know best. Take care

Thank you for sharing the link with all of us as this is good to know. I have heard that they are not sure how people will react to the vaccine shot once it comes out. It may not be good for everyone to have as it could cause bad side effects or worse. I hesitate to take shots that are new and the results are not fully known. The best thing for people to do to limit their chances of getting it is by washing their hands regularly with soap and/or use hand sanitizers. People should always cough/sneeze into a tissue or into their clothes to prevent germs from spreading. There are also face masks out there for extra safety.
