H1N1 Overview

The H1N1 Virus is commonly known as the "Swine Flu," mainstream officials claim the flu is from swine origin. Common in the conspiracy realm of discussion it is commonly believed to be related to the 1918 Plague Flu virus and the Avian Flu virus and had been released as either a bio weapon, or a window for mass manipulation and control. As this post is being written, it is believed there is arguably a moderately serious plague in the Ukraine. A number of victims are dying in a similar manner believed to be related to the avian flu, with reports of patients dying from hemorrhaging and exclamations such as "their lungs were as dark as charcoal." The Ukraine incident is currently receiving limited media coverage.

This manner of death is commonly believed to be caused by a virus triggered "Cytokine Storms"

Cytokine Storm Definition

A cytokine storm is the systemic expression of a healthy and vigorous immune system resulting in the release of more than 150 inflammatory mediators (cytokines, oxygen free radicals, and coagulation factors). Both pro-inflammatory cytokines (such as Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha, InterLeukin-1, and InterLeukin-6) and anti-inflammatory cytokines (such as interleukin 10, and interleukin 1 receptor antagonist) are elevated in the serum, and the fierce and often lethal interplay of these cytokines is referred to as a "Cytokine Storm". The primary contributors to the cytokine storm are TNF-a (Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha) and IL-6 (Interleukin-6). The cytokine storm is an inappropriate (exaggerated) immune response that is caused by rapidly proliferating and highly activated T-cells or natural killer (NK) cells. These cells are themselves activated by infected macrophages. The cytokine storm must be treated and suppressed or lethality can result.

In short, the immune system over reacts and begins attacking everything including healthy cells. This results in the destruction of the lungs, causing hemorrhaging and ultimately death.


Basic Theory & Disclaimer

By theory, the first step to ensuring your health against H1N1 and preventing Cytokine Storms is to take proper steps to ensure immunity and prevention against both. If immunity fails, and you fall sick, the next step is to properly treat the flu. If you begin getting symptoms of a cytokine storm, it is then necessary to immediately take steps to suppress it as soon as possible and get to an emergency room.

The supplements listed under "Treatments" are solutions that you should only take occasionally and are not recommended to take often on a regular basis.

The problem with emergency rooms is that if a plague does become serious enough, too many people do not know how to handle cytokine storms, or much less know what one is, and hospitals would quickly become overflown, so you need to absorb as much knowledge as possible.

Flu Immunity and Treatments


Flu Immunity


Top 4
1. Oleuropein
OL10 contains a powerful natural substance called oleuropein, which constantly adapts to new viral attacks on the plant... changing its defense properties as the microbes change their attacks. Now that's something the mainstream's vaccines sure can't deliver!

2. GSE
It's called GSE and it's an all-natural substance that is simply overwhelming to viruses and other disease-causing microbes. They just can't survive it. In fact, one lab study showed it can kill nearly 900 kinds of bacteria and fungi. It seems to prevent infectious cells from absorbing the nutrients they need...so the cells just fall apart. Even better, according to experts on GSE, if it's taken when you already have a flu or cold virus, it appears to speed up recovery and can help soothe painful sore throats on contact.

3. HexoseCC (Think it's also called AHCC)
It's an extract of a unique hybridization of several kinds of medical mushrooms known for their immune-enhancing abilities. On their own, each mushroom has a long medical history in Japan, where their extracts are widely prescribed by physicians. But when combined into a single hybrid mushroom, the resulting active ingredient is so potent that dozens of scientific studies have now established HexoseCC to be one of the world's most powerful — and safe — immune sti mulators. In fact, these studies, published in respected peer-reviewed journals, have established the health benefits and safety of HexoseCC more conclusively than nearly any other natural supplement. What is especially remarkable about this super virus slayer is how it works to help boost immune function: * Increases your natural NK cells ("killer" cell) activity against diseased cells as much as 300 percent * Increases the formation of explosive granules within NK cells — and the more ammunition each NK cell carries, the more invaders it can destroy. * Boosts Interferon levels, which stops viruses multiplying and stimulates NK cell activity. * Increases the formation of TNF, a group of proteins that help destroy cancer cells.

Cytokine Prevention and Treatments


Cytokine Prevention


1. Essential Fatty Acids (Cod Liver Oil, Fish Oil. Flax seed is said to not be as affective) VERY IMPORTANT in preventing Storms
Cod liver oil is a longstanding traditional preventive method for flu and cold prevention, and a very good idea year round. Sorry, plant based EFAs just won’t cut it, so go for the ones found in fatty fish and certain other wild and grassfed meats.

2. Elderberry
Avoid a hyperactive (or hypoactive) immune system (and theoretically, the cytokine storm ) with immunomodulators (rather than simple immune stimulators) like Elderberry. Elderberry is extra nice because it has also been shown to disarm flu viruses and prevent them from replicating in the body. Elder flower is a fine relaxant diaphoretic and lung tonic as well, and all around near perfect flu prevention and treatment remedy. I especially like my Elderberry Elixir recipe (scroll down til you see the recipe) to treat and prevent a variety of flu and cold bugs. Other herbs useful in the treatment of hyperimmune or autoimmune conditions include Peach, Cherry, Rose and Reishi.

3. Vitamin D3 (Or get a lot of sunlight)
Get your Vitamin D. Not actually a vitamin, this necessary steroid hormone is usually obtained through normal exposure to sunlight and diet, but supplementation is becoming increasingly necessary for those who live in Northern climes or spend much of their time indoors (that would be most of America, I suppose). Vitamin D (cholecalciferol) is important for a properly functioning immune system, especially in the respiratory tract. Up to 10,000 IU/per day is safe, and Paul Bergner says that “In order to rapidly raise se rum levels to ward normal, up to 40,000 IU/day might be safely given for a period of six weeks, followed by daily doses of 4000-10000 IU.”

4. Reduce sugar and simple carbohydrate intake. Even the sugar contained in honey or fruit is perfectly capable of supressing your immune system.

5. Turmeric

Elderberry Elixir recipe (scroll down til you see the recipe) to treat and prevent a variety of flu and cold bugs.

Hey! You cut the article off before getting to the Elderberry Elixir recipe!

I collected lots and lots of elderberry blossoms this past summer. They do make a very nice flu tea which seems to work very well to stop symptoms quickly. We have pure water from our well so we aren't complicating the benefits from the herb with flouride & chlorine. Probably be wise to distill your tap water before using it for medicinal teas.
