QUESTION:
Hello Lena,
It seems like the media is pushing the flu shots so much so that it's
becoming frightening if you don't get one it's like for certain you are
destined to get the terrible flu that will be going around! They make
you feel like your not taking every possible precaution to maintain good
health and protect yourself! I personally do not like the shots and am
aware of the side effects associated with the shots. I usually just
take my chances and hope for the best but, this year I hear the flu
might be really bad to the point of people dying. Has someone come up
with a "natural" protocol to follow to protect ones self from the flu
that will be going around and is suppose to reach epidemic
proportions? I'm not quite sure what supplements to take, when to take
them and how much to take for prevention as well as if I or a family
member should come down with the flu how to fight it off. I have
fibromyalgia and really do not want to get the flu if I can help it!
Also, what about children? What can I do for them from an alternative
perspective? Please advise. I want to take care of us all and keep us
in good health, I just don't know how, or where to begin the process.
Thank you for being our health expert.
Roberta
ANSWER
Thank you for the compliment Roberta but being an expert is a bit much.
I'm still learning just like everyone else and do not think of myself as
an expert, just aged and "been there done that" or "watched it being
done to others" too often.
The best thing to treat as well as prevent flu and other viruses and
bacteria is "Ionic
Silver Water"... It not only fights germs and viruses but builds
your immune system while doing it. Then add a probiotic to kill any
remaining germs that managed to survive and reach the intestines
therefore getting into the body... The media is pushing the flu shots
because the pharmaceutical companies give them all the hype of dying if
you don't, fear is the greatest motivator of peoples actions. Last year
the drug company came up with the nasal
FluMist but is more a danger than a help. Also very expensive and
will make the company tons of money, so it appears that they again have
short changed the flu vaccine again this year saying it was adulterated
in the factory, but I believe this is simply to enable them to push the
FluMist nasal spray vaccine... So watch for that push in the coming
weeks? Dirty marketing but effective... Our news media people pass on
what is fed them from the companies, just as the doctors do, and believe
it to be the true facts but they never look to see if it is!
The flu kills hundreds of seniors and infants every year, but usually is
not publicized for fear of panic, even though the flu vaccines are given
to most of them. Besides the flu vaccine is a crap shoot every year as
to whether they can guess the right flu(s) will come around and so far
they are wrong most of the time? Their failure rate would make most
normal people ashamed to show their faces in public, yet the companies
continue their charade year after year. Since you hate injections you
may be urged to get the nasal flu mist? Don't! Anyone with a
compromised immune system (fibromyalgia qualifies in that category!) and
goes around a person who has had the FluMist, within 21 days of having
gotten the FluMist will find that it is passed on to that compromised
person with even light contact... At this point we don't have all the
facts yet on what happens to those people with the compromised immune
system if they have the flu mist directly? Collecting the results was
stopped and we may never have those facts... I suspect it wasn't good
but we will never know as the reason was not publicized.
As for kids treatment/prevention - they too can take the Silver Water
and should be on a high powered multivitamin, mineral, probiotic daily
along with a balanced diet and exercise... Wayne Garland makes a great
kids prevention called "Kids
Mins" that contains all three... with that and the Silver Water they
should be in good shape to ward off or combat colds and flu... 1
teaspoon daily of silver water with complete liquid minerals
works for the majority and is so inexpensive compared to antibiotics on
the market, which do not touch viruses anyway? If one should come down
with a cold or flu take double or triple doses of silver water
and the normal daily dose of liquid minerals and drinking
juices only... Usually knocks it in record time... Silver water is
not to be taken every day of your life unless you have a compromised
immune system, but is safe at large does of seven tablespoons daily for
several months? For those with compromised immune system 1 teaspoon of
silver water daily should be taken along with the liquid minerals for
balance and boosting the immune system?
You and the whole family should be on a high powered 84 minerals and
trace minerals liquid, powder or capsule daily in order to absorb the
nutrients in your foods as well and keep the immune system strong... A
strong immune system keeps you healthy!
All three can be found at

Hope this make you feel better. Don't panic and be preventative and even
if you get a mild cold or flu it should not be life threatening.
Hope this helps answer your questions,
Lena

AFFIRMATION FOR TODAY
Ralph Waldo Emerson has accurately said, "One of the illusions of
life is that the present hour is not the critical, decisive hour. Write
it on your heart that every day is the best day of the year."
Today is an important day. That problem you solve, that decision you
make, that time you enjoy can shape your whole life. The way you and I
approach today, and each day, is crucial. Our lives are built by a
series of days like today.
I discovered an affirmation that can help in living each day fully:
Today I will live through the next 24 hours and not try to tackle all
of life's problems at once.
Today I will improve myself , body, mind and spirit.
Today I will refuse to spend time worrying about what might happen if...
Today I will not imagine what I would do if things were different. They
are not different. I will do my best with what material I have.
Today I will find the grace to let go of resentments of others and
self-condemnation over past mistakes.
Today I will not try to change, or improve, anybody but me.
Today I will act toward others as though this will be my last day on
earth.
Today I will be unafraid. I will enjoy what is beautiful, and I will
believe that as I give to the world, the world will give to me.
Whether these are the best of times or the worst of times, these are the
only times we've got. Live each day fully and you will look back on a
life that made a difference.

FOOD OF THE WEEK
=================
A food delicacy with huge medical ramifications!
Because of it's great qualities a book could be written here about these
delicacies, but I will try to hone it down to a rather large article!
There are a multitude of mushrooms on the market but I am going to focus
on the Reishi aka (Ganoderma Lucidum aka Ling-Zhi).
Their rich, smoky flavor have also endeared them to American taste buds
and these exotic hearty mushrooms can now be found in supermarket
shelves across the U.S. throughout the year. If your local store does
not carry fresh reishi mushrooms, investigate the Asian food stores in
your area as they oftentimes carry these specialty mushrooms.
Like other mushrooms, these specialty mushrooms are as mysteriously
unique as they are delicious. While often thought of as a vegetable and
prepared like one, mushrooms are actually a fungus, a special type of
living organism that has no roots, leaves, flowers or seeds.
Reishi is the Japanese name for the Ganoderma family of mushrooms. In
Chinese, they are called "ling-zhi." Reishi is a large, dark, mushroom
with a glossy exterior. In traditional Chinese medicine, Reishi is in
the most highly rated herb category in terms of multiple benefits, used
as a medicinal herb, absent of side effects.
There are 6 different types of Reishi differentiated only by color: red,
purple, blue, yellow, black, white, recorded in Chinese pharmacopoeia
are actually one species grown under different conditions.
History;
Reischi is believed to have been known since at least the reign of "Fuxi",
a legendary ruler of that time known also as the first of the Three
August Ones.
Seng Nong, the Holy farmer, who was the second of the Three August Ones,
is said to have discovered the curative virtues of plants by tasting
hundreds of species. "Seng Nong's Herbal Classic" is considered to be
the earliest manuscript on Chinese materia medica and is still today the
foundation of Traditional Chinese Medicine and in general all Oriental
Medicine.
Reishi also contains ergosterols, complete proteins, unsaturated fatty
acids, vitamins and minerals.
Reishi, known in China as an "elixir of immortality," has been used for
more than 3,000 years to rev up the immune system and heal chronic
inflammatory conditions. Dozens of preliminary studies support its
anti-inflammatory properties. One Chinese study found
that of the more than 2,000 people with chronic bronchitis who took
reishi syrup for two weeks, 60% to 90% said they felt better. (Reishi
syrup is a long drawn out process.)
6 species of Ling-zhi, differentiated by colors, are mentioned in the
Seng Nong classic. Li Shi Zhen, a famous medical scholar in the Ming
Dynasty (1368-1644) introduced the indications of the 6 species
concretely. The work of the latter was republished in 1956, and
translated into several foreign languages including Japanese, English,
French, German, Russian and Latin and is regarded as the cornerstone of
Traditional Chinese medicine.
Today, an estimated 4,300 tons of reischi/ling-zhi is produced yearly in
the world, with China producing 3,000 tons followed by Korea, Taiwan,
Japan, Thailand, USA, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia and Sri Lanka.
Reishi is the Prednisone of foods!
Prednisone, the corticosteroid used to treat a variety of inflammatory
ailments -- arthritis, asthma, colitis and some cancers -- and to
prevent rejection of transplanted organs. Its nasty side effects - from
a swollen "moon face" to increased infections - are legendary. But what
many people don't know is that this medicinal reishi mushroom could, in
some cases, do as good a job without wreaking the prednisone havoc on
the body.
The best part - its side effects are as minimal as those you might have
from taking a placebo. The side effects, if any, will be less than
one-quarter of those you might have with prednisone -- and the cost is
less than one-quarter that of a drug prescription.
Medicinal Preparation in early times consisted of a long process of
boiling the mushrooms for hours or let them soak in alcohol for weeks so
as to be able to drink them after the ingredients were dissolved.
While prednisone has its place for short-term life-threatening
conditions, it may save your life. But if you have an ongoing
inflammatory condition, reishi may be the best first line of treatment.
Recently, researchers at Shanghai Medical University, Shanghai Tumor
Hospital, and Shanghai Chung San Hospital have independently isolated
from the Reishi mushroom a few species of polysaccharides which have
subsequently been shown in clinical studies to have anti-tumor
activities.
Reishi has also been shown to exert:
*A positive effects in treatment of insomnia
*Preventive effects against high altitude sickness
*Cholesterol -lowering effects
*Therapeutic effects in chronic hepatitis
Available in some grocery stores and health-food stores, in it's natural
form or in powder form, as well as capsules and tablets. All
observations show that Reishi has no side effects and can be consumed in
high dosages and in parallel with other medications. Its main properties
are the cleansing of blood, enhancement of the immune system and the
lessening of nervous tension. These properties are conducive to
normalizing and balancing the body and as a result preempt cure a
multitude of diseases from within.
Tips for Preparing Mushrooms:
Mushrooms are very porous, so if they are exposed to too much water they
will quickly absorb it and become soggy. Therefore, the best way to
clean mushrooms without sacrificing their texture and taste is to clean
them using minimal, if any, water. To do this, simply wipe them with a
slightly damp paper towel or kitchen cloth. You could also use a
mushroom brush, available at most kitchenware stores.
If the fresh mushrooms become dried out because of being stored for too
long, soak them in water for thirty minutes.
Our favorite way of eating is sauté alone or with stir fry vegetables
and rice.
I simply clean, slice and sauté in butter flavored virgin olive
oil.
For each two cups of sliced mushrooms use 1 Tablespoon of virgin olive
oil and ? to 1 teaspoon of butter (I do not use margarine for anything
because of it's poisonous fat and chemicals). Heat olive oil then add
butter, melt and mix well. Add mushrooms and saute' stirring until
cooked (about 3 - 5 minutes). Add a dash of Bragg's Liquid Aminos for
added flavor just before removing from heat. Serve with other vegetables
over rice or alone over rice.
Enjoy our healthy shroom!
