ASK LENA HEALTH Q & A
EDITION!
====================================
Today's question is very timely and not
something I have covered or asked before, but I think you may
recognize it as healthy ideas necessary to get or
stay healthy from many problems. I will be out of the office Tuesday and
Wednesday, but will have my cell phone with me. One area I will
be in for several hours allow me cell coverage so leave
a message and as soon as I'm able I will return the call.
The answers
to questions submitted to me each week come from my 20+ years as a Medical Office Nurse along
with many years and ongoing education in nutritional and alternative
treatment modes. Add that to
many years of friendship with Dr. Wayne Garland,
a very knowledgeable naturopath and herbologist, who
many years ago, beat his cancer death sentence given by
the traditional medical world, has helped along the
alternatives
path and
hopefully help to give hope to those who need it... Also
receiving a lot of study reports and try to ascertain
if they are good or bad then report them to you, which
has increased my knowledge along the way and I pass them on to you to
use or not...
I am not a doctor or dentist and you should not think of
me as one!!
My years observing life and health of the many
people/patients around me and the contradictions of the
traditional medical world's idea of treating -
prescription domino effect - while watching those same
schooled methods that aren't relieving illness but
creating far more health problems than they help. Those same medical
professionals aren't telling people how to get healthy
or how to prevent illness, which led me to look for
something to change that premise for myself and those
around me. In looking outside the Westernized medical
profession I found and continue to find alternatives
that really work to create health and longevity - when
adhered to - beyond anything the traditional medical
world can do...

QUESTION:
Dear Lena
I suppose this question is on the minds
of many and I searched through your wide range of health
articles but found nothing written about Swine Flu. The
media scare has a lot of us fearful and giving tips to
help but I don't know if I can depend on their
information. I know the virus medications such as
Tamiflu isn't really effective on any of the viruses as
the media is saying, but what can I do to assure that me
and my family not get it? This leaves me wondering what
to do? Is there something alternatively that will treat
the virus?
Thank you for being here to ask these
questions.
Alondra
ANSWER:
Alondra the media is helping feed the
frenzy as usual. First word of caution. DON'T PANIC.
Panic only kills the immune system more making you more
likely to become ill with any virus or bacteria lurking
around you?
This is not the first time the Swine Flu has been
confronted by us.
On February 5, 1976, an army recruit at Fort Dix said
he felt tired and weak. He died the next day and four of
his fellow soldiers were later hospitalized. Two weeks
after his death, health officials announced that swine
flu was the cause of death and that this strain of flu
appeared to be closely related to the strain involved in
the 1918 flu pandemic. Alarmed public-health officials
decided that action must be taken to head off another
major pandemic, and they urged President Gerald Ford
that every person in the U.S. be vaccinated for the
disease. The vaccination program was plagued by delays
and public relations problems, but about 24% of the
population had been vaccinated by the time the program
was canceled.
About 500 cases of Guillain-Barr-syndrome (GBS)
resulting in death from severe pulmonary complications
for 25 people, were probably caused by an
immunopathological reaction to the 1976 vaccine.
Other influenza vaccines have not been linked to
Guillain-Barr-syndrome, though caution is advised for
certain individuals, particularly those with a history
of GBS.
Their vaccine fix hurt more people than the virus
pandemic that didn't happen. Yes, this year is far worse
worldwide but the same simple basics apply to preventing
it as with any virus or bacteria. The drug companies are
working overtime to get a vaccine out but with the last
go-round of the side effects I say, don't go there. But
nobody is listening to me.
Simple alternative swine flu measures:
* First order should be to
work to build your Immune system! If you have a healthy
immune system you are most assuredly not going to
contract any virus. This is the basic step to assuring
health with or without pandemic expectations. I have had
this
adult immune building trio special box for a while
that you might want to think about. For children there
is a really simply
Chewable three
in one health and immune building solution!
* Sadly people do not heed the stay home warning when
ill and go out so be sure to wash your hands carefully
and often with soap and water or clean with alcohol
based hand sanitizer. Most importantly after being
around anyone with any cold symptom or a large group of
people where sneezing, coughing or feverish people may
be! Shaking hands with the wrong person could create a
health risk if you don't have a strong immune system!
* Wash all your door knobs in the home so the hand
washing will effectively keep the germs off little
hands. That is one step so many don?t think about. When
anyone touches a door knob or cabinet knobs they leave
whatever is on their hands so clean them all to start.
Teach your children to wash their hands at school before
entering the class room each time they leave it. Give
them hand sanitizer to carry, if the school will allow
it, and instruct them how to use it correctly.
* Be sure to take advantage of the wipes the stores are
now supplying to clean grocery cart bars.
* If you are under a great deal of stress do everything
possible to get out from under it, or if you can't you
should be taking
Dr. Garland's Tolerance StressX formula 2 with
each meal and 3 one hour before bedtime, to help you
body overcome the damage and prevent your immune system
from being weakened any further.
* Stay home and/or keep any family member home if not
feeling well as that means the immune system is weakened
and will make it easier to become ill.
* Don't eat pork! You
will hear that eating pork will not give you swine flu.
That is truly yet to be known. Even
though it has not being mentioned or probably not even
asked of those confirmed to have Swine Flu but I bet you
will find that a large number of those contracting Swine
Flu have eaten pork in some form or other. They have
never been able to absolutely confirm that cooking kills
viruses, to my satisfaction!
SOMETHING YOU SHOULD HAVE IN YOUR MEDICINE CHEST AT
ALL TIMES to treat bugs of all types!
If you should contract any virus, bacterial or fungal
infection don't forget to use the ultimate
antibacterial, antifungal, antibiotic
Ionic
Silver Water! Works like a charm!
I hope this answered your questions sufficiently.

Thought for the Day
~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^
Researchers from Australia's Adelaide Women's and
Children's Hospital found that administering
over-the-counter fish oil supplements to boost omega-3
levels helped premature baby girls score better on
cognitive tests at 18 months of age. This benefit was
not seen in premature boys, but the researchers believe
that's because boys and girls have differing rates of
development.
Study
leader Maria Makrides had 272 nursing mothers of
premature children take six omega-3 supplement pills a
day. This was meant to replicate the amount of omega-3
that full-term babies usually receive in the womb during
the third trimester of pregnancy. Eighteen months later,
they found that female babies of moms taking the placebo
scored slightly lower than the moms taking the
omega-3s.
Lena's Comment: The benefits of the omega-3s to
your heart, arteries, brain, and digestive system are
simply too numerous to name. And since moms are
routinely told to steer clear of eating omega-3 rich
fish and seafood during pregnancy so it seems smart to
encourage them to take more supplements?

SUCCEEDING AT LIFE
It's said there are three ways to get
to the top of a tree: climb it, sit on an acorn or make
friends with a big bird. But without too much
imagination I can think of a couple of other ways ? like
one that involves a parachute and a poor landing.
However, the point is still well taken: getting to the
top of that organization or reaching a new height
requires effort. And it is taken for granted that
reaching the top is exactly what everyone wants to do.
After all, isn't that what "success" is all about? More
power? More money? Reaching the top?
But what about success at living - trying to get it
right this go around?
Success at this thing we call living has always been
important to me. And climbing to the top of a tree has
never been a good metaphor for it. I like to think more
about the word "priorities." Getting some basic
priorities in order is key. And I know that if one's
life can be organized around solid priorities, then a
full and worthwhile life will be the result.
It is always risky to use sports illustrations; they
just don't speak to everyone. But let me forge ahead
with an oft-quoted statement by American football
coaching legend Vince Lombardi. He is remembered for
saying, "Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing."
And Lombardi's dream was certainly to coach winning
teams, but it's a mistake to think that climbing to the
top of football's ladder of success was his greatest
goal. He believed it was more important to succeed at
life than at his career or anything else.
Actually, winning football games was not "the only
thing" to Lombardi. He once actually listed his life
priorities in this order: God, his family and his
career.
He knew what was important. And he knew that keeping his
priorities straight could bring him joy, peace and,
ultimately, success at life. Which is probably the only
thing that truly matters.
