The writing is on the wall and the general threat is real. Unfortunately we cannot stop the influx of the Swine Flu virus, but we can and should attempt to limit its spread. Multiple daily hand washings {once an hour, on the hour is what I tell my children}, minimize casual contacts {hand shaking, gym equipment…etc} and seek medical advice for symptoms such as a “Bad Cold”. High Dose Vitamin C or the X-Flu Protocol will help your immune system fight off and/or prevent the virus from infecting you.

Swine Flu Pandemic Concerns?
GENEVA, April 25 (Reuters) - Outbreaks of swine flu in Mexico and the United States have the potential to cause a worldwide pandemic but it is too early to say whether they will, the head of the World Health Organisation said.
The new H1N1 flu strain — a nerver-before-seen mixture of swine, human and avian flu viruses which has killed up to 68 people among 1,004 suspected cases in Mexico and infected eight in the United States — is still poorly understood and the situation is evolving quickly.
There is reason to be concerned because a vaccination does not yet exist and the infection could become a pandemic. The best advice to prepare for a possible Swine Flu outbreak is to make sure your immune system is strong. One of the ways to protect you from the associated illnesses of the Swine Flu is with good nutrition, nutritional supplementation and the use of intravenous (IV) therapy. Intravenous nutrition guarantees that critical vitamins and minerals can bypass barriers to absorption and penetrate deeply into cells to promote repair and efficient metabolism. Intravenous therapy creates “tissue saturation”, the ability to get the nutrients where we want them, directly in the circulation, where they can reach body tissues at a high dose, without loss. Intravenous Vitamin C activates your immune system and responses to infection. It helps prevent and fight various viral and bacterial infections including colds and flu.
