 Let's say a flu virus enters your body. Immune cells that are programmed to recognize the proteins from the flu virus set out to find it and attack it. They are able to recognize these proteins as dangerous because they recognize the unique code of amino acids on the surface of the virus.
Once these immune fighter cells recognize the flu virus based on its similar "identification bar code," they send out a posse of antibodies that begin to bind with the intruders, often engulfing and destroying them. |

 For example, the flu vaccine is comprised of inactive flu virus. When presented to the immune system, the inactive virus acts as a Wanted poster, alerting the immune system to be on the watch for live flu virus when the body is exposed. Short-term immunity, on the other hand can be transferred passively from one individual to another via a serum containing antibodies. In this way, infants are protected by antibodies they receive from their mothers before birth and during breastfeeding. |

 The trouble is, drug companies have no way of knowing in the summer which new strain of the flu virus is going to hit the Western Hemisphere during the winter months.
The vaccine producers grow the vaccines, consisting of live viruses, in hen's eggs. When the vaccine is injected into the body, it can cause side effects such as redness and soreness at the injection site and a mild form of flu. Very serious complications arise in people who are taking immune-suppressing drugs or who have a heart condition. If you are allergic to eggs, having a flu-shot may also endanger your health. |

 We also know that oil of oregano, olive leaf extract and grapefruit seed extract can all kill the avian flu virus. We also just had reports that ginger actually will knock out the avian flu virus. So one of the things that I formulate is sort of a variation of a formula that Doc. Christopher called his Plague Formula. It's concentrated garlic extract -- 30 cloves of garlic -- and it's got tons of ginger and olive leaf extract in it. It was not designed for the avian flu; it was designed sort of like Doc. Christopher's formula for general flu and illness. |

 Although the basic underlying cause remains uncertain, research suggests that CFS is triggered by a combination of factors, including a genetic susceptibility and repeated infections, particularly of a flu virus. |

 Adaptations that confer truly significant benefit to a species will eventually spread across an entire species, as when a strain of the flu virus acquires the new characteristic to go pandemic. But organisms, so the collective wisdom went, only happen upon helpful mutations by chance. (Remember, of course, that one species' advantage may be another species' disadvantage—an adaptation that allows a bacterium that harms humans to resist antibiotics is an advantage for the bacteria; for us, not so much. |

| They may see a set of amino acids, or a bar code, in healthy body tissue that is very like those in the flu virus, and instead of recognizing that pattern as being similar yet distinctly different, they goof, mistaking the sequence of amino acids in the healthy body cells for those belonging to the infiltrating germ. They set out to obliterate all the cells and viruses that share the same sequences, just to be sure they are getting the job done.
Such was the case in my own episodes of neurological autoimmunity. |

 An epidemic requires only large cosmopolitan populations to take off. The flu virus originated in wild aquatic birds, has spread and mutated in domestic fowl, and tends to jump species upward, first to domestic swine, which serve as transfer breeding stations for the virus, and then to humans. Pigs seem to act like living laboratories where bird and mammal viruses can get together and share RNA segments to create new strains of flu virus. Where human populations swell and more people mingle with chickens, ducks, and pigs, the prospects increase dramatically for new brands of flu. |

| But it is very risky, for instance, to give children who are infected with the flu virus H, the antibiotic chloramphenicol. The drug is known to destroy bone marrow, which requires subsequent blood transfusions and many other therapies that cannot guarantee a recovery at all. Chloramphenicol preparations are still prescribed even for such minor problems as a sore throat. |
| It may, therefore, sound reasonable to vaccinate the older people to protect them against the flu virus. But there is no total protection even among those vaccinated. Around 20 percent or more of the elderly people who get the vaccine still get a more virulent strain of flu, and many others get a lighter form of the flu. The same is true for the people in the same age group who haven't been immunized. The weak and elderly people are more likely to die from the flu, regardless of whether they have been immunized or not. The bottom line is that there is no real advantage in having a flu shot. |
| On the contrary, it can build up natural immunity even against future encounters with new strains of the flu virus. The very reason that nature creates these new forms of virus every year and spreads them with accurate timing is to ensure continued ecological balance and strong immunity in plants, animals, and humans alike. Anyone prone to repeated infections is likely to have a toxic liver with many hundreds of stones accumulated in the liver and gallbladder. Gallstones, which harbor many types of infectious bacteria and viruses, are a constant source of immune suppression. |
| But if the body's infection fighters have temporarily gone "on strike" for reasons other than the lack of a vaccine, the flu virus can gain unrestricted access into the body and cause an infection.
Regular vaccination (of any kind) is one of the major causes of depleted immunity. The yearly-administered flu shots repeatedly burden the immune system and cells of the body with foreign toxic material without giving them a chance to remove them again. |

 Researchers at the National Institute of Health, Tokyo, Japan, discovered that EGCG binds with the flu virus, thereby preventing it from causing an infection. This is a very promising discovery, since influenza causes many deaths throughout the world. A study of mice demonstrated the anti-influenza action of polyphenols in animals. When one group of mice was infected with the influenza virus, all died within ten days. However, when a second group of mice was given polyphenols right after being exposed to the virus, all of the mice survived. |

 You may have heard of medical experiments in which volunteers are exposed deliberately to a pathogen, such as flu virus. Some of the people exposed get the flu, whereas others don't. In conventional medicine, one explanation for this result is that those people who did not get sick have strong immune systems. From a bioenergetic perspective, however, we would say that those peoples' Source energy is strong. |

 In addition, roses can deter infection in the digestive tract and lungs as well as the cold and flu virus with aggravating symptoms of runny nose, sore throat, and lung congestion. Rose's decon-gesting quality carries into the reproductive system, relieving painful, heavy menstruation, irregularity, and infertility. Rose is also used for impotence in both men and women, not only on the physical level, but aiding in the emotional component of sexual insecurity. |

| This simple truth is confirmed by the fact that if 100 people are exposed to the same cold or flu virus, for example, only a fraction of them will actually get infected. Modern medical research has never really pointed out or tried to understand what makes one person immune to a particular virus and another susceptible to it. Otherwise, we all would have been taught long ago how to stay healthy or how to recover our health if we have fallen ill. |

But in a less than healthy body—one compromised by genetic predisposition, a heavy burden of chemicals, stress, a processed-food diet, or some combination thereof—the immune fighter cells and the antibodies they send forth begin to make costly mistakes. |

So, along with the useless dose of the flu vaccine and the pain of getting jabbed in the arm with a needle, you also get, as a bonus, organic mercury, which is a heavy metal linked to neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's disease. It's just one extra, free bonus that the medical community has included at no extra charge, because they are watching out for your health, of course. |
| The antibody response will only be protective if manufacturers of the vaccine are lucky enough to pick the right flu virus. A study from the Netherlands showed that among two groups of elderly people – one that received flu shots and one that received a placebo – the group receiving the flu shot had only a one percent lower incidence of the flu than the placebo group."

 Caused by an H1N1 flu virus, it is the worst influenza pandemic (and subsequently, epidemic) to date. There are more than half a million U.S. deaths; worldwide death estimates range from 20 million to 100 million. According to WebMD, "The pandemic comes before the era of antibiotics -- which are now essential in treating the secondary bacterial infections that often kill flu-weakened patients -- so it's difficult to say whether this flu would have the same dreadful impact in the modern world. |

 Later I found evidence that elderberry also fights flu virus in other ways. Viral spikes are covered with an enzyme called neuraminidase, which helps break down the cell wall. The elderberry inhibits the action of that enzyme. My guess is that we'll find elderberry acts against viruses in other ways as well."52
In a double-blind controlled trial she tested the effects of the elderberry extract on people diagnosed with any one of a number of strains of flu virus. |

Flu spreads easily by coughing, sneezing, or skin contact. It still travels efficiently in wild birds, which swap the disease back and forth with their domestic cousins. |

 If one person in your home or office has the flu, then every single person has been exposed to and "caught" the flu virus. When anthrax was found in the envelope, not every single person in that building got anthrax! The question is not whether you will pick up bacteria or a virus, the real question is why do some people succumb to the bacteria and virus and get sick, and other people do not?
Take two people. Expose them both to the flu virus at the same time. One person comes down with all of the symptoms of the flu and becomes very sick. |

 These vaccinations, which offer little protection against yearly flu virus strains, are heavily promoted by the CDC, Public Health Department and most physicians. Many hospitals have made flu vaccinations of the elderly a part of routine admission orders. This, in my view, is criminal.
Some forms of mercury, such as methylmercury, phenylmercury, and ethylmercury, are very fat-soluble. This means that an obese person can sequester a considerable amount of mercury in his or her body fat, as well as in his or her nervous system. |
