How Dangerous is the Common Flu?



Are you concerned about the Flu?  Do you need to be vaccinated against the Flu?  Do the reports concerning an outbreak of the Flu frighten you?

In “BOMBSHELL: 18 PEOPLE DIED OF THE FLU, NOT 36,000”, Jon Rappoport shares details regarding the CDC’s misleading propaganda.

Propaganda is not always a bad thing, even though in common parlance we have misused this word and construed it with such a negative connotation. Propaganda is:

The systematic propagation of a doctrine or cause or of information reflecting the views and interests of those advocating such a doctrine or cause.



Propaganda may be entirely true, partially true, or entirely untrue.  Thus a person needs to examine propaganda discerningly before accepting it as true.

Regarding the CDC’s Flu propaganda, here is an excerpt from Rappoport’s report:


In December of 2005, the British Medical Journal (online) published a shocking report by Peter Doshi, which spelled out the delusion and created tremors throughout the halls of the CDC.

Here is a quote from Doshi’s report:

“[According to CDC statistics], ‘influenza and pneumonia’ took 62,034 lives in 2001—61,777 of which were attributable to pneumonia and 257 to flu, and in only 18 cases was the flu virus positively identified.”


Rappoport continues to explain the absurdity of the CDC’s propaganda, in which is an obvious obfuscation of the facts.  Yet upon this obfuscation propaganda, many people are led to overreact with fear so that they rush to be inoculated with flu viruses with which they may otherwise have absolutely no contact whatsoever.  Moreover, the vaccines have other added ingredients that have no medical benefit and are actually dangerous to the person’s health.

Additionally, vaccines themselves are dangerous.  People are being vaccinated in drug stores and supermarkets for crying out loud!

Furthermore, how is it that no one thinks to ask the propagandists about the fact that their reports of deaths from pneumonia include people who have received their promoted vaccines?  People receiving these vaccines often still suffer from the flu!  The fact is, that sometimes, even more than sometimes, people get the flu because of the vaccination!

Many years ago I experienced this myself.  At the seminary is an infirmary run by a kindly nurse.  At least at that time a very generous doctor had regular office hours.  He performed his services pro bono (without charge).

That one season I received a flu vaccination, which the nurse administered.  That year I experienced the worst case of the flu of my life!  Later, when I asked the doctor about the matter, he said that this is why he never recommends getting the flu shots, because in his experience 65 percent of those vaccinated actually got the flu from the vaccination.

He is not the only doctor to report this.

I have never had another flu shot since that experience, and I have never had such a case of the flu since.

There are measures that can be taken to reduce the likelihood of the flu being contracted.

One of the most important is to allow sufficient time for sleep.  Sleep deprivation weakens one’s body and immune system.  A weakened and tired body is more likely to become infected.

Good nutrition is also essential for good health and for maintaining an effective immune response at the cellular level.

Certain foods are very beneficial in this regard.  Organic foodstuffs that are free of pesticides and processed glutamic acid and processed aspartic acid and other added chemicals should be selected when preparing meals and snacks.  The more that foods are processed, the less natural value that remains and the more negative effects the foodstuffs have.

Locally produced and unprocessed honey is very beneficial in reducing allergies.

Elderberry juice, concentrate, or extract also is very helpful.

Garlic and ginger and turmeric also have many benefits.  MANY benefits!

The more non-polluted fruits and vegetables that a person consumes, the better.

As for the dangers of the flu viruses, of course one should not ignore anything that attacks and weakens one’s body.  The flu certainly does this to a person.  When one is in a weakened condition, then the person is also more susceptible to other invading organisms, such as the pneumonia organisms.  Thus the flu should be treated seriously and not ignored.  Sufficient sleep/rest and fluids as well as maintaining the proper balance of vitamins and minerals are all essential.  The body is fighting a war, fighting for survival against an invading army.

But is the propaganda that promotes everyone becoming vaccinated with a synthetically produced and contaminated vaccine to be accepted as the true way for prevention of these invading organisms?  Is the deliberate injection of such an invasive and harmful organism into a person’s body, an organism that otherwise may never even be a threat to that person, is this really the best way to pursue?

This is a question worthy of asking with serious interest.  What a person concludes can have powerful effects and affects regarding the health of that person’s body and family.

In this regard, what is suggested by the design and function of the human body?  Does careful observation of the body’s functions suggest that injection of an invasive and dangerous organism to promote an immune response in the body is the way to promote health?  Or does the body’s functions demonstrate that avoidance of a stressful lifestyle, avoidance of worrying, setting aside of unjust anger, avoidance of exposure through only “proper” interactions with others, good diet, sufficient rest, and regular exercise are the ways that best promote healthy and strong bodies with the ability to ward off invasive organisms and other diseases as well?

Is this not food for thought?

Sinus Congestion

Sinus Congestion is a serious malady when one experiences it. It is uncomfortable and inconvenient at best and painful in more extreme conditions.

Accompanying the congestion sinus drip or drainage is also common, which can produce a hacking cough that seems to linger forever.

Today I heard a radio advertisement that many other people very likely have heard many times before. It probably is not anything new to most who will read this post, but it was new to me today. I only listen to the radio when in my truck, so my exposure to radio programs and advertisements is quite limited. On this occasion I heard the advertisement during one of the breaks on the Peter Schiff show, an Internet/radio program also new to me today. Actually I heard multiple versions of advertisements for the product in question.

What was the product? Advil Congestion Relief. One video version Bedtime Story is embeded below. Since I don’t watch TV, I have not encountered it before.



This ad sounds wonderful to anyone seeking relief from sinus congestion and its side effects.

However, one may want to consider the side effects listed at Ibuprofen Side Effects. This site lists three pages of side effects. Some of the more serious ones include:

  • Chest pain
  • Shortness of breath
  • Weakness on one part of your body
  • Slurred speech
  • Allergic reactions
  • Liver damage
  • Fatigue
  • Excessive tiredness
  • Kidney problems, including kidney failure
  • Fluid retention or unexplained weight gain
  • Congestive heart failure
  • Depression
  • Insomnia
  • Hair loss
  • High blood pressure (hypertension)
  • Meningitis

There is quite a long list of possible side effects, some more serious than others.

It seems prudent to me that we all should be very careful about how freely we use these types of medications.

In the past I suffered from this kind of sinus congestion and drainage. Every winter I would develop a hacking cough that lasted for months. Several years I called our doctor and he prescribed a course of antibiotics which had absolutely no positive effect. Then he prescribed a second round of a more potent antibiotic that likewise had no positive effect. All I was doing was adding poisons to my system and weakening my natural immunity.

One year I asked at a health food store and was told about Bromelain, an enzyme extracted from pineapple. I tried it and my condition cleared up entirely within a week of using this natural product that has zero negative side effects. Later, my wife also experienced congestion and we added wild oil of oregano as well as the bromelain and her condition cleared in three days.

I later told our doctor this wonderful news and he informed me that he knew about bromelain. So why did he never tell me?

Bromelain and oil of oregano are natural anti-inflammatory substances. The wild oregano is stronger and more effective. For the last few years we have started raising our own oregano and use it in our diet. My wife also has started purchasing fresh pineapple and we have a portion on our breakfast plate along with banana and citrus and other fruit slices.

This year I had one slight flair of sinus congestion and drainage and consumed bromelain and oil of oregano for one day. Otherwise we both have been free of any significant symptoms.

To my thinking this is a much better way to live. Good food versus pharmaceutical poison does not leave me with much need for deep contemplation on the matter.
