HOW TO PREVENT THE FLU By Jane Kriese janes-store@telus.net Can you prevent flu? or is it just luck when you are virus free all year long! The flu is a highly contagious viral infection of upper respiratory tract. Because this illness can be spread easily by coughing and sneezing, influenza epidemics are very common, especially in winter. More than 200 different viruses can cause colds and flu, and strains of these viruses are constantly changing, so vaccinations against influenza have been only partly successful in preventing out breaks of this disease. The symptoms of influenza begin much like those of common cold head ache, fatigue, and body aches. In many cases, a fever develops, and you may feel unbearably hot one moment and chilled and shaking next. Most influenza sufferers have a dry throat and cough. Nausea and vomiting may occur as well. Often a person with flu is so weak and uncomfortable that he or she may not feel like eating or doing anything else. WHAT YOU CAN DO TO PREVENT THE FLU?

| | Is Man's Next Step Like A Can Of Potted Meat?Written by Dr. Rita Louise
Is it dawning of Age of Aquarius? For years, predictions have indicated that humanity is readying itself for a golden age, a so called new age that is right around corner just waiting to roll in. According to these forecasts, air we breath will be clean and our environment pure. Hunger, starvation and disease will be eliminated. Most importantly, we will finally experience peace and harmony we all desire and we will live in spirit of brotherly love. I too long for these events to take place, however, reality that currently exists on our planet is very different and choices we are making are sending us down a road that does not lead to salvation. When I think about where we are going and how we are getting there, it can be likened to a can of potted meat. For those of you that are unfamiliar with potted meat, it is a canned meat product that is found next to Spam and Vienna sausages at supermarket. Its primary ingredients include cooked beef fatty tissue, beef hearts, beef tripe, cooked pork fatty tissue and mechanically separated chicken. These tasty morsels are ground up into a paste-like consistency, mixed with lots of salt and chemicals, canned and sold for human consumption. I’m sure by now your mouth is watering and you just can’t wait to sink your teeth into a forkful of this tempting delicacy. And while I make this comment in jest, reality is that three major food manufacturers fight for shelf space at supermarket each hoping to capture potted meat market. The saddest or should I say scariest part of saga is fact that people buy it! It isn’t as if only one or two people get urge to munch down on some good ol’ potted meat, there are thousands if not millions of people around country why buy it, creating enough value, based on sales, to keep it on shelf. By now I know you’re wondering what potted meat has to do with our next step, but it has everything to do with it. Take a moment and look around. Every day, our air grows increasingly worse. Obesity in children is running rampant. The amount and quality of real, wholesome foods on shelves at supermarkets are being overrun by prepackaged preprocessed chemically laden ones. We fear for our safety, distrust our neighbors and hide in our hearts and in our homes. And like potted meat, even though we don’t really like it and know it isn’t good for us, we buy it anyway.
