FEAR and the FLU Part ONE

There has been a lot of coverage in the news regarding the Swine Flu Pandemic. The media does a wonderful job of spreading fear, making a mountain out of a mole hill. To date, it is estimated that 2800 people have died world wide from the Swine flu. What most people do not realize is that the regular flu kills 36,000 Americans every year and approximately 250.000 world wide. You don't hear any of that in the news. Fear sells plain and simple. Think back over the last few years. Remember the West Nile virus, SARS virus, Avian Bird flu. You don't hear much about them anymore. They are still around, but, since they did not kill millions and millions of people like they were predicted, they are no longer news worthy. You would think that 250,000 deaths a year would be front page news. The regular flu, like the late comedian, Rodney Dangerfield just don't get any respect. The good news is, we don't have to be powerless against any type of flu. In part TWO for FEAR and the Flu, I will be discussing ways to beat the flu from a natural/holistic standpoint. Stay tuned for details.
