EPIDEMIC OF SWINE INFLUENZA CAN BE PREVENTED BY THE SELFHEMOTERAPY
Epidemic of swine influenza can be prevented by the self-hemotherapy In times of crisis, and in particular that we are living now, all possible resources to mitigate the effects of the crisis must be sought and evaluated. Since 2004, the Brazilians are aware of the therapeutic procedure in the very old and traditional medical and veterinary, known as self-hemotherapy from a video circulated on the Internet through You Tube, containing an interview with Dr. Luiz Moura, resident doctor in Rio de Janeiro. Subsequently the procedure was banned by ANVISA in 2007, which fortunately did not prevent many people who continue using the procedure in the treatment and prevention of many diseases such as acne, arthritis, asthma, amidalite, gout, influenza and even several diseases auto-immune. After the ban, the patients who were using the self-hemotherapy were mobilized in their defense and have signed a petition addressed to the President of the Republic, requesting the release of the practice claiming that it is a therapeutic procedure with no known risk to the patient and extremely effective in the prevention of diseases in general, since it is a nonspecific vaccine, capable of strengthening the immune system against various diseases, including influenza, caused by different types of viruses. As the world lives in a climate of panic because the risk of swine flu appeared in Mexico in abril/2009, becoming a global pandemic like the Spanish flu of 1918, which some estimates reached 50 million deaths, or the Asian flu 1968, our duty to re consider the question of the use of self-hemotherapy in Brazil. The Spanish flu came to Brazil in October 1918 and remained for several weeks, until the end of November, but it was enough to kill at least 35 thousand people, mostly in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. According to scholars and medical specialists worldwide, a new influenza pandemic occurs more or less every 40 years and was last recorded in 1968, influenza in Hong Kong or Asia, where it is estimated that killed some 4 million people in the world. So 1918 + 50 = 1968 + 40 = 2008. Influenza was late, but arrived. Not by chance the World Health Organization (WHO) with the assistance of experts from around the world is pointing since the end of the 90s about the threat of an influenza pandemic in this new century. It is believed that, despite the current resources in the medical field and in the best condition of health of the global population, the ease of transport and the huge mass of people to move to each corner of the world each day will be able to spread the virus to all continents in only 4 days. Taking into account that the application of preventive injection of the patient's own blood, taken from the vein and apply the muscle has the property of strengthening the reticule-endothelial system (immune system) as it stimulates the body to increase the number of macrophages in the blood from 5% to 22% in 8 hours after application, maintaining that level for 5 days, is extremely useful, given the epidemic of swine flu, the application of the vaccine, not only for Brazilians who will travel to Mexico, but also to Mexicans have not yet hit by flu, which already has the mortality rate of 6%, demonstrating that this is really an epidemic of great gravity. If the epidemic spread to other countries, which seems inevitable as the daily traffic of persons from Mexico and the disease continues to have an incubation period of 3 to 7 days, just a passenger contaminated by viruses, into a country to create conditions for transmission of the virus to others and so on. Is provided only as a vaccine specific for this strain of influenza in swine in about 6 months, by then the epidemic will have produced a disaster of major proportions. Moreover we know that the influenza virus, the cause of influenza, because of their constant mutability, requires the production of new medicines. Even the vaccine, an important innovation emerged in the mid 90s, could have reduced efficacy in terms of the characteristic of the disease to submit to each winter with a new look. As this is an emergency, we believe the prudent application of the injection of blood from the patient's own vein (5 ml.), With an interval of 5 days to maintain the body with the index of macrophages in blood around 22% especially if the epidemic really is installed and remain for a long time. Obviously we can not ignore also the food, which must be of good quality, including vegetables, legumes and fruits, especially citrus and those with large amounts of vitamin C, such as cherry, kiwi, cashew, etc.. Clearly, in the case of an epidemic, we must also avoid agglomerations, indoors, cinemas, theaters, etc., using surgical masks for protection, and goggles to protect eyes, can also absorb the virus. And there are no contra-indications for the procedure of self-hemotherapy believe a humanitarian issue, before the current

Information on Swing Flu
Ok This isn't a question about swing flu, more of a public announcement since everybody seems to have a lot of misconceptions. Ok, I will answer this appropriately, and I can asnwer this with authority, as I am actually an expert in epidemics and pandemics. What people don't realize is the fear of swing/brid flu is not the flu as it is, but rather what it could be. The spanish influenza was a mutated strain of bird flu (so theorized) that became airborn and also became more virulent. The threat is not so much what these flus are now, but the danger that one of these animal vector flu's will mutate like the Spanish influenza did, become A. completely airborn B. incredibly virulent and C. an indiscriminate killer, i.e. kills adults as readily as the young and the old. The problem is they have to start taking precautions every time a possibly virulent strain erupts. If they don't and they wait until it mutates then it will have spread so fast and so far by then that any measures they take will be nil and void. If a superflu occurs again, with transit as it is the deathtoll will be in the millions. These are just precautions that have to be taken to try and control the damage when a new superflu goes epidemic. And I do assure you, its a matter of when not if. As for the symptoms of swing flu, they are the same as the regular flu. I don't understand people asking for the symptoms os swine flu, they are the same as regular flu, and you have to go to the doctor to get tested to see if you have the regular flu or the swine flu. It is a good idea to get tested, because the swine flu is slightly more dangerous than the regularly flu, and you will also wish to seek treatment because the symptoms are just worse and more miserable in general. Pardon the spelling error, i did this on my iphone and predictive text changed it to swing, I didn't notice. For the record in the idiot who that out, its pretty obvious it wasn't a spelling error. As swing is not a spelling error so much as the wrong word. Only a petty person would bring up something like that which was obviously just an oversight.

Why is the swine flu a big deal Why are they covering every little case
No one has died outside of Mexico except one little kid who came from mexico to get treatment and just happened to die here. Why are they considering raising te alert level to 5 (the same level as the Spanish flu of 1918) The seasonal flu kills thousands every year. Why devote so much media attention to a bug that just makes you sick? More people die of cancer every day.

The Swine Flu how worried should we be
How many deaths have actually been reported and where? I know here in the US there has been one, but then it was also a little Mexican toddler who just came to the US, who was likely sick before entering here. How worried should we be, will it be something easily treated if treated in time, or will it still take a lot of victims no matter when treatment started, and no matter how good of care is given? Will it be similar to the Spanish (Lady) Flu of 1918 where it took the lives of 50-100 million people around the world?

Do you think that AIDS and other horrible STDs serve as a human selfmade punishment
for those who practice adultery? and no, I'm not just talking about homosexuals, like Eazy-E once said ""I'm not looking to blame anyone except myself. I have learned in the last week that this thing is real, and it doesn't discriminate. It affects everyone." ------- The first confirmed case of AIDS was identified on June 5, 1981. In four stories today, we look at the impact around the globe.JOHANNESBURG, South Africa (AP)—It began quietly, when a statistical anomaly pointed to a mysterious syndrome that attacked the immune systems of gay men in California. No one imagined 25 years ago that AIDS would become the deadliest epidemic in history. Since June 5, 1981, HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, has killed more than 25 million people, infected 40 million others and left a legacy of unspeakable loss, hardship, fear and despair. MORE ON AIDS Top 10 Mysterious Diseases Inside Look: How Viruses Invade Us Two Million Children with HIV HIV Traced to Wild Chimps Its spread was hastened by ignorance, prejudice, denial and the freedoms of the sexual revolution. Along the way from oddity to pandemic, AIDS changed they way people live and love. Slowed but unchecked, the epidemic's relentless march has established footholds in the world's most populous countries. Advances in medicine and prevention that have made the disease manageable in the developed world haven't reach the rest. In the worst case, sub-Saharan Africa, it has been devastating. And the next 25 years of AIDS promise to be deadlier than the first. AIDS could kill 31 million people in India and 18 million in China by 2025, according to projections by U.N. population researchers. By then in Africa, where AIDS likely began and where the virus has wrought the most devastation, researchers said the toll could reach 100 million. "It is the worst and deadliest epidemic that humankind has ever experienced,'' Mark Stirling, the director of East and Southern Africa for UNAIDS, said in an interview. More effective medicines, better access to treatment and improved prevention in the last few years have started to lower the grim projections. But even if new infections stopped immediately, additional African deaths alone would exceed 40 million, Stirling said. "We will be grappling with AIDS for the next 10, 20, 30, 50 years,'' he said. Efforts to find an effective vaccine have failed dismally, so far. The International AIDS Vaccine Initiative says 30 are being tested in small-scale trials. More money and more efforts are being poured into prevention campaigns but the efforts are uneven. Success varies widely from region to region, country to country. Still, science offers some promise. In highly developed countries, cocktails of powerful antiretroviral drugs have largely altered the AIDS prognosis from certain death to a manageable chronic illness. There is great hope that current AIDS drugs might prevent high-risk people from becoming infected. One of these, tenofovir, is being tested in several countries. Plans are to test it as well with a second drug, emtricitabine or FTC. But nothing can be stated with certainty until clinical trials are complete, said Anthony Fauci, a leading AIDS researcher and infectious diseases chief at the U.S. National Institutes of Health. And then there is the risk that treatment will create a resistant strain or, as some critics claim, cause people to lower their guard and have more unprotected sex. Medicine offers less hope in the developing world where most victims are desperately poor with little or no access to the medical care needed to administer and monitor AIDS drugs. Globally, just 1 in 5 HIV patients get the drugs they need, according to a recent report by UNAIDS, the body leading the worldwide battle against the disease. Stirling said that despite the advances, the toll over the next 25 years will go far beyond the 34 million thought to have died from the Black Death in 14th century Europe or the 20 to 40 million who perished in the 1918 Spanish flu epidemic. Almost two-thirds of those infected with HIV live in sub-Saharan Africa where poverty, ignorance and negligent political leadership extended the epidemic's reach and hindered efforts to contain it. In South Africa, the president once questioned the link between HIV and AIDS and the health minister urged use of garlic and the African potato to fight AIDS, instead of effective treatments. AIDS is the leading cause of death in Africa, which has accounted for nearly half of all global AIDS deaths. The epidemic is still growing and its peak could be a decade or more away. In at least seven countries, the U.N. estimates that AIDS has reduced life expectancy to 40 years or less. In Botswana, which has the world's highest infection rate, a child born today can expect to live less than 30 years.
