Well glad to see someone is speaking from the same world as me about government being criminal enterprise. But I do have an overwhelming intellectual question on the H1N1 vaccine after reading everything out there I can read. An explanation of why swine flu seems to hit the young the most says that a large percentage of the older population have been exposed to it through the years and that it has been in the vaccines in previous years. But doesn’t that raise the question if all of this were sincere, why wouldn’t they test people to see if they had previous exposure to H1N1. That is the missing question to me except that requires a belief that all of this is sincere when it is absolutely not as illustrated by the continual cries of pandemic and level 6 alert by the WHO going back 6 months.

But my main thing was not specific toward you as I wanted to cite NaturalNews.com and Mercola.com as good websites to read about nutrition and self-health. I think the swine flu hysteria is an opportunity to show people how we have been lied to all these years, not that the economy and the talk of immaculate recovery isn’t doing the same thing.

Why wouldn’t they test everyone for prior exposure?

One, even a subtle change in a virus’s structure can make alarming changes in virulence..and virus’s change constantly. Does prior exposure to a ‘similar’ virus confer immunity? No one knows that at this point.

Second, can you imagine the cost and administrative nightmare of testing hundreds of millions of people for prior exposure? The cost of doing that would probably exceed the cost of vaccintaing everyone (but that’s just a guess).

Viruses are rampant, varied and ever changing...our knowledge about them is NOT complete, nor is our ability to determine by testing who may or may not be vulnerable.

As much as I distrust government, I do not routinely assume that there is always some ulterior motive to what government tries to do. Additionally, the information on Naturalnews.com and the Mercola site are no more reliable than other more traditional medical sites. Take it for what it is worth, but I am not a big believer in self-health/natural medicine....but then again, as I said, I am a MD.

I've left links to Mike Adams/Natural News on this site and one time received a comment stating NN is all "lies and garbage," amongst other diatribe. When I left a link in the comments section on FR to Mercola (FreeRepublic will not accept links to Mercola as a MAIN post ... they cite copyright infringement, however, I've written Mercola and hopefully that can get straightened out with FR), I was told by one poster that the good doctor was "nothing but a quack." Since my own health has gone from sleeping 12 hours a night to sleeping 7 or 8 via the knowledge of a string of holistic physicians, including Dr. Mercola, it would be difficult at best for me to refer to him as anything but very helpful. Eat a piece of organic fruit and toss out the danish, go for a short walk, even longer if possible -- take vitamin D to ward off the flu -- these are all tips you get on either site you have cited. And while Mike Adams isn't quite as formal as Dr. Mercola, he does have a keen sense of humor in addition to being ridiculously healthy (not to mention handsome) and isn't laughter included in the very best medicine of all? Myself, I've got a couple of conventional-wisdom doctors and a couple of holistic ones. It would be great if they could work better together.

Have you seen Dr. Mercola's new site dedicated to information on swine flu alone?

And here is a link for y'all to Mike Adams' site, Natural News.

Another informational site: National Vaccine Information Center.
