There are now sixteen people in the UK whose immune system has failed them, and let them catch "Swine ‘flu". Most of these caught it in Mexico. None of them are particularly ill, as this is turning out to be a relatively mild strain of ‘flu.
The truth is, it looks like it’s peaked and is reducing in intensity - but no-one wants to say so, just in case there is a late surge and it turns into a pandemic after all. So the authorities are not telling us the whole truth in case we become complacent.
The fifteenth victim boosted his celebrity value by sending a picture of himself talking on the phone, to the UK Daily Mail newspaper. A National Health Service spokeswoman said this victim was experiencing: "mild cold-like symptoms". No cause for panic then 
We are advised by UK authorities to take extra care to wash hands and to cough and sneeze into a hanky.
Genetic Test for Swine ‘Flu
Scientists at Southampton University, UK, will very soon – a matter of days - have a DNA test for Swine ‘flu ready. This will be packaged and ready to be delivered throughout Europe in about 2 weeks. This DNA test will mean that swine ‘flu can be identified in a victim in 2 hours. This is a fantastic result which will tell the hospital which antibiotic treatment to use to help boost the immune system and other steps they need to take.
This is all made possible because the US Centre for Disease Control published the DNA profile of the virus’s for the University to work on. Southampton was then able to work on this data. This is ‘futuristic’ medicine indeed.
Herbs for BOOSTING the Immune System
One piece of advice to avoid any infection is – build the immune system to keep it vibrant and strong.
The best foundation for building the immune system is to make sure you have an excellent lifestyle – a great diet, sufficient exercise, good body weight. On top of this, it’s a very good idea to add in relevant immune system herbs.
Three good herbs and herbal combinations for the immune system are:
1. The 90-day Immune Programme with Capsules or with Drops
2. Echinacea Capsules or Drops, and
3. Power Garlic Capsules
1. The 90-day Immune Programme. This comes in two forms:
a. The 90-day Immune Programme with Capsules contains:
- Echinacea Compound Capsules – a well-proven immune system formula to boost the immune system containing Echinacea mixed with three other great herbs – including a special low-odour garlic. This formula has stood the test of time. It has been used successfully for 25 years to counter infections. In some cases it proves a valuable alternative to a drug antibiotic (though sometimes you just have to be on the safe side and use the drug, of course).
- Lym Capsules: an effective immune formula based on Clivers and Pau d’Arco.
- Pau d’Arco Tea: – a great immune boosting herb herb from South America.
b. The 90-day Immune Programme with Drops contains:
- Echinacea Drops – pure echinacea. This product is the powerful FLUID EXTRACT – not the more commonly found, and much weaker, tincture.
- Lym Drops: a lovely immune formula based on Clivers, Yarrow and Calendula.
- Pau d’Arco Tea: – an immune system herb from South America.
2. Echinacea Capsules or Drops
The benefits of Echinacea in boosting the immune system are widely known. For this purpose it is the best selling herb in the UK. When you want to boost the immune system, or if you have an infection, or are at the beginning of one, it is fine to take 2 or 3 times the usual dose. Take 2, or even 3, capsules, 3 times a day; or 30 or even 45 drops (FE) 3 times a day in water or juice.
These Echinacea Drops are the fluid extract (FE) form – best for the immune system. This FE is 3 or even 4 times stronger than the more usually found tincture.
When making a fluid extract (FE), one kilo of the herbs is always used to produce 1 litre of the resulting FE. Whereas with a tincture, much less is always used – usually, a kilo of the herb will make 3 or even 4 litres of tincture!
So, 50 ml of this FE is 3 or 4 times stronger than 50 ml of a tincture of the same herb. This makes the Echinacea Drops (FE) excellent value when compared with the UK’s market-leading Echinacea liquid – which is a tincture.
By checking the back of the label you can see just how weak a tincture is compared to an FE; it will say "3:1" (3 to 1) or 4:1. FEs are much stronger; much more convenient to carry around; and you need less of them, so they are usually much cheaper.
3. Power Garlic Capsules – Build the Immune System
This fantastic low-odour garlic – for the immune system. This is a top selling product to boost the immune system.
We recommend you take 2-3 capsules every day. Using Power Garlic Capsules you will take garlic without the ‘garlic odour’, but also without losing the garlic’s power, through poor drying methods some other brands do use.
Power Garlic Capsules offer a very high quality garlic product, organically grown in the USA. We have sold it for nearly 20 years and have many satisfied customers.
The Best Herbs for the Immune System?
My top recommendation is our first choice above – number 1; the 90-day Immune Programme – either with capsules or with drops. This is the most comprehensive approach. It includes an Echinacea product; and the capsules version includes our great Power Garlic Capsules.
For lower cost: choose the Immune Programme with Drops version – it works out a little cheaper in use. For convenience – most people find capsules more convenient – so choose the with capsules version.
You choose which suits you.
90-day Immune Programme with Capsules
90-day Immune Programme with Drops
Alternatively, go for a 3 month course of either Echinacea Drops or Power Garlic Capsules.
Stay Healthy
Let’s hope this ‘pandemic’ does not materialize; but also, let’s prepare our immune systems to stay strong using the measures mentioned above. We are then in the best condition to deal with "swine ‘flu", "Asian ‘flu", "avian bird ‘flu" or any other "’flu"!
