ARE YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES PROTECTED AGAINST
VIRAL & BACTERIAL OUTBREAKS THIS COMING WINTER?

The cold and flu season is upon us. Kids are back in school and the season's change is expected. This year the alarm is greater than before and we should show the proper respect for potentially dangerous viral diseases like the flu.

Are you one of those people among us that are capable of resisting the infection or simply suffering through it? This is a legitimate question which should be evaluated. Here are some facts:

	Every vaccine carries some risk. It's not the universal death and destruction voiced by the adamant anti vaccine lobby, but it's real and should be considered against the expected benefit.
	Recent flu vaccines have been displaying a higher incidence of certain reactions like Guillian-Barre.
	Flu shots are not a sure thing. They may not provide protection against pneumonia or bacterial infection.
	The fatality numbers used to alarm the public are not exactly truthful. They include deaths where flu was a factor but not the necessary cause. Closer examination shows that of 36,000 fatalities 34,000 should have been attributed to pneumonia or bacterial infection. Also, no consideration is given to age and how many were close to death before infection.
	The actual numbers are 3 out of 100 people that don't get the shot will get the flu. With the shot 2 out of 100 people will get the flu. So out of 100 people that get the shot only one person will be protected.
	Although it has not been 100% confirmed, many people have concerns and reservations about the components of the vaccine.
	There is no such thing as 100% protection but studies indicate that you can equal or exceed a shots protection. Basically healthy individuals can take steps to reduce their exposure that do not include shots.

***************************

We have three products for immune support. AZACT increases respiratory immune resistance, TRIVIRA stimulates the action of macrophages and T-cells and ZIRATE acts in the throat by direct contact with viruses, interrupting their cellular replication. They all work well, but they are more effective against colds rather than the flu.

SO NOW COMES 2D+, A UNIQUE VITAMINERALS PRODUCT.

2D+ increases resistance to: viral exposure, depression, osteoporosis, decreased thyroid and parathyroid function.

Science is showing correlations between immune function and low Vitamin D blood levels. It appears to be an important, if not primary factor in resistance. Doctors, wary of side effects and patient concerns, are writing that raising Vitamin D levels is more effective than placebos and flu shots in decreasing the incidence, And it's not dependant on researchers picking the correct strain to immunize against. It provides protection against all strains.

For most of us it's several achy, maybe miserable days in bed. Drink lots of liquids, take aspirin or APAP, and rest in bed; unless the infection takes advantage of your weakened condition. Then you may need antibiotics to get rid of it.

Government health authorities are advocating that every man, woman and child get a flu shot, Make no mistake, talk to your health care provider and follow their advice especially if you are in a risk group.

The main risk groups are infants and the elderly (those with a history of cardiac or respiratory problems and those with compromised immune systems or those simply not in the best of health).
