Swine Flu Masks in Big Demand

healthandsurvival — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 13:57:30 +0000

There are various manufacturers of flu masks that can help minimize risk of infection with swine flu. I personally recommend the Wein ViraMask self adhesive mask. This mask (N99 or N95) has a great seal and provides maximal protection. They also produce masks which fit a child’s face for about $2.95 each. This child sized mask will help minimize a child’s risk against contracting swine flu infections.

Workers are fighting the flu around the clock at the Alpha Pro Tech factory in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Since last spring’s outbreak of the H1N1 Influenza Virus, also known as swine flu, orders for the company’s N95 respirator masks have soared, and demand is growing with the onset of the fall flu season.

“We expect sales to continue to be much stronger than normal for the foreseeable future,” Al Millar, president of Alpha Pro Tech , said.

Buy back orders are expected be made up quickly, with production expanded threefold, Millar said. With every machine operating 24 hours a day, seven days week, the company is now producing 240 per minute, about 1,000 cases per day.

It’s a big undertaking for a small company, but its second-quarter revenues were up 63 percent to a record $14.5 million from the first wave of the pandemic, led by a 184 percent increase in its mask sales.

Millar said he sees their work as an important line of defense in the reaction to the pandemic. As flu season progresses, his biggest challenge may be maintaining staffing levels if his workers or members of their families fall ill.

Alpha Pro Tech last ramped up production like this with the SARS outbreak of 2006. Back then, the contingency plan for an outbreak in Utah was to house workers who were willing in the production facility so they could keep working, he said...read more here…

Dangerous Mercury Levels in Your Blood?

healthandsurvival — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 13:48:20 +0000

NaturalNews) It’s no secret mercury is a dangerous toxin that accumulates in the human body and can produce disastrous health problems involving multiple organ systems. It’s known to be a risk to unborn babies, too. Unfortunately, as NaturalNews has reported, mercury contamination of our environment and food sources is rampant. For example, scientists have found that fish(http://www.naturalnews.com/025935_m…) and high fructose corn syrup (http://www.naturalnews.com/026528_m…) are often loaded with the dangerous heavy metal. Now comes this worrisome news: deposits of mercury in the bodies of Americans are increasing at an alarming rate and the health repercussions could be staggering.

Mercury especially targets the liver, the immune system and the pituitary gland. Numerous studies have associated chronic mercury exposure with elevated risks for autism, mental impairment and neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease. Previous research by U.S. Environmental Protection Administration (EPA) researchers estimated that chronic mercury exposure caused between 300,000 and 600,000 American children to be born with elevated risks of neurodevelopmental disorders between 1999 and 2000...read more here…

NY Nurses Protests Swine Flu Vaccine-

Albany nurses and other health professionals are planning to stage a rally next week to protest a state regulation that mandates they will lose their jobs if they refuse to take the swine flu shot, as fears grow about the vaccine’s dangerous ingredients and government plans to forcibly inoculate whole populations with the H1N1 jab.

Earlier today we reported on the case of “Clare,” a daycare worker in Albany who, despite having minimal contact with hospital staff who work in a separate building, an exemption allowed in the official decree, was ordered to take the seasonal flu shot on the spot or be fired. She was also advised that the same procedure would be in place for the swine flu shot, as is outlined in the New York State Department of Health’s emergency regulation issued in August.

Now nurses across the state are standing up against government intimidation to take the shot, pointing out that the vaccine has not been properly tested and contains mercury, squalene and other dangerous additives….

Kissing in France is Banned…

healthandsurvival — Sun, 13 Sep 2009 17:25:51 +0000

French companies and schools are bringing in kissing bans to try to stop the spread of swine flu.Skip related content

The peck on the cheek known as “la bise” – a traditional greeting in France – has been outlawed by large firms like insurance giant Axa, which has told employees to salute each other with a wave of the hand rather than a kiss or handshake.

Schools in the town of Guilvinec, in Brittany, western France, were the first to introduce a bise ban for teachers and students.

Mayor Helene Tanguy said: “I asked the children not to kiss anymore. I felt that the protections sought to wash hands regularly, not throw used handkerchiefs around, and not cough any old way had no meaning if we let the kids keep kissing.”…read more here

Children are at high risk for swine flu.

healthandsurvival — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 23:53:23 +0000

Children appear to be at higher risk for swine flu than adults according to studies. There are several things one can do to help reduce risk of viral transmission according to Dr. Eric Madrid.

1. Wash hands frequently. Consider regular hand gel use.

2. Sneeze into your elbow, not into your hands. When one sneezes into their hands and then touches a door, a shopping cart or shakes hands- germs are easily spread.

3. Optimize intake of vitamin D and sunlight exposure. Influenza viruses are spread more during the Winter and Spring when blood vitamin D blood levels lower. Have their physician check your child’s vitamin D level. I recently checked my daughters and she surprisingly was vitamin D deficient- this was in the middle of summer. Learn more about vitamin D by reading Vitamin D Prescription

4. If you are traveling, consider a N95 ViramMask or child’s mask. Wein Products has manufactured the only line of self adhesive masks. This is a must for those planning on Winter travel.

5. The Swine Flu vaccine is not yet read as of this posting. However, clinical trials are underway. It is hoped that the new vaccine won’t be as dangerous as the 1976 swine flu vaccine. Talk to your physician if the swine flu is right for you or your children. According to a recent report, vaccination may be mandatory or forced, under penalty of a $1,000 fine or 6 months in prison.

Article Below from Bloomberg.

By Tom Randall

Aug. 27 (Bloomberg) — Children were 14 times more likely to be sickened by swine flu than adults 60 and older, the age group that is typically the most at risk for influenza, according to a U.S. study of the disease.

Children ages 5 to 14 became ill with swine flu, also known as H1N1, at a rate of 147 per 100,000 people, according to the study of 1,557 confirmed illnesses, including seven deaths, in Chicago from April to July, months when the flu virus usually doesn’t spread. The findings were reported today by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta.

U.S. health officials are planning a vaccination campaign that will focus on those who are disproportionately affected by H1N1, which include children, pregnant women and adults with underlying health conditions. A separate CDC study released today from New Zealand showed swine flu targeted younger people and dominated other virus strains after circulating for just one month during the winter, when influenza is more active.

“Like other Southern Hemisphere countries with temperate climates, New Zealand entered its winter season with co- circulation of both seasonal and 2009 pandemic influenza strains,” said the authors of today’s report, published in the CDC’sMorbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. “The number of viruses identified as 2009 pandemic influenza rapidly overtook the number identified as seasonal influenza.”

In New Zealand, the number of patients with flu symptoms who sought medical attention was 1,518 doctor visits for every 100,000 people from May 3 to Aug. 2, according to the report by the CDC…read more here…

Swine Flu Could Infect 150 million in USA

Swine Flu Could Infect Half of U.S.
Presidential Panel’s Estimate Is First To Gauge Possible Impact of Pandemic

By Rob Stein
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, August 25, 2009

Swine flu could infect half the U.S. population this fall and winter, hospitalizing up to 1.8 million people and causing as many as 90,000 deaths — more than double the number that occur in an average flu season, according to an estimate from a presidential panel released Monday.

The virus could cause symptoms in 60 million to 120 million people, more than half of whom might seek medical attention, the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology estimated in an 86-page report to the White House assessing the government’s response to the first influenza pandemic in 41 years.

Although most of the cases probably would be mild, up to 300,000 people could require intensive care, which could tie up all those beds in some parts of the country at the peak of the outbreak, the council said.

“This is going to be fairly serious,” said Harold E. Varmus of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York, co-chair of the 21-member council. “It’s going to stress every aspect of our health system.”

The estimates mark the first time experts have released specific calculations about the possible U.S. impact of the pandemic. The “plausible scenario” is based on previous pandemics and how the swine flu behaved in the United States this spring and during the Southern Hemisphere’s winter over the past few months, said Marc Lipsitch of the Harvard School of Public Health, who helped prepare the estimate...read more here…
