Who Gets Pandemic Flu Vaccines First? Last?1

Posted by wellness in Health (October 23, 2008 at 8:52 pm)

Most experts and those not in the medical profession know that a flu pandemic is expected to hit at any time. Experts can’t predict the exact time or how serious it will be but when it happens, you will know it.

The World Health Organization expects 1.9 million deaths, 90 million people sick and nearly 10 million people hospitalized with an additional 1.5 million requiring intensive care. That’s just in the United States! WHO usually gives pretty conservative statistics so you know it could be worse than that.

I suppose that’s why the US Government has put so much effort into reorganizing FEMA and informing hospitals around the United States what to expect. It’s also why the government is trying to stockpile vaccines at critical times during the year.

So who will get first dibs on the vaccines? Influenza usually strikes from December to March. The Federal Government in 2008 published its “Guidance on Allocating and Targeting Pandemic Influenza Vaccine” report. It was put together by an intra-agency process from all sectors of government, including the US Dept of Defense, Homeland Security Dept. (DHS) and the HHS (Dept of Health and Human Services) with input from public, business and community organizations. Click to read the full report

The report’s purpose is to inform people about how they propose to protect the US population.

After reading it, I came to the conclusion that they felt that mission critical government personnel were to be the first recipients of any vaccines, then essential support and sustainment personnel working for the government, then intelligence services personnel working for the government, then border patrol personnel working for the government, then national guard personnel and other domestic national security personnel (policemen and women) and then other active duty and essential military personnel.

Okay, if there is any vaccine left after those people, then they will deliver vaccines to public health personnel at hospitals, then inpatient healthcare providers like nurses, then outpatient and home health providers, then healthcare providers in long term care facilities, next, community support and emergency management people, then pharmacists, then mortuary services personnel and other healthcare personnel. Got it?

If any vaccine is left, they will allocate it to EMS people, law enforcement, and fire fighters, manufacturers of the pandemic vaccines and antivirals, infrastructure personnel like nuclear plant workers, communications workers, electricity, oil and gas workers and water sector personnel.

Next will be financial clearing and settlement personnel, critical operational and regulatory government personnel, then banking and finance, chemical, food/agriculture, pharmaceutical, post office personnel and other critical government personnel.

Sounds good. The government will be safe and operational. If there is still any vaccine left, I assume all those government personnel will fan out to the general population and look first for pregnant women, then infants and toddlers 6-35 months old, baby sitters of infants, then children 3-18 who are very ill, then children 3-18 who are not ill, then those persons 19-64 who are ill. Finally, if there is any vaccine left, those healthy adults who are 65 and older will get theirs and last will be healthy adults from 19-64 years old.

Well, that’s quite a list. It reflects a definite set of priorities (survival of government agencies and functions at all costs, defense against the hordes of invaders from other countries, defense against all the healthy adults 19-64 years old who will rob and plunder the cities and helpless others.

Okay, if you’re now a healthy adult between 19 and 64 years of age, you are last on the list and perhaps most at risk in this scenario. The government knows there will be a shortage of vaccine because not until the exact form of the flu virus is known will vaccine-makers start to create a vaccine that works against it. This takes precious time and a lot of resources. So what can you do if you are last on the list?  Well I know what I am doing;

I am stocking up on the New Silver Solution from Nutronix International to protect me and my family. It is our family’s first line of defense against influenzas, cuts, scrapes, food poisoning, sore throats, stings and burns.  It really does help with each of those problems. In fact, I am certain that if we each take a tablespoon a day of it, we won’t need to worry about any flu pandemic. I feel certain we are protected. I hope you are too. The government though has been talking about stockpiling the patented New Silver Solution as well, although they must know that the small manufacturer of it (American Biotech Labs in Utah), the owner of the patents on it, doesn’t have the manufacturing capacity to fill such a huge order. Yes. There will be a shortage of New Silver Solution too when the pandemic is upon us.  That’s the main reason I’m doing a little stockpiling of my own - making sure we have enough for our family and friends.

I recommend you do the same. The New Silver Solution has a shelf life of over 10 years. It’s great because it helps with a lot of simple problems that I would normally go to the doctor for. In that way, I’ve saved a lot of money on co-pays etc over the past few years.

There is now a new silver solution gel just released too in a squeeze tube for cuts, scrapes, stings, burns and wounds of all kinds. It’s pretty amazing too using the same patented technology that the New Silver Solution is created with and that makes it so effective.

New Breakthrough Antibiotic vs TB and MRSA vs New Silver Solution0

Posted by wellness in Health (October 21, 2008 at 7:29 pm)

The Oct. 17 issue of the journal Cell  contains a description of an antibiotic compound called myxopyronin that scientists at Rutgers University say shows great promise in animal tests against drug-resistant strains of tuberculosis and the deadly type of staph known as MRSA.

Human tests haven’t begun yet but early results in animals point to possible success in human studies with the hope being that a product could be developed in 5 years.

I don’t know about you but as far as I am concerned, much of the research money that goes towards developing stronger and stronger antibiotics to defeat creatures with a very strong will to survive (bacteria) is counterproductive.

We do need to understand bacteria and how they function and how they survive and adapt but to tout the antibiotic as a destroyer of the superbug MRSA in its current form seems rather wasteful - especially since MRSA is already easily killed with a patented EPA-certified safe product that has been on the market for purchase for several years now.

Those people and hospitals and medical clinics that currently use the New Silver Solution as a first line of defense against superbugs like MRSA and SARS and many many others, already have a highly effective and low-cost product that they can keep for years in their emergency medical kits or in their medicine cabinets.  Pathogenic bacteria (those bacteria that can harm humans) are helpless against the New Silver Solution because it has a very different kill-mechanism than antibiotics - a kill-mechanism that bacteria cannot evolve defenses against.

The New Silver Solution is licensed to and exclusively distributed by Nutronix International. American Biotech Labs in Utah is the patent holder and manufacturer of this groundbreaking product.  What is surprising to me is how slowly word gets out about people-friendly products like this.  The US Government was however, pretty quick to catch on to this product’s usefulness in case of some type of bioterrorism attack and elements within the armed forces and Senator Orrin Hatch in particular have suggested it should be stockpiled in case there really is an outbreak of a deadly uncontrollable influenza.

I keep a lot of it in my emergency kits and use it for all kinds of ailments that my children bring home from school. In fact, I give each of them a teaspoon or tablespoon of it each morning before they go to school. Naturally they have perfect attendance.

I’ve been using it to clear up my youngest’s diaper rashes since she was born 7 years ago. The price for the New Silver Solution is very reasonable for all the uses it has. It’s a whole lot cheaper and safer than taking antibiotics, that’s for sure.  It is the only patented Silver Solution (or colloidal silver) on the market today. It is also certainly true that there are hundreds of colloidal silver products that sell for less and that make the same claims but none have clinical evidence and research to back up their claims like the New Silver Solution from Nutronix. Fact is, the only evidence they can present are anecdotal stories of how great colloidal silver is for so many things. Anecdotal stories do not count as research and clinical studies in the real world.
The fact is, this is the only silver product that can legitimately make the claims it does. Most other silver products have uneven quality and some are even dangerous.  It’s best to stick with the best.

One of the interesting asides about The New Silver Solution is that it has been found to work synergistically with antibiotics to make them more effective (or stronger) so if you’re taking antibiotics, it’s still safe to use the NSS.  Nice!

Be Well,

Giant George has part of foot amputed - MRSA0

Posted by wellness in Health (October 19, 2008 at 3:34 am)
The story below is about Big George, 7′7″ 380lb potential NBA star in the mold of giants like Shaquille O’Neil.
MRSA has evolved into a terrible plague in hospitals and elsewhere. The reason it has become a plague is because most people don’t know that there is a simple solution to getting rid of superbugs like MRSA infections and SARS and many other highly dangerous bacteria.  There was no excuse for what happened to big George.
He would have had a huge future in the NBA but because he didn’t know and his doctors didn’t know and no one around him knew about the inexpensive patented New Silver Solution from Nutronix International that easily kills these superbugs, his whole life has been irreparably limited as a result.  It’s so strange! One day, he’s in big man camp, the next, he’s having his foot amputated. The fact is, it should never have happened. It would never have happened had he known about or if anyone around him had known about NSS.  Heck, I would have volunteered to give him one of my 4 oz bottles of it if I had learned about it earlier.
Anyway, I hope people learn from this. There is a simple inexpensive product easily available that kills MRSA infections in 2 days at most with several applications. It’s called the New Silver Solution. Click MRSA to learn more or to order.
Don’t ever let something this easy to kill affect your life or those around you. It’s not an antibiotic but actually helps antibiotics to work better.  It also protects users from all Avian Flu bugs, West Nile Viruses, and a whole host of very common ailments like laryngitis, colds, flus etc etc.  This story is sad and the way I see it, ignorance can change your life.
Someone around him should have had it in their emergency kits. Geez!

ASHEVILLE, North Carolina (Ticker)—UNC Asheville center Kenny George had to undergo a partial amputation of his right foot due to a serious infection, the Asheville Citizen-Times reported on Friday.

At 7-7 and 370 pounds, George contracted the infection during Pete Newell’s famous Big Man Camp in Las Vegas over the summer. According to the report, the senior underwent at least two surgeries and other procedures to fight the infection. It is unknown when the amputation took place.

According to ESPN.com, the infection was MRSA, a potentially life-threatening staph infection that is resistant to antibiotics. MRSA is contracted from skin-to-skin contact through cuts or openings in the skin.

Although the 22-year-old’s condition is unknown, Asheville coach Eddie Biedenbach hinted in a statement to the Citizen-Times that George’s playing career could be over.

“This is a really terrible setback for Kenny,” Biedenbach said. “He worked so hard to get into the situation where he could play last year and was working hard to be ready for this season.

“To have basketball taken away from him seemingly isn’t fair.”

Gaining national attention two years ago due to size, George emerged as an impact big man last year. Despite playing just under 20 minutes a game, the nation’s tallest player averaged 12.4 points and a team-leading 7.0 rebounds as the Bulldogs recorded a school-record 23 wins.

George led the nation in field-goal percentage at 69.6 percent and set a school record with 93 blocks.

While he may never play again, Biedenbach told the paper that he does expected George to return to school.

Beauty Gel0

Posted by wellness in Health (October 15, 2008 at 3:27 am)

Have I told you yet about Beauty Gel? I don’t remember writing about it on this blog but it is something that you probably need to learn about. It’s a very high-quality silver gel at 24 ppm that was originally created for major wound care.

The product took three doctors 18 months to perfect.  The result is a silver gel product that I call a beauty gel since it was made to rub on the skin. It cleans and softens the skin like a moisturizer. It softens the skin within 2 minutes of being used.  It is a powerful product. It is perfect for cuts and scrapes and stings and rashes and many other types of skin conditions.

Click on the Beauty Gel link from Nutronix International to learn more about it or to order some.

Nutronix International has built its product line to include many outstanding health and wellness products.  Its Silver Gel is wonderful and refreshing on the skin. It was created with their patented silver sol technology - the same technology used to create the New silver solution.  

Americans Have Dirty Hands and Weakened Immune Systems0

Posted by wellness in Health (September 21, 2008 at 2:48 am)

We’re getting close to flu season again. Bird Flu will once again be in the news as scientists track its mutations this winter. Is your immune system healing your body or are you like many susceptible to catching flus? This type of flu spreads quickly through the respiratory system and kills pretty quickly. Are you ready for it? What are you doing to prevent flus and colds from entering and infecting your body?

One way to keep away germs that cause colds and the flu is to wash your hands well and often. But according to a new survey, Americans are falling behind in the hand hygiene department.

The Soap and Detergent Association is out with its 4th Clean Hands Report, and it gives Americans a C-minus.

That’s because some key hand-washing hygiene skills seems to have slipped.

Echo Research conducted the telephone survey of 916 heads of households, 458 women and 458 men, in August 2008 on the association’s behalf.

Hand Washing Slipping in America

Some key findings:

  • 85% of participants say they wash their hands after making a bathroom trip. But in 2006’s survey, that percentage was 92.
  • 46% of respondents say they spend 15 seconds or less washing their hands.
  • 39% never or seldom wash hands after coughing or sneezing.
  • 39% don’t always wash their hands before eating lunch. In 2006, that figure was 31%.
  • 56% of participants knew that regular hand washing is seen as the best way to prevent colds and flu.

In a news release, Nancy Bock with the Soap and Detergent Association says it’s time to get on board with hand washing.

“Americans should prepare for the onslaught of cold and flu season,” she says. “Cleaning your hands regularly throughout the day can help keep you out of the doctor’s office or the emergency room.”

This is a wake up call that every American should heed. We are living in an era that has many titles and many dangers lurking within. One of the newer titles to our age will be the Age of Pandemics. Already superbugs are growing more powerful and becoming more pernicious. Scientists and researchers are doing their best to tackle the problem and find a solution but to date have had limited success in pharmaceutical and antibiotic laboratories.

If you haven’t started slowly stockpiling the New Silver Solution from Nutronix International and the newest ‘Silver gel’ yet, you may be putting yourself and your entire family at risk of succumbing to one of the coming pandemics. The NSS works well with antibiotics -in fact, it strengthens antibiotics. By itself, the NSS is an EPA approved disinfectant that kills every deadly pathogen known to man. Much has been written about it (I have written several detailed articles and information about the NSS.

You can watch a 40 minute video about it from the VP of the company that makes it. Watch as he takes you through the research that has been conducted on this and learn why the US Government may be stockpiling this product. Don’t wait till it’s late. Learn more about it and how it will help you.
