Nationwide flu outbreak?

Coming from someone who was sick 3-6 times a year without fail... it's staggering to me that I've not been sick in over 18 months. Except that azamax/azatrol bio-accumulation issue I just went through... not the same thing though.

Seriously folks... best prevention is a healthy immune system. Choose your foods by your blood type. You won't find mono or di-glycerides, natural flavors, hydrogenated oils or any chemical flavoring or whatever... on anyone's neutral or avoid list. Don't eat them, stick to the list.

Here's the list I've been following for the last few years.


Learn it, live it, love it. Stop getting sick.

My immune system literally fights off illnesses in hours instead of weeks and it's mildly uncomfortable to almost un-noticeable at times. You've got to experience it to believe it.

Stay Safe! :blowbubbles:

Perhaps thats the answer for some, do you have a list of foods that reduce your immune system though? I'd love to get off the pills to suppress my immune system. Having a kick ass IS not always a good thing.

Woot.

Hempyftw - Are you saying that getting the flu "is a real problem?" Or are you changing the subject to cancer and implying that the same people that wont get flu shots are the same people that treat cancer with shamans? A bit of a stretch IMO. BTW, it's spelled "pray," not prey.

I don't think getting the flu is "a real problem" if you don't already have a week immune system or other medical conditions. Just as it's been pointed out in this thread, the flu is really only a problem for the weak. Don't matter if your weak because of a recent trauma, old age, young age, HIV, or even on immune system suppressants because of a surgery/operation, etc...

Well I know for a fact, when me or anyone in my family passes out, gets extremely sick, has an injury, etc... I'll be going to the local ER or family doctor to get what is best done.

Feel free to go to the closest shaman, Indian healer, prey?, etc... Maybe even find out what the doctors suggest, and go out to the amazon and pick the herbs yourself.

I didn't change the topic to cancer, this guy did. I didn't even use the word cancer.

take cancer for example where we still pump radiation into people hoping it will kill the cancer before the person or a multitude of invasive surgical procedures that cause life threatening trauma that have been cured with herbs for millennia that we now clearly know have the active chemicals we need,, its not "alternative medicine" like people "love" (are brainwashed) to call it, all the medicine the agripharma nazi corporations refine come from or were originally found in plants, but they refine the one thing out of thousands and prescribe that, its just another example of caveman thinking.. plants contain bifunctional compounds which balance the system pharamceuticals just correct one side of the equation so have to be taken more often than not either for life or until the persons system rebalances itself..

caveman1: "ghh me have lump"

caveman2: "ok me get knife and cut"

and guess what? the lump come back..

caveman1: "ghh me have lump again"

caveman2: "ok me get radiation you drink"

caveman1 dies but the system goes on..

they are trying to do exactly that and refine out one thing that can be patented for the "beautiful beautiful money myesss" (rubs hands) with cannabis but again we know it is the multitude of chemicals within it that have curative properties and if you refine them out it doesnt work..

I simply said if he wants to make his own medications to treat serious conditions for himself and loved ones, that's his own right! Certainly not the path I'll be taking. I feel some what obligated to suggest you not follow his path for your loved ones! I give medical advice to people on a daily basis, one of my business cards has my name ending with a D. Not sure what his qualifications are.

Sorry I mistyped. I wouldn't know anything about praying. Never been a believer. When people ask to pray before a meal, I usually ask if I can pray to my god afterwards, and proceed to get a little crazy! One thanksgiving I gave thanks to Buddha and the devil in the same sentence.

Change your diet to compatible foods... stop using all the chemical non-foods in the processed crap.

THEN see how your immune system is behaving. Seems that nearly everything works more like it's supposed to... when you have the right foods going through you.

Wouldn't be surprised at all if you had to reduce or stop using them 'pills'.

Stay Safe! :blowbubbles:

I don't nor have I ever eaten processed foods. If you knew of something that would actually harm the immune system I'd try it and see if things improve, Maybe processed foods are the answer for me.

According to that website, there is not a good blood type for bacon, this sir, is a travesty.

I'll never be able to follow a non bacon diet. You must be crazy! haha

most of you are lil bitches when it comes to being sick and you know who you are. the realest ppl on here are the ones that have been sick and know that it zaps the shit outta you

if you don't know by now that these viruses/bacteria change and mutate over time then you really need to leave the botany alone for a llil while and check out the other aspects of science.

you want prime examples of how shit spreads? the movies CONTAGION and QUARANTINE show/say it all. its either gonna be some biohazard psycho or some unclean shit that someone misses coming from some third word country and by the time its figured out its gonna be too late.

wanna build your immune system? stop circumventing it with antibiotics and vaccinations and other shit medications. and if im a "sheeple" then most of you are the monkeys that spread things, playing with bat shit and the like, oh wait I forgot, it mysteriously becomes a "plant nutrient addiitive" once that reputable company puts it in a bag for you.

trust me, mother nature is gonna off your sorry asses one way or another so buck up

Autoimmune disease I would imagine?

Didn't you learn about that in one of your biology classes? Or maybe in your 15 years in the biology field?

no well you see i didnt go to a top 10 pharmaceutical university in the us so please forgive me for not instantly seeing that :bashhead:

of course i must know everything because i said that so much didnt i?

damaging your immune system is a retarded way of mediating an inappropriate auto immune response so i wouldnt think for a second about it.. but you pill pushers love running people down im sure..

just for the record top 10 in america is nothing impressive by global standards..

I'm not a doctor, have no medical training at all, I rely on a team of specialists at a uk hospital to tell me the best way of dealing with stuff. After years of doing this and that, this is what their only solution is, and its not great. They may be retarded, when it comes to medical decisions I am far more retarded though, and rely on their advice. If there was a specific food that's known to hamper the immune system, I'd try it I think, but I wouldn't stop taking medication until I saw a drastic improvement from the food. Don't take this the wrong way, but I think to stop taking specialists advice, based on a post on a stoner's website, would be a retarded thing to do.

i would never call you retarded or anyone searching for answers to correct their health.. for me its the overall scientific approach to health that is retarded.. and its not even the doctors faults for a second either because they just do what they were taught like my friend hempy.. i just use very colourful dramatic language thesedays because this is still a philosophical divide in my opinion, one that has already caused so many good people to have died utterly miserable early deaths because of this blind one sided approach we take in the west..

i've seen both sides of this for myself, fuck the books and studies..

It might not be preached in lecture halls, but it makes sense.

It's generally accepted that if your cholesterol is high, the proper diet and exercise, will lower it. - Or be lazy and take your meds. Most people are lazy.

If GMT can take less prescription medication by altering his diet alone, why would you think this is a retarded idea?

It's the same principle. If he can find a way to suppress his immune system from destroying his own cells, he may be able to use less meds.

You yourself were preaching less meds, big pharma, docs, etc...

The meds that he takes now which he says greatly help him, may be able to be replaced, or partially replaced with a new diet. It's always a trade off symptom/affects with medications. No doctor will tell you meds are without side affects

And if you think the people with smocks and stethoscopes are killing people off, why does the average life expectancy continue to go up? As we have advances in medicine and further our understanding, we continually increase the average quality/time of life.

I feel like your arguing to argue......An you just pull false statements out of no where lol.

U.S. pharmaceutical schools not the best you say? Please enlighten me what country so vastly out does the U.S? Oh right.... You made that up too. You have no idea.

The U.S has 8 of the top 10 pharmaceutical schools in the world. It also has more then half of the top 50 ranked schools in the world. Please show me where your information is coming from.
