Let’s get something straight right off the bat: I am a researcher, not an medical doctor. This gives me an advantage over medical doctors however, because I don’t have a medical bias that can cloud my judgment. I also haven’t been brainwashed by drug companies or through pharmaceutical education.

I do however, spend many hours each week making sure I am current on the latest information in fitness and nutrition, and this brings me to many studies and websites on health as well. I decided to write this blog for the benefit of the hundreds of clients at my X Gyms as well as others who might be worried about the latest flu outbreak.

I am only presenting the best information I have found so far, so you can do with it as you please and come to your own conclusions.

The facts however, prove that this is not just another swine flu outbreak. This particular strain also contains genetic material from the human flu and the bird flu. I haven’t found a credible expert yet who says that combination can occur naturally . This leaves only one other conclusion: that it is man-made. You can draw your own assumptions as to whether it is a weaponized version, or if it was released on purpose or by accident. There is plenty of information out there for you to look into those issues yourself.

To keep this short and simple, here are some links to the best sites I have found so far:

I am concentrating on eating garlic (cooking with it), vitamin C (through broccoli), onions (in my recipes), ginger root and turmeric (other ingredients in my recipes), and taking vitamin D3 and green tea (in supplement form).  All my food is organic, I am 100% sugar free, and I am drinking about 1 gallon per day of water filtered through reverse osmosis (wetcoolers.com).

I have been eating most of this stuff anyway through the recipes in my book Cracking Your Calorie Code, so I really didn’t have to make many changes. This also might explain why I rarely get sick despite that fact that I come in contact with dozens of people every day. I am also washing my hands often, exercising regularly, and concentrating on staying healthy (instead of “not getting” the swine flu – there is a big difference).

I will NOT take Tamiflu or receive a vaccine, whether mandated or not. I don’t trust drug companies, and especially not their vaccines. They are straight poison, and most do much more harm than good.

I don’t believe this strain will turn into a pandemic. If I am wrong, I’ll eat crow (organic free-range crow of course) and I will post updated info here. If this does fizzle out now, but then resurfaces, be sure to check back because that will bring out some suspicions that I will definitely have an opinion on.
