[Essentially Ours] Re: A holisic solution to the so-called Swine Flu Epidemic
Dear EOilers, I'm allowing this post, but I will not 
facilitate any arguments about this.  I believe that 
Simone has a right to clarify her position, but let's 
end with this one, okay?  Please read her last paragraph 
as the 'bottom line', which is what I think her desire was 
in sharing this in the first place. Thank you, Mary Lou
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well here is a fact that I'd like to share that is from the World  
Health Organization in Geneva and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control  
and Prevention in Atlanta as reported by John Lauerman:
"Q: Why are health officials concerned about the outbreak of swine  
flu? A: When flu viruses mix their genes with one another, they can  
take on new forms. New flu viruses are harder for the immune system to  
defend against. With little or no opposition from the immune system,  
they can grow quickly and invade many TISSUES and ORGANS. They may  
also set off a harmful immune overreaction in the body, called a  
"cytokine storm," that may be lethal in itself. The swine flu virus  
from Mexico may have the ability to spread quickly and kill people,  
possibly causing a worldwide pandemic, according to the WHO.  
Researchers are conducting studies to determine how easily the virus  
spreads in people and how dangerous it is."
This FACT sounds like there are no definite facts about this  
particular version strain of the Swine Flu at this moment. it seems  
what is mis-leading is to make such a statement that there is somewhat  
a possibility that new flu viruses CAN invade TISSUE & ORGANS, but  
then on the other side of the coin, say eating the meat, which tissues  
are a part of, is harmless.
On the level of the pig being 'flithy', well that IS my opinion that I  
have a full right to own, whether others who are animal lovers agree  
with it or not.
We can go back and forth about this with fact after fact, but in the  
end I thank you for sharing your opinion as I respect it Susan. I may  
not agree, but I can respect it. Therefore there is no need to be  
offended as if YOU were personally attacked. Unfortunately, I do not  
share your sentiment that this particular case is "natural" as you  
stated.
And Sherry, if I could just make a correction about your post.  If you  
would please review my post you would see that I never said that there  
were any media outlets which stated that you CAN contract the Swine  
Flu by eating pork. What I said was, "By the way, news media is  
sharing that this strain of the flu CANNOT be obtained by simply  
eating 'the pig' aka pork..."  So yes I agree that you did not hear  
any media outlets stating that you can get it by eating pork, because  
that is not what I wrote. I just shared a common sense perspective to  
the statement that has been repeatedly made by media outlets. But  
thanks for chiming in anyway.
Anyway, my purpose for posting this was to shed light on the fact that  
while we are looking outside of ourselves for the answer on how not to  
become a casualty of this Swine Flu, the answer lies within us to,  
improve our mental , physical and spiritual awarenesses so that they  
manifest optimum immunity along with being aware of what we decide to  
fuel our bodies with on a regular basis. No where in my post did I  
ever state that anything I shared was to be considered facts.  Facts  
and common sense have two different meanings and what I shared was my  
opinion about common sense according to the facts I have read thus far.
Happy Health!
Simone
