I'm starting to think what the CDC does is basically guesswork in a long white coat.

1976: The much ballyhooed remake of King Kong from film producer Dino De Laurentiis is released. I remember seeing an editorial cartoon showing the giant ape, after the epic battle, laying dead in the city streets, while two passersby stood gazing at the scene and the caption:

i think it would be a good idea to eat a little extra raw garlic. i am gonna start doing that in the next day or two.

i haven't been eating hardly any garlic lately; but when there is alot of illness or i feel like i am getting sick, i eat a piece of raw garlic about the size of a medium English pea once a day with food. When i do it that way, i don't have any digestive problems with the garlic.

Garlic is largely ignored by our doctors; but i think it is better than prescription antibiotics. it doesn't kill the good 'bugs' like they do; just the bad.

my DD is allergic to penicillin; so that is when i looked into a natural antibiotic substance. i was certainly skeptical at first; but here are our results. She has not needed a prescription antibiotic for the last 12 years and has been exposed to all the normal stuff kids are exposed to in a public school - colds, strep throat, ear infections, bronchitis, etc.

I have only taken a prescription antibiotic once in those 12 years.
And my DH had athletes foot that nothing would cure. He thinks he probably got it in Vietnam. I finally talked him into rubbing a cut clove of garlic on it. He did it twice and then once more a few months later. That was about 2 years ago and it is still gone.

Besides, eating a little raw garlic certainly won't do any harm. Neither will a little extra Vitamin C.

And if anyone has had to be on an antibiotic; i would certainly consider a probiotic of some sort. i used kefir just a couple of times and my digestive health is better than it had been in years.

Fay, have you read "Priobiotic Revolution"?  I'm just starting to learn about them and the results discussed in the book, if even 1/2 true are very interesting.

My son is 16 and has never had mainstream antibiotics.  I haven't had mainstream antibiotics in over 20 years.
 
And garlic is an excellent thing !!

Garlic, fresh ginger root, and tumeric are all excellent "natural" antibiotics.  I'm thinking swine flu is a virus, and won't respond to conventional antibiotics anyway.
Again, IF and  once you have it, think twice before trying to "boost" your immune system. I think I'll be using my neti pot as a preventitive for a while as well. Wash your hands a lot if out in public or coming into contact with people you don't know.
