In April 2009 a new disease caused hospitals to
fill up with patients in Mexico. This disease is caused by the H1N1 virus,
a highly contagious strain of influenza that affects the upper respiratory
system in humans.
So far this year CDC
says there are 22 million cases of swine flu
in USA. However this is only 7%
of the population. Regular seasonal flu infects 5-20% of the
population.
The death rate of swine flu is much less than regular
seasonal influenza. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC)
36,171 people die
each year from complications associated with regular seasonal flu in the
United States. In contrast, only 672 people have died this year of swine
flu.
Polish
Health Minister rejects H1N1 vaccine. In the video below Mrs
Ewa Kopacz gives a speech in the Polish Parliament about serious issues with
the safety of the swine flu vaccine.
Dr. Mercola
says H1N1 virus scare is a hoax. All this panic over the Mexican Swine
Flu was a tactic to get people to pay for a needless
vaccine. But that's
not all. A previous batch of vaccine from
Baxter was contaminated with live Bird Flu virus.
What we now find is that this vaccine may
be dangerous and other vaccines
may be dangerous. There is a swine
flu scandal. Please look at the
video on Flu.
Bible on Health
Knowledge
about germs started with Louis Pasteur in the 1800's; later we became
aware of still smaller things that could spread disease, such as viruses
and prions; but the knowledge about our immune system and the way it
could protect our bodies from germs and viruses is a more recent
scientific achievement.
God created us so our immune system is made up of different types of
cells and substances. These cells behave as a police force, getting rid
of germs and toxic substances that will harm our bodies. Thus, our
bodies have the capability of repairing themselves. Cells have the
ability to reproduce, and given the right ingredients, they will
reproduce effectively to maintain a healthy body. The problem is that
we are not giving the body the ingredients it needs to maintain
health. Cells are not getting what they need to reproduce effectively.
But God knows what makes our bodies work best. We believe in the sanctity
of human blood. God in the Bible says
Isaiah
1:16Wash! Cleanse yourselves! Remove your sinful deeds from my sight.
Stop sinning!
This is because many diseases are spread through dirty hands. Also, many
disease like AIDS are spread thru sin. People need to understand that
prior to Luis Pasteur most men of science did not realize that our world
is full of microscopic germs. When we wash our hands with water and
soap, we remove harmful bacteria. This is why God tells us to wash our
hands.
Exodus 30:21So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they
die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, even to him and to
his seed throughout their generations.
God understands that dirty hands contain germs which are harmful to you.
Mark 7:3Now the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not take food without
washing their hands with care, keeping the old rule which has been
handed down to them.
The first thing that most physicians tell you about preventing the flu
is to wash your hands, and to do it often. Next thing they tell you is
to cover your mouth with tissue if you need to cough (to prevent
spreading the germs to other people.) Next thing is to eat healthy
food, not junk food devoid of what your cells need to bring you back to
your healthy state.
If you disobey God's commands you get sick. This is why God gives us
rules because He wants our benefit. The body God gave you has the
capability of curing itself from disease... if you give your body what
it needs to recover. So your next year resolutions should include these
2 question:
1) Am I eating healthier this coming year?
2) Am I following God's commandments?
