The Swine Flu

Posted on May 2nd, 2009 by Zentertainment Talk Radio : Composer.Musician.Producer.Radio Zentertainment Talk Radio
Hey!
While most people have been able to read this blog, some people have not. I am not sure why. I wrote it on a word document page and then copied it into this page. Perhaps that has something to do with it, although it shouldn't!

There is a more complete version of this blog, which is a transcript of my new podcast on the subject. You can find it at:

http://www.Zentertainment.org/josblog.php

Or just go to www.Zentertainment.org and click on the blog page.

If you go to the HEAR THE SHOW page at http://www.Zentertainment.org you can actually hear the podcast. Thanks so much for your amazing notes and I just want to say that it is great to be in a group of people who get it.

More on the Swine Flu
Eyery time I turn on the TV, all I am hearing about is this swine flu.
The Swine Flu Pandemic is- well not quite pandemic. Actually, not even close. 

I am not dismissing the tragedies in the cases resulting in death.

But why is the media focusing on this 24/7 around the clock?
It's news front and center, day and night.

What a circus!

There are SO many conditions that western medicine does not know how to treat. Is this news? Are we supposedly so shocked by this?

Are we suppose to think that this one virus makes us less safe just because our pharmaceutical companies have yet to come up with a vaccine for it?

And while we are talking about prescription drugs, are we suppose to believe that taking prescription drugs is the only way to create health and/or prevent disease? From 1998 to 2005 the FDA compiled reports that found that there were 90,000 incidents of dangerous side effects and deaths from prescription and over-the-counter medications.

So what is it about this swine flu that is making people so on edge? There are, to date, only 162 cases in the whole nation. 

We want security, or a sense of it even if that sense is only an illusion. We want to know we can be protected from every single thing and live forever and that we can live in a certain world. But life is not like this. I think the root of this swine flu anxiety is that we fear the unknown. 

What bothers me about this media coverage, is that we are hearing about this flu strain as if millions of people are dying at this moment. But to date, there have been only 162 cases in the entire United States.

We hear the fear, the anxiety, the panic in the news reportors' voices. the 24/7 coverage, it's one big drama. Now all we need is some eerie music to put under it all. Then we'd have the perfect news media created fear inducing package. 

Let's back up, take a deep breath, and put the "pandemic" into perspective. 

Cancer killed over 565,000 people in the US in 2008
Aids killed 12,543 people in the US in 2005
In the US there are more than 40,000 who die each year from car accidents.
In 2005 there were 16,888 alcohol related car accident fatalities.
Around 5.4 million deaths per year are caused by smoking.
About 30,000 people die per year from guns.
And don't even get me started on what lyme disease is doing and how treatment resistant it can be, or what auto immune conditions it is creating.

About 36,000 people die from flu related deaths each year. Those are the flu strains we know about. That is even with the flu vaccine. If the pharmaceutical companies can't do any better than this, why do we think they hold the answer to the swine flu?

The so called life saving flu shots that many people get, contain Ethylene Glycol- which is basically anti freeze, and Thimerosal- which is derived from mercury (which many experts think can induce auto immune conditions). Then there is the Phenol which is a carcinogenic agent, Aluminum, and Formaldehyde. Do I want these things in my body? I don't think so.

If we care about health as a country, let's get the chemicals out of our food, air and water. Let's quit feeding kids pounds of sugar and junk food. Let's stop buying meat from factory farms out there where animals who are sick and abused get slaughtered and their meat is sold. Let's get dangerous chemicals and endocrine disruptors out of cosmetics. Let's hear about these measures which could do far more to change the world then spending billions of dollars on pharmaceutical drugs which as it turns out, are showing up now in our water supply.

Let's investigate natural inexpensive products such as:

and

We cannot control everything, but we can do our best to create healthy immune systems. By what we eat, breathe, think and believe, we can do our best to support our bodies. And when it's time to go, hopefully we will each go with grace. Easier said then done. Perhaps. But we just have to do the best with what we have, and live each day the best we can. 

There is one thing I do believe. The only ones to profit from this non stop coverage of the "swine flu pandemic" will be the pharmaceutical companies. They are the ones who have everything to gain. But I am not buying the fear. It costs too much.
peace,
