Right now I find myself in the middle of the pandemic of the Mexican swine flu, yes and I am saying Yikes !! I have relatives here in the state of Jalisco Mexico and well I am visiting them as we speak. One I am not planning on traveling back to the U.S right now and two when I do return I am thinking that an airplane is not a good Idea.

Right now the Mexican authorities have shut down schools, night clubs and public places in order to prevent the spread of the disease, they have said most people that have died from the epidemic are between the age of 20 to 50 years old, once again no reason why, other than Pneumonia or respiratory issues,   but then again that is very questionable, since most of the deaths have been in Mexico city, we don’t know if  the people affected were malnourished, experiencing low immune deficiency or something else.

The last thing I want to do  if I do get sick is to have to walk in to a pubic health institution or pharmacy in Mexico where I know the virus can be lurking, many have said that Tamiflu helps prevent or fend off the disease, but right now we are in a position with the Mexican authorities that anything they say is questionable.

In the meantime what can we do?

1- keep it clean, wash your hands avoid large crowds and if you see anyone coughing or sneezing run like hell.

2 – Get plenty of sleep, keep your body rested, don’t get rundown or stressed as stress can only make things worse.

Try to avoid eating out, eat  your meals at home, this will avoid contact with other people and you will know how the food has been prepared.

3- If you do have symptoms visit a private doctor and have tests done.

4- There are many herbal remedies and supplements that you can take to help improve your immune system and  help  keep it strong  and remove toxins from your body.

Remember folks. I am in Mexico right now and no one knows the severity of this whole thing, but it has been considered pandemic now, so stay healthy keep you body healthy and hopefully we can all make it trough this virus scare.

In the meantime remember there are many things you can do to maintain a healthy immune system,  including  taking plenty of Vitamin C eating healthy foods and adding important supplement to your body with natural products.

If anything else earth shattering happens regarding this swine flu I will continue to post here.
