The current Swine Flu epidemic has caused a lot of concern over the possible repercussions since there is no viable vaccine that will remedy the illness. Swine Flu is actually, according to the CDC, a combination (or recombination) of pig, avian (bird) and either sheep or cow viruses. Somehow all of these separate viruses combined themselves together and jumped species to humans. Sound familiar?
When the AIDS virus first began making news about 1981, we were told by the CDC that 3 Africans had sex with a green monkey and these normal homebodies then began traveling world-wide and spread AIDS to the rest of the world. Now we are being asked to believe something equally absurd has happened with three separate viruses to cause this new swine flu epidemic. As of April 24, 2009 these are the current statistics: 149 dead in Mexico, 1,614 infected 40 infected in the United States 6 infected in Canada 10 infected in New Zealand 20 suspected infected in Spain 14 suspected in Britain 1 Infected in Israel Looking at these stats it is assumable that this epidemic began in Mexico. And again we hear the mantra that black and brown people are just so environmentally unclean that these diseases naturally come from wherever they inhabit. If these assumptions were being made of the Jewish people, there would be international outrage by Jews at being singled out for possible harassment and embarrassment. But who will speak up for Mexico? Who spoke up for Africa when the first lie was released. There appears to be a continual attempt to vilify certain black and brown segments of American society. But the question is why? If you have been paying attention, the answer is simple. If this is a manufactured (or recombined) virus. . . who is responsible? Who has the finances to use the very expensive recombinant DNA series to manufacture this deadly disease? Who has the necessary resources to package it and implement its exposure into a select group of people? And who has the will and the callousness to attempt to genocidally wipe out entire nations without a second thought? If it is not a manufactured virus, then we really need to find that human who had such intimate contact with a pig last week and a bird earlier this week because he would then be patient zero. The fact is folks, this is only the beginning of these deadly diseases. . . in all probability, there may be more. We need to start asking the right questions and hold our leaders responsible for the answers they give us. We also need to look at the major pharmaceutical companies that stand to cash-in on this epidemic. What have their stocks done in the past month? What were they doing six months ago? What are they doing today? I truly hope I am 100% wrong, but. . . in the meantime, just follow the money.
The H1N1 virus swine flu shots should arrive in October. Did you know that the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) is recommending that at risk groups should get both the regular flu shot and the two series H1N1 virus flu shots? Wow, that means you will have to get three shots. That scares the “heck” out of me and I am in the at risk group because of my age. Will I take these shots? Not on your life and not on mine! Why? I am a vegetarian and have built up my immune system everyday to combat against this and any virus! You need to start today to plan to stay healthy this fall, this flu season and all year round. It is not the responsibility of the government, the CDC and medical community to make and keep you healthy. It is your responsibility. There is absolutely no proof that taking these three shots will “prevent” you from getting the swine flu. We all are at risk. Would I and should you put your life in the hands of a government that has (1) all but allowed our economy to collapse; (2) can’t figure out how to fix a failed health system; (3) has drowned us in debt and untold lives lost with 2 wars. Need I go on? You, my friend must take responsibility for your own health and not sit back and allow the government to tell you what to do. Here are five reasons why going vegetarian will help you avoid getting the H1N1 virus (swine flu):1. ”Vegetarians avoid pork – dah!” – I get very annoyed when people refer to the CDC and say that according to the CDC swine flu is not spread from eating pork. Great! That solves all the problems, the CDC said… Making statements like this is going to the root of rescuing the agri-business of it’s responsibilities. Well guess what, genius, swine flu is from pork and “is endemic in pigs“ (see Wikipedia) . So rhetorically, I ask that person if we didn’t have pigs, would we have the H1N1 virus? We can play word and mental gymnastics on the subject all day long!2. “Vegetarians immune systems are better” – carnivores can challenge me on this one. We can agree to disagree but recent studies and books all point to the fact that we are predominantly vegetarian and a vegetarian lifestyle is healthier than a meat eating one. You either accept this or you don’t and the proof is try it and see. That is where I lose 90% of my customers because they refuse to find out for themselves! 3. ”Vegetarians are more health conscious” – I have yet to find a vegetarian who isn’t very serious about his/her health! We aren’t trying to demand people be vegetarian. We just say that if you do choose this lifestyle you will feel healthier and more alive than ever before. 4. “Vegetarians are particular about their restaurants” – I simply ask this question, do you know who prepared your food, what went into your food and what ingredients went into your food at the last restaurant you went to? You can be sure a vegetarian does because they want to be sure they are getting pure whole food. I also ask, do you know that if that cook or waiter coughing, sneezing on your food has swine flu?5. “Vegetarians are serious about the health of the world” – the swine flu is believed to have spread to us from South America and possibly Mexico. Do we know for sure? Of course not but vegetarians, you can be sure conscientiously investigate where their food comes from and if it is truly organic, whole food and not processed with non-vegetarian ingredients. Is this a world view? I think so. The CDC is going to have its hands full this flu season. I emphasize that it is not their responsibility to keep you healthy. It is yours. If you get sick, you simply become a statistic. They are not going to be held accountable. My most important recommendations besides getting and staying in tip top health are (1) be sure and cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze with a tissue or handkerchief and dispose of the tissue and wash the handkerchief after you use them; (2) frequently and especially after coughing or sneezing, touching door knobs, faucets in common areas or shared devices such as keyboards and mice, wash your hands with soap and water for at least as long as it takes you to say the alphabet. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also recommended but washing your hands with soap and water are best; (3) Try to think to avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth, three orifices that allow germs to enter the body and spread; (4) if you believe you have the flu or H1N1 flu, by all means stay at home and avoid contact with family, friends and business associates. Once infected you become a carrier and can spread the disease.

The outbreak of Swine Flu in Mexico has caused many to go into a state of panic. As of today’s date, there are confirmed infected persons in Canada, Scotland, New Zealand, Spain, and Israel. In the U. S. , confirmed infections have been noted in ten states. Therefore, it should not be a surprise to anyone that Travel and Tourism will be at the mercy of this crisis. Over the last three days, travelers cancelled their flights and land based all inclusive vacations citing concerns over Swine Flu. While the cruise lines have suspended all stops to Mexico out of caution, their historical records indicate that the Cruise Lines are, and have always been, better prepared to respond to viral outbreaks when compared to land based destinations.
Since the 1970s the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a division of the U. S. Public Health Service, and the cruise industry established a good cooperative relationship through the establishment and implementation of a Vessel Sanitization Program (VSP). The simple goal of the VSP is to assist the cruise ship industry to prevent and control the introduction, transmission, and spread of gastrointestinal illnesses (GI) on cruise ships. The VSP is implemented through a program which consists of Inspection, Monitoring, Training, and Providing Education.
During an inspection, the CDC inspects the medical facilities, portable water systems, swimming pools and whirlpool spas, galleys and dining rooms, children activity center, hotel accommodations (rooms and suites), ventilation systems, and common areas of the ship. The CDC utilizes electronic monitoring of illness on cruise ships, and must be notified of illness onboard prior to the ships arrival at a U. S. port. Most importantly, all cruise lines must develop and maintain an Outbreak Prevention and Response Plan (OPRP). In the event of an outbreak, the cruise ship is required to increase daily cleaning and disinfection frequencies; stop high-risk activities, such as self-service buffet tables and handshaking; isolate ill people; collect clinical and/or environmental specimens for analysis; and provide daily updates to VSP that include case counts and reports of what the ship has done to establish control.
As you can see, the cruise line industry has been trained and prepared for more than thirty years to handle and manage infections like the Swine Flu. In fact, some cruise lines have successful done so over the years. In addition to all the precautions, all cruise ships, unlike many all inclusive vacations destinations, have medical infirmaries, with the appropriate staff to manage acute situations. Additionally, to bridge the gap, cruise lines, and their agents, usually recommend the purchase of travel insurance to cover medical expenses, emergence air transportation, and other important items, in the unlikely event that illness interrupts your vacation.
Is your all inclusive vacation destination prepared to respond to the Swine Flu in a manner comparable to the cruise line industry? Cruising is the clearly the best vacation value. If you disagree, I would love to hear from you.
