Natural Influenza Protocol with
Magnesium and Vitamin C

The New York Times writes, “As concern
about a flu pandemic sweeps official Washington, Congress and the
Bush administration are considering spending billions to buy the
influenza drug Tamiflu. But after months of delay, the United States
will now have to wait in line to get the pills.” It’s
that time of year when the CDC puts the plug back in the wall with
the intention of lighting up signs all over the country whipping
the public into its yearly flu frenzy.
Not only do we have to worry about the regular
flu and its misery but now we have the bird flu. On October 5,
2005 the New York Times reported that the deadly 1918 influenza
pandemic was linked to the avian flu. Two teams of federal and
university scientists announced that they had resurrected the 1918
influenza virus and found that it was actually a bird flu that
jumped directly to humans.
Democrats on Capitol Hill are complaining that
the delay has put Americans in jeopardy. Tamiflu, introduced in
1999, has recently become the drug of choice of the medical establishment
worried about pandemic flu because it is one of the only medicines
claimed to reduce the duration and severity of the potentially
deadly disease if taken within 48 hours of infection. Tamiflu is ‘supposed’ to
speed recovery from the flu. When started during the first 2 days
of the illness, it is said to hasten improvement by at least “a
day.” Tamiflu is one of a new class of antiviral drugs called
neuraminidase inhibitors. No studies have been conducted to compare
Tamiflu with mother’s chicken soup, which is also reported
to diminish intensity, discomfort and duration of the flu.
Medical officials are lining up in gangbang fashion
to scare the witts out of the public but offer only impotent medical
strategies. "This is a nation-busting event!" warned
Dr. Tara O'Toole of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center's
Center for Biosecurity. Speculating that 40 million Americans could
die -- that's about one in eight -- she warned: "We must act
now." For the Avian flu they are rushing to develop new unproven
vaccines and there are now there are concerns that there is resistance
to Tamiflu's effects so in the hysteria being created expect other
drugs like Relenza as well as Tamiflu to be recommended for stockpiling.

"We and the entire world remain unprepared
for what could arguably be the most horrific disaster in modern
history," inveighed Dr. Gregory A. Poland of the Mayo Clinic
and the Infectious Diseases Society of America. “The key
to our survival, in my opinion, and to the continuity of government
is vaccination.” And "we do not have a licensed or approved
vaccine,” continued Dr. Poland. Dr. J. Anthony Morris, former
Chief Vaccine Control Officer FDA said, “There is no evidence
that any influenza vaccine thus far developed is effective in preventing
or mitigating any attack of influenza. The producers of these vaccines
know that they are worthless, but they go on selling them, anyway.”
A review in The Lancet suggests that influenza vaccination
of infants is useless.
Dr. F. Edward Yazbak
Each and every year at this time
medical officals come out to remind us of our mortal danger yet
advocate medical procedures that do little to nothing to protect
us but cost billions. Dr. Eleanor McBean was an on-the-spot observer
of the 1918 Influenza epidemic and said, “As far as I could
find out, the flu hit only the vaccinated. Those who had refused
the shots escaped the flu. My family had refused all the vaccinations
so we remained well all the time. We (who didn't take any vaccines)
seemed to be the only family which didn't get the flu. It has been
said that the 1918 flu epidemic killed 20,000,000 people throughout
the world. But, actually, the doctors killed them with their crude
and deadly treatments and drugs. This is a harsh accusation but
it is nevertheless true.”
The Vaccine Injury Compensation
Program created a federal,
court-like process through which victims of vaccination could
seek financial compensation. Created in 1986, the program
has settled 1,200 vaccine claims worth $1.2 billion as of
2004. This represents compensation to only a fraction
of the children and families devastated by vaccines.
Most problems noted during
tests of Tamiflu were indistinguishable from the symptoms of
flu. That’s a tricky was of saying Taniflu can
as easily cause the flu as diminish it. Tamiflu is not the drug
of choice because of its large side effect profile that leaves
one wondering if their flu symptoms are from a virus or Tamiflu.
Below is the list of side-effects
that Tamiflu can cause. These are all the reasons Tamiflu should
be avoided:
• Aches and pains
• Allergic reactions sometimes leading
to shock
• Asthma - aggravation of pre-existing
asthma
• Bronchitis
• Chest infection
• Conjunctivitis
• Dermatitis
• Diarrhoea
• Difficulty sleeping
• Dizziness
• Ear infection
• Ear problems
• Erythema multiforme
• Headache
• Hepatitis
• Indigestion
• Liver problems
• Lymphadenopathy
• Nausea
• Nose bleed
• Rash or rashes
• Runny nose
• Sinusitis
• Stevens Johnson syndrome
• Symptoms of a cold
• Tiredness
• Tummy pain
• Urticaria
• Vomiting

Various U.S. and U.N. agencies are spreading
the word that the Avian Influenza, if it breaks out this fall or
winter, could be as severe as the worldwide Spanish Influenza epidemic
of 1918, and they are predicting hundreds of millions of deaths
worldwide. Of course this is what they do each and every year and
it does sell a lot of vaccines to an easily frightened public.
According to health consultant Jonathan Campbell, “The
influenza, currently isolated in China, is a hemorrhagic illness.
It kills many of its victims by rapidly depleting ascorbate (vitamin
C) stores in the body, inducing scurvy and collapse of the arterial
blood supply, causing internal hemorrhaging of the lungs and sinus
cavities. Most people today have barely enough vitamin C in their
bodies (typically 60 mg per day) to prevent scurvy under normal
living conditions, and are not prepared for this kind of illness.”[ii]
Some physicians would stand by and see their patient die
rather than use ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) because
in their finite minds it exists only as a vitamin.
Dr. Frederick R. Klenner
The International Medical Veritas
Association’s recommendation for flu prevention and treatment
is simple and carries no side effects; transdermal/topical application
of Magnesium Chloride, zinc lozenges, Vitamin C and a properly
hydrated body. Instead of weakening the body with the toxic substances
found in Tamiflu, other drugs and vaccines, we strengthen the cells
from their roots up. A great part of people’s vulnerability
to influenza is a combination of nutritional deficiencies and enormous
toxic buildup from environmental poisons, toxic containing foods
and noxious drugs. Magnesium Chloride addresses the greatest and
most important deficiency in the body with upwards of 90 percent
of the population deficient in this vital nutrient.
The first physician to aggressively use Vitamin C to cure diseases was Frederick
R. Klenner, M.D.[iii] beginning back in the early 1940's. Dr. Klenner consistently
cured chicken pox, measles, mumps, tetanus and polio [iv] with huge doses
of the vitamin. Certainly if it is effective for these diseases it will
help tremendously with the flu. From 1943 through 1947 Dr. Klenner reported
successful treatment of 41 more cases of viral pneumonia using massive
doses of vitamin C.
Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, director of the National
Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said, "You must
prepare for the worst-case scenario. To do anything less would
be irresponsible." Facuci is correct here, it pays to prepare
but not with toxic vaccines or other drugs like Tamiflu, which
would be well to the left on this toxicity chart. It makes sense
medically to use the least toxic substances for toxins only increase
the chance we will get the flu. The flu like side effects of Tamiflu
bears this line of reasoning out. The caution on pregnant women,
or those considering becoming pregnant, should serve to turn away
a good deal of the population thinking of using Tamiflu. If it
is too toxic for mother and fetus it is too toxic for you.
"Are we prepared today? Clearly no," said
Dr. Hayden of the University of Virginia Health Science Center.
From personal medicine cabinets to the White House, the focus recently
is on a killer flu epidemic that is going to hit like a huge asteroid.
If we trust our medical officials (I do not) we will prepare and
if we do not trust these people we still need to prepare because
of the possibility that what they are warning us against is simply
a long planned bio-chemical attack.[v]
Many believe that at heart the pharmaceutical
companies have, for almost a century, used vaccines as a carrier
of poisonous substances to earn profits over dead people’s
bodies. If we look at FluMist, another new nasal vaccine, we see
a pharmaceutical company deliberately spilling into the environment
contagious influenza viruses. The FluMist vaccine is a live virus
vaccine that is given as a nasal spray. The virus can be shed from
the nasal passages of a vaccinated individual for up to 21 days
after vaccination. The package insert for the FluMist vaccine clearly
states "Due to the possible transmission of vaccine virus,
FluMist recipients should avoid being in close (for example, within
the same household) contact with immunocompromised individuals
for 3 weeks following vaccination."
Many might have missed seeing the congressional
hearing on TV [vii] talking about bioterroism and hearing the blatant
statement made that new vaccines, even if not yet proven safe,
would be put out for use in the general population, as the risk
of disease is seen to be stronger than any risk the use of these
unproven vaccines might cause. These vaccines will be unleashed
on us, and we will be at great risk of harm. The last thing the
medical industrial complex is interested in is safe and natural
methods of protection against viruses and the deficiencies that
make us vulnerable.
There is no replacement for magnesium in the
body except magnesium. Magnesium depleted cells are in trouble
and introducing another toxic drug will not build their defenses
or strength. The average severe flu lasts approximately 10 days
so we must question whether spending billions to stockpile Tamiflu
to reduce that average by a day is really going to save anyone’s
life. The pharmaceutical industry, the CDC and the FDA of course
see no problem with adding more toxic chemicals into the populations’ blood
streams. Without the selling of poison they simply would have no
place on earth. Their very existence runs parallel to the commercial
introduction and destruction of human health via toxic chemicals
used in everything from foods to medicines. The entire medical
industrial complex depends on the use of toxic drugs.
Yes it pays to be prepared for the flu so stock
up your medicine cabinets with effective substances that will help,
not hurt your family. It would also be worthwhile to detoxify and
chelate our families during the warmer months so hidden toxicities
like mercury, which is known to increase the dangers of influenza,
would be less present in our children’s bodies. Truly doctors
can be blamed when their patients die of influenza for it is not
the virus that is deadly but the deficiencies of vitamin C and
magnesium combined with the drugs and vaccines doctors use that
bring old and young alike down to their graves.
Why is it a government, whose only money is the
money they can borrow, so anxious to invest billions in Taniflu
and flu vaccines laced with mercury? The Boston Globe reported
this month that alarmed infectious disease specialists have indicated
that excessive use of Tamiflu and other antiviral drugs could lead
to the emergence of flu strains that do not respond to antivirals,
making both avian and regular flu strains even more of a health
threat. Yet another reason for using a natural protocol is raised
and as usual ignored by medical authorities. Dr. Klenner is right
though, medical authorities would standby and watch millions die
rather than entertain the thought that it all could be stopped
using Vitamin C and magnesium chloride.
Has the pharmaceutical industrial complex managed
to corrupt the Federal government or is chicken soup now out of
favor because of the arsenic used in raising the chickens hurting
this age old treatment? No one seems to be talking about arsenic
in chicken though, but this month EU officials banned poultry imports
from Turkey and Romania, where bird flu also was detected.[viii]
Addendum from Daniel Reid
In addition to Vit C and magnesium chloride,
I also suggest the use of a high-grade colloidal silver solution
whenever flu or any other viral infection is present. One of the
best brands on the market today is "Sovereign Silver" hydrosol,
available from www.fruitfulyielddirect.com.
Whenever infection is present, take 1 tsp of colloidal silver and
hold it under the tongue for 30 seconds, once every hour until
symptoms are gone. This should be done in conjuction with high-dose
vitamin C and magnesium chloride therapy. For even better results,
try to get intravenous vitamin C treatment, 20 grams daily for
7-10 days.
A good supply source of magnesium chloride fluid is www.globallight.net

[ii] Campbell’s recommendation: Begin increasing
the amount of vitamin C that you take each day to very high levels,
spread over the course of the day, in divided doses taken with
meals. Start at 1000 mg per meal, and increase slowly to 2000-4000
mg per meal. (These are adult doses, modify by body weight for
children.) Your optimal dose is just below the point where your
body complains by giving you mild diarrhea. This is called the "bowel
tolerance dose." Such doses are perfectly safe - vitamin C
is natural to our bodies and needed for many body processes. Most
people don't get nearly enough. Stock up on this vital nutrient
- buy in powder form, 1-pound or 3-pound canisters (ascorbic acid
form). Mix with water or fruit juice. Be sure to take vitamin C
with food that will coat your stomach to prevent stomach upset,
such as organic soymilk. www.cqs.com/influenza.htm
[iii] Dr. Klenner used massive doses of Vitamin
C for over forty years of family practice. He wrote dozens of medical
papers on the subject. A complete list of them is in the Clinical
Guide to the Use of Vitamin C, edited by Lendon H. Smith, M.D.,
Life Sciences Press, Tacoma, WA (1988).
[iv] The Treatment of Poliomyelitis and Other
Virus Diseases with Vitamin C: Klenner, Southern Medicine & Surgery,
July, 1949 "The treatment employed [in the poliomyelitis epidemic
in North Carolina in 1948, 60 cases] was vitamin C in massive doses...
given like any other antibiotic every two to four hours. The initial
dose was 1000 to 2000 mg., depending on age. Children up to four
years received the injections intramuscularly ... For patients
treated in the home the dose schedule was 2000 mg. by needle every
six hours, supplemented by 1000 to 2000 mg. every two hours by
mouth ... dissolved in fruit juice. All patients were clinically
well after 72 hours. Where spinal taps were performed, it was the
rule to find a reversion of the fluid to normal after the second
day of treatment.
[v] A commentary in the Journal of the Royal
Society of Medicine (Madjid et al. 2003) noted that influenza is
readily transmissible by aerosol and that a small number of viruses
can cause a full-blown infection. The authors continued: "the
possibility for genetic engineering and aerosol transmission [of
influenza] suggests an enormous potential for bioterrorism" The
possible hostile abuse of influenza virus is seen as a very real
threat by public health officials in the USA. $15 million was granted
by the US National Institutes of Health to Stanford University
to study how to guard against the flu virus "if it were to
be unleashed as an agent of bioterrorism". Stanford University
News Release 17 September 2003, mednews.stanford.edu/news_releases_html/2003/septrelease/bioterror%20flu.htm
[vi] The resurrection of 1918 influenza has plunged
the world closer to a flu pandemic and to a biodefense race scarcely
separable from an offensive one, according to the Sunshine Project,
a biological weapons watchdog. "There was no compelling reason
to recreate 1918 flu and plenty of good reasons not to. Instead
of a dead bug, now there are live 1918 flu types in several places,
with more such strains sure to come in more places," says
Sunshine Project Director Edward Hammond, "The US government
has done a great misdeed by endorsing and encouraging the deliberate
creation of extremely dangerous new viruses. The 1918 experiments
will be replicated and adapted, and the ability to perform them
will proliferate, meaning that the possibility of man-made disaster,
either accidental or deliberate, has risen for the entire world."
