Mutations H1N1 update - Washington State Death
I am finding it very difficult to find states reporting the mutation that resembles the spanish flu and or Pneumonic plague. Unless I search every state with a variety of phrases, it is impossible to keep up. If you hear of a case in your state, please email me. I will keep searching , but the lack of information on this makes it very difficult.
We know that the mutations hit approx 2 weeks ago in NC and began spreading. We know that the people dying are usually dying of complications but the doctors dont seem to want to specify what type of complications. Once in awhile, they will admit to wet, bleeding lungs. Unfortunately the silence of the media puts us all at risk.
3 days ago a little girl age 4 died in Bremerton which is NW United states. As in so many cases, they didnt say what the complications were, but as we have seen signs of this strain in California, I am sure it is up in Washington as well.
The good news is that the rate of infection is down. Way down. The bad news is, that we now have a definate mutation in the states and round three may be more dangerous.

“What we have here is a little girl that died unexpectedly and had a positive test” for H1N1, Lindquist said.
She was only sick for a couple days, Health District officials said. Her family is asking for privacy as they grieve.
The 4-year-old attended Sylvan Way Christian School, Lindquist said. The Health District does not plan to ask the school to take any extra precautions as a result of the death.

Study: Plant-based antioxidants protect lungs from H1N1
Study: Plant-based antioxidants protect lungs from H1N1
http://www.digitaljournal.com/article/281934
While immunization may be the best defense against swine flu, a new study shows that antioxidants in certain foods may also protect against H1N1 and help prevent lung damage from the virus.
With shortages of H1N1 vaccine being reported worldwide, some people have been resorting to folk remedies to ward off the dreaded virus.
The rush for protection from H1N1 has even led to shortages and higher prices for foods such as garlic, onions, and others.
According to researchers at the University of Alabama, consumers of those foods that are rich in antioxidants actually do add an extra layer of protection, reports FoodConsumer.
Researcher Sadis Matalon and colleagues found the cause of damage to our lungs when we get the flu was caused by M2 protein, which attacks the cells that line the inner surfaces of the lungs, says the study published in the FASEB Journal and the American Journal of Respiratory Cell and Molecular Biology.
The M2 protein damages the lung cells so they cannot remove liquid that builds up inside the lungs, making the person infected more susceptible to pneumonia and other lung problems.
The research discovered cells that were pretreated with glutathione ester, an antioxidant that is available as a dietary supplement, prevented the damaging effects of M2 protein to lung cells.
The study says that when our consumption of sulphur rich foods is sufficient there is no need to take a supplement as our bodies naturally synthesize the glutathione compound when nourished properly.
Some sulphur-rich foods that are readily available are garlic, onions, broccoli, oats, corn, legumes, nuts, seeds and many others.
The study says that meat eaters should also consider eating red meats, eggs, whey protein, and dairy products, reports FoodConsumer.
Due to its recommendation as an "anti-virus" plant by international medical experts, the price of garlic has soared in China giving farmers a boost, reports China Daily. The price of garlic last year was 0.08 yuan per kilogram but is now selling at 8 juan ($1.17) per kilogram.
Vendors at outdoor markets in Ukraine are also cashing in on the hysteria, by hiking prices for onions, garlic and fresh fruits as face masks and flu vaccine were in short supply or completely gone, reports The Cutting Edge.

H1N1 flu causes unusual damage to lungs: studies
H1N1 flu causes unusual damage to lungs: studies
http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE59E5D220091015
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The new pandemic H1N1 flu may cause blood clots and other unusual damage in the lungs and doctors need to be on the lookout, U.S. researchers reported on Thursday.
One middle-aged man who died was not diagnosed until after death, but unusual findings on his X-rays may be able to help doctors save other, similar patients.
Mollura's team found irregularities called ground-glass opacities in the patient's lungs using a CT scan. Although the patient was severely ill and had a fever, he tested negative for flu and doctors did not treat him for it.
The man died five days after he went into the hospital and the autopsy confirmed he had swine flu. The lung lesions seen on his CT scan matched lung damage done by the virus, Mollura and colleagues said.
In another study in the same journal, CT scans of patients with severe cases of swine flu showed many had pulmonary emboli, which block the arteries in the lungs, a team at the University of Michigan found.
Anticoagulant drugs can break up these clots and save lives.

Dogs , Monkeys infect them , kill them, stick it in your arm
http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE5746VY20090805
The swine flu vaccine, to be sold under the brand name Celvapan, is made using Baxter's cell culture process, which is designed to be faster than traditional vaccine production methods
Baxter shares 4 patents for African Green Monkey vaccine production with a company called Dyncorp.
Do a google on Dyncorp. I dont want to get into conspiracy theories here, but its an incredibly interesting read.
And, when someone tells you they dont eat meat or goes on about animal cruelty and are pro vaccine, you may want to inform them they are participating blindly in the very thing they stand against. Information is key folks. We can blindly walk around and accept things, or we can demand a certain standard and accountability in our medicine.

Forgive me for the following photo of an abused dog.. but how is it any different? God help us if
we think this is ok.
Dog Cells for Vaccine? Hell NO!
When I saw this new production facility open, I didn't think much of it. They are talking about using Dogs here to grow their virus and harvest what is needed. Baxter currently does this with African Green Monkeys. they infect the monkeys, and harvest the organs because it is faster than growing it in an egg.
I love Dogs. I am also a realist. If dogs were the one and only way to save the human race, It may be worth considering, but WE KNOW that isnt so. I would assume that harvesting dogs cells would mean you need to infect the dogs. Kill the dogs? This is way beyond acceptable.
I read an article from one of the leading virologists who declared that working with monkeys as he did and creating vaccines from thier infected organs caused many other problems because its not just the virus you are adding into the vaccine fromt the organ but other diseases the Monkey is carrying as well. I will try to find this piece.. it was a utube vid where he pretty much said he felt he was to blame in a round about way for aids (HIV). He felt the Monkeys carried it and it was accidentally put into the vaccines.
The Monkeys are bad enough. Infecting animals is not the best idea in the world. Not just for those who love animals , but for those who have a sense of self preservation. I do not want to be exposed to the various Monkey diseases.. dog diseases. What are these people thinking? And at the end of the day, Dog is Mans best friend. I don't believe this will go over very well. We have other means, we do not need to go here.

Soldiers get mass swine flu shots before holidays
Soldiers get mass swine flu shots before holidays
http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hCIlEQZJ-PI4LMWChBeCSeSQovVgD9CHAFI02
FORT JACKSON, S.C. — Thousands of Army recruits in training must line up at least once more before heading home for the holidays, this time for mass inoculations by the hundreds against swine flu.
The Army's largest training camp, just outside Columbia, S.C., and other posts are hurrying to finish the shots before the year-end break. More than 40,000 soldiers in advanced and basic training across the country head home over the next two weeks in a massive troop movement known as "block leave," Army officials said.
"We have been very aggressive in trying to assure the safety of our soldiers," said Maj. Soo Hee Kim-Delio, the Army physician in charge of the inoculations at Fort Jackson. "Our basic training population is at particularly high risk."
