> Dear Members,

>

> You are all aware of the dire warnings about swine flu, the

> outbreak that started in the Mexican village of La Gloria and which

> local residents blame on infection and/or toxins coming from local

> confinement hog operations.

>

> The internet is abuzz with warnings bordering on hysteria

> (conventional media) to a variety of conspiracy theories, and even

> to allegations that the pandemic is a government fabrication

> designed to sell stockpiles of anti-viral medications.

>

> Conventional medical advice ranges from wearing face masks to

> taking the anti-viral drug called tamiflu (which can have many

> serious side effects, see http://www.askapatient.com/viewrating.asp?

> drug=21087 & name=TAMIFLU.)

>

> It is interesting to note that not once in all the media broadcasts

> have we heard any mention of building natural immunity

>

> NATURAL IMMUNITY

> Fortunately, we do not have to sit back and listen to the news

> about swine flu feeling helpless and anxious. We can be proactive

> by simply nourishing ourselves and our families.

>

> Vitamins A and D in cod liver oil offer strong protection against

> infection of all types, as well as against environmental toxins.

>

> Vitamin C is important-either from vitamin C-rich foods like

> sauerkraut, or from one of the natural vitamin C supplements

> recommended in our Shopping Guide.

>

> Healthy gut flora provide 85 percent of our protection against

> disease. Be sure to consume healthy lacto-fermented foods and

> beverages every day and avoid the foods that disrupt gut flora,

> especially refined carbohydrates.

>

> Bone broth plays a double role of supporting the immune system and

> helping the body detoxify.

>

> COCONUT OIL

> We are grateful to Beth Beisel, registered dietitian and WAPF

> member for reminding us about the protective factors in coconut

> oil. Swine flu is a lipid coated virus (http://www.pnas.org/content/

> 98/5/2115.full.pdf+html), and thus is inactivated by sufficient

> amounts of monolaurin. (Our bodies convert lauric acid, found in

> coconut oil, to monolaurin).

>

> According to our own Dr. Enig, two to three tablespoons of

> coconut oil per day appears to be an adequate dosage to fight

> infection, even from virulent antibiotic-resistant organisms such

> as MSRA.

>

> There are lots of ways to get coconut oil into the diet: stir

> coconut oil in some tea; make macaroons; replace some of the butter

> in baking with coconut oil; and use it in cooking/sautéing. 's

> oil blend (see below) is a good way to incorporate coconut oil in

> cooking and salad dressings.

>

> MARY'S OIL BLEND

> 1/3 melted coconut oil

> 1/3 sesame oil - expeller pressed

> 1/3 100% olive oil

>

> Combine oils, store in a tight container, in an area free from

> sunlight, and use in cooking or on salads.

> COCONUT SMOOTHIE
