I was shaking my head thinking what the big deal was last spring when Swine flu was all over the news. I am mean it didn’t seem like there were that many cases and it was on every station every minute of the day. I could not get any relief from it; I mean how does some influenza outbreak 3000 miles away from my house affect me?

My interest got the better of me and what I found, frankly scared me a little bit. The reason that the World Health Officials are so troubled about The Swine flu is because of its similarities with the Spanish Flu of 1918 that killed millions.

Now there is a huge difference in the level of health care between 1918 and today (obviously), but that doesn’t mean that H1N1 is not a very grave issue. You see most of the people that died from the Spanish Flu were between 20 and 45 years old. These are supposed to be the individuals that get sick less often and recover faster when they do get sick.

There is where the problem is – The victims of the H1N1 have disproportionately been in this 20 to 45 age group; A HUGE Red Flag for the World Health Officials!

Traditionally the high risk are the very young and the elderly. Not to say that these people are not in danger during a pandemic like this but the fact the supposedly lowest risk population is falling victim to the Swine flu Virus is reason to take this very seriously.

What can we do? I believe the biggest and most important thing we can do is to get educated. That may seem like an easy thing to do, you know, with the internet and all. But when I was trying to get answers for my questions – I walked away from my PC feeling more confused than before I started.

The problem is that there are too many opinions and not enough facts. There are the individuals that believe this is going to be the end of all of us. Waving there arms around like this kind of thing has never happened before. Then there are the ones that think there is absolutely no danger from Swine flu. Well, that is not true either. Some people even think it is a government conspiracy to thin out the population?!

I did however find some good information in the form of an E-book – “The Swine flu Safety Handbook”. A Book written by a ordinary guy like me – who just happened to be very concerned about H1N1 and did the research.

It is an E-book that comes with 2 other books, between them they cover everything from the history of the H1N1, what the symptoms are, how it spreads, how to track it, organic medicines to boost immunity, anti-viral medications, vaccinations etc etc…

Why am I telling you this? I believe that we need to take responsibility for ourselves and our families, to be proactive. That is why I live and promote living a green lifestyle at the personal and neighborhood level and that is why I am recommending this book. So we have a chance to get in front of this Pandemic and guard our families.

For the first time in human history we have the power to do something regarding a pandemic before it arrives Swine Flu Safety Handbook. Learn How To Prevent Swine Flu today.
