The Flu

Influenza is a virus that can cause “the flu.” Does it belong to us as humans or to a larger parasite we are hosting? It is easily transmitted from person to person and in less than a year can spread across the planet. Some flu examples are Influenza A, B, C and Swine flu.

   However, much that is called “flu” is actually caused by a bacterium, either Salmonella or Shigella. If someone in your family is “catching” a flu, test their saliva for the presence of dairy products, implicating the Salmonellas and Shigellas. Also test for influenza A, B, and C. Children's “flus”, especially when there is a fever, are usually due to Salmonellas. Even after zapping it can take an hour for the symptoms and fever to go away.

   Go straight to the refrigerator and throw away all dairy products. Throw away all milk, cheesecakes, buttermilk, cream, butter, yogurt and cottage cheese, deli food and leftovers. You may wish to identify the food source of your family's bacteria first, and save the uncontaminated food. Use the sick person as a subject, searching for foods that appear in her white blood cells (or search their saliva sample for the food offender). If the flu is “going around” your neighborhood, you might wish to tell some of your neighbors which foods you found were contaminated. They may have purchased the same food! Obviously, when a contaminated shipment of dairy products arrives in your grocery stores, quite a few people will be consuming it, setting the stage for a “bad flu” that “goes around”.
