It seems you can't turn on the TV or pick-up the newspaper or connect to the web without being inundated with frantic news reports and discussions about Swine Flu (H1N1).

But is the situation really as dire as it seems?

To answer that question for yourself and your family, you must educate yourself with the WHOLE story. . . complete information that is based in science and backed by specific, accurate, unbiased data.

Is that what you are receiving through the various media outlets today?

You may be surprised at the answer. . . VERY surprised.

Here's a CBS News report that you may not have seen or heard. . . but you should have!

Given the empassioned debates regarding the Swine Flu Vaccine and Pandemic, dare I even broach the subject again?

Absolutely! I not only dare to broach the subject again today, but I also promise to continue to post information and resources in the future.

You see, the inquisitive, analytical scientist in me gets extremely curious when the reported conclusions and recommendations don't seem to jive with the data (as you'll see in the report below). So, I begin to ask questions and do a bit of digging. It's amazing what can be found hiding under rocks in dark caves!

My seemingly endless curiosity can quickly turn to frustration as I begin to uncover additional data that was not reported or not considered when conclusions or recommendations were drafted.

My frustration grows when I begin to discover possible conflicts of interest between study sponsors and investigators and those who are set to benefit financially from the reported recommendations.

My frustration quickly turns to anger as I observe the doubt, fear and, often times, hysteria that results from the misinformation or incomplete information that continually streams from the media. It is heartbreaking to me to see people blindly and robotically becoming guinea pigs or making potentially life-altering decisions based on a 30-second soundbite or a 2-minute "Special Report" on the evening news. Such decisions should not be made lightly or without an understanding of all the potential risks. . . and all the information.

Everyone is different. We have different tolerances to risk and different life-situations that impact our choices. The wellness decisions I make for my family today, may be different than the wellness decisions I make for my family 6 months from now, but all the decisions I make will be educated ones.

I encourage you to also educate yourself. Take control of your health and wellness and that of your family! Get informed!

The following report by Dr. Russell Blaylock provides a wealth of information, with references, about the Swine Flu and Vaccine that you may not yet have seen or heard but that you should know. . . including:

- Greater than 30% of pregnant women who have died were obese or morbidly obese and 60% of these had underlying medical conditions that made them higher risk for infections
- 60% of children who have died have had underlying medical conditions, typically neurological and/or respiratory
- 30% of children who have died were obese or morbidly obese
- Those who receive seasonal flu vaccines are twice as likely to develop Swine Flu infection
- Pediatric deaths from seasonal flu increased with vaccination against seasonal flu
- August 7, 2009: Swine Flu Vaccine "Safety" studies began on 500 HEALTHY adults and elderly individuals
- Aug. 17, 2009: An "independent safety monitoring committee" concluded the Swine Flu Vaccine was safe and recommended that trials begin in children 6-months to 17-years of age.
- August 18, 2009: Swine Flu Vaccine trials began in children.

(My comment: In one children's study, children would receive 2 doses of vaccine, 21 days apart. In another study, children would be given 2 doses of Swine Flu vaccine AND the seasonal flu vaccine. Don't you find it infuriating, I mean, interesting that trials in children began only 11 days after the trials in adults, yet they would be given 2 doses within 21 days and all trials were not scheduled for completion until Spring 2010? Also, there was NO control group (people who did NOT receive the vaccine) for comparison.)
