The drums are beating again. Yes, Katie Couric, Yahoo, USA Today, newspapers and bloggers everywhere are reporting on the re-emerging swine flu, or H1N1 virus. And the question on everyone’s mind is “Should I be worried about getting swine flu?”The answer is YES.

Now, I have some very good, practical suggestions that may help you to avoid the H1N1 flu virus. But first… let me tell you why your dog or cat won’t get the H1N1 virus.

Pet Bodies vs. Human Bodies

Dogs and cats have a very similar physiology to the human body, with one major exception – they have the capability to manufacture Vitamin C in their bodies on a daily basis!

For example, both of my 24 pound Westies will each manufacture approximately 5 grams or 5000 milligrams of Vitamin C every day. And if they get sick, this number can rise to help fight off the infection.

And how much Vitamin C does your body make? Zilch! Zero. Nada.

Research shows that millions of years ago, the human body lost the ability to create Vitamin C, leaving us as prime candidates for infection and a host of other diseases which most mammals do not experience. In fact, there are only three or four mammals who do not manufacture their own Vitamin C. These include primates, guinea pigs and humans (with all three used as “laboratory animals” because they can be infected with anything).

But the point here is that Vitamin C should be in our bodies and it isn’t, leaving us as the perfect hosts for a lurking pandemic virus like the H1N1.

Why President Roosevelt Should Have Taken Vitamin C

History has chronicled the deadly effects of the polio outbreak from the 1920′s to the post-war 1950′s. Even our 32nd President Franklin Delano Roosevelt had it. Tens of thousands of people were infected and were either paralyzed or died from it. My first cousin was a polio victim. She survived…but today she walks with noticeable limp.

In the late 1940′s, there was a medical doctor in New York City, a physician who actually headed the emergency room at one of the largest hospitals in New York City. When a patient arrived showing symptoms of polio, he would immediately give them high doses of Vitamin C. In his studies, out of the 96 patients with polio who were given Vitamin C, not a single one developed any negative effects of polio. They were polio-free – and had beaten the virus!

This doctor was invited to speak at an AMA convention, but unfortunately his findings were quickly buried. Why? The speculation was that because Vitamin C is not a drug, there would be no profit in it for the pharmaceutical companies and the medical profession-sad but true!

How to Super Charge Your Immune System with Vitamin C

First off, Vitamin C is “not just a good idea”- it is a necessity, especially when facing a dangerous human virus like the H1N1 swine flu. Vitamin C is needed by your body to start and run your immune system. Even if the current swine flu vaccination works miraculously, (which I doubt-witness the Swine Flu vaccinations from 1976: 25 people died from the vaccine and it was quickly recalled after $125 million was spent on it), your body still needs Vitamin C for your immune system to work.

Here’s a short list of what Vitamin C does:

* Vitamin C is needed for your white blood cells to function. And without white blood cells, you have no resistance at all.
* Vitamin C is needed for your lymphocytes to become activated. Lymphocytes are like little “Pac-Man” cells that devour viruses and bacteria in your body.
* Vitamin C makes “complement”. Complement is a special kind of cell in the body that acts like a “neutron bomb”, which chemically takes out foreign invaders.
* Vitamin C is needed to make collagen tissue. Collagen is the body’s “glue” that repairs damaged cells and tissues if and when a virus attacks.

Don’t Be Caught Defenseless Without a Good Source of Vitamin C!

Sure, everyone knows that to get your recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C, just drink orange juice. But the government’s RDA of 60 mg is barely enough to ensure that you don’t get scurvy, much less protect you from a deadly virus like the swine flu.

So to help protect you and your family’s health, I created Super C22, a naturally flavored beverage powder that you mix with water to create a great tasting, powerful source of Vitamin C. Super C22 contains twenty-two different forms of Vitamin C and its ‘cousins’ – antioxidants naturally found with Vitamin C.

From the moment you start taking Super C22, your body immediately begins activating its immune system. And the sooner you start supercharging your immune system, the better prepared you will be to fight off the H1N1 virus. Remember, viruses only survive in bodies that are unprotected. And not everyone will be able to get the H1N1 vaccine (and they haven’t proven that it works yet.)
