"By the proper intake of vitamins and other nutrients, and by following a few other healthful practices from youth or middle age on, you can, I believe, extend your life and years of well-being by 25 or even 35 years. A benefit of increasing the length of the period of well-being is that the fraction of one's life during which one is happy becomes greater."--Dr. Linus Pauling, at his death at age 93, the only human being to have two unshared Nobel Prizes, one in chemistry

EACH YEAR-END, one or more mutated cold/flu viruses, created either by God, Omniscient Mind, or a consortium of multinational pharmaceutical companies greedy for remedy-profits (est. annual U.S. market, $4 billion, plus another $10 billion in lost wages and productivity, not to mention 36,000 deaths annually--mainly the elderly), sweeps our planet like a plague, sooner or later adding to nearly everyone's annual Misery Index. Literally hundreds of different viruses from several viral families cause colds. For example, approximately 40% of all colds are caused by rhinoviruses, which attack primarily in Fall and Spring. On the other hand, microbes such as syncytial viruses normally attack in the heart of Winter.

Is it just my own imagination, or does the most dangerous strain each year seem to have been first isolated, classified and named (by the World Health Organization) in some country the U.S. is at odds with? During the Cold War, most all of us annually sneezed, wheezed, felt pained and drained by headaches and stomachaches very often produced by viruses carrying Russian names we all learned to despise. Since then, they've often been Chinese: Shanghai, Guizhoa, Shengdong, Nanchang, Szechuan, Beijing, Hong Kong, Wuhan and Fujian, all annually leading to deadly complications in the most vulnerable among us: the very old, the very young, and the very sick, particularly those with weakened immune systems. Such flus can cause pneumonia and other respiratory problems, heart failure, and heart-muscle inflammation in infants.

For instance, during the 1998-1999 influenza season, the CDC recommended that all U.S.-based vaccinations contain the following: an A/Wuhan/359/95(H3N2)-like strain; an A/Bayern/7/95(H1N1)-like strain, and finally, a B/Beijing/184/93-like strain--again, the unfailing, overwhelming Chinese contribution to international misery. During the 1999-2000 winter season, according to the World Health Organization's global influenza surveillance network, the A/Beijing strain was still causing misery, worldwide, just as A/Fujian would again in 2005-2006. Of the 17 influenza isolates (10 influenza A, 7 influenza B viruses) collected by Center for Disease Control labs across the U.S. during the latest season, wouldn't you know the Shanghai and Hong Kong strains are predominant in causing America's flu misery.

As no one is immune, some take these flu shots (another high-profit measure), which may 1) protect, 2) infect, or 3) fail one altogether. (For example, Atlanta's CDC--Centers for Disease Control--noted in 1998 that only 50% of U.S. flu vaccines protected against the A/Sydney flu virus, which would fell 40% of U.S. flu victims that year.) Others resort to expensive antibiotics, which everyone knows are powerfully effective medicines for dealing with bacterial infections, but as research published in l996 sadly revealed: "Effect of antibiotics on viruses--none. Number of antibiotic prescriptions written by American doctors for cold viruses annually--four million." (The same study also noted that colds/flus are the second most common reason Americans visit their doctors.)

Andrew Weil, a Harvard-trained M.D. and botanist, writes in his superb 1995 book, Natural Health, Natural Medicine, pp. 267-8: "Upper respiratory viral infections sometimes move down to the chest, causing bronchitis that can last for weeks. This is also a common complication of influenza, which establishes itself in the chest to begin with. Regular doctors often jump right in with antibiotics to treat these problems, but that is not a good idea, unless there is proof or good reason to suspect that a bacterial infection is present. Bacterial bronchitis, or a secondary bacterial infection following a cold or flu, will generally produce a lot of phlegm and mucus, often discolored dark yellow, green, or rusty brown, along with fever. A sputum culture will confirm the diagnosis. If bacterial infection is not present, I do not recommend taking antibiotics."

TO CIRCUMVENT most of this unnecessary, annual suffering, Nobel chemist Dr. Pauling incurred the wrath of both Symptomatic Medicine and the Pharmaceutical Industry (as has Dr. Weil and countless other avant-garde U.S. physicians practicing the more practical and cost-effective Integrative Medicine--combining the very best ideas and practices of both conventional and alternative medicine, into the new paradigm currently emerging from America's postmodern Healing Revolution) by recommending a safe, inexpensive, simple alternative: megadosing powdered Vitamin C (crystalline ascorbic acid, or sodium ascorbate, or Bronson Pharmaceutical's buffered or reduced-acidity versions. . .available at 1-800-235-3200, Trader Joe's, or your local health-food store or organic supermarket; all produce some intestinal gas, or methane, in many individuals, so kindly pass it discreetly). Nobelist Pauling suggested we take 20-to-30 grams a day at the first symptom (or, if already set in), until all symptoms are gone.

Know that this is what such megadosing CAN sound like, to one who's been virus-plagued far longer than most. . .a Leominster, England, "former top-class cyclist and healer, world-famous for treating cancer," 39, who began his 60-day Program at 5' 10", 176 lbs., wanting "to lose 25 unnecessary lbs.; detox. my body; shift a low-level virus that has taken my strength for 9 mos.; boost my immune system, and revitalise myself--physically, mentally and emotionally," adding: "I found you by searching Google; after many days of visiting sites and looking at links, your site was obviously the only one to engage with!":

         "I took your advice, Dennis, regarding megadoses of vitamin C, and started 21 days ago. My sore throat, which I have had for a year, vanished within two hours, and for the next seven days, I didn't cough up any mucus. On day eight, my breath was awful. On day nine, I started coughing up mucus again, but started to regain my strength. I am now back to about 80% strength on my bike, and feeling very strong and fit, unlike the last two years. Also massive increases in strength and weights lifted in the gym; eg., for an increase on the leg-extension from 191 lbs. to 223 in one session! Thats ridiculous! Best wishes, (confidential)."

Way back down on the scale of cold/flu 'normalcy,' an FCI client recently got this newest misery from China, with his wife. He instantly megadosed C, kicking it in three days without losing work. She didn't, suffering heavily for two weeks, including several days flat on her back, slowly developing a subliminal yet serious 'attitude' toward all things Chinese.

REMEDY:

1 level teaspoon = 4 grams. Taking more at one time can give most the runs, except before bed, when most can take 2-to-3 times that, as you're prone, while sleeping. The laxative-effect differs with individuals, so find your own tolerance.

Mix in one-third glass of water or juice. Stir until dissolved, as it is water-soluble. Drink down--chasing with water or juice if the aftertaste bothers you--between meals, or at their end (reduces gas/laxative-effect in some).

Repeat every 2 or 3 hrs., until you've taken 20-30 grams each 24 hrs. (no toxic dose).

NOTE: By short-circuiting the cold/flu in this way, your body does not build sufficient antibodies. Thus, the virus can come back on you later in the season, if you're once again out-of-balance. Simply repeat the remedy, knowing that C is also the finest detox vitamin, helping remove poisons from your system. As human bodies don't produce C, Dr. Pauling took 12 g./day as a maintenance dose (after discovering that this amount is what animals his size do produce daily in their own bodies), outliving most all of his symptomatic critics, finally passing away at 93. I take five.

   Also, know that your mother was right when she told you to cover your head when going outside on a cold day. As much as 80% of body heat that's lost during cold weather goes out through the top of your head. This, of course, overworks your body's heater, lowers your resistance, and can throw you sufficiently out of balance to allow this latest Made-In-China Misery to get all the foothold it requires. So, hat up, my friends; these latest mutated viruses from Asia ain't just foolin' around, as Sheryl Crow phrased it!--Dennis Paulson, FCI Founder/Director

P.S. Influenza viruses are always mutating (changing). You body's immune system is capable of adapting to small, incremental changes by producing new antibodies after an infection. However, viruses continually achieve significant, dramatic mutations which leave us ALL unprotected (this happens almost every year) and thus, can create epidemics in a population, or spread around the world into full-blown pandemics. The last such global outbreak was in 1968, but the deadliest was the 1918 pandemic which killed 50 million people, worldwide, including 675,000 in the U.S.

The pandemic possibility arose more seriously in 2005 when by year's end, Asian nations had documented more than 60 cases of a lethal strain of Avian flu (also called Bird flu) known as H5N1, although only one of those cases has been passed human-to-human. . .thus far. All other cases jumped to humans from birds. What worried the world's top disease experts, however, is that whereas the deadly SARS virus killed only 1 in 10 of its victims, Avian flu killed more than 40 of its first 60 human victims, moving one expert to label it "SARS on steroids!"

In 2009-2010, a new and very different flu virus (called 2009 H1N1) spread worldwide causing the first flu pandemic in more than 40 years, adding misery during the 2010-2011 flu season, as well (along with two other types of flu--an H3N2 virus and an influenza B virus).

Novel H1N1 (initially referred to as “Swine Flu”) was first detected in people in the U.S. in April, 2009. Other countries, including Mexico and Canada, also reported people sick with this new virus, which was spreading from person-to-person, probably in much the same way that regular, seasonal influenza viruses spread.

Novel H1N1 was originally referred to as “Swine Flu” because laboratory tests indicated that many of the genes in this new virus were very similar to influenza viruses normally occurring in North American pigs. However, further study revealed that this novel virus was very different from what normally circulates in North American pigs. It did have two genes from flu viruses that normally circulate in pigs in Europe and Asia, but it also contained avian genes and human genes, which is why scientists call it a "quadruple reassortant" virus.
