Thousands of Americans died from H1N1 even after receiving vaccine shots.
Not surprised at all with this news. Contained within this article is the following:
The CDC statistics lie by omission. They do not reveal the single most important piece of information about H1N1 vaccines: How many of the people who died from the swine flu had already been vaccinated?

My first surprise in reading this article was the fact that there are different kinds of swine flu vaccine, and being inquisitive by nature, of course wonder why that is? Are there diverse kinds of swine flu….or is there even a real thing called swine flu? Are we ingesting vaccines of God only knows what, under the pretext that there is something out there called swine flu that might kill us or make us seriously ill? Is it coincidental that the timing of this, of getting the vaccine for the swine flu comes around during that time of year when we North Americans are plagued with the good old fashioned ordinary flu? Do we simply only have the regular flu that hits this time of the year, every year like clockwork?
What’s going on out there folks – and hopefully those who haven’t taken the swine flu shot and see this article – yes posted by US Today – that talks of us here in Canada having a different vaccine to that in the USA – you too will ask yourself some more penetrating and probing questions…and will decide not to take it and suffer through the regular good old fashion flu symptoms that our bodies have learned to ward off year after year!
Again, I ask the question, how many kinds of swine flu are there, that we have different kinds of vaccines?
Drug company GlaxoSmithKline has told Canadian doctors to stop using one lot of its H1N1 vaccine until an investigation into a higher.than.expected number of severe allergic reactions is completed.
“The voluntary hold has no impact on the United States,” company spokeswoman Sarah Alspach said Tuesday. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved GSK’s H1N1 vaccine this month, Alspach said, and the company expects to begin shipping it out in the USA in December. The U.S. vaccine will not be identical to Arepanrix, the GSK H1N1 vaccine used in Canada. Arepanrix contains an adjuvant, a substance designed to boost the immune response, but adjuvants have never been approved for use in U.S. flu vaccines.
Almost all of the 172,000 doses in question, distributed the week of Nov. 2 to six Canadian provinces, already have been administered, said Geoffrey Matthews, a spokeswoman for the
Public Health Agency of Canada, which, with GSK and Health Canada, is investigating cases of anaphylaxis.
On Nov. 18, Matthews said, his agency asked the company to tell the provinces to stop using vaccine from the lot. Symptoms of anaphylaxis include trouble breathing, chest tightness and swelling of the mouth and throat. Six cases have been reported, Matthews says, and all patients have fully recovered from what is a treatable but life.threatening event. Fewer than two cases would usually be expected if every dose in the lot had been administered. Canadians who have received the vaccine and not had an allergic reaction have no reason to worry, Matthews said.
In the USA, the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System said that as of Nov. 13 it had received 116 reports of serious health events related to the vaccine, including eight deaths – similar to the number in previous years after a similar number of seasonal flu vaccine doses had been shipped.

There’s nothing like feeling under the weather to get you thinking about how fortunate you are; having a flu bug or a cold…that will eventually go away, so you can return back to feeling normal (whatever ‘normal’ is)…and quickly forget how grateful you were, when feeling sick, that it wasn’t a lifetime ailment and “this too will pass.” Isn’t that just like us; okay it’s just like me and we’ll keep it at that, it’s just like me. Been warding off something for going on three weeks now, and this week-end it knocked me off my feet with cold symptoms: sneezing, wheezing, loss of voice, sore throat, aching parts of the body that I hadn’t been aware of for a very long time. I think I am over the worst, and I am, really and truly, grateful that I was created in such perfection with all my parts functioning as they should be. I am grateful that despite myself…my wild and crazy years of growing up as a teenager, wanting to fit in with the crowd so I tried and did things…well, we’ll leave it at that – suffice it to say, that despite self-abuse (come on now, be honest: we’ve all done things that we look back in amazement at from our youthful exuberant years…wondering how in heaven’s name we ever survived; our bodies ever survived relatively unscathed!) that the perfectly healthy and perfectly functioning body that YHWH blessed me with, is still in great shape and functioning as it should be.
Relatively speaking, I am a healthy person and health conscious. It’s not that I deliberately make a choice and say, “I’m going to live a healthy lifestyle,” and thus feel like I have to “give up something wonderful” to have that lifestyle. It’s just that I’ve been blessed with happening to love the right things. For instance, there’s many a time I’ve gone out for dinner with friends and been known to cancel the main course because I “pigged out” at the salad bar. I love salads; every kind and everything thing about salads. Exercise is also something I happen to love doing; it’s not a chore and never has been and in fact because I spent so much time at the Y they suggested I become an instructor…and so I did; I became a certified fitness instructor in aerobics and weight training. I love things, as well, that feed my spirit and soul. Despite growing up and hating to read…I now devour books and love reading and learning and studying about things. My worse subject in school was history; I hated it. Now, I love learning about ancient cultures; uncovering and discovering ancient writings and readings.
I digress…this article was to be about CoEnzyme Q10. It’s a relatively new “fad”. By new I mean in perhaps the last 10 years. I’ve been a frequenter of health food stores for over 30 years and my daughters used to make fun of me, because I didn’t “grocery shop,” I “health food” shopped. Ten years ago, I don’t recall seeing as much or anything about CoEnzyme Q10 (let’s shorten this and simply call it “Q10″). Now you find it everywhere; not just in health food stores. I vaguely knew from reading something briefly a few years ago that it had something to do with circulation or the heart. Today in looking something up to complete my little story (posted earlier today) on “Gotta Cold,” I came across some information on Q10. I wish I’d know of it before; before my father passed away. It might have been good for him, for you see he had heart challenges and while visiting the emergency department because he felt funny, 10 hours later, in their care, he had two massive heart attacks and passed away. Before his passing, he had a cupboard full of medications from his many doctors, for his heart, circulation, etc. etc.
I hope this information is helpful to someone. It’s helping me educate myself as I write this blog.
Q10 is a natural substance that is produced by our bodies (I didn’t know that) belonging to the “quinone” family. It is found in all living things (animal & people) as well as many foods such as nuts and oils. According to the article I read, it’s really only been in use this last decade (see I wasn’t so far off) and has been used to maintain general good health and to treat heart disease.
Q10 is a catalyst for metabolism: the chain of chemical reactions during which food is broken down into energy that can be used by the body. Perhaps that is why so many people are lethargic and possibly even having weight problems. I don’t know about you, but I was shocked to learn not that long ago, that apparently women’s metabolism is almost cut in half at age 40! Give me a break! Is that why so many women, generally slim and in shape, start getting “paunches” or little stomachs? Actually, the answer to that question is that I’ve heard that happens because of stress. In women, when under stress, the fat hits the gut! So ladies…de-stress and you’ll lose your gut. I digress again.
Q10 works with enzymes (ergo “co-enzyme” Q10) speeding up the vital metabolic process and providing the energy needed by cells to:
It is found in every cell of the human body. Gee, as I am writing/reading this, I am wondering if taking extra Q10 would slow down the aging process: you know, us women, how we begin to lose some of the elasticity of the skin (why do you think there are so many plastic surgeons doing face lifts…ugh; maybe replenishment of Q10 would do the same thing?). It is more abundant in the cells of the heart and assists the heart in beating in excess of 100,000 times a day (phew, I’m exhausted).
Q10 also acts as an antioxidant. Now there’s a “term” of the 2000’s: everything you see and hear about these days is or has “antioxidant” benefits or qualities to it, and that’s because our atomosphere is polluted; our food is polluted, our soil in which it grows is polluted; our animals are toxic…. . Q10 works in much the same way as Vitamins C and E: it helps neutralize cell damaging molecules known as free radicals. Any women reading this will have at least seen, if not used, facial creams advertised as being “laced with vitamin C” to ward of the air’s pollution and free radicals that threaten to destroy your beautiful skin!
Q10 has been said to have the following benefits:
I don’t know about you, but I’m heading to my health food store tomorrow to get me some Q10. I just convinced myself I could use some; especially coming from a family with a history of heart disease. I lost my oldest brother (only 1 year older than me) in 1996 to a massive heart attack!
In closing, I just found this article on a site run by the Mayo Clinic (I think just about everyone has heard that name). It doesn’t say Q10 does all these things, but that the benefits and results are controversial. I don’t know about you, but if there was the slightest chance, if I was suffering some terrible disease, that by boosting my Q10 level I’d improve, I’d sure as heck give it a shot. The other thing that I find interesting, that I had no idea about, is that according to this article, there are “prescription medications” (doesn’t say which ones) that deplete our own natural Q10 levels. Now why doesn’t that surprise me….I’ve no use for Rx…drugs!
Background
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is produced by the human body and is necessary for the basic functioning of cells. CoQ10 levels are reported to decrease with age and to be low in patients with some chronic diseases such as heart conditions, muscular dystrophies, Parkinson’s disease, cancer, diabetes, and HIV/AIDS. Some prescription drugs may also lower CoQ10 levels.
Levels of CoQ10 in the body can be increased by taking CoQ10 supplements, although it is not clear that replacing “low CoQ10″ is beneficial.
CoQ10 has been used, recommended, or studied for numerous conditions, but remains controversial as a treatment in many areas.
I enjoyed researching and writing this article and hope it is beneficial to you.
