I wish these people also had access to probiotics. Our family takes the Vidazorb chewable probiotics, and I have read so much on all of the health benefits that probiotics have for our us. I have read how they can help boost immunities, help with skin conditions (our son's Eczema and allergies were dramatically helped by them), they can help with digestion and nutrient absorption etc They are awesome and how great it would be if these people had a way to boost their and strengthen their immune system and whole body to help stay healthy.

I'm sure the solution for native people's is taking steps to support their good health through social justice, not just injections.

An Albany NY talk show yesterday mentioned the problem that receiving the normal flu shot would INCREASE the probability of getting swine flu. That radio program stated that the vaccine was being stopped in 3 Canadian Provinces. I don't know if that is true. BUT this is from an article by Helen Branswell Medical Reporter (CP) – "...TORONTO An unpublished Canadian study that suggests seasonal flu shots raise a person's risk of catching swine flu is raising concern abroad and triggering changes to flu vaccine program schedules at home. The data, referred to as "the Canadian problem" by some scientists outside this country, are reported to link getting a flu shot last year with double the risk of contracting swine flu this year...." In addition, on C-span the other night, it was stated that anyone receiving the swine flu shot should request that it be given from an individual vial, not the larger vials that are used for multiple shots. The larger vials contain more mercury because more of a preservative it needed in them. A lot of safety questions remain. The only thing for sure is that the poor will suffer the most.
