Over the weekend, health officials around the world shifted into high gear as a deadly strain of swine flu began working its way around the globe. On Saturday, the Center for Disease Control (CDC) issued a health advisory about the flu, while the World Health Organization (WHO) held an emergency meeting, declaring that "current events constitute a public health emergency of international concern."

By Sunday, the CDC had identified 20 cases of the outbreak in America, while the New York Times had reported that Hong Kong would quarantine any travelers with symptoms of respiratory illness who had recently travelled to an area affected by the flu.

With cases of swine flu spreading from Mexico to the U.S. and New Zealand, the WHO has entered flu pandemic alert phase 3 (out of 6).

The species of virus is particularly worrisome. Unlike the H5N1 bird flu that has garnered headlines for the last couple of years, this swine flu is an H1N1 virus. H1N1 viruses were responsible for the last pandemic, the 1977 Russian flu, as well as the 1918/1919 Spanish flu, which killed between 50 and 100 million people.

I find there is a instant cure for any Flu. NASAL B-12
If you go to www.popsci.com/node/22953.

You will find it and how to make it. I don't fear any Flu, Cold, Sinusitis, or viral disease, when I have access to Nasal B-12, but watch out, because, The Drug industry will want to make B-12 a prescription Drug now, and charge you $$$$$$$

What Nasal B-12 does is Destroys the Viruses. It is very simple, Viruses are mainly Acid. B-12 is mainly Cobalt.
Acids attack the Cobalt a heavy metal. That is how the Virus is destroyed, at the same time creating Bioelectricity

A good example is your Car Battery, Your car battery has in it Sulfuric Acid, and Lead plates. What creates the electricity, is the Acid attacking the lead plates.

Mainly all Viruses have a outer, and a inner shell of protein (Amino Acid) The nodes that attach to the cells are also basically protein, the Inner Core is composed of Nucleic acid.

Now it really doesn't take a Rocket scientist
to figure out what happens, when you combine B-12 with a virus. Goodbye Flu!
I have done independent research on B-12, and it's reactions to Diseases, since 1995.

Flu,don't eat any Protein! Viruses are mainly composed of protein. When you eat protein, it just makes the viruses that much stronger.

The only way you can destroy a respiratory virus, is you have to attack it DIRECTLY! Why, because the cells that line the respiratory track, are NOT bathed in the blood stream.
so if you get a shot, or take anything by mouth it can't attack the virus. The ONLY way you can attack the virus is through the nose! What destroys the virus, is the HIGH amount of COBALT that is in the B12. I feel Nasal B12 could also be used as a effective Vaccine, as you wouldn't worry what ever kind of strain of Flu you would catch.

Viruses are basically all acid, Acids attack heavy metals, and when it attack the cobalt, the Cobalt synthesizes it and the virus basically converts to water.

B12 SYNTHESIZES Nucleic Acid proteins!
