Everything is coming down to Georgia! <- Click here
Rasmussen reports that Georgia's U.S. Senator Saxby Chambliss is clinging to a narrow lead of only four points in the runoff election scheduled for December 2nd.
With Republican Ted Stevens defeated for the Senate from Alaska and liberal Al Franken within two hundred votes of overtaking Norm Coleman with the Minnesota recount yet to even begin, the Chambliss seat is all that stands between Senate Democrats and 60 votes in the U.S. Senate.

With 60 votes, Obama and the Democrats will be able to overcome a filibuster and control the U.S. Congress completely.

on a completely different subject...So why should any of us care?
A person experiencing decreased immune function is at increased risk of developing frequent colds, flus and cancer. With a compromised immune system, initially mild infections may become more serious. A person may be born with an immune system that produces low levels of antibodies in general, or the immune system may produce low levels of antibodies in response to certain diseases (like cancer).




1. THE TRUTH ABOUT THE FLU SHOTS, DO THEY WORK?

Several weeks ago I went to a local store and they were providing flu shots in the lobby. Last week I was in Chicago airport and they were giving shots at the airport. When I was at the store I asked if the shots contained mercury, the nurse assured me they did not. I then asked if I could look at the label. Sure enough each shot contains 25mcg's of mercury. It's amazing the nurse didn't even know what she was injecting.
Now the government is telling us another influenza season is beginning and the US Center of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) will strongly urge Americans to get a flu shot. In fact, the CDC mounts a well orchestrated campaign each season to generate interest and demand for flu shots.
However in a recent study published in the October issue of the Archives of Pediatric & Adolescent Medicine found that vaccinating young children against the flu appeared to have zero impact on flu-related hospitalizations or doctors visits during two recent flu seasons.......


2. VITAMIN D SUPPLEMENTS....CLICK HERE

Vitamin D, the "sunshine vitamin" may well be one of the most important vitamins there is for disease prevention. Unfortunately it's of the vitamins that a vast majority of people across the world are deficient in due to lack of regular exposure to sunshine. It seems that everyone uses sunscreen to try to avoid the sun.
Published in the journal Epidemiology and Infection in 2006, the hypothesis presented by Dr. John Cannell and colleagues in the paper Epidemic Influenza and Vitamin D actually makes a lot of sense.
They raise the possibility that Influenza is a symptom of vitamin D deficiency!



3. HOW TO STRENGTHEN YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM

Immunoglobulins are one of the most important products of the immune system. Also known as antibodies, they are substances in your blood produced by the body's immune system. The basic function of immunoglobulins is to find and tag foreign substances (antigens) such as bacteria, viruses and other environmental pathogens. When an immunoglobulin attaches to the antigen, this prevents the antigen from finding its target rendering it inactive. For example, if the antigen bound by an antibody is a virus, the antibody can prevent the attachment of the virus to your cells. Likewise, binding of an antibody to a toxin prevents the uptake of the toxin by the body. In both examples, the antibody has effectively neutralized the foreign invader. Immunoglobulins can also tag the foreign substance with a coating so that it can be recognized as foreign; ingested by specialized white blood cells; destroyed; and presented on the surface of the white blood cells for recognition by other cells of the immune system. Unlike antibiotics, immunoglobulins also allow the immune system to specifically recognize foreign invaders while ignoring good bacteria that are part of the body's natural environment. What this means is that it can help stop a problem before it starts.
