How to Build
Natural Immunity
Against the Swine
Flu
There are many natural remedies that will raise your immunity to the Swine Flu and other viral and bacterial diseases. Many peo-ple do not have immunity to the current strain of Swine Flu. This is not unusual be-cause most viruses alter as the virus season goes along. Most people will not become sick because the issue is not the virus but SUS-CEPTIBILITY. Viruses will not multiply in a healthy body. We constantly have Streptococcus in our throats, yet we rarely experience Strep Throat. The same is true of this Swine Flu and other viral strains. Exposure will lead to
disease only if the immune system is sup-pressed and if the vitality of the person is weakened. Do NOT suppress mucus. It is important to let the body discharge toxins. Most viruses become less aggressive over time because they want to spread and not to kill their hosts. If they kill their hosts, they die as well. The viruses that do survive --the ones in humans with strong immune systems-- become less virulent so that their hosts, us humans, go to work, shake hands and sneeze on others to continue to spread the virus.
Using herbs, homeopathy, and vitamins will
increase your health and reduce your suscepti-
bility.
DIGESTION Some say that the flu "begins in the gut and ends in the gut". This means that if you have good digestion, you will increase your re-sistance to this and other flu strains. Take a probiotic daily. Live probiotics are available in natural food stores, and probiotics are now more widely available in grocery stores, in yogurt culture and even in chocolate. HOMEOPATHY The homeopathic remedy Anas Barbariae is made from the liver of migrating geese. Be-cause they travel the world, they build im-munity to many viruses years before humans do. Be sure to get the 2009 version by check-ing the expiration date. It has been found that the remedy Ferrum phos is effective in treat-ing the early stages of the flu, when used in the first 24 hours. Also the remedy Influenzi-num can be taken as a prophylaxis. This rem-edy is made from the same disease strain as the CDC uses to make each season's flu vac-cine.

How to Build Natural Immunity Against the Swine Flu
By Bonnie Camo MD
Lead poisoning is thought to have
led to the downfall of the Roman Em-
pire. The ancient Roman water pipes
were made of up to 99.3% lead, accord-
ing to Dr. K-G Wenzel in The Earth’s
Gift to Medicine. I actually saw the
remains of some of these lead pipes on
a recent visit to Pompeii, the Roman
city buried by the eruption of Vesuvius
in 79 AD. The upper classes also used
lead-containing glazes on their ceramic
drinking vessels. It seems probable that
lead was a factor in the rise and fall of
insane, murderous emperors like Nero
and Caligula.
Several decades ago, Dr. William Walsh, former head of the Argonne National Laboratory near Chicago, ana-lyzed hair samples from inmates in the California prison system. He found high levels of lead, a known neurotoxin, in all serial killers and mass murderers tested. Serial killers are generally con-sidered sociopaths, people who lack a conscience and empathy, and kill me-thodically and with premeditation. Mass murderers, on the other hand, seem normal until they suddenly snap under extreme stress, go temporarily insane and shoot everybody in a McDonald’s, or a school, for instance. Dr. Walsh found both types high in cadmium as well as lead, and low in zinc. The mass murderers also tended to have high copper. Walsh later went
on to found the Pfeiffer Treatment Center (PTC), named after my mentor, Dr. Carl Pfeiffer, with whom he collab-orated. The PTC tests and treats peo-ple for heavy metals, vitamin and min-eral deficiencies and other imbalances related to mental and physical illnesses.
Zinc deficiency is common in the general public in the US and in the Mid-dle East. Dr. Pfeiffer speculated that this could be a factor in the “warlike, violent nature” of these areas. Dr. Walsh was on the Phil Donohue televi-sion show many years ago, and was asked which was more important in producing violent behavior, heredity or environment. He answered that it was a combination of “a bad chemistry and a bad childhood”. It is interesting to note that the crime rate in the US went down sharply eighteen years after Roe versus Wade legalized abortion in 1973, according to Freakonomics, by Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner. Apparently many women who want an abortion realize that they do not have the emotional or financial re-sources necessary to raise a healthy child. Another reason for the decrease in crime may be the removal of lead from gasoline. According to the EPA, blood lead levels declined by 37% in association with a 50% drop in the use of leaded gasoline between 1976 and 1980. Low zinc is associated with anger, hostility and verbal abuse, according to The Crazy Makers, by Carol Simontac-chi, perhaps because low zinc allows lead and cadmium to rise. Many brain enzymes require zinc for activation. One of the main sources of cadmium toxicity is tobacco smoking. Cadmium is thought to contribute to emphysema. Smoking also depletes vitamin C, which is needed to help prevent cancer and, along with zinc, to help excretion of heavy metals.

“Low zinc is associ-ated with anger, hostility and verbal abuse.”
Heavy Metal Brain Damage

Other sources of cadmium are refined foods, which have a low zinc to cadmium ratio, and old galvanized water pipes, made with zinc that was contaminated with cadmium. Newer water pipes made of copper seemed like a good sub-stitute, but copper levels can go too high, especially with acidic well water. Greenish-blue stains in the sink and tub are a warning sign of high copper levels. Copper, unlike lead and cadmium, is an essential mineral, but excessive amounts can lead to hypertension, depression, hyperactivity, headaches and other disorders. Many com-mercial multivitamins have too much copper. Chocolate is also quite high in copper. Two milligrams is considered the daily requirement, but this does not take into consideration the copper that is being absorbed from food and water.
The epidemic of autism appears to coincide with in-
creased vaccinations containing mercury, aluminum and
other toxic substances.
High levels of toxins and heavy metals in the environ-
ment, and a genetic inability to detoxify, contribute to
autism and other disorders affecting the brain, like atten-
tion deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), schizophre-
nia,and even sociopathy.

Sign up for our book club!! There is a book club in
progress!!
The first book up for
discussion: Eating An-
imals by Johnathan
Safran Foer.
The book makes a
compelling argument
for how imperative it
is ecologically and
socially to get away
from the factory meth-
ods of farming currently
used in nearly all of
America’s meat indus-
tries.
It’s an engaging read,
supported by facts, and
could challenge you on
the question, “what
should I eat today.”
It’s a fun read, and may
inspire some good peace-
ful conversations, which is
what we need on a hot
button topic like the con-
temporary food industry.

Glasgow Membership Committee – Goals are facilitating member processes, increasing general membership and member labor, and keeping materials current. The Floor Managers now review and ap-prove all store worker hours at the end of each month and a current discount report is printed weekly. The Rolling-Membership referendum question was approved and the Tech Committee is helping to set up CiviCRM, which will be used to implement this system. The Membership Committee is also continu-ing to develop structure and uses for the upcoming message board upgrade, in-cluding the ability to conduct secure voting online. Online voting would greatly reduce the cost of holding refer-enda votes and potentially increase member participation in these votes. As of August 1, the Co-op had 180 mem-bers in good standing, which included 22 monthly workers, 46 weekly workers and 2 superworkers. 42 of those work-ing members logged 528.54 hours in July. And most importantly, the Mem-bership Committee is preparing for Sep-tember 1 renewals by creating a new, more user-friendly Membership Agree-ment form and communicating all re-newal information to the Co-op mem-bership. Facilities Committee – Their goal is to maintain the physical plant of the Co-op. Routine maintenance was completed and a new curtain was installed on the grab-and-go case to keep those foods fresh longer. They report that the base-ment is cooler due to the new water cooling system and the café is progress-ing. Future projects include continuing the never-ending work in the attic clean-up and repairing the storage refrigerator when the Co-op’s cash flow improves.
The committee is always hoping to in-crease their workforce and members can contact Richard Menashe (732-767-0720) to help. Outreach Committee – Goals are re-cruiting volunteers and organizing monthly and special events to promote awareness of, membership in, and sales at the Co-op; and updating Co-op litera-ture. The Outreach Committee has been preparing for the grand opening of the Café which will take place on September 21, 2013. Events are being planned for every weekend from that date forward. Ideas so far include classes on health, cooking, yoga and reiki, board games, club meetings, art exhibitions, and open mic and other music performances. New ideas for these weekend events are always welcomed – please contact John Leary. Finance Committee – This commit-tee’s goals include increasing revenue, promoting fundraising, and decreasing costs by identifying and reducing finan-cial waste. The Co-op’s taxes are now current and they are planning to com-plete a store inventory at the end of Au-gust. A committee member is working on an improved monthly system to re-view operations related to how much is sold to how many shoppers, and with monthly updates of inventory adjust-ments. They are pursuing the help of the Rutgers Business School to assist in the Co-op’s business operations and have implemented improved techniques for tracking produce waste and spoilage. Technology Committee – Goals in-clude implementing a Point of Sale (POS) system with integrated UPC scan-ning, inventory control and detailed
sales statistics reporting, maintaining the Co-op’s website, and increasing Co-op revenues by having online credit card approval processes. The Tech commit-tee’s current projects include the Point of Sale system, deployment of CiviCRM, developing the new message board, re-designing the network, and creating a backup/file repository. A future project will be to set up the café to receive cred-it card payments. Any members wishing to participate in these or other tech-related activities should contact Joel at [email protected].
Product Committee – The commit-tee’s goals are determining overpriced products with the intention of eliminat-ing high prices that turn off customers, minimizing product waste, increasing member participation in the Product Committee, and working to create a strategic product mix in the store. Com-mittee members are awaiting the com-pletion of the Point of Sale system to assess what products are the best fit for the store. In the interim, they are col-lecting information on the size of all products in the store to feed into the system. Also, they are serving coffee samples received from vendors to deter-mine if these would be good to carry in the store.
Personnel Committee – This commit-tee did not meet and has no current re-port. For future scheduled meetings please consult the Co-op’s calendar (online or in the store). To contact a committee chairperson, please see the inside cover of this newsletter.
Committee Corner
If you think that just because summer is over, it’s time to pack on some winter padding…think again! Follow my fall workout tips to keep your summer body all year round.
Just because the weather is cooling down and you’re
wearing additional clothing doesn’t mean that you should
abandon your summer bikini body. Instead, keep your sum-
mer body with a fall workout! Exercise should be done year
-round because true health and fitness is achieved with a
consistent plan.
Give my fall workout a try to add some fitness to your colder days and nights. It’s great for toning your arms, core and legs. This fall workout routine is also great for building strength and burning calories.
It should take you about 30 minutes to complete and can be done in the comfort of your own home. If you don’t have enough time to complete the entire workout, just do a few moves or one set to fit exercise to your day.
What you’ll need:
A chair
A set of hand weights
A mat.
Pre workout warm up
It is important to prepare your body for exercise! Spend at least 10 minutes warming up your body with cardio exer-cise. For example, you can jog for 5 minutes, followed by jumping jacks or jump rope.

D I P
This move works the triceps at the back of your arms. Sit in
the chair and place your hands on the chair next to
you. Place your feet out in front of you keeping your thighs
parallel to the floor. Lower out of the chair, and as you bend
your arms your elbows should go behind you, supporting
your body weight. Finish this move by pushing back up to
the starting position.
FALL WO RK OUT M OVE 4 : HA NDS
A ND K NEE S BALA NC E
This total body move works your abdominal core muscles, arms and legs. Get onto the floor on your hands and knees. Position yourself so that your wrists are directly underneath your shoulders and hips over the knees while keeping your back flat. Then lift up one leg behind you and also lift the opposite arm out in front of you. You can hold this pose or crunch bringing your knee to chest and elbow to knee. Once you’ve done one side, repeat on the other side.
FALL WO RK OUT M OVE 5 : C UR TSEY
L UNGE WIT H LEG LI FT
This move works your inner and outer thighs as well as your
glutes. Stand tall and place your hands on a chair for bal-
ance. Take a backward lunge step with your left leg, taking
your back foot just past the mid line of your body. The knee
on your front leg (right leg) should not pass the line of your
toe as you lower your body. Keep your core muscles tight
and
back straight. Return to standing, keeping a
flexed foot take your leg out to side.
FALL WORKOUT MOVE 6:
BRIDGE POSE WITH CHEST
PRESS
This move will work your chest muscles, core and glutes. Start by lying on your back practic-ing the bridge pose. Squeeze your glutes and raise your hips up off the floor to make a straight line from the shoulder to the knees. Once you are able to hold this position, you can add in the chest press. Hold weights palms facing forward and in line with your chest. Press the weights up, hold for a second, then return to the starting position.
Do 10-12 repetitions of each exercise in this fall workout and then try to repeat the exercises for three sets. I hope you enjoyed this fall workout routine. Remember that fitness is not just for the summer it’s for life!

LIFESTYLE ADVICE 1. Get Plenty of Sleep
To improve your resistance to any disease, the most im-
portant thing you can do is get enough rest. Your body
knows how to heal, and it does this best when sleeping. Get
adequate rest on a daily basis, and if you begin to feel fa-
tigue during a time of increased stress to your immune sys-
tem, take naps, get into bed earlier, relax and let your body
do what it does best: restore and rebuild.
2. Hydrate
Our bodies are 80% water. Drink plenty of water each day
to stay hydrated and to allow the body to flush toxins from
the blood and the liver. Drink pure water, not soda or juice,
for best results.
3. Exercise
Exercise increases your resistance to disease. It stimulates
the cleansing blood flow and increases your natural stress
reducing hormones. Exercise doesn't have to be strenuous
to be beneficial. Science has shown that walking daily is
good for your health and well being.
4. Spend time outdoors
The healing benefits of nature are yours and all you need to
do is step outside. The fresh air cleanses your lungs and the
vitamin D from sunshine is great for general health. Even
on a rainy day or at night, the fresh air is beneficial.
5. Exercise
Exposure to nature and the great out-
doors helps healthy emotions.
HERBS TO BUILD PROTECTION
AND NATURAL IMMUNITY
1.Echinaea--Echinacea is best taken in
advance of getting sick.
2.Olive Leaf
3.Elderberries
4 Adaptogens
Adaptogens are plants that have the
ability to resist chemical and biologi-
cal stressors and to pass that ability on
to humans. Eleutherococcus research
has shown a 30% to 50% decrease in
influenza in Russian workers. Shisan-
dra has long been used in Chinese
medicine to improve immune function through its healing
action on the liver. In recent research, Shisandra proved
curative to the viral hepatitis. Codonopsis is another adap-
togen used in Chinese herbal medicine. It increases the red
and white blood cell counts and strengthens the immune
system.
VITAMINS 1. Vitamin A is one of the main components of the skin. To
strengthen the skin's protective ability, take vitamin A dai-
ly. Vitamin A also increases the white blood cells that fight
disease.
2. Vitamin C --Research has shown that vitamin C im-
proves resistance to disease and prevents flu symptoms
when 1,000 mg doses are taken every six hours.
3. NAC is an amino acid that has been shown to raise im-
munity to the flu in clinical trials.
4.Probiotics. Healthy flora in the gut supports immune
function.
By improving your lifestyle, your diet, and supplementing
with natural herbs, homeopathy, and vitamins, you can im-
prove your immune system and your overall vitality.
Seek medical help if symptoms persist of if you develop a
high fever.

How to avoid organic cosmetics fraud
The word "organic" is not properly regulated on personal care products (example: toothpaste, shampoo, lotion, etc.) as it is on food products, unless the product is certified by the USDA National Organic Program.
Due to this lax regula-tion, many personal care products have the word "organic" in their brand name or otherwise on their product label, but, unless they are USDA certified, the main cleans-
ing ingredients and preservatives are usually made with syn-thetic and petrochemical compounds.
Look for the USDA organic seal on personal care products that claim to be organic. Although there are multiple "organic" and "natural" standards, each with its own varying criteria, the USDA Organic Standards are the "gold standard" for personal care products.
If you want a product that is totally organic, look for the USDA organic seal. If it doesn't have the seal, read the ingre-dient label to find out how many ingredients are truly organic and how many are synthetic.

Continuing on the earlier subject it is important to
plan in advance if you dream of buying a home. En-
suring you have adequate down payment funds saved,
good credit and that you understand the obligations
and burdens of homeownership as well as how to
choose the most suitable home and location are all im-
portant aspects of this goal.
Let us look more at the financing. Most of us can’t
afford a home without a loan. Long in advance of
purchase it is necessary to understand the kinds of
loans available and know how to compare the offer-
ings. Establish a bank account and a good relation-
ship with a trusted credit union or local bank. These
local institutions sometimes keep their loans ‘in
house’ meaning that they can make decisions on a lo-
cal level for known customers and this can be benefi-
cial. Large corporate banks tend to work best with
‘cookie cutter’ loan applications such as someone with
a stable job with a reliable paycheck buying an ordi-
nary home, a home that is easy to get a good appraisal
on and is in very good condition. If you are self em-
ployed or are buying a unique or damaged property
expect more difficulty in getting a loan. Be prepared
in advance, create a realistic monthly budget and do
what you can to limit your expenses so that you can
put funds away for the future. The more you can save
up the better position you will be in when it comes
time to buy. This is hard to do for many of us so seek
expert advice if necessary.
In general because of the way the credit
agencies rate your creditworthiness it is good to have a
couple of credit cards or charge cards and to use them
regularly, but not excessively and to always pay the
minimum or more on time every time. Remember that
credit inquiries can negatively impact your credit
score so do not apply for other types of loans or credit
unless they are very necessary. Do not build up a
balance and if you have one figure out how to pay it
down. That is a complete topic of its’ own but re-
member to pay your student loans, car loans or any-
thing else on time and think carefully before each pur-
chase. Don’t buy frivolous items or items that are
costly without careful consideration. Think every sin-
gle time before you use a credit card. Be ruthless with
your income, how much can you put in the bank from
each check you get?
More Thoughts on Homebuying
Do you really need that extra luxury item now or can you enjoy life without it so that you have some savings for the future. Aim at having 20% of what your desired home will cost in your savings account.
Shop carefully for your mortgage. Do you qualify for a first time home buyer (FHA) or a Veteran’s Ad-ministration (VA) loan? Ask financial institutions you know and trust what their rates are, noting that a 15 year loan will have a lower rate than a 30 year loan and that there are fixed rate and adjustable rate loans. Fig-ure out the price range of a home you can afford, fac-toring in property tax and estimated homeowner’s in-surance costs. If you buy a condo or apartment there will be association fees – find out what these are and how often they go up and if they anticipate any capital expense that will raise them. Estimate utility costs and repair costs. While it is impossible to know these in advance speak to people you know who own similar homes, as your real estate agent and ask the sellers to try to get an idea. Understand realistic total monthly costs for homeownership before making an offer to be most certain know you can afford it. Let the buyer beware! Ultimately if it is in your plans to own a home I’d say the time to buy is when you are ready and the opportunity arises for the right home at an affordable price. The best one can do is keep in-formed and watch the loan market and the market in your target locale and make your best call on it. Know in advance what type of neighborhood, what size home and what size lot you feel you need and what kind of features are essential. This way when a house that is suitable shows up you will be best prepared. A future article will look at how to evaluate the structure of a home and another article will be for those who rent as to how to try to discern the best rental options.
