Debbie Bruck, homeopath therapist, says in her blog Homeopathy World Community: "You are not protected against swine flu if you received a flu vaccine. NOTE: Many of the deaths that occurred in the great 1918 Flu pandemic can be attributed to the use of aspirin which lowers fever and prevents the body's immune system to fight against the virus by raising the temperature of the body. ... There are a few homeopathic approaches for the onset of flu. As soon as you notice those body aches and pains and you realize this isn't a regular cold, then take a dose of Oscillococcinum ... Influenzinum can be given as pro-active treatment, the same as oscillococcinum. "Bente Ødegård says in her blog, "An article published in the Journal of the American Institute of Homeopathy in May 1921 states that Dean W.A.Pearson of Philadelphia collected 26,795 cases of influenza treated by homeopathic physicians with only a mortality rate of 1.05%, while the average conventional medical approach had a mortality rate of 30%. During this time there were many Medical Doctors practicing homeopathic medicine throughout Europe and in America, much to the chagrin of non-homeopathic doctors and pharmacists. While conventional hospitals in the US had an 80-90% loss of life during the scarlet fever, Cholera and Flu epidemics around 1919, Homeopathic Hospitals had only a 2-5% loss."
