Monatau is concerned with the Swine Flu spreading very fast and we want to try to stop it in its tracks.  Here at Monatau, we have been working on Monatau Silver for a while now.   Monatomic Silver is similar to the Monatau Extreme, but has one atom Silver rather than Gold. We were hoping to launch it this summer, but with the new scare among us, we are jumping the gun and we are going to make it readily available. The label is not even finished but we have no time to waste. We have temporarily made labels for the new product and will be making it available to our customers’ friends and family members right now.

When the body becomes acidic at the cellular level, it creates a breeding ground for germs, bacteria, and other microorganisms. These can only grow and multiply in an acidic environment. If the fluids of the body (blood, saliva, etc), maintain an alkaline level, it will be impossible for these organisms to multiply or even survive.

According to Alternative Medicine, June 2002, a technique to improve the immunity of the body is to use a natural antibiotic/antiviral like Monatomic Silver. When administered orally, it can boost the immunity of the body. Monatomic Silver has been tested in UCLA School of Medicine, California and proven effective against 650 known pathogens, microorganisms, bacteria, fungi (including Candida Albicans and Candida Globata), protozoa and viruses.  In comparison, drug antibiotics are perhaps effective only against half a dozen organisms. Monatomic Silver has also been used to improve immunity of AIDs patients. It has no side effects, as it is biocompatible with the human body.

A thriving alkaline body helps to achieve a higher immune system. Improving the immune system, to prevent infections, is a safer and naturally a pleasant way to maintain a balance in the human body.

The Swine Flu is Among Us!

We recommend taking 1 dropper of Monatomic Silver per fifty pounds body weight for possible flu prevention, and one dropper every hour if you have the Swine flu.

The CDC reports that the symptoms and transmission of the swine flu from human to human is much like that of seasonal flu. Common symptoms include fever, lethargy, and lack of appetite and coughing.  Runny nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea have also been reported. It is believed to be spread between humans through coughing or sneezing of infected people and touching something with the virus on it and then touching their own nose or mouth.

Background of the Swine Flu

The swine flu is a descendant of the infamous "Spanish flu" that caused a devastating pandemic in humans in 1918-1919. In less than a year, that pandemic killed more than 500,000 Americans and some 20 million people worldwide - the greatest number ever killed in so short a period by any natural or man-made catastrophe. It also killed and sickened large numbers of hogs. Within a decade, the disease stopped circulating among humans, but it has infected swine ever since. Although hogs had initially caught the virus from humans, it has undergone slight changes over the years, emerging occasionally to infect individuals who work closely with pigs. However, there have only been 12 cases in the U.S. since 2005 in which humans caught swine flu after being in contact with pigs and there is currently no requirement that pigs be vaccinated against swine flu.

The flu virus is perhaps the trickiest known to medical science; it constantly changes form to elude the protective antibodies that the body has developed in response to previous exposures to influenza or to influenza vaccines. Every two or three years the virus undergoes minor changes. Then, at intervals of roughly a decade, after the bulk of the world's population has developed some level of resistance to these minor changes, it undergoes a major shift that enables it to tear off on yet another pandemic sweep around the world, infecting hundreds of millions of people who suddenly find their antibody defenses outflanked. Even during the Spanish flu pandemic, the initial wave of the disease was relatively mild and the second wave was highly lethal.

In 1957 there was an Asian flu pandemic that infected some 45 million Americans and killed 70,000 of them. Eleven years later, lasting from 1968 to 1969, the Hong Kong pandemic afflicted 50 million Americans and caused 33,000 deaths, costing approximately $3.9 billion. In 1976 about 500 soldiers became infected with swine flu over a period of a few weeks. However, by the end of the month investigators found that the the virus had "mysteriously disappeared" and there were no more signs of swine flu anywhere on the post. There were isolated cases around the U.S. but those cases were supposedly to individuals who caught the virus from pigs.

Medical researchers worldwide remain vigilant knowing that the swine flu virus might again mutate into something as deadly as the Spanish flu. They are carefully watching the latest 2009 outbreak of swine flu and making contingency plans for a possible global pandemic.

Worldwide Pandemics

The following are epidemics which spread across several continents.

• 165 – 180: Antonine Plague, perhaps smallpox
• 541: the Plague of Justinian
• 1300s: the Black Death
• 1501 – 1587: typhus
• 1732 – 1733: influenza
• 1775 – 1776: influenza
• 1816 – 1826: cholera
• 1829 – 1851: cholera
• 1847 – 1848: influenza
• 1852 – 1860: cholera
• 1855 – 1950s: bubonic plague: Third Pandemic
• 1857 – 1859: influenza
• 1863 – 1875: cholera
• 1889 – 1892: influenza
• 1899 – 1923: cholera
• 1918 – 1920: avian flu: Spanish flu: more people were hospitalized in World War I from this epidemic than wounds. Estimates of the dead range from 20 to 100 million worldwide
• 1960s: cholera called El Tor
• 1980s – present: HIV
