Swine Flu

I'm not sure why I've chosen to write my very first ever blog post about Swine Flu. Perhaps because one of my biggest pet peeves is the way the media manipulates our minds and in so many ways creates the news rather than merely reporting it, in this case setting the stage for overreaction and unnecessary panic. (And as I think ahead to my next post which I've already partially crafted in my mind, I'm realizing I should have called this blog "Pet Peeves" because I have a feeling that will be the underlying topic of many of my posts...)

Anyway, I'm not going to make any commentary myself on the Swine Flu panic. I am, however, going to direct your attention to another blog that I read frequently, that of natural and alternative health doctor Jon Barron. He wrote a great post this past weekend regarding what we really need to be worried about (and not), and how to protect ourselves. Read it here.
