I think I had the swine flu at the beginning of the media frenzy last year, I say think as I have not visited a doctor in over 10 years. Google is my doctor, its actually quicker than waiting in the waiting rooms for an hour past your original appointment time. Atleast that's how it is in England.
It was pretty rough, the family friend that I think I contracted it off was placed on his own ward in hospital and was not allowed visitors. I didnt fancy that so just stayed home and sweated it out. It was the only time I have not gone into the office when I'm ill, and I almost contemplated phoning the doctor. I put it down to the fact that I had recently been eating a lot of junk food which is a change as I usually only eat fresh veg & meat. Anytime I go back to junk food for a few days and then try and go back to eating very little carbs I seem to contract a cold, flu or someother virus. I think it takes a while for the body to switch from sugar to fat and this may cause some drop in immune system. I'm also pretty sure that by avoiding high sugar carbs and processed junk in the first place that we can defend ourselves from a lot of illnesses like flu etc. Also Vitamin D is supposed to be better than any jab for staving off the flu!
