So the swine flu is making its rounds in BC right now and tons of people are getting it.

I can only help but wonder if ill get it soon, seeing as I spend 5-6 days a week hanging onto the same steel grips as a few hundred other people.

Im 2 weeks into a 16 week test/dbol cycle and im curious as to what I should do if I get it?

Business as usual? or what?

i read somewhere to take a multivitamin daily, 3mg melatonin everynight and gh will help support your immune system to protect you from the swine flu

I stoped taking melatonine since I could not sleep without it anymore & felt kinda depressed. 2 month without it and my mood is better now. Less tired.

I was reading about these precautions that can be taken;

wash your hands regularly (very important to wash your hands before you leave the gym)

gargle with warm salt water twice a day

blow your nose and then rinse the inside of your nose, twice a day

if you get sick do not stop the cycle. it will make your CNS crash even more.. just continue with the cycle and stop the gym and get rest until you are better.. also up the vitamins of course

I had it back in July. Basically from the
time I got off the plane coming back from
vegas. Felt crappy for an entire month.

First time in my life I've ever had the
flu of any kind and I get the f'n swine flu...

FYI: The combo of aspirin + Diphenhydramine
does wonders against H1N1 for some reason.

2000-3000iu of vit D + 2x doses of vit B and C
will help with the immune systme

As to the OP, if moneys tight, go off.
If you can afford it, stay on.

My goal would be to avoid it til the vaccine is ready, but if EVERYONE starts getting it there isnt much you can do. I take my "optimen" 3 times a day so vitamins are good... if i get it ill stay on coarse and skip the gym til it clears up.

I'm planning on avoiding the vaccine. I don't think there's a huge advantage to taking it and I think there may be more potential health risks taking it versus not taking it.

I work in a huge office and someone there got it. My mom is an ER nurse and there are a few people dropping in here and there with swine flu. They're just sending them home and recommending that they don't leave for a week or so. It doesn't seem too bad unless you have an underlying illness that can become exacerbated by the flu.

If I get any sort of flu, I'll just be lowering the dose. No need to mess up your body by suddenly dropping close to or all exogenous hormones. That'll spell disaster. I might look into getting some GH just in case I get sick too. I've heard good things and used it last year when I got sick. I staved flu and the symptoms didn't persist for more than a couple of days but it's hard to know if it was the GH or just my immune system..

I don't believe it's true that "tons of people" are getting swine flu in B.C. The BC Centre for Disease Control (http://www.bccdc.ca/resourcematerials/newsandalerts/healthalerts/H1N1FluVirusHumanSwineFlu.htm) reports that only 64 people have been hospitalized for it, but that there have been six deaths (as of Oct 6).

The flu is going around, it's true, the good old sickening common flu, the usual puking & shitting, then getting better & carrying on. Might be a good time to be on cycle or on GH since most think that means your immune system is jacked up, but it's a bad time to be on PCT or coming off cycle since the immune system gets weakened at this time until you naturally rebound.

Based on what I know, it's going to feel like a bad ass flue... not more. Would you stop if you got the regular flu??? I'd probably cruise... depending on the circumstances I guess

I cant remember the last time I had a flu.. i get colds, but not the flu.

They were saying on the news that the swine flu is the only flu in BC right now so if you have flu symptoms you likely have the swine and they arent hospitalizing people, they're just sending people home.

Almost everyone I talk to knows someone who's had it or has it. I expect a lot of people to get it....

Neither megadoses of vitamin C nor echinacea as effective preventatives have stood up under scientific scrutiny, but if it makes you feel better, go ahead.

GH boosts the immune system, however.

I got the swine flu right at the end of my run during hockey camp in september. IT ****ING SUCKS dude. Ive never felt like such shit in all my life. Taking beating after beating at practices and games for 2 weeks crippled my body and I lost about 15 lbs during the cycle.

Pray you dont get it dude. Seriously.

CanadianIron

12-10-2009, 10:21 PM

I had severe food poisoning 2 years into my bodybuilding and lost 35lbs in 2 weeks and literally didnt eat for 2 weeks... i have experience with getting hella sick...

My only concern is that this shit is around to stay and without a vaccine or actually getting it I dont know how you could avoid it forever...

vaccines dont do shit but make the virus mutate into a more resistant strain... swine is nothing new, its been around since the 70's. vaccines are also notorious for having other toxic shit in them the pharmaceutical companies dont disclose. i'll NEVER pump that shit into my body.

CanadianIron

Apparently you snort the swine vaccine... saw people doing it on the news last night...

I'd be getting the vaccine, think about it, if you have little kids in the house or older parents or grand parents you can get them sick and they could die. Or say you go meet somebody just before you start feeling the symptoms (i think you have already caught it a day or so before you feel symptoms) you can pass it on to them. If you have somebody at work that is on cancer meds or is immuno comprimised theres a very good chance they could die as well.

CanadianIron

Exactly, i know a couple pregnant women and I have a baby in my house, id get the vaccine....

From what I have been reading, you might actually have an advantage because you are "on".

Anabolic/androgenic steroids stimulate the prodcution of both red and white blood cells. Increase in white blood cell typically means that your body is fighting off a disease or an infection. The presence of an already altered white blood cell production can give your body a jump start in combating infection.

Also AAS increases the inflamatory response in your body. Inflammation is a protective attempt by the organism to remove the injurious stimuli as well as initiate the healing process for the tissue.

Gear is given to AIDS patients to combat muscle wasting and increase appetite. Many patients/doctors report a boost in immune system as a result of ASS.

Speaking as someone's who's injected all kinds
of unknown foreign shit into his body, I will
NEVER let anyone inject me with any flu vaccine.
As in 'from my cold dead hands' kind of never.

The internet is full of lies and good information too.
Take some time to research and educate yourself
before you get any vaccination.
Ask questions about the adjuvants used in them (aluminum, squalene).
Ask questions aboutother additives in them (mercury, formeldahide sp?)
Ask if there's foreign DNA in the vaccine (human, dog, caterpiller,etc).

p.s. I think i read that the flu has something like a 0.1% fatality rate.
