CBS Reports :


This link provides a CBS investigative report on swine flu statistics. According to their findings, the swine flu has been dramatically over-estimated. In fact, in California, confirmatory labs suggested that  that less than 15% of the people assumed to have swine flu actually did. This is related to the fact that during a epidemic, confirmatory results were being bypassed as a waste of resources. Dr. Mercola's article provides a summary of the findings. 

Excerpt:
"If you've been diagnosed "probable" or "presumed" 2009 H1N1 or "swine flu" in recent months, you may be surprised to know this: odds are you didn't have H1N1 flu. In fact, you probably didn't have flu at all."

Reisa Mehlman

Though unable to leap tall buildings in a single bound, Reisa is able to traverse seemingly impossible heights step by step with the magical leap tossed in here and there for good measure.

Writing and creating words and music came at an early age, as the world presented so much fascinating information; she simply had to find a way to express it. Inevitably, this love of input and beauty would result in the chasing of butterflies and create almost unattainable choices. Nevertheless, it makes for an incredibly interesting road: bumpy and winding, but also directed, intuitive, and mystical.

A gifted performer and vocalist, Reisa attended Berklee College of Music, pursuing a double major in audio engineering and electronic music, after which, she became active in the entertainment business: writing and directing productions for stage, and cable television, and releasing a cd entitled Songs From the Future, which is available on CD Baby. Her writing has been published in numerous venues including Numb Magazine, ezine articles, and the Healing Springs Journal. Early in her first marriage, Motherhood found, wooed and grounded Reisa, teaching many important lessons and helping her to rediscover the little girl within.
