Swine Flu Tip – Don’t Be Your Own Petri Dish

There are a number of things you can do to reduce your chances of getting the flu. At the top of this list is maintaining a healthy digestive tract. While the flu is a respiratory infection, it always incubates in your digestive tract before moving to your lungs. A healthy GI tract can reduce the likelihood of viral replication as well as getting your immune system into gear to deal with the problem.

Don’t Forget Vitamin C for Swine Flu Prevention

German researchers have now demonstrated that a baseline amount of beta-interferon must be active in order for competent immune recognition and response to any viral invader, which of course includes the swine flu (H1N1). One of the many immune roles of vitamin C is to enhance the production of beta-interferon.

Brave Oxford Researchers Say Tamiflu is Not for Kids

Governments in the United States and Great Britain plan to use antiviral drugs as a first line of defense against the Swine Flu (along with experimental vaccines as they become available), especially in at risk groups such as young children. A new study by Oxford researchers published in the British Medical Journal questions the wisdom of this advice and points out that the risks are likely to outweigh the very slight benefits. (See full study and related commentary). It is worth noting that this is a conflict between government unelected bureaucrats in charge of “herd control” and doctors trying to evaluate the best interests of patients. Unfortunately, public health is never in the best interest of any one patient, and expects collateral damage. And what if that collateral damage is your child?

Fatal Cases of Swine Flu

The emerging picture of the new swine flu is one that is quite capable of infecting any person of any age, and may be especially problematic for pregnant women, women who have recently given birth, and overweight people. This data comes from the first collection of epidemiological data regarding who has died from severe H1N1 swine flu.

Can Vitamin D Help Prevent H1N1 Swine Flu from Spreading?

It seems simple enough to understand. A well person contracts swine flu from a sick person, who, once sick, passes it along to another. In the case of H1N1 swine flu, most of the population is not familiar with the virus, thus it has the potential to readily spread from sick to well. Sick people are supposed to quarantine themselves to prevent transmission. Everyone else is supposed to get a vaccine. One small problem – what if the sick people aren’t really the ones spreading the infection? At first glance that sounds preposterous. A second look may cause you to pause and ponder.

Young People at Risk for Severe H1N1 Swine Flu

Health officials sounded alarm bells over the weekend as it has become clear that the H1N1 swine flu can attack the lower lungs causing viral pneumonia. Deterioration can be unusually rapid, starting at only 3-5 days into the illness and progressing to life-threatening within 24 hours. The virus can trigger clots in the lungs, meaning that standard ventilator care for pneumonia may not work.
