Flu vaccinations do not protect you from getting the flu. When you catch the flu, vaccinations should, and in most cases, reduce the severity of the flu. When you are injected with the virus, your body builds its own immunity to that virus. H1N1 Swine Flu vaccine is no different.
Virus strains can become resistant to antiviral drugs – similar to other diseases. The H1N1 Swine flu virus strain is resistant to older antiviral drugs, such as amantadine and rimantadine. Health officials tell us that Tamiflu (oseltamivir) works well against the H1N1 Swine flu virus. Tamiflu and Relenza (zanamivir) are two effective vaccines for the H1N1 Swine flu. But, you have to take the vaccine before you contract the flu. The big unknown is how long these antiviral vaccines will remain effective in your system.
There are some actions that you can take on your own without your doctor’s advice. The H1N1 Swine flu is spread through the air and on contact. The most obvious preventive actions are to wash your hands often and wear a mask. Those two actions are very effective. However, our culture doesn’t wear face masks as other cultures do, to keep from spreading a disease, or to keep from catching a disease. Washing our hands works well when in contact with others, but often we forget to do that after answering a phone or opening a door. It still amazes me the number of people using the restroom who don’t wash their hands – but, that’s another story.
So, what else can you do besides washing your hands? Build up your immune system and keep it strong and robust. Several articles that I’ve read recently indicate that N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) might be helpful in maintaining your health during this or any flu season. NAC is an amino acid coupled with a protein component. It is a precursor to glutathione. Every cell in you body can synthesize glutathione from three different amino acids, with L-cysteine being one of them.
Glutathione is a major weapon in your body’s arsenal for better health. It is an antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals. It builds your immune system. It is also a mucolytic agent, meaning it breaks down or thins out lung-clogging mucous resulting from various respiratory diseases. Your liver is critical for glutathione synthesis. NAC has been shown to help in the detoxification process for liver and lung disorders.
Some Italian studies have shown that there is statistical evidence that NAC has been effective in reducing the severity of flu-like symptoms. In some cases it appears that NAC was able to reduce the likelihood of even catching the flu.
Other herbs and supplements that are believed to be effective in the treatment or prevention of flu-like symptoms are: vitamin D, elderberry, licorice root, ginseng, whey protein and possibly vitamin C, Echinacea and zinc. There is a concern that many of these herbs and supplements work by improving your immune system. There is some speculation that any kind of immune-stimulants might make flu symptoms worse, or even worse, result in death. Why? Because it is believed that the H1N1 Swine flu virus has been more deadly to those with healthy immune systems. My personal belief is that I would rather have healthy a robust immune system to ward off any flu virus, or any other contagion that I might encounter.

Welcome back, keep updated with: h1n1 feed. Thanks again for visiting! Remember to WASH your hands.
- Flu Season is Now Open Approximately 36,000 people in the United States die from influenza every year, and more than more than 200,000 have to be admitted to the hospital because of this disease, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The flu is no joke! I’ve had it, complete with the coughing......
- Tamiflu should be saved for special cases, CDC warns Currently, only two anti-virals are known to be effective against H1N1 pandemic swine flu: Tamiflu (oseltamivir) and Relenza (zanamivir). If not used sparingly, these too could become ineffective, the CDC has warned. Both drugs can be used to prevent viral infection under the right circumstances, though the protocol currently recommended......
- Have U.S. swine flu infections reached 1 million cases? A story by AP reporter Michael Stobbe says one U.S. official has estimated that more than one million Americans may have become infected with the novel H1N1 swine flu at this point. Stobbe attributes the estimate to Lyn Finelli, an official with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).......
While other news reports are receiving more attention than the H1N1 (swine flu) virus this summer, Government health officials are fearful that the H1N1 might make a comeback during the fall flu season. Past experience has demonstrated that pandemics like the swine flu virus usually come in waves, and that the second wave could be even more dangerous and severe as compared to the first time.
Adaptive Marketing in Norwalk, Connecticut, a company that has created programs that facilitate consumers in saving on products that are associated with healthcare and various other needs as well, is sharing the information that they have ascertained about the steps that are crucial to decrease the spread of germs in the office. Taking these primary precautions could help fight the spread of maladies like the swine flu.
It is likely that the H1N1 virus is transferred in ways that are similar to other flu viruses like the seasonal flu. Therefore, it is estimated that the virus spreads by coughing or sneezing. It is obvious therefore that the prime line of defense for each person at the workplace is to attempt to keep their germs to themselves. All employees should cover their nose and mouth and sneeze or cough into a tissue paper at all times, irrespective of whether they are ill or not. Employees should wash their hands regularly or use an alcohol-based sanitizer if water and soap are inaccessible.
Since germs can survive on work furniture, office workers should avoid touching their eyes, nose and mouth all day. It is a nice idea to display signs prompting workers and reminding them about the need to take precautions to ensure that the germs are not spread in work surroundings such as the offices of Adaptive Marketing. Disinfecting areas, including telephone sets, door handles, chairs and tables should also help in forestalling the spread of germs.
Another precaution that many people are taking these days is face masks that are being worn over the nose and the mouth. However there is debate about whether these medical facial masks are effective in protecting against the swine flu virus or whether marketing gimmicks have made these products popular. The experts unanimously agree that a full-faced mask with a high-efficiency particle air filter is what is required to completely protect against fine particle viruses like the H1N1 virus. On the other hand, a medical mask may just provide the level of protection that you need especially when associate workers are falling ill around you.
One of the better ways to avert the transfer of germs at the workplace is to counsel associates about the importance of staying home when they experience any flu-like symptoms. Adaptive Marketing believes that employers should make it unobjectionable for employees not to come to the office when they are sick and even encourage the practice.
Clearly, it is unachievable to preserve surroundings that are totally germ-free at the office. But while the H1N1 pandemic seems to be diminishing in the United States, the warning of its recurrence is not a rumor that has been spread to scare people. As the fall season approaches, Adaptive Marketing will be increasing its efforts to prohibit the spread of germs in the workplace, in an attempt to hold back the spread of the sickness before it spreads across many people.
