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.

- Weekly Roundup - Swine Flu Preparations Edition It sounds like swine flu could make a real comeback this fall. While this doesn't necessarily pertain to finances, it could certainly affect your personal finances if you have to miss work, or pay costly medical bills. I saw the doctor last week for a nasty case of bronchitis and......
- An in-depth look at H1N1 flu An in-depth look at H1N1 flu Since the H1N1 flu was first identified in the spring of 2009, restaurants and small businesses around the world have sought to minimize the risks of the flu for their customers and their employees. The World Health Organization has declared a pandemic, and......
- 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......
It will most likely infect 30-40% of the U.S.
population, or about 100 million people, according to
flu expert Ira Longini, from the University of
Washington’s School of Public Health.
Initial supplies of the swine flu vaccine, which will
be available sometime between mid-September to late
October 2009, are expected to be very limited — barely
enough to inoculate the 160 million people who are at
high risk of becoming infected. An even bigger concern
is whether the fast-tracked vaccine is safe and
effective — since it’s being rushed to market without
the appropriate testing and safety evaluations.
There is a growing suspicion in the general population
and among certain members of the medical community,
including Dr. Joseph Mercola, the publisher of a
popular self-titled natural health newsletter, that
being exposed to this new swine flu vaccine might prove
to be more dangerous than the swine flu itself.
A new book, “The One-Minute Cure: The Secret to
Healing Virtually All Diseases,” offers compelling
evidence that the swine flu virus can be rendered
powerless in the body when one self-administers a
natural oxygenating substance. Madison Cavanaugh, the
book’s author, states that public fear is incorrectly
placed on the swine influenza virus itself. “Microbes,
germs, harmful bacteria and viruses, such as the swine
influenza virus, do not cause disease in and of
themselves,” Cavanaugh states.
“They do seek their natural habitat — such as an
oxygen-deficient body — rather than being the CAUSE of
the disease. It’s no different from the way mosquitoes
seek out stagnant water, but do not cause the pool to
become stagnant.”
Cavanaugh’s assertion is consistent with the findings
of Dr. Rudolf Virchow (1821 – 1902), also called the
“Father of Pathology.”
It is also supported by Louis Pasteur, the notable
19th century French chemist and microbiologist best
known for his remarkable breakthroughs in the causes
and prevention of disease, who recanted his germ theory
of disease at his deathbed, stating, “The microbe is
nothing. The terrain is everything.”
The terrain of which Pasteur spoke refers to an
oxygenated environment in the human body, which makes
for a strong immune system. A weakened or suppressed
state of the immune system only occurs when the human
body lacks oxygen, thereby allowing viruses, such as
the swine influenza virus, to breed.
It therefore stands to reason that the swine flu
virus does not CAUSE disease, but rather seeks out an
environment where it can thrive best — and that is in
oxygen-deprived bodies.
“A sufficiently oxygenated body is uninhabitable by
disease,” Cavanaugh states, and viruses can neither
survive nor thrive in it. Therefore, the best defense
against microbes, germs, harmful bacteria and viruses,
such as the swine flu virus, is to keep the body
oxygenated.”
Cavanaugh’s book, “The One-Minute Cure,” discusses
the therapeutic use of the only natural substance which
stimulates the movement of oxygen atoms from the
bloodstream to the cells to a dramatically greater
degree than is usually reached by other means.
The natural remedy can be self-administered at home
in less than a minute, and costs only 1-1/2 cents a day
to use.

- Fight the flab to reduce swine flu risks? According to today’s report by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control there have been 136,432 worldwide reported cases of influenza A (H1N1) resulting in 765 deaths. To put things in perspective only 1 in 178 people, or 0.56% who contract swine flu globally have died from it.......
- 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).......
- Factory farming is key to swine flu epidemic In a previous post, we noted the recently published research of Yoshihiro Kawaoka, the eminent Japanse virologist, in which he recorded the fact that he had infected miniature pigs with H1N1 swine flu, and they were asymptomatic, though readily infected. He also pointed out that other mammals (and apparently humans)......
The truth is that some people *do* seem to be a lot less susceptible to swine flu. People over 50 years of age appear to fall into this category, and it is thought that the fact that an H1N1 swine flu strain was in circulation prior to 1957 (the year the Asian Flu pandemic dropped swine flu off the map) might have something to do with that. Older people may have antibodies to the older strain of swine flu, and this may be protecting them to some degree.
But for the rest of us there is no such protection. Moreover, if you have children, they seem to be at particular risk from the new swine flu strain. The average age of hospitalized swine flu sufferers is somewhere in the mid teens.
If you are a parent, the good news in all of this is that your children will receive first priority when the vaccine becomes available. They will likely have the option of receiving 2 doses of the swine flu shot, the second administered about 3 weeks after the first to raise sufficient antibodies to fight off an infection.
The not so good news? Vaccine companies have found that they can grow only about one third as much swine flu as they can seasonal flu using the technology at hand. This means that swine flu vaccine will be in short supply for 2009, so the only people who will be able to get their hands on it will be those for whom swine flu represents a higher risk of serious complications.
Unless you are diabetic, suffer from high blood pressure, a heart condition, asthma, or another type of respiratory problem, you may have to forgo protection from a swine flu shot until some time in 2010.
To find out more about this issue, I strongly recommend getting a copy of the definitive title on this subject: “Survive Pandemic Flu: Understand and Protect Against Novel Strains Of Influenza”. You can find out more about the book on this page:

Unless you feel convinced that you are immune to swine flu, this is one book you will want to have read by the time the virus appears at your front door.
