Prevent Swine Flu - Good Advice
>
> The only portals of entry are the nostrils and mouth/throat.
> In a global epidemic of this nature, it's almost impossible to
> avoid coming into contact with H1N1 in spite of all precautions.
>
> While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of
> H1N1 infection, in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation
> of symptoms and development of secondary infections, some very
> simple steps can be practiced
>
> 1. Gargle twice a day with warm salt water or Listerine.
> *H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the
> throat/nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic
> symptoms. Simple gargling prevents proliferation. In a way,
> gargling with salt water has the same effect on a healthy
> individual that Tamiflu has on an infected one. Don't under
> estimate this simple, inexpensive, and powerful preventative
> method.
>
> 2. Blow the nose hard once a day and swab both nostrils with
> cotton buds dipped in warm salt water. This is very effective
> in bringing down viral population.
>
> 3. Boost your natural immunity with foods that are rich in
> Vitamins C and D. If you have to supplement with Vitamin C
> tablets, make sure that it also has Zinc to boost absorption.
>
> 4. Drink as much of warm liquids (tea, coffee, etc) as you
> can. Drinking warm liquids has the same effect as gargling,
> but in the reverse direction. They wash off proliferating
> viruses from the throat into the stomach where they cannot
> survive, proliferate or do any harm.
