That Ends the Doctors` Report. Here`s More General Information on
Homeopathy

Classic homeopathy is a healing methodology that is based on the wisdom of
treating a specific individual and their specific symptoms (including
body, mind, emotions, and environment), as opposed to the allopathic model
which bases treatment on agreed upon disease symptoms and averages.

It is also important to note that homeopathy is primarily an energetic and
vibrational medicine. Simplistically speaking, _homeopathic remedies_
(http://www.naturalnews.com/homeopathic_remedies.html) are created by diluting a
physical substance into a distilled water and alcohol and creating a
vibrational or energetic substance by shaking it rapidly with machinery. This
is how a nosode is created. Therefore, even a toxic physical substance
prepared in a nosode will not retain any toxicity that will be transferred into
the body.

And the nosode is taken orally, thereby not bypassing the initial stage of
the _immune system_ (http://www.naturalnews.com/immune_system.html) .
Inoculations do bypass this important first phase of the immune system by
ignoring the mucous membranes in the mouth and throat and going directly into the
bloodstream. Homeopathic remedies are applied by a counterintuitive
method. A homeopathic doctor is skilled in matching the individual`s current
symptom picture with exact remedies that produce those exact same symptoms.
This is actual immunization. Keep in mind when an individual`s symptoms
change, new homeopathic remedies are prescribed to replace the previous
homeopathic recommendations. This process continues until there are no more
symptoms.

However, when there is an epidemic or _pandemic_ disease, a homeopathic doctor can use the `common`
symptoms widely reported by the public as an individual body and prescribe
homeopathic remedies accordingly.

Homeopathy and the 1918 Flu

There was
and is a strong suspicion that mandated vaccinations used on troops
actually created the initial infections for this pandemic. It`s recorded that many
died after being vaccinated, while most who did not receive vaccinations
survived.

Those factors did not affect or alter what homeopaths managed to put
together during this pandemic. Understanding symptoms which have been closely
scrutinized and categorized are the determining factors for administering
classic homeopathic remedies, including the follow up remedies for complete
recovery as symptoms change.

Undisclosed to the public at large, despite the strange and unusually
virulent flu strain resulting in the "White Plague", the cure rate of
homeopathy during the 1918 so called _Spanish Flu_

Swine Flu – Causes and Precautions

WHAT IS SWINEFLU

Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza viruses (H1N1 subtype) that causes regular outbreaks in pigs. People do not normally get swine flu, but human infections can and do happen.

SIGNS & SYMPTOMS

qThe symptoms of swine flu in people are similar to the symptoms of regular human flu and include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue. Some people have reported diarrhoea and vomiting associated with swine flu.

qIn the past, severe illness (pneumonia and respiratory failure) and deaths have been reported with swine flu infection in people.

qLike seasonal flu, swine flu may cause a worsening of underlying chronic medical conditions.

The symptoms of swine flu in people are similar to the symptoms of seasonal flu in humans and may include

vFever (greater than 100°F or 37.8°C)

vSore throat

vCough

vStuffy nose

vChills

vHeadache and body aches

vFatigue

HOW DOES IT SPREAD

Spread of this particular strain of swine influenza A (H1N1) virus is thought to be happening in the same way that seasonal flu spreads. Flu viruses are spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing of people with influenza. Sometimes people may become infected by touching something with flu viruses on it and then touching their mouth or nose.

HOW CAN SOMEONE WITH THE FLU INFECT SOMEONE ELSE ?

Infected people may be able to infect others beginning 1 day before symptoms develop and up to 7 or more days after becoming sick. That means that you may be able to pass on the flu to someone else before you know you are sick, as well as while you are sick.

WHO guidelines on Swine Flu - What can I do?

What can I do to protect myself from catching influenza A(H1N1)?

ØThe main route of transmission of the new influenza A(H1N1) virus seems to be similar to seasonal influenza, via droplets that are expelled by speaking, sneezing or coughing.

ØYou can prevent getting infected by avoiding close contact with people who show influenza-like symptoms (trying to maintain a distance of about 1 meter if possible) and taking the following measures:

ØAvoid touching your mouth and nose;

ØClean hands thoroughly with soap and water, or cleanse them with an alcohol-based hand rub on a regular basis (especially if touching the mouth and nose, or surfaces that are potentially contaminated);

ØAvoid close contact with people who might be ill;

ØReduce the time spent in crowded settings if possible;

ØImprove airflow in your living space by opening windows;

ØPractice good health habits including adequate sleep, eating nutritious food, and keeping physically active

What about using a mask? What does WHO recommend?

ØIf you are not sick you do not have to wear a mask.

ØIf you are caring for a sick person, you can wear a mask when you are in close contact with the ill person and dispose of it immediately after contact, and cleanse your hands thoroughly afterwards.

ØA person should seek medical care if they experience shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, or if a fever continues more than three days. For parents with a young child who is ill, seek medical care if a child has fast or labored breathing, continuing fever or convulsions (seizures).

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO KEEP FROM SPREADING THE VIRUS THROUGH COUGHING OR SNEEZING ?

1.If you are sick, limit your contact with other people as much as possible.

2.Do not go to work, stay at home or in your hotel room.

Cover your mouth and nose with a mask when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent those around you from getting sick.

3.Put your used tissue in the waste basket. Cover your cough or sneeze if you do not have a mask.

4.Then, clean your hands, and do so every time you cough or sneeze.

WHAT DRUGS ARE AVAILABLE FOR TREATMENT ?

Antiviral drugs for seasonal influenza are available in some countries and effectively prevent and treat the illness.

There are two classes of such medicines,

1) Adamantanes (amantadine and remantadine), and

2) Inhibitors of influenza neuraminidase (oseltamiviror i.e Tamiflu and zanamivir).

NOTE – Individuals should not buy medicines to prevent or fight this new influenza without a prescription, and they should not buy anti-viral over the Internet.

COMMON QUERRIES

Should I go to work if I have the flu but am feeling OK?

No. Whether you have influenza A(H1N1) or a seasonal influenza, you should stay home and away from work through the duration of your symptoms. This is a precaution that can protect your work colleagues and others.

Can I travel?

If you are feeling unwell or have symptoms of influenza, you should not travel. If you have any doubts about your health, you should check with your health care provider.

Preventive Measure

Hand Hygiene is one of the most important activity and it helps arrest the infection. Hence high traffic zones like schools, offices, malls, multiplexes…should ideally provide good hand hygiene facilities and help arrest the infection.

HEALTH TIPS RECAP

Ø Avoid close contact With sick people. Keep safe distance

Ø Stay home when you are sick If possible, stay home from work, school, and errands

Ø Cover your mouth and nose Cover mouth and nose with tissue when coughing or sneezing

Ø Clean your hands Frequent hand washing will protect you from germs

Ø Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth germs often spread when a person touches something that is Contaminated and then touches his or her eyes, nose or mouth

Ø Seek immediate medical attention if you develop influenza-like symptoms. (High Fever, body pain, coughing and red nose)

Staff Report Published: July 05, 2009, 08:53

Sharjah: Drinking a decoction made of fennel seeds soaked in warm water first thing in the morning could prevent you from catching swine flu says a study published in a Chinese medical research magazine. According to report published in Al Khaleej a local Arabic daily, the study has resulted in an increase of fennel seeds sales by 50 per cent in some Asian countries. The report read that similar increase in sales was also visible in countries like Saudi Arabia and Egypt. The fennel seed warm drink is being distributed to people who are making pilgrimage to the holy cities of Makkah and Madinah.

==================
Here are some easy steps you can take to tackle a flu virus of any kind, including swine flu. It is not necessary to follow all the steps at once. You can pick and choose a combination of remedies that suit you best. However, if you are already suffering from flu, these measures can help only up to an extent. And, if you have been infected by H1N1, visiting a hospital and staying in solitary confinement is a must.

1. Have five duly washed leaves of Tulsi (known as Basil in English; medicinal name Ocimum sanctum) everyday in the morning. Tulsi has a large number of therapeutic properties. It keeps throat and lungs clear and helps in infections by way of strengthening your immunity.

2. Giloi (medicinal name Tinospora cordifolia) is a commonly available plant in many areas. Take a one-foot long branch of giloi, add five to six leaves of Tulsi and boil in water for 15-20 minutes or long enough to allow the water to extract its properties. Add black pepper and sendha (salt used during religious fasts), rock or black salt, or Misri (crystalised sugar like lumps to make it sweet) according to taste. Let it cool a bit and drink this kadha (concoction) while still warm. It will work wonders for your immunity. If giloi plant is not available, get processed giloi powder from Hamdard or others, and concoct a similar drink once a day.

3. A small piece of camphor (kapoor) approximately the size of a tablet should be taken once or twice a month. It can be swallowed with water by adults while children can take it along with mashed potatoes or banana because they will find it difficult to have it without any aides. Please remember camphor is not to be taken everyday, but only once each season, or once a month.

4. Those who can take garlic, must have two pods of raw garlic first thing in the morning. To be swallowed daily with lukewarm water. Garlic too strengthens immunity like the earlier measures mentioned.

5. Those not allergic to milk, must take a glass of hot or lukewarm milk every night with a small measure of haldi (turmeric).

6. Aloe vera (gwarpatha) too is a commonly available plant. Its thick and long, cactus-like leaves have an odourless gel. A teaspoon gel taken with water daily can work wonders for not only your skin and joint pains, but also boost immunity.

7. Take homeopathic medicines — Pyrogenium 200 and Inflenzium 200 in particular — five tablets three times a day, or two-three drops three times a day. While these are not specifically targeted at H1N1 either, these work well as preventive against common flu virus.

8. Do Pranayam daily (preferably under guidance if you are already not initiated into it) and go for morning jog/walk regularly to keep your throat and lungs in good condition and body in fine fettle. Even in small measures, it will work wonders for your body’s resistance against all such diseases which attack the nose, throat and lungs, besides keeping you fit.

9. Have citrus fruits, particularly Vitamin C rich Amla (Indian gooseberry) juice. Since fresh Amla is not yet available in the market (not for another three to four months), it is not a bad idea to buy packaged Amla juice which is commonly available nowadays.

10. Last but not the least, wash your hands frequently every day with soap and warm water for 15-20 seconds; especially before meals, or each time after touching a surface that you suspect could be contaminated with flu virus such as a door handle or a knob/handle, especially if you have returned from a public place or used public transport. Alcohol-based hand cleaners should be kept handy at all times and used until you can get soap and warm water.
