Is there any Swine flu cure at all?
I am so worried. There was a Swine flu case reported in my county today. I know that some people in Mexico have died from it already, but was it because of their limited health care or something? I am so scared! If someone goes to the doctor right when they notice the symptoms and take the correct vaccinations, does that mean they still have to die, or is there a cure? I am only 13 years old, but these things freak me out. I’m planning on calling the Swine flu hotline today to ask questions.
There’s already a drug being prescribed right now to combat Swine flu, it’s called TAMIFLU. However, the Center for Disease Control and Prevention of U.S.A. states that you cannot take this drug until you are already infected.
The big question right now is how to protect ourselves from this dreaded viral strain. For me, we just need to boost our immune system in order not to be infected.
The next question is how are we going to boost our immune system the natural way? We need to take vitamins and Natural antimicrobial agent food supplements. Visit http://tinyurl.com/allimax

WASHINGTON
- A never-before-seen strain of swine flu has turned killer in Mexico and is causing milder illness in the United States and elsewhere. While authorities say it’s not time to panic, they are taking steps to stem the spread and also urging people to pay close attention to the latest health warnings and take their own precautions.
"Individuals have a key role to play," Dr. Richard Besser, acting chief of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said Monday.
Here’s what you need to know:
Q: How do I protect myself and my family?
A: For now, take commonsense precautions. Cover your coughs and sneezes, with a tissue that you throw away or by sneezing into your elbow rather than your hand. Wash hands frequently; if soap and water aren’t available, hand gels can substitute. Stay home if you’re sick and keep children home from school if they are.
Q: How easy is it to catch this virus?
A: Scientists don’t yet know if it takes fairly close or prolonged contact with someone who’s sick, or if it’s more easily spread. But in general, flu viruses spread through uncovered coughs and sneezes or — and this is important — by touching your mouth or nose with unwashed hands. Flu viruses can live on surfaces for several hours, like a doorknob just touched by someone who sneezed into his hand.
Q: In Mexico , officials are handing out face masks. Do I need one?
A: The CDC says there’s not good evidence that masks really help outside of health care settings. It’s safer just to avoid close contact with someone who’s sick and avoid crowded gatherings in places where swine flu is known to be spreading. But if you can’t do that, CDC guidelines say it’s OK to consider a mask — just don’t let it substitute for good precautions.
Q: Is swine flu treatable?
A: Yes, with the flu drugs Tamiflu or Relenza, but not with two older flu medications.
Q: Is there enough?
A: Yes. The federal government has stockpiled enough of the drugs to treat 50 million people, and many states have additional stocks. As a precaution, the CDC has shipped a quarter of that supply to the states to keep on hand just in case the virus starts spreading more than it has so far.
Q: Should I take Tamiflu as a precaution if I’m not sick yet?
A: No. "What are you going to do with it, use it when you get a sniffle?" asks Dr. Marc Siegel of New York University Langone Medical Center and author of "Bird Flu: Everything you Need To Know About The Next Pandemic." Overusing antiviral drugs can help germs become resistant to them.
Q: How big is my risk?
A: For most people, very low. Outside of Mexico , so far clusters of illnesses seem related to Mexican travel. New York City ’s cluster, for instance, consists of students and family members at one school where some students came back ill from spring break in Mexico .
Q: Why are people dying in Mexico and not here?
A: That’s a mystery. First, understand that no one really knows just how many people in Mexico are dying of this flu strain, or how many have it. Only a fraction of the suspected deaths have been tested and confirmed as swine flu, and some initially suspected cases were caused by something else.
Q: Should I cancel my planned trip to Mexico ?
A: The U.S. did issue a travel advisory Monday discouraging nonessential travel there.
Q: What else is the U.S. , or anyone else, doing to try to stop this virus?
A: The U.S. is beginning limited screening of travelers from Mexico , so that the obviously sick can be sent for treatment. Other governments have issued their own travel warnings and restrictions. Mexico is taking the biggest steps, closings that limit most crowded gatherings. In the U.S. , communities with clusters of illness also may limit contact — New York closed the affected school for a few days, for example — so stay tuned to hear if your area
girl idk im trying to go to the doctor if i can go get a prevention vaccine or something its so creppy how you can get and it’s airborn thats brazzy:(
References :
look, im basically a 14 yr old, next month is my birthday, but they do not have to die, it is basically like the regular flu, but a bit more complicated, you could probaly get better if you do all the regular things for a regular flu

me, news
well since pple seem to be givin out their ages…
im 15 goin on 16 soon.
n well you dont got much to worry bout.
like they said, its like the flu but more complicated and it can kill you. i think the symptoms end up goin away even if you dont get a cure.
dont worry its not air born. as long as you dont kiss anyone thats got it or drink from the same cup/bottle as someone thats got it. n wash your hands you will most likely be fine.
i dont think theres a prevention vaccine. just dont worry to much about it.
my guess on why pple in mexico are diein is cuz they arent as sanitary as pple in the US. so yea..
long as you keep clean you shud be fine.

Yes. CDC recommends the use of oseltamivir or zanamivir for the treatment and/or prevention of infection with these swine influenza viruses. Antiviral drugs are prescription medicines (pills, liquid or an inhaler) that fight against the flu by keeping flu viruses from reproducing in your body. If you get sick, antiviral drugs can make your illness milder and make you feel better faster. They may also prevent serious flu complications. For treatment, antiviral drugs work best if started soon after getting sick (within 2 days of symptoms).
for what i know in australia they have already made medicine for it. Swine flu is just like normal flu only abit different. people in mexico dont have a cure for it i dont think

I understand, there has been a report here and I am like freaked out. But don’t freak yourself out or you’ll start to think you have symptoms and stress yourself out. So far, I have learned that the symptoms are much like the regular flu. On one website I was checking out, it said that you should prevent yourself by limiting like a lot of contact and washing your hands a lot. Also, try not to touch your face. As for your other question, no one in the U.S. has died, so I am thinking that the fact that people in Mexico died was because of health care. My advice is to ask a doctor or go to a trusted website and try to find out as much as you can. Sorry if this didn’t really help. I tried to look for info. but I couldn’t find a straight answer.

Yes, it’s called MMS, miracle mineral solution. It kills the malaria virus and it will kill any flu virus as well. The inventor put the instructions on how to make it on the Internet, fearing big Pharma would kill him (or the feds would imprison him) if he tried to sell it for profit. I’ve used it myself and yes, I got over the flu in 1 day. I own a wellness website (ioniczone) and sell a lot of products to help prevent the flu (ozone which kills bacteria and viruses) but MMS is really the only thing that "cures" it. TAMIFLU doesn’t cure swine flu by the way and it kills more than 1 out of every million users, same as the flu. Pneumonia is actually what kills, and the flu virus doesn’t cause pneumonia per se, the CDC says 30 things cause pneumonia, mostly bacteria, but not the flu virus. This whole flu scare is simply a tactic to force mass immunizations. Research "vaccine dangers" for more info on that subject.

okay…well im only doing this because every one is anooying me telling you that the only reason people have died in mexico was because mexico is supposedly "unsanitary". look iv liveed in mexico for about 4 years and yes there are thousands of more people than the united states so its beleiveable that it may be more polluted. but just as any othee people may have died from regular Flus or like the bird Flu was becuase they had weak immune systems or didnt have trhe proper care..your 13 so your immune system should be pretty strong.,.and no there ARENT ANY CURES FOR VIRUSES so get that out of your head ..
everyone is different and symptons may vary.
just relax, if you get it just get alot of rest and keep HYDRATED and you should be fine within a week or so. also it makes sense that more people have died from it in mexico because the virus originated from there from a substance found in swine, (pigs) just like more people died from the bird flu in china well duh? it all started there

This is a global thing, so you know everyone is doing their best to stop it. I’m just glad we have Barack Obama as our president and not Bush. Bush would probably get on a rocket ship and fly to Mars.
