Surviving Flu - Part 2

The Good News And Bad News Of Avian Flu

Well, it’s flu season again. Only this time, we hear everyone talking about avian flu…the Super flu which is expected to wreck havoc across our land in the not so distant months. So what is avian flu? Avian flu is bird flu. Yes, you read that right, “Avian flu is bird flu.” And why might that be such bad news? If you pursue the news much, you will read that the deadliest disease in history is widely regarded as the Spanish Flu epidemic which killed 40 million people in just months. Scientists now believe the epidemic was an avian flu pandemic. In other words, the virus came from birds – it is believed – and a virus similar to this one -called the “H5N1″ (a form of avian flu virus). Its origins? Most scientists agree it originated in Asia, as this one. Flu comes every season. It comes in one of two forms, Type A or Type B influenza. Type A is the more potent of these kinds of flu, and avian flu is Type A. These strains kill. The current avian flu bug is infecting and spreading throughout the poultry industry in Asia. Why so often in Asia? Simply [...]

Flu Vaccine Saves Lives

The 2010/11 flu season is already underway and health experts agree that getting a flu vaccine is the best way to prevent the spread of the flu virus. And with recently expanded vaccination guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), even more people are being urged to schedule an annual flu vaccine shot. The new guidelines recommend a flu shot for everyone ages six months and older. The newly expanded guidelines help eliminate confusion about who should get a flu vaccine shot. For FFF Enterprises, the national largest and most trusted distributor of flu vaccine, getting this message out has become a top priority. FFF Enterprises, located in Temecula, Calif., has made a mission out of “helping healthcare care,” which includes protecting people from the deadly complications associated with the flu. Even though flu awareness is high this year following the media blitz of the H1N1 pandemic, FFF says increasing flu vaccine compliance remains a challenge, since every year many people still buy into common flu vaccine myths. Frequently cited reasons for avoiding the flu vaccine shot include the belief that you can catch the flu from the vaccine, or that if you were vaccinated last year [...]

Protect yourself from Cold and Flu

Get a Flu shot every year. If you are experiencing any food allergies, don’t get a flu shot because flu shots have different reactions to different people. It makes you ill if you get the flu shots taken when you are allergic to some foods. Wash your hands thoroughly before and after eating, and also when you sneeze, cough etc. This prevents the spreading of flu causing germs and avoids you getting ill. Make sure that you wash your hands with hot water and soap. Take foods that are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. These will elevate your immune system so that you are less prone cold and flu and if you get sick also you will be able to recover very soon. It is very important to keep your body hydrated. Drink plenty of water in a day. Minimum of 8 to 10 glasses of water is must. Prefer boiled water than cold one. Echinacea is a very good immune booster that you can try if you are not allergic to it.

Is the bird flu vaccine like a regular flu shot?

The bird flu vaccine is a completely different vaccine than the standard flu shot. This bird flu vaccine will only protect against the bird flu and not any other strains of flu. There is not even a real bird flu vaccine available that we the public are able to get yet. It will be some time before we can get a bird flu vaccine. The only known bird flu vaccine is still in the experimental stages and they do not even know yet how effective it will be, it may not work at all. We hear about the bird flu every day and about how many people it is going to kill throughout the world but to keep things in perspective it is important that you realize that very few people have actually caught the bird flu and even fewer have actually died from it and this is all without the help of a bird flu vaccine. The main cases of those who have gotten this terrible bird flu are cases in which the people themselves were in contact with birds. Bird flu doe snot seem to be spreading from person to person at all so far so there is [...]
