H1N1 is a serious threat to our health and way of life. The best way to treat it influenza is to prevent it and employ healthy hygiene. Drugs have serious side effects and cannot be used by the entire population and should not be used for long periods of time.

In order to control an epidemic all types of treatment should be employed including prescription drugs (ACE, ARB's, TNF-alpha blockers, anti-viral and anti-bacterial) vitamins, mineral, antioxidant herbs, proper hygiene, air filtration, water filtration and the proper use of diet and nutritional supplements, especially the newly patented, FDA approved Silver Sol technology. Silver Sol destroys bacteria, viruses, and mold so it demonstrates broader spectrum of activity than any antibiotic or antiviral drug. It can be taken daily due the fact that it passes through the body unchanged, and can prevent viral infections, treat them and work synergistically with antibiotics to produce as much as a ten fold increase in activity against the bacteria that cause death in influenza.

Scientists have discovered that the H1N1 virus (swine flu) inflicts significantly more lung damage in animals than seasonal flu strains, much like the highly virulent H5N1 bird flu virus. Their research also showed that people born before the 1918 flu pandemic appear to have immunity to swine flu. Continue reading…
