preventing the flu virus spreading

[dream]

Hello everyone. It is my opinion that there is lots of things we can all do to prevent colds and flu from spreading, such as washing our hands after visiting the toilet. Covering our mouths, when sneezing, and keeping kitchen work places clean.
Dont get me wrong, i am to blame as much as anyone else, i am not perfect, i have sneezed without covering my mouth, not washed my hands when i should have. However if we all,( me as well), gave a little more time to these basic things, perhaps it would stop the spread of colds and flu.

Vitamin c is also quite effective to boost the immune system, take 1000mg three times a day, for three days only.

Hello...Welcome to FV..I agree with all you have said..My whole family other then myself has been sick with the Flu for over a week now..I have been disinfecting the bathroom like crazy hoping to eliminate some of these germs.. also telling them to wash their hands several times a day..I need to get more Vitamin C and start taking it on a regular basis..I also purchased a book about the Bird flu and the key factor is to taking high doses of Vitamin C to boost your immune system and that supposably it's the most effective for beating your odds at surviving..

"The 'experts' in this disease are either unbelievably stupid or have their heads up the rear of the drug industry." --Dr. Robert F. Cathcart III, M.D.

Product Description
A fire is smoldering in Southeast Asia. A fire, metaphorically speaking, that will soon sweep across our oceans and all corners of our continents, leaving little but death and destruction behind. The worst-case estimates are staggering and unfathomable: 100 million to 360 million souls lost; 1.9 million in America alone. And perhaps most disturbing, and sickening, of all: There's an inexpensive, easily accesible cure that could stop this pandemic dead in its tracks, were it not for the government and Big Pharma greed supressing the truth about this super nutrient's value. Here, in this alarming investigation, you'll find the truth. The facts. Knowledge shared from Nobel Prize-winning chemists and other top scientific minds. Knowledge which, ultimately, may mean the difference between living and succumbing to the worst influenza outbreak we've seen in nearly a hundred years.

A review...April 28,2006
As a medical research scientist, I can say beyond a doubt that a flu pandemic is brewing that may change modern civilization in ways that will go beyond our wildest imagination soon. Physicians are observing the creation of a super strain of the avian influenza virus, H5N1, so-called bird flu, that has the potential to kill millions of men, women, and children in every nation. According to the World Health Organization, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a recipe for disaster is clearly in the early genetic-mixing stage. We stand on the abyss of a global wildfire event that will start with the flick of a "viral" matchstick, burn everything in its path, leaving civil disorder and misery in its aftermath on an unprecedented-scale. But what can we do other than prepare ourselves for the inevitable death of our society as we know it? Other than prudent safety precautions, we can also boost our immune systems psychologically against the true number one killer: s-t-r-e-s-s.

Just look at what happened to millions of people impacted by natural disasters in the past year alone from earthquakes, hurricanes, and tsunamis worldwide: They are suffering from PTSD--Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Guess what stress does to your ability to fight bacterial and viral infections? Do you know that when a pandemic strikes within 30-days 100% of the population will be exposed to the virus, but that only 50% will get ill? Did you know that a pandemic comes in 3 phases with the second being the most deadly? Did you know that the most susceptible age group when the virus "hits" is not the young or the old, but the tender-age group 20 to 30? In plain terms, this book will give you the rest of the story; how nature ensures the "survival of the smartest!" Indeed information is power and it will make the difference between life and death in the coming pandemics!
