Avian Flu: What You Need To Know Part I of II

A few months ago we brought you the first part of our two part series, Avian Flu: What You Need To Know. Since then the avian flu has spread to 11 new countries and infected 32 more humans, with 26 dying from the virus. Our government has partnered with nations all over the world to develop and implement an avian flu plan of attack. Agencies worldwide have mobilized task forces aimed at minimizing the spread of the virus and renowned researchers from the top of their fields are studying vaccine and treatment options for this potentially deadly virus. The world is preparing for a possible pandemic, but is this all necessary or a gross over reaction?

In this issue we will attempt to answer that question by explaining exactly what a pandemic is. We will also address avian flu treatment options, as well as how you can protect your loved ones from the avian flu. Should you wish to refresh your memory, here are a few links to the first part of our avian flu series:

What is the avian flu?
What is the current human health risk?
What are the symptoms of avian flu in humans?
Is it safe to eat poultry?

What is a pandemic?

A pandemic is a global disease outbreak. Three key conditions must be met for a pandemic to start:

A new influenza virus subtype must emerge for which there is little or no immunity.
It must infect humans and cause illness.
It must spread easily and sustainably (continue without interruption) among humans.

Is there a vaccine and/or treatment for the avian flu?

Currently there is no vaccine available to treat the avian flu. Several drug companies are in the midst of developing such a vaccine; however, the process is a lengthy one that could take up to 9 months and, once a vaccine has been developed, would take several months to manufacture. Additionally, due to the virus’s ever-evolving nature, any vaccine produced could become obsolete quickly.

When it comes to treating the avian flu, there are two antiviral medications, Relenza and Tamiflu, which have shown some success in combating the virus. Unfortunately, resistance to these medications has been reported.

Vitality C Powder by American Nutriceuticals

Research shows that the higher our maintained blood levels of Vitamin C throughout our lifetime, the longer we live. For decades, physicians have recognized the role of Vitamin C in boosting the immune system. High doses of Vitamin C are not toxic to the body; excess C is simply eliminated through the kidneys and bowels. For many people, therapeutic doses of Vitamin C cause diarrhea and stomach upset. That's why American Nutriceuticals created Vitality C.

Vitality C is a buffered, non-acidic, neutral pH powder. This unique formula allows chelation strength dosage without intestinal upset. This tasteless, high potency therapeutic Vitamin C powder offers a breakthrough for therapeutic doses without side effects!

Cost: 200 grams for $39.95

HLC Travelguard by Pharmax

Travelguard is a revolutionary product developed by Pharmax, which uniquely combines HLC probiotic organisms (to kill the bad bacteria) with a potent combination of plant antimicrobials (to replace the good bacteria). Travelguard has been designed for people traveling, particularly to overseas destinations where the risk of tummy upset is reasonably high.

Take one capsule per day with meals while traveling. Increase dosage to one capsule with each meal if risk is elevated.
