How to avoid and possibly treat influenza

Cherie — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 03:28:47 +0000

Swine flu (Swine influenza A (H1N1) virus infection) is causing great concern worldwide. A “pandemic” is determined when a new influenza virus emerges for which there is no vaccine and for which people have little or no immunity. Spread of the disease is worldwide. The ‘seat’ of this infection is in the country of Mexico. Many countries are screening travelers coming in from Mexico and stopping citizens from traveling to Mexico. In the US, state and federal health departments are testing to diagnose this particular viral strain and to produce and stock enough medicine to treat it. Differentiations between this flu virus and other strains have not yet been published, although doctors report that this virus manifests with more symptoms of dizziness and light-headedness.

Cherie — Mon, 30 Mar 2009 18:40:11 +0000

Stevia can be purchased in a liquid form or as a white powder. As of today, it is only approved by the government as a nutritional supplement, not as a food additive, so you will not find it as the sweetener in processed foods. Soft drink companies have received approval for additives processed from isolated chemical constituents of the plant for use in their products. (Truvia in Coke products; PureVia in Pepsi products)
