H1N1 is in a Losing Position With Sambucol

Back about the 2nd of May, 2009 if Twitter had the trending affair of "swine flu" or "h1n1", I got to account the posts and again started accomplishing some analytic plan on my own, alone to acquisition that there was a ton of "mis-information" all over the Net. Everything from what the affection are to what you could do to assure yourself and your family. What I begin was astonishing!
What I didn't see were admonishing of the dangers of Tamiflu or Relenza or any another methods to the CDC and FDA's recommended Tamiflu/Relenza affair line.
First, the Danger Zone
I alone accept that we should be accustomed ALL the accessible advice so that we can accomplish sound, abreast decisions about what we should, could, or would do.
Let's alpha with the "standard" band of demography Tamiflu or Relenza if or if you get this H1N1 flu. To alpha with, there accept been zero, nada, blank studies to the capability of either of these medications to action this H1N1 flu virus. Next are the adverse ancillary furnishings that at the end of the bartering they bang off so abounding so fast that your academician is angry into concoction and you just abolish them because we've become so desensitized to them they don't even annals anymore. For the record, actuality they are: nausea, diarrhea, abdomen upset, chills, fever, achiness, vomiting, and headaches. Doesn't that complete added like the flu than the cure? If you administer to get some, and the rumor is that we will run out continued afore the all-inclusive majority of us get the flu, you'll charge to yield it aural the aboriginal 48 hours of the aboriginal symptoms, and in accomplishing so, it will abbreviate the continuance of a "normal" flu aeon from 7 canicule to a simple 5.7 days, a whopping 1.3 day reprieve, which if you're activity in fact bad is in fact accustomed to some degree.
How Tamiflu and Relenza works. The drugs in Tamiflu and Relenza are Oseltamivir and Zanamivir respectively. The article is to accumulate the proteins on the flu virus bacillus (the H and N components) from adhering themselves to a advantageous cell, injecting its RNA into that cell, axis it into a virus bacillus factory. The adjustment the biologic industry has taken is to get something into the physique that will abrogate the associated agitator that will inactivate the Hemagglutinin or Neuraminidase proteins so that adapter to the corpuscle is now impossible. The ancillary furnishings appear from acrid an agitator that added locations of your physique allegedly need, abashing the antithesis that our Creator put there in the aboriginal place.
Then there is the amazing addendum of the cessation date of assertive lots of Tamiflu that asleep in June 2009, now expiring in 2011. Tamiflu is commonly "good" for 36 months, with a all-inclusive majority of the stockpiled Tamiflu expiring at the end of June 2009. There is allegedly some affectionate of testing that the FDA has accustomed to amount out if a "lot" of Tamiflu is still almighty or not. After some of this testing, it has been accepted that assertive lots of Tamiflu will now be acceptable until the end of May 2011. I don't apperceive about you, and I in fact DON'T apperceive the biologic industry, but if my milk is declared to expire on August 5th, bubbler it on August 31st could be a actual abhorrent experience.
And of course, the affair of studies. The a lot of contempo "study" from a able-bodied admired university, Stanford, didn't in fact do a new abstraction at all, they artlessly acquired the abstracts calm from 7 antecedent studies (funded by Big Pharma), combed through the advice and has assured that Tamiflu will NOW anticipate the H1N1 flu. Its a generically across-the-board statement, that their cessation is that Tamiflu will anticipate the H1N1 flu, but what is larboard out of that account is that there were ONLY 2 abstraction groups of people, Caucasians and Japanese, and that they were advantageous individuals, all allegedly over the age of 18 with no accepted infirmities or diseases. So if you are beneath 18 or accept asthma, diabetes, cancer, obese, or in any added way infirmed, non-Caucasian and non-Japanese, this abstraction IS NOT absolute that demography Tamiflu afore you get the flu is preventative. And now the CDC is aback pedalling and adage NOT to yield Tamiflu as a bactericide as it may enhance the virus to mutate, which we in fact DO NOT wish to see.
Most of what we see flies in the face of science. Science says that we accept controlled abstracts area duplicable after-effects accept been verified. Again the after-effects are appear with bright definitions of what they were able to prove. Abrogating affidavit such as "Do we apperceive that it DOESN'T anticipate the flu in accouchement beneath 18?" is a abrogating proof, just because we don't apperceive if it doesn't anticipate the flu, a cessation that it "will" is not possible.
Second, the Landing Zone
To me there is in fact annihilation worse than cogent me that I shouldn't do something or that something may be bad for me WITHOUT an alternative.
With a head-to-head adjoin Tamiflu or Relenza, I in fact not alone begin an alternative, but begin one that leaves them in the dust.
In the 1990's, an Isreali virologist was commissioned to acquisition a way to anticipate the doubtable advancing virus accompanying pandemics. What she begin was TERRIFIC!
We've all heard of the healing ability of Elderberries. What the acceptable Doctor begin was that in these Black Elderberries is an amino acerbic alleged L-Sambucus. What this amino acerbic does is bind to the proteins (the H and N components) of the flu virus microbe, apprehension it clumsy to attach itself to a corpuscle and starting the bacillus accomplishment action that makes you sick. So it has the exact aforementioned aftereffect as Oseltamivir or Zanamivir yet after the ancillary effects.
And with the University of Oslo, Norway academy of Medicine administering a abstraction of flu patients, their abstraction showed an absurd abridgement of the continuance of the flu from 7.1 canicule to alone 3.1 days, that's 4 accomplished canicule and acerbic the affection of the flu by over half. All with NO ancillary effects.
The one admonition of the abstraction is that it wasn't conducted accurately on H1N1 flu patients, so the abrogating affidavit aswell applies here.
In Summary
If you accept to the CDC and the FDA, their advocacy is to get and yield Tamiflu or Relenza to anticipate or abbreviate the continuance of the accessible additional beachcomber of the H1N1 Flu Pandemic. If you assurance the studies and can yield the bound that abundant advice is accessible that these drugs can and will advice you, accept at it.
On the added hand, if an amino acerbic alleged L-Sambucus has been advised and apparent as acceptable or bigger after-effects with no ancillary furnishings from a acclaimed university and you can yield the bound that abundant advice is accessible that L-Sambucus can and will advice you, accept at it also.
