How to Treat Swine Flu (H1N1 Virus) Naturally Through Diet and Supplements
It is fair to say that few countries around the world have escaped the panic that is swine flu, or the H1N1 virus. Following the fear that accompanied the lethal bird flu virus (H5N1 virus) recently, news of another sudden and severe flu virus has left many people scared and blindly following the advised reliance on anti-viral drugs such as Tamiflu and Relenza.
However, when fear leads to this inability to question advice and seek advice from other sources, the results are often dangerous. Before advising on how to avoid and treat swine flu naturally, let's examine the flaws in following the conventional advice.
It is necessary, for example, to question to current process of diagnosing and treating swine flu when it occurs. In many countries, so as to limit the outbreak, the advice is to refrain from visiting your doctor or hospital and instead do a self-assessment online or a telephone assessment to assess your likelihood of having swine flu. If it seems that you do indeed have the virus, you are advised that someone should collect a course of anti-viral drugs on your behalf - you cannot do this yourself.
There are several, glaringly obvious flaws within this system. Firstly, at no point does the ill person see a medical professional before receiving a diagnosis. We are essentially placing the diagnosis process in the patient's own hands, which will inevitably lead to over-exaggeration of symptoms, technical errors when completing the assessment, and misunderstanding of the assessment questions. Basically, people will be receiving a diagnosis of swine flu when they do not even have the virus.
However, regardless of whether a person actually has the H1N1 virus or some other illness, the end result will most likely be a course of Tamiflu., an anti-viral drug that has been rushed into the marketplace to placate the public's need for a 'cure' to be found.
Several experts have questioned the effectiveness of Tamiflu and the other drugs being used to treat swine flu, which have been in development since the outbreak of Bird Flu. The two major concerns that experts have about the drug are firstly whether any effect can still be achieved since the drug has been in storage for several years, but more worryingly the lack of understanding we have regarding the efficacy of the drug and the long-term effects of its use, since its speedy development and release naturally mean it is a product we know scarily little about.
Given this information, it is natural that many people are reluctant to use the anti-viral drugs even if they do become ill with swine flu, and these people are looking for alternative ways of avoiding and treating the virus.
It is possible to avoid and treat the H1N1 swine flu virus naturally through the use of diet and supplementation. The most important thing to do, both in terms of avoiding the virus and treating it quickly if you do become ill, is to focus on building a strong immune system. This will allow you to either completely avoid the virus or, if you become ill, to suffer only a mild case which is beaten quickly.
In order to maintain a strong immune system you will need to make some changes to your diet and lifestyle. Your aim should be to provide the body with the tools it needs to continue functioning correctly in a state of health and vitality. You should actively try to identify sources of stress in your life and minimise these, and should make the time to build in exercise each day.
You should choose a healthy, balanced diet with a specific focus on foods and nutrients with anti-viral properties. You will need to be strict and some of your favourite 'treats' may have to be sacrificed. In particular, you will need to avoid sugar, which parlyses the immune system each time it is consumed, and should limit your intake of processed food as much as possible. You should eat a diet made up of a wide variety of fruits and vegetables, chosen for their colour in order to provide as wide a range of nutrients as possible, together with whole grains and lean sources of protein from lightly steamed oily fish such as mackerel, herring and salmon. You should also eat ground seeds (pumpkin, sunflower or flax) or their cold pressed oils each day as an additional source of essential fats, and should drink plenty of water each day in order to cleanse the body.
The specific anti-viral foods that you should include in your diet are coconut oil, cranberries, dandelion leaves, garlic and mango.
In addition to this diet, you should include the following supplements in your wellness programme:
2-4 doses of cell restoration formula daily
2 multivitamin and mineral - several vitamins will offer anti-viral effects. Supplementing individual vitamins and minerals is not recommended, unless done so under the guidance of a nutritionist
2 x antioxidants - these will boost the immune system
2 x essential fatty acids - these will boost the immune system
During any wellness programme, aloe vera is a common recommendation. This is not necessary as the glyconutrients contain mannose, the active ingredient in aloe vera.
