The Definition Of Swine Flu Influenza, By Mayo Clinic staff

Novel H1N1 flu, popularly known as swine flu, is a
respiratory infection caused by an influenza virus first
recognized in spring 2009. The new virus, which is
officially called swine influenza A (H1N1), contains
genetic material from human, swine and avian flu viruses.

Technically, the term “swine flu” refers to influenza
in pigs. Occasionally, pigs transmit influenza viruses to
people, mainly hog farm workers and veterinarians. Less
often, someone infected occupationally passes the
infection to others. You can’t catch swine flu from
eating pork.

Unlike typical swine flu, H1N1 flu spreads quickly and
easily. In June 2009, when the infection’s spread had
been verified worldwide, the World Health Organization
declared H1N1 flu a global pandemic.

An H1N1 vaccine has been developed for the 2009-10 flu
season.

Swine flu symptoms in humans are similar to those of
infection with other flu strains:

·  Fever

·  Cough

·  Sore throat

·  Body aches

·  Headache

·  Chills

·  Fatigue

·  Diarrhea

·  Vomiting

Swine flu symptoms develop three to five days after
you’re exposed to the virus and continue for about eight
days, starting one day before you get sick and continuing
until you’ve recovered.

When to see a doctor.

It’s not necessary to call a doctor if you’re generally
healthy and you develop swine flu symptoms, such as
fever, cough and body aches. Do call your doctor,
however, if you have flu symptoms and you’re pregnant or
you have a chronic disease, such as emphysema or a heart
condition.

Causes.

Influenza viruses infect the cells lining your nose,
throat and lungs. The virus enters your body when you
inhale contaminated droplets or transfer live virus from
a contaminated surface to your eyes, nose or mouth on
your hand.

Risk factors.

Because novel H1N1 virus is new, everyone is at some
risk. Health care workers who provide direct patient care
are at particular risk of catching H1N1 flu. College
students and children in school and child care are also
at high risk. Children typically pick up the virus in the
classroom and pass it to other members of the household.

When Travelling.

-  inform yourself about this illness and if your
Insurance Co. covers your Medical Expenses when
travelling

-  take with you basic first aid and other medical
supplies – be aware of local medical announcements

-  follow recommendations of how to prevent/restrict
influenza – wash your hands thoroughly and frequently

-  sneeze into your sleeve at the elbow area to avoid

-  do not touch your eyes, nose and mouth

-  keep distance from sick people

-  if if get ill contact your consulate

-  when you return home monitor your health about first 10
days

-  call your doctor if you have the symptoms of the
influenza known as grippe and flu, which is upper
respiratory disease also known as swine flu.

Vacccine is available and recommended but there many
professionals and individuals who do not share this
recommendation.

For best results, when in doubt, consult a professional
– YOU would be glad you did.

Dear Olga,

Patients who come to me with unwanted noise filling their
head non-stop are among the most frustrated. You can’t
sleep. You can’t read. It’s tough to concentrate on
anything.

When I went to medical school, like all beginning
doctors, I had to learn a new language. We doctors have
different words for everything. So we don’t call it
“ringing in your ears.” We call it tinnitus.

Problem is, all those fancy new words aside, doctors just
don’t seem to be able to do a darn thing to fix the
problem.

Most doctors say you’ll get used to it eventually. That
you just have to live with it. Some even blame you for
causing it – all those years listening to music too
loudly or working near noisy machinery.

But there are other causes of tinnitus. Taking
antibiotics, having chronic ear infections, even food
allergies cause the disorder.

And you can make the ringing stop. While some doctors
will put you on anti-depressants or tranquilizers to help
numb your mind, I’ve found some natural remedies can make
tinnitus disappear.

Ginkgo biloba. Over 40 clinical studies show that ginkgo
eases tinnitus. For example, a German study of tinnitus
sufferers shows that ginkgo reduces ringing.1 Another
review of studies says taking ginkgo for one to three
months has a significantly greater reduction and speedier
relief.

Even Germany’s Commission E, which regulates supplements,
officially endorses ginkgo as a treatment for tinnitus. I
recommend 80 mg three times a day.

Vinpocetine. If loud noises caused your tinnitus,
vinpocetine may be the answer. In one study, tinnitus
disappeared in half of those who took it within one week
of trauma.

Even if you don’t take it right away, it can lessen the
severity. Regardless of the time lapse since the trauma,
66 percent had a significant decrease. I recommend 20 mg
a day.

CoQ10. A British study found that tinnitus sufferers with
low levels of CoQ10 benefited significantly from CoQ10
supplements.

Get your blood levels checked. If your CoQ10 levels are
below 3 to 4 mcg/ml, you’ll want to take a supplement. I
recommend 50 mg of the ubiquinol form of CoQ10. The
ubiquinol form is 8 times more powerful than regular
CoQ10. It’s more absorbable so it keeps your blood levels
high.

As I mentioned, food allergies can sometimes cause
tinnitus. You can take a test to find out which foods
your body can’t tolerate. It’s called the ALCAT Test.
It’s a simple blood test. And you get an easy-to-read
report telling you which foods to avoid. By eliminating
certain foods, you may be able to cure your tinnitus. Ask
your doctor about it.

Plus, there’s another great resource you should use. I’ve
been on the panel of experts at the Health Sciences
Institute for many years. They’ve put together one of the
most comprehensive books I’ve seen on the subject. It’s
filled with solutions your doctor doesn’t know about. You
can learn more about how to handle your tinnitus
including:

* Foods that cause – and cure – tinnitus

* Which common drugs have tinnitus as a side effect

* What diseases could contribute to tinnitus

* How yoga breathing exercises may bring relief

* Massage techniques that can provide comfort

* The most effective treatments you can use

* And much more.

The book contains a wealth of information that can help
you.

I suggest you check out this special offer now.

To Your Good Health,

One of the largest North America’s Health Problems, at
the present is peoples’ exaggerated overweight/obesity
which affects citizens’ health. Even young children
suffer from it.

Who, do you think, is responsible to keep people healthy?
If you were to reflect on this just for a moment, you
would quickly come to the conclusion that it is your
responsibility to keep your body healthy.

Take First Baby Steps To Solve The Problem

You can begin getting out of this predicament by
evaluating the following: Does the food you consume
contain a lot of junk-food? Do you eat mostly the
processed (frozen) food? Do you indulge yourself in soft,
sugary drinks? Are you the kind of a person that has to
have rich, sweet snacks and deserts?

If so, you should gradually stop consuming those damaging
products and replace them with:

Wholesome foodstuff and Fresh vegetables.

Fresh fruits snacks and Nuts and seeds.

Fresh fruits deserts and

Drinking 6 – 8 glasses of water daily.

You also have to take into account that a human body was
created to be in motion, but we became Desk and TV bound
and engage ourselves with sedentary games, rather than
doing some physical activities.

Don’t Forget To Exercise!

Yet to exercise is so easy: As soon as you wake up drink
about two glasses of water. This water won’t stay with
you for long – it will help to detoxify your system
quicker.

Then exercise about 20 minutes and take a shower. After
you wash yourself the usual way try to run (gradually)
hot water over your body, (as hot as you can stand it)
for about 30 seconds. After that run cold-water shower
over your body (30 seconds).

You will feel refreshed and vigorous – ready to take on
not only your daily routine but also the closest
mountains as well!

Do I hear you say you don’t know what kind of
calisthenics is best for you? I am glad you asked…
Being an ardent health supporter I am very much intrusive
and probing in everything that affects this topic.

It was, therefore, not by chance that I got interested in
the meaning of the word “Turbulence” associated with
“Training”: Burn Your Belly Fat and Sculpture Your
Muscles. I was puzzled…

English is not my native language. I lived through the
World War II in Europe and experienced first-hand the
meaning of this word, but having it connected to the
work-out, to sculpture your muscles – this was something
I needed to look into.

After considering the meaning of the word and learning
about the “Turbulence Training” I came to conclusion
that it is definitely all-inclusive and proper word to
use: One had to combat with all might, violence, and
ferocity to burst, to infiltrate the knobby roughness -
bumpiness of the person’s rough skin to get the desired
results from exercising.

Yes, indeed, to do the job right, one definitely needs a
turbo-supercharger to combat all the resistance! My
friend needed that kind of attack, pardon me, exercises
and I immediately contacted her. To my delight no
persuasion was needed, because the motto of the founder
of the Program was: “Try Before You Buy”, and there was
a Guarantee to loose weight, so there was no risk of
loosing anything except many pounds of fat.

To keep my friend company I also signed up for
“to-do-it-at home” Program requiring minimum equipment!
Imagine, no need to go to the GYM to keep my muscles
firm. It’s very convenient for a person, who is “80plus
going on 100″!

Right now this program is being offered for FREE. But
before I tell you what it enhances, let me introduce to
you the founder of it: Mr. Craig Ballantyne, CSCS, M.Sc.,
who is also a Strength & Conditioning coach in Toronto,
a contributing author to Health Magazines, and a member
of the Training Advisory Board for Inside Fitness and
Oxygen Magazine. He diligently studies latest Training,
Nutrition Research and Supplementation that will help
improve his clients’ health and wellness as well as
their physical and mental performance.

Craig put together “short quality program for loss
workout for men and women to do at home exercises with
minimum equipment” that comes with Nutrition and Fat
Loss Guidelines.

You also will be able to access to the entire Training
system and ask any questions about your Fat-Loss and
Nutrition programs and down load – print the Exercises
and Tips for your Home Library.

Craig practices “Safety First!” He does not take any
chances: He insists on Dr’s Exam if you are sedentary or
have a health problem.

Words Of Wisdom

It’s also important to have a positive attitude and use
some visualization, which takes me quite a few years back
when the present Governor of California, Arnold
Schwarzenegger five-time winner of Mr. Universe
competition, indicated that positive thinking and
visualization was important to his training. He said:
“As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can
do something, you can do it – as long as you really
believe one hundred percent”. (Interview by writer
Kenneth R. Pelletier “Holistic Medicine, 1978).

Craig was asked why is he giving his new Program for
FREE… He responded: ” …I’m giving away a 6-month TT
membership to EVERYONE who finishes the Training contest.
All you have to do is submit before and after Photos and
an Essay … ”

…I can promise you that if you stick to the plan, it is
guaranteed to work. All you need is the commitment and
the motivation to see it through.” Yes, indeed, my
friend and I can testify that the Programs are very
effective: she lost “tons” of fat, looks and feels if
she were a different person. Even her personality changed
for the better! I have more energy and firm muscles!
