Are You Prepared For The Swine Flu?
The World Health Organization and the Center for Disease Control officially declared the Swine Flu a pandemic in the spring of 2009. This had many people confused since there was not that many confirmed cases or deaths. That amount of cases or deaths is not what has these officials concerned, it is the parallels to the Spanish Flu of 1918 that has everyone so concerned.
What IS Swine Flu?
Swine Flu is a novel strain of influenza (H1N1) for which humans do not have any natural immunity. First identified in Mexico in the 2009, the Swine Flu is a combination of different existing flu viruses that have come together to make a new and very dangerous virus.
People seem to be divided into two camps; one thinks that there is nothing to worry about and the other thinks this is going to be the end of mankind - both these extremes are incorrect. Although this is a dangerous virus it is not going to wipe man off the earth but it is here and it is dangerous and the Swine Flu does need to be taken seriously.
Why Are Doctors And Health Officials So Concerned?
.In 1918 the Spanish Flu pandemic killed millions of people. What made it so dangerous is who it killed; the majority of people that dies from Spanish Flu were the people who were supposed to be at the lowest risk to getting sick.
With the Swine Flu the same seems to be true. Usually the high risk people for influenza are the very young and the elderly. What has the health officials so concerned is that a disproportionate number of people between the ages of 20 and 45 have died from being infected with the Swine Flu virus. This is the age group that is supposed to get sick less often and recover much faster when they do get sick.
What Is The Real Danger?
The real danger is that people will not take the Swine Flu seriously and will wait to the very last minute to try and prepare for this pandemic. Ignorance in this case could be deadly. Millions of people are going to get infected with Swine Flu this year, and sadly many people will die. But there are steps we can take to prepare for this disease and even prevent it.
What Can Be Done About This?
We are in a unique period in human history. For the first time we have the ability to get out in front of this pandemic and take certain steps to lessen its impact. Of course there are seemingly simple things like hand washing, wearing face masks, and vaccination. But there is also the steps we can take to boost our immune systems, to distance ourselves from our community if we get sick or if many are sick around us.
There really is too much to try and list everything in just one article. Luckily there is alot of great information so we can get educated in what we need to do individually to collectively make a difference in our communities. The problem is that there is so much information out there it is hard to tell what is true and what is hype.

Tamiflu Worked With Avian Flu - What About Swine Flu?
Tamiflu, whose common scientific name is oseltamivir, is part of a family of flu fighting medicines called neuraminidase inhibitors. Tamilflu is used in the treatment of infections caused by both the influenza A and influenza B viruses. Tamiflu, which requires a prescription, can be used both to treat the flu if taken soon after symptoms appear, or to prevent the flu. The difference between Tamiflu and a vaccine is that Tamiflu helps your immune system be in a position to fight off the advance of the viral infection, whereas a vaccine is just a straight injection of dead influenza that causes your immune system to produce antibodies to fight off the virus itself.
Tamiflu demand has skyrocketed over the past year for several reasons. There was a shortage of available flu vaccine during flu season 2005, with in some cases only enough for senior citizens or those with more vulnerable immune conditions being able to get vaccinated. Also, the U.S. government was concerned that an outbreak of bird flu in the United States could leave the U.S. short on flu vaccines, causing them to hold back supplies just in case of an outbreak. However, the bird flu is different form human influenza. This is exacly the same scenario as swine flu today.
Bird Flu is much harder to transmit than human influenza, requiring very close physical contact to spread the disease. Bird flu has been observed in countries where humans and animals are in close contact. There have been roughly 70 deaths worldwide and approximately 130 infections since 2005. The primary concern of health officials around the world is that bird flu will infect a person already carrying the human influenza strain, and that the two viruses will somehow swap genetic material, causing the bird flu to mutate into a virus that spreads much faster through the air, like human influenza, only this virus would be more deadly. A highly virulent straight of mutated bird flu could create a pandemic for the world, as did the Spanish Flu virus of the early 1900's that killed 20 to 50 million people worldwide.
Unfprtunately, swine flu is much closer to the spanish flu than the bird flu was. We did however learn alot from the bird flu outbreak that prepared us for what is certain to be a sever pandemic of the swine flu.
The bird flu is associated with the influenza A strain H5N1 flu virus. Although not the same as the Spanish flu virus, the current avian flu strain does share many similarities with the Spanish flu strain. Initial studies have shown that Tamiflu may be effective in helping to fight the effects of this flu virus if the medication is taken very early after flu symptoms appear. As a result, the demand for Tamiflu has skyrocketed as consumers have rushed to their doctors to obtain prescriptions and gone online to buy the drug from internet pharmacies.
Similar results have been documented with the swine flu. When Tamiflu is taken very early on it does appear to have a popsitive effect in combating the virus.
A Swiss drug maker, F. Hoffman La-Roche Ltd., currently has a tight hold on the manufacturing of Tamiflu. Biolyse Pharma Corp., when turned down in its bid to try to enter the Tamiflu marketplace, had decided as of December of 2005 to attempt to mass produce several tons of shikimic acid, which is the main ingredient in Tamiflu, from the needles of discarded Christmas trees, as well as other pine, fir, and spruce trees. Such trees are the main source of shikimic acid.
Oseltamivir, sold under the brand name Tamiflu, is one of several medications approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment and prevention of influenza. The CDC has announced that a swine flu vaccine should be available fall 2009.
