科學家們發現的第一條線索,為什麼有些人住院,死於H1N1病毒感染,而其他人只能有一個溫和的流感大流行的形式。

一個由加拿大和西班牙研究人員的新研究顯示,關係到病人的血液中白細胞介素17的金額差異。

有嚴重的H1N1病例患者的高水平,而那些症狀較輕的有低的水平。

白細胞介素17有助於調節白血細胞,從而對抗感染和疾病。

這一發現可能導致開發一種藥物,以防止嚴重的流感形式。

“在極少數情況下,病毒引起的肺部感染,需要在醫院接受治療的患者,多倫多總醫院研究所博士大衛說:”開爾文。

“目標或阻止白細胞介素17在未來,我們可能會減少在肺部炎症的金額,並加快恢復,”他說,加入這樣的待遇將是遠離年。

一個測試,以確定誰擁有高層次的分子有可能在不久的將來,開爾文說。 “診斷測試可以讓我們早知道是這種疾病的嚴重形式的風險迅速,”他說。

這種分子的水平高,表示未能消除病毒的免疫系統,類似發生在1918年西班牙流感發生大量死亡時,由於已經致命的A型流感病毒株H1N1亞型。

這項研究發表在雜誌急救。

有許多天然的補救措施,將提高你的豬流感和其他病毒和細菌性疾病的免疫力。 許多人沒有目前的豬流感病毒的免疫力。 這是不尋常,因為大多數病毒改變為病毒的季節隨之而來。 大多數人不會生病,因為這個問題是不是病毒,但易感性。

病毒不會繁殖,在一個健康的身體。 我們不斷在我們的喉嚨鏈球菌,但我們很少遇到咽喉炎。 同樣是真正的豬流感和其他病毒株。 曝光會導致疾病,只有當免疫系統受到抑制,如果人的活力減弱。 不抑制粘液。 重要的是讓身體排出毒素。

大多數病毒隨著時間的推移變得不那麼積極,因為他們要傳播,而不是殺死他們的主機。 如果他們殺了他們的主人,他們以及死亡。 人類具有較強的免疫系統生存的病毒毒性較弱,所以他們的主人,我們人類,去上班,握手,對他人打噴嚏繼續傳播病毒。

使用草藥,順勢療法,維生素會增加您的健康,減少您的易感性。

消解
有人說流感“開始在腸道內和腸道的兩端”。 這意味著,如果你有良好的消化,你會增加你的抵抗力,這和其他流感病毒株。 採取益生菌日常。 現場益生菌是天然食品商店,益生菌是現在更廣泛地提供在雜貨店,酸奶中的文化,甚至在巧克力。

順勢療法
順勢的補救阿納斯Barbariae是由肝臟移植鵝。 因為他們在世界各地旅行,他們建立在人類之前到許多病毒多年的免疫力。 是一定要得到檢查的截止日期由2009年的版本。 人們已經發現,補救福萊姆磷酸鹽是有效治療流感的早期階段,在最初24小時內使用時。 也可採取補救措施Influenzinum作為預防措施。 這一補救措施是由同一種疾病應變CDC的使用,使每個季節的流感疫苗。

生活方式建議
1。 有充足的睡眠
為了改善您的任何疾病的抵抗,最重要的事情你可以做的是得到足夠的休息。 你的身體知道如何醫治,它睡覺的時候。 每天的基礎上得到足夠的休息,如果你開始感到疲勞的時間到你的免疫系統增加壓力時,採取午睡,睡覺的時候早些時候,放鬆心情,讓自己的身體做它最擅長的恢復和重建。

2。 天然氣水合物
我們的身體80%的水。 每天多喝水,保持水分,讓身體從血液和肝臟中的毒素沖洗。 喝純淨水,汽水或果汁,以取得最佳效果。

3。 行使
運動可以增加你對疾病的抵抗力。 它刺激潔淨的​​血流量,增加你的自然壓力,減少激素。 運動不很艱苦的是有益的。 科學已經證明,每天步行好為您的健康和福祉。

4。 花時間在戶外
自然癒合的好處是你和所有你需要做的是加強外。 清新的空氣,潔淨你的肺部和維生素D,陽光是一般健康的偉大。 即使在陰雨天或晚上,清新的空氣是有益的。

5。 行使
置身於大自然和戶外活動,有助於健康的情緒。

建立保護及自然免疫力的草藥

1.Echinaea,松果最好採取提前得病。
2.Olive葉
3.Elderberries
4適應原
適應原植物,有能力抵禦化學和生物的壓力,並通過對人類的能力。 聖潔莓的研究已經表明流感在俄羅斯的工人減少30%至50%。 shisandra早已習慣在中醫,以提高機體免疫功能,通過其對肝臟癒合作用。 在最近的研究中,Shisandra證明病毒性肝炎的療效。 黨參是用另一種中草藥紅景天。 它增加了紅色和白色的血細胞數量和增強免疫系統。

維生素
1。 維生素A是皮膚的主要組成部分之一。 要加強皮膚的保護能力,採取每日維生素A。 維生素A也增加了白血細胞,抵抗疾病。
2。 維生素C的研究表明,維生素C提高對疾病的抵抗力,防止感冒症狀1000毫克劑量時採取了每六個小時。
3。 NAC是一種氨基酸,已被證明在臨床試驗中提高對流感的免疫力。
4.Probiotics。 在腸道內健康菌群支持免疫功能。

改善您的生活方式,飲食,天然草藥,順勢療法和維生素的補充,可以提高你的免疫系統和你的整體活力。

如果堅持,如果你發高燒症狀,尋求醫療幫助。

作出努力,以掩蓋他的嘴 - - 乾咳同胞的乘客是空中旅行的最大的抱怨之一,直到有尖叫的嬰兒和孩子,誰也不會停止踢座位。

關於H1N1和季節性流感的關注中,聯邦衛生官員發出指引,上月末,關於如何處理生病的乘客明顯的:空姐應該問的人咳嗽,戴上口罩和移動至少6英尺別人的人。 在空氣中,最近的旅客報告不同的現實。

希瑟Shaw是美國聯合航空公司航班本月早些時候,她住的地方,從舊金山到丹佛。 該名男子坐在她身後有“痰咳”,少數乘客明顯有病的飛行之一。 “服務員沒有走近他們,所以很多人可能是因為有感冒,現在他們的身影,它是一個丟失的原因,”肖說。

三角洲連接859航班上,由Pinnacle航空公司經營,從亞特蘭大到孟菲斯,田納西州,本月初,一名乘客遠離黑客和干預沒有乘務員。 搭乘美國航空公司1586航班從洛杉磯到多倫多上週五,幾個人咳嗽整個五個小時的行程。 空姐當被問及如果出現混淆口罩,後來報告說,她沒有。

西南航空公司的空姐給了相互矛盾的信息,根據飛行。 最近,當乘客從伯班克對西南飛行1142鳳凰標題問口罩,乘務員的反應是,“不,先生,我們有這樣的一無所知。”

但在第二天從洛杉磯到薩克拉門托的航班,西南乘務員說,他的面具,但他從來沒有交給任何出。

衛生官員已警告市民旅行時,流感病例數上升節假日期間的照顧。

飛機特別是傳染性疾病的孵化器。 大批人在封閉的環境中“可以促進人與人之間的流感的傳播,”根據疾病控制和預防中心公佈的感恩節之後的四天內指引。

但知道這是一個問題,促使人們採取行動,是獨立的問題。

半打各大航空公司的官員說,雖然他們通常有面具的航班上提供,沒有政策要求乘務員為他們提供患病旅客。

,在編輯網站smartertravel.com的大型,蒂姆·溫希普說,這是罕見的旅客旁邊的座位是空的,更不用說有6腳之間的乘客,以騰出空間。

“溫希普說,”我無法想像這樣做是作為chockablock作為他們與人們的小木屋,你將如何去。

這讓使用口罩,以防止病菌的傳播。 在日本,它是常見的做法,對感冒和流感症狀的人要戴口罩,以防止疾病的蔓延。

但在美國,乘客很少穿。

溫希普說,雖然他會很高興,如果乘務員與咳嗽的旅客提供口罩,他理解為什麼他們不這樣做。

“我可以看到它轉動對抗。 出於這個原因,我可以看到空姐可能是不願意戳破的,“溫希普說。 “這是相同的原因,空姐都不願意一回,來回獲取有關乘客攜帶超大袋。”

一些乘客,其中包括的尼克朗德特里,誰擁有房地產經紀公司在西雅圖,希望更多的干預。 朗德特里坐在後面的西南航空公司本月早些時候飛往丹佛的病婦。

“她不停地咳嗽,咳嗽和咳嗽。 深討厭的咳嗽。“他說。 “我絕對相信,乘務員為乘客提供口罩。 我想他們應該已經主動交給面具女士“。

奧巴馬總統和他的妻子米歇爾,已經收到了他們的豬流感疫苗。 奧巴馬週一表示,他們“只是得到了槍聲。”他沒有詳細說明他的話,在白宮橢圓形辦公室與美國城市電台的網絡採訪。 一位白宮官員後來說,奧巴馬先生在上週日的白宮和奧巴馬夫人接種幾天前接種。 總統還鼓勵接種疫苗對流感的H1N1病毒株,目前該疫苗是向公眾提供他人。 該疫苗已限制孩子般的高危險群。 奧巴馬夫婦的女兒,11歲的瑪麗亞和8歲的薩莎,得到了在10月他們的鏡頭疫苗時首次面世。

華盛頓(路透社) -美國人擔心豬流感疫苗的安全性仍擔心它可能不是很容易說服他們自己或他們的子女接種疫苗,研究人員說,上Tuesdayresearchers週二表示。

民意調查機構說,約60%的受訪父母說,他們計劃讓他們的孩子接種疫苗,79%的成年人會盡量讓自己的疫苗,但有一個硬核的阻力,美國政府尚未懇求移動, 。

“三十五%的家長說,他們不會得到它和60%的主要原因是安全的,”哈佛大學公共衛生學院的羅伯特·布蘭登在接受電話採訪時說。 “我們的觀點是有,只是有更多的了解有關疫苗的人認為工作”。

一些研究表明,甲型H1N1流感疫苗不會引起不尋常的副作用和布蘭登說,目前尚不清楚為什麼有這麼多的家長擔心。

18歲以上的1637人的調查,上週為100萬劑疫苗已成為。

美國疾病控制和預防估計中心,近50萬美國人已經感染了豬流感,1萬人被殺害。

雖然這不是像通常的36,000人死於季節性流感高,官員指出,豬流感感染並殺死年輕的成年人和兒童比季節性流感。

繼續推動

美國衛生和人類服務部有五家公司的合同,使2.51億劑H1N1疫苗。

哈佛調查,其中有3個百分點的誤差,發現只有14%的成年人為自己已經得到疫苗,但79%的人會嘗試 - 從92%表示,他們將在11月。

HHS和疾病預防控制中心的工作,如沃爾瑪在所謂的大箱子商店分發的疫苗。

約翰Roehm Mollen免疫診所,經營沃爾瑪診所,說,該公司將在美國48個州有豬流感診所下週結束。

Roehm在接受電話採訪時說:“我們將看到怎樣的需求,”。 他說,需求上升為國家衛生部門鼓勵更廣泛的人群進行疫苗接種。

管理與沃爾格林公司在27個美國州及CVS Caremark公司在20個州和華盛頓在1500多個地點提供疫苗,零售藥店也已開始。 Rite Aid公司在12個州的診所。

(彭博) - 阿斯利康召回470萬劑豬流感疫苗鼻噴劑版本的常規測試後,發現在效力下降,美國監管機構說。

諾曼·貝勒說,美國食品和藥物管理局疫苗研究和審查董事,保持安全劑量,不需要再次接種疫苗已接種的人。 3000關於受影響的劑量仍然在倉庫,阿斯利康將召回通知發送到診所可能有未使用的疫苗瓶。

召回如下類似的舉動12月15日,由總部設在巴黎的賽諾菲 - 安萬特公司召回80萬豬流感鏡頭。 貝勒說,製造商保持每個出廠的疫苗很多,測試的樣本,他們繼續測試他們減弱效力。 都召回自願作出後的強度下降到低於預先指定的閾值。

貝勒說:“這些地段有沒有安全問題,”昨天在與記者的電話會議。 “我們做的每一個現在,然後看到一個效力下降。”

劑量分佈在十月和十一月初,“絕大多數”已經管理,Tor的康斯坦丁諾,總部位於倫敦的阿斯利康公司的發言人在接受電話採訪時說,昨天。 劑量通過藥效試驗疫苗之前被運。 他說,該公司從來沒有見過類似的效力下降與季節性流感FluMist鼻噴劑疫苗的版本。

60萬接種疫苗

在美國至少有60億人的幾種豬流感疫苗,本週提供111萬劑,已收到美國疾病控制和預防中心昨天報導。 經過最初的供應有限,目前大多數國家都提供免費接種的人誰想要一的Anne Schuchat說,CDC的國家免疫和呼吸系統疾病中心的負責人,在一個電話會議。

康斯坦丁諾說,阿斯利康已售出23萬劑,其與美國衛生和人類服務部40萬的合同。 美國下令從五家公司的2.51億劑流感疫苗,大多數國家現在有足夠的所有年齡的人提供疫苗。 槍聲和鼻腔噴霧劑是由美國政府支付,雖然診所可以收取一定的費用管理。

疫苗已在全國各地的可用性上升,疾病甚至衰落,根據疾病預防控制中心。 豬流感率已經連續七週下降的最低水平,因為學生返回到九月類。

執著的抗原

賽諾菲的疫苗效力下降可能是由於的關鍵因素,抗原,抓著牆上的注射器隨著時間的推移,CDC的Schuchat博士說,召回後。

阿斯利康的疫苗有不同類型的噴頭,並使用一個不同的進程,FDA的貝勒說。 科學家仍在試圖確定什麼是負責降低藥效。 他說,這樣的跌幅是罕見的,但不是聞所未聞的。 在二月同樣的原因召回一批季節性流感疫苗FDA發言人Karen Riley說,在昨天的電話會議。

感染H1N1,50萬在美國的人,並在4大流行的開始到11月14日殺害了約10,000,根據疾病預防控制中心估計12月10日報導。 大約有36000人死於流感在美國每年從。

大多數豬流感感染並不比季節性流感更糟糕,根據疾病預防控制中心的官員。 在極少數情況下,疾病導致嚴重的疾病和死亡,否則健康人。 不同於季節性流感,豬流感不成比例的攻擊的年輕人。 在一個典型的流感季節中,90%的死亡是65歲以上的豬流感,影響65歲以下的死亡人數的90%,扭轉了。

2009年12月18日 - 英國的豬流感大流行的第二波似乎要結束略低於正常的季節性流感水平,現在類似流感的疾病進行協商,根據健康保護局的最新數字。

在英國大約有9000新病例上週,從11000前一周。

523人正在住院治療豬流感在英國與數量也下降。

英格蘭首席醫務官Liam Donaldson爵士已經表示,“21世紀的首次流感大流行是大大低於被提前擔心致命的。”

在蘇格蘭,新病例是由不到1000跌破8000。

儘管在新情況下的秋天,蘇格蘭衛生部長Nicola鱘魚仍然要求每個人有資格獲得豬流感疫苗,在一份聲明中說:“這是最好的方式來保護自己從H1N1病毒,不幸的是,可能會導致嚴重的並發症在某些情況下。 接種疫苗的第二階段 - 為所有兒童的年齡六個月至五年 - 不久將開始,所以我也想鼓勵所有家長,以確保他們的子女對病毒免疫“。

“人豬流感測試陽性,所有被測試者的比例,數量正在下降。 目前,有關豬流感測試,每十人之一居然有豬流感。 測試的十分之九的人不會有豬流感,但往往有其他如普通感冒或季節性流感病毒的感染。“

鮭魚博士警告說,儘管“流感至今仍在流傳,所以我還是強烈建議人們要知道豬流感的症狀,可以採取的步驟,以防止其蔓延”。

在北愛爾蘭兒童死於豬流感
豬流感有一個9歲的孩子已經死在北愛爾蘭。 孩子已經基本衛生條件。 McGimpsey,衛生部長邁克爾說,“不幸的是,我們已經通知一個人被確認為豬流感的孩子死亡。 我想家庭致以誠摯的慰問。“

未來的發展趨勢

從7月到九月初的豬流感第一波在299,000例;從9月到這個月的第二次浪潮,到目前為止,已至482,000宗。

在英國的疫苗接種計劃已經看到343,000醫護人員接種疫苗101000孕婦和三百萬人民,在最初的優先群體。 在接下來的六個月以上,五歲的兒童。

The rates of new infections began to drop with the school half term break. With schools breaking up for Christmas and New Year, experts will be hoping that this, together with the swine flu vaccination programme, will continue to reduce infections.

However, the Department of Health says there is an “uncertain future pattern for the disease”.

(NaturalNews) All of a sudden, H1N1 vaccines are available all across America. Walgreens and other pharmacies are pushing the vaccines as if there were an “everything must go” liquidation sale under way. Hurry, get your swine flu vaccine today before everybody figures out they're useless!

The marketability of vaccines has a strict time limit. They're only in demand during the fear phase of a pandemic, and that fear phase has long since faded for H1N1. Virtually everyone who wants an H1N1 vaccine has already received one, and the rest of the population is beginning to notice something quite curious: People who got the vaccine are no better off than those who skipped it. In fact, there's no difference in mortality between those who were vaccinated and those who weren't, indicating yet again that the swine flu vaccine was a medical hoax to begin with.

If you don't believe me, just ask the potentially hundreds of thousands of parents who gave their children one of the recently recalled H1N1 children's vaccines. These vaccines were recalled because they were found to be so weak that they were medically useless. But observant parents are noticing a curious fact: Children who received the “useless” (recalled) vaccine have been no worse off than those who received a full-strength vaccine.

The strength of the vaccine, in fact, appears to be entirely irrelevant to the health outcomes of children. Vaccine or not, strong or weak, children's reaction to the pandemic has virtually nothing to do with any treatments offered by conventional medicine.

In fact, the greatest determining factor in the health outcomes of children has most likely been their blood levels of vitamin D. But that isn't tracked by medical professionals… nor even prescribed by them. So we'll probably never know the exact correlation between vitamin D and H1N1 prevention.

Millions of useless vaccines
So now we have a situation where the US government has spent billions of dollars acquiring H1N1 vaccines that, by the time they were delivered for consumption, were already irrelevant to public health. Does anybody really believe at this point that swine flu is a deadly pandemic that will kill you if you don't receive a vaccine? You'd have to really look hard to find someone so uninformed (and brainwashed) that they're making the H1N1 vaccine a priority in their life right now.

So what we're going to end up with here is a huge stockpile of H1N1 vaccines that nobody wants. Sure, the pharmacies, clinics and hospitals will try to push as many of them as they can (even offering free vaccines sooner or later, just to get people into their stores), but in the end, they're inevitably going to be sitting on millions of extra doses of vaccine with nowhere to inject them.

There are two solutions for this, from Big Pharma's point of view:

Strategy #1 – Drum up more fear with the aim that it will boost consumer demand for vaccines. This can be accomplished by getting the mainstream media to highlight the few isolated cases of infants or children dying from H1N1 infections (all of whom are almost certainly vitamin D deficient, again).

Strategy #2 – Mandate mass vaccinations. This is unlikely to happen now that H1N1 appears to have fizzled out. The public won't go for mandatory shots unless the situation gets a whole lot worse. Of course, Big Government can always force such mandates upon the public, but in the current political climate, such an effort would be met with a backlash of public protest.

So that leaves the last option: Flushing H1N1 vaccines down the drain, and this is exactly what will eventually be done with millions of unsold doses. After all the hype, all the empty promises, all the billions of dollars spent and all the fear mongering, a huge portion of these drugs are just going to be flushed down the toilet, essentially, because that's how hospitals, pharmacies and even drug makers get rid of excess pharmaceuticals.

Polluting the environment with H1N1 vaccines
There's a huge environmental concern in all this, of course: What's the effect of dumping millions of doses of H1N1 DNA / RNA into the public sewer system? No one really knows. It's yet another grand Big Pharma experiment. And how about the chemical additives, preservatives and adjuncts added to the vaccines? What impact will all those chemicals have on the environment?

It's a startling fact that the sewage expelled by one city ends up in the public drinking water of the next city downstream. Sewage is treated, of course, to achieve EPA-regulated “safe” status before it's dumped back into the rivers, but the EPA doesn't regulate something called “DNA pollution.” DNA and RNA can be dumped into the sewage systems in virtually unlimited quantities, without any regulatory oversight (the FDA doesn't regulate drug disposal either).

If you think about it, then, this whole swine flu fiasco has been a huge scam of paying money to the drug companies in order to flush swine flu genetic material down the drain. This is the brilliance of government-led health policy, by the way: Spend good money to pollute the planet with potentially dangerous genetic material that might one day end up recombining with some other opportunistic viral candidates circulating in the wild.

What a clever way to help cause the next great pandemic, huh? It's almost a perfect recipe for vaccine repeat business: Take today's most virulent pandemic strain, replicate it in pharmaceutical labs around the world, then dump it into the environment for mass distribution. That's essentially what's happening here. It sounds insane, but it's exactly what's about to take place when the H1N1 liquidation sales are over and medical retailers just start flushing all these vaccines down the drain.

No EPA regulations
There are no EPA regulations that limit the dumping of vaccines directly into the public sewage system, by the way. Dumping excess pharmaceuticals down the drain is routine in modern medicine. Hospitals, clinics, pharmacies and patients routinely flush pharmaceuticals down the drain. This is why you can now find HRT drugs, antidepressants and blood pressure drugs in the fish near any major US city.

So many drugs are now dumped into the sewers that rivers have become Big Pharma runoff zones that poison the fish and destroy aquatic life. No wonder the world's oceans are dying — they're all being bathed in Big Pharma's chemical waste!

But that's not the end of this story: In places all across America, sewage waste is used to make fertilizer that's spread on crops. The solid sewage waste is called “biosolids” or “black gold,” and it's used by farmers and gardeners as a soil additive. What the people using this toxic sludge don't realize is that it's contaminated with Big Pharma's toxic chemicals. And soon, it may be contaminated with H1N1 vaccine material from all the millions of unused doses that pharmacies couldn't manage to peddle to consumers.

In the end, all those unused vaccines will eventually end up as crop fertilizer. It's yet another reason to avoid monoculture crops and grow your own food using biodynamic gardening methods, huh?

A previously unknown natural defence against swine flu and other viruses has been discovered which could lead to new treatments.
By Rebecca Smith, Medical Editor
18 Dec 2009

Scientists found that the virus-fighting proteins protected against swine flu when levels were increased.

When the proteins were removed the swine flu virus was able to multiply in the body unchecked.

The accidental discovery may help to explain why some people develop serious symptoms when they contract flu and others do not.

The protein, IFITM3, and although it appeared to be connected to the functioning of the immune system, how it worked and what it did had never been understood.

Professor Stephen Elledge, from Harvard Medical School in Boston, US, who led the research, said: “We've uncovered the first-line defence in how our bodies fight the flu virus.

“The protein is there to stop the flu. Every cell has a constitutive immune response that is ready for the virus. If we get rid of that, the virus has a heyday.”

The findings, reported in the journal Cell, could pave the way to new kinds of antiviral treatment, say the scientists. However, it remains to be seen what the long-term side effects of boosting levels of the proteins might be.

The news comes as Sir Liam Donaldson, Chief Medical Officer, announced the latest swine flu figures showing a further drop in cases with an estimated 9,000 new diagnoses last week.

It is thought over 800,000 people have suffered symptoms of swine flu since it first emerged in England in April.

It appears that the second wave of the disease is coming to an end but he warned that it is not know what will happen in the New Year.

Sir Liam said the NHS had coped 'brilliantly' with swine flu this year.

The vaccination programme is also progressing with three million people out of the nine million in the first priority groups already immunised.

More than 100,000 pregnant women have so far been vaccinated, Prof David Salisbury, head of immunisation said, out of around 550,000 women who are pregnant at any one time in England.

Two thirds of local NHS organisations have now reached agreements with GPs to start vaccinating children aged between six months and five years.

With swine flu spreading like wildfire, it is important to protect ourselves. Here are 10 ways it can get you.

While the governments all around the globe are making serious efforts to combat the virus, it is everybody's responsibility to take some smart decisions to keep this deadly virus at bay and prevent it from spreading.

Read on to know how you might inadvertently be playing with this deadly contagion.

1.Not Washing Your Hands
If you are not washing your hands frequently, preferably with hot water, you are putting yourself at risk.

2。 Not Sleeping Enough
Not getting proper 8-hour sleep can lower your immune system, and thus make you an easy victim of the flu.

3。 Not Drinking Enough Water
If you are not drinking 8-10 glasses of water every day, toxins remain inside your body. And lower moisture in the body also means not enough mucous production in your sinuses and hence an easy target for the virus.

4。 Not Eating Healthy
Your body needs to be strong and healthy to fight infections. Eating junk and fatty foods will only make you feel sluggish, and weaken your immune system.

5。 Having Alcohol
Alcohol can actually suppress your immune system and decrease your body resistance to viral infections like swine flu.

6。 Not Being Physically Active
Doing no exercises has a direct influence on your immune system, which will only decrease your body's blood circulation, store toxins in the body, and make you susceptible to infections, especially swine flu.

7. Not Being Careful of Public Surfaces
Being casual about the public surfaces that you touch, like using someone else's pen or even shaking hands with another person, can be dangerous.

8。 Not Avoiding Contact with Sick People
Not avoiding any physical contact with the sick, especially when they are not covering their mouth while sneezing, is a sure way of putting yourself in harm's way.

9。 Not Getting Help on Time
If you are not going to the doctor, thinking that what you got is a simple flu and not swine flu, you are making a serious mistake.

10。 Not Avoiding Crowded Areas
If you are still casual about going to crowded places like a theater or a sports stadium, you are only exposing yourself to the danger.
