BIRD FLU....SWINE FLU...WHAT IS NEXT?

I arrived in Vietnam as the Bird Flu hit. A ban on live bird imports had taken effect in many parts of the world. Vietnam was the hardest hit country. Local farmers who raised poultry on a small scale had to destroy their flocks. We were advised not to eat eggs or chicken. The restaurants, even Kentucky Fried Chicken had crossed chicken off the menu. Everyone was very careful with sanitation washing hands and avoiding crowds when possible. I was so happy that I had prepared myself with Shaklee's Nutriferon. Nutriferon increases the production of interferon in the body. A powerful breakthrough in immune system science. Fortunately, I had extra with me to share with my friends: otherwise we might have gotten really sick. Finding medical help would not have been easy.

Now we have the Swine Flu with a lot more information on dealing with a virus infection that can cause a wide range of symptoms including fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headaches, chills and fatigue. Some people have reported diarrhea and vomiting. Those with chronic medical conditions are more likely to develop sever illness.

The Flu spreads in the following ways:

When you touch respiratory droplets on another or an object or you own
mouth or nose.

Do I Use A Face Mask? Yes, do so and spend the least amount of time possible
in close contact with infected person.

Stay home for 7 days after the start of the illness and fever is gone.
Get plenty of rest.
