Zicam works wonders for me.  Helps you get over your cold something like 3X faster.  I usually get bronchitis every year around the same time and when I started to feel it coming on I started using Zicam and never got sick sick.  I also drink quite a bit of cranberry juice every day which helps in the vitimin department.  Take a multi-vitamin every day and wash your hands.  I saw a study recently that said that washing your hands was the top way to avoid getting sick so maybe it'll help you from re-infecting yourself.  \n\nA shot of whiskey with honey works for my husband (well, at least it shuts him up LOL!!)

No. No they can't. \nBird flu can only be passed from a chicken to a human (or mammal) by deeply inhaling some bird poo particles. Eating an egg is not going to give you flu. The same goes for eating the actual chicken - as it is you have to cook it above 100 degrees C to make sure it has no samonella, and H5N1 will not survive that sort of heat.\n\nCheck out www.bbc.co.uk then go to the news page and search for bird flu.

REST, fluids, vicks, a vaporizor w/ vicks in it, fluids, rest and did I mention fluids?  \n\nAnother thing I love using when I get sick is garlic.  I take a garlic clove and slice it into pill size slivers and swallow like a pill.  That backed up w/ Vitamin C and zinc and you should be back on your feet in no time.  The garlic kills the virus and the vitamin c and zinc boost your immunities.

Currently to catch bird flu you need to inhale or ingest some bird poo. A microscopic particle of poo containing the virus is all it needs. The reason for the massive cull is to try and prevent more birds from becoming infected, becasue the more birds it is in, the greater the chance of a mammal such as ourselves or pigs of being infected. To mutate into a deadly pandemic, an H5N1 virus has to infect a cell at the same time as a mammalian flu virus has infected the cell. \n\nSo by destroying the birds in massive culling programs, governments are limiting the possibility of this happening.\n\nIt is safe to eat infected meat as long as it is cooked properly (over 70 degrees for 20min)

Yes I have used natural anti-virals/bacterials for years and they work great. I don't fear the bird flu, westnile, etc. You have to take charge of your health because if you are counting on the government to help you, you are gonna die.

Rylog,\n Birdflu infected upto 133 members as per some records. This is only infected when they got in touch with those birds or their excreta.  But the whole world is getting worried if it across from human to human. Upto now all infections are from bird to human, not human to human. Example for human to human infections are winter flu, but we got vaccine for that. Where as for birdflue, there is no vaccine as such. Roche, a company  which manufactures TamiFle might help for this. Scientists are still working on the vaccine. \n\nHope this helps..

Research natural anti-virals like colloidal silver,olive leaf extract,grapefruit seed extract,and oregano oil. These are very potent and have been around for centuries. You don't hear about them because the big drug companies can't patent a natural substance and therefore ignore and downplay their effectiveness. Take charge of your health.

Actually bird flu is affecting people. Well over 200 people world wide have been infected with the virus. The fatality rate is over 50%, and it has been spreading across Asia, Europe and Africa.\n\nMany of these infections have resulted from close contact with poultry, but there are several clusters of infection where the virus has been spread from person to person. \n\nOne recent cluster was on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. A woman contracted the disease and it spread from her to seven members of her family. Seven of the eight family members died.\n\nRight now we are seeing only limited person to person transmission. The fear is that the virus will mutate so that person to person transmission will happen easily and we will have a pandemic.\n\nEverytime a person gets avian flu (bird flu) there is a chance of it mutating so that it can be early spread.\n\nWe do not have a vaccine for this particular virus. They can't start working on a vaccine until it does mutate and it will take about 6-8 months to begin to produce vaccine.\n\nThe antiviral medicine Tamiflu may reduce the symptoms and reduce the chance of death, but there isn't enough Taniflu. At this point it looks as though medical personnel may get the first doses so that they can continue to take care of patients who have the flu.\n\nThe government has asked people to prepare for the flu by stocking supplies for our families in case we are asked to  practice "social distancing." That would be a quarantine where people are told to stay home to reduce the spread of the disease. Schools would close, there would be no church services, concerts, meetings, etc.\n\nWe are asked to have food, water, medicine, medical supplies, etc.\n\nIf you are interested in knowing more about bird flu, a good source of information is http://www.avianflutalk.com/  You will find current news, discussion, information about bird flu, and people who will be happy to answer any questions that you may have.

If you do not control his runny nose, (post nasal drip) it WILL become a wonderful highway for bacteria that  causes bronchitis.  Please ask your doctor what he recommends.  I would use benedryl, which is an antihistamine.  Then I would dust, vacuum thoroughtly, and get any pets and pet hair out of the house if possible;if not bathe the animals to cut down the hair and dander.  Give him lots of fluids to keep the mucous thin and therefore will not carry as much bacteria.  He must be miserable.  God Bless.

If you keep your parakeet isolated from other birds, it should have a very minimal chance of contracting the disease. The bird flu is spread by contact. It is possible that it might contract it from contact with you or your family. Wash your hands before coming in contact with the cage or the bird. There is also the possibility of having it on your clothes or shoes, but there is not a lot you can do about that. It will also help to keep the cage clean. Clean it daily. Also do not let the bird out of the cage. It might pick up the virus from around the house.

I am afraid that the virus that causes bird flu will mutate and become airborne. That would be like the black plague. However, as of now, there is no need to panic. Even when the disease enters the US, for as long as there is no human to human transfer, just fowl to human, there is no need to panic. Just like any virus, the disease is self-limiting. What we have to do to prevent it is to boost our immune system and keep our bodies healthy

Aromatherapy is the use of volatile plant oils, including essential oils, for psychological and physical well-being. Although the term aromatherapy was not used until the 20th Century, the foundations of aromatherapy date back thousands of years. The use of essential oils in particular date back nearly one thousand years. \n\nThe Chinese may have been one of the first cultures to use aromatic plants for well-being. Their practices involved burning incense to help create harmony and balance.
