H1N1 excellent advice

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dr. Vinay Goyal is an MBBS,DRM,DNB (Intensivist and Thyroid specialist),

having clinical experience of over 20 years.

 

The following message given by him; I feel it makes a lot of sense and is

important for all to know

 

The only portals of entry are the nostrils and mouth/throat. In a global

epidemic of this nature, it's almost impossible not coming into contact with

H1N1 in spite of all precautions. Contact with H1N1 is not so much of a problem

as proliferation is.

 

While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1 infection,

in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of symptoms and development of

secondary infections, some very simple steps, not fully highlighted in most

official communications, can be practiced (instead of focusing on how to stock

N95 or Tamiflu):

 

1. Frequent hand-washing (well highlighted in all official

communications).

 

 

2. " Hands-off-the-face " approach. Resist all temptations to touch any part

of face (unless you want to eat, bathe or slap).

 

3. *Gargle twice a day with warm salt water (use Listerine if you don't

trust salt). *H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the throat/nasal

cavity to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms. Simple gargling

prevents proliferation. In a way, gargling with salt water has the same effect

on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an infected one. Don't under

estimate this simple, inexpensive and powerful preventative method.

 

4. Similar to 3 above, *clean your nostrils at least once every day with

warm salt water. *Not everybody may be good at using a Neti pot, but *blowing

the nose hard once a day and swabbing both nostrils with cotton swabs dipped in

warm salt water is very effective in bringing down viral population.*

 

 

5. *Boost your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vitamin C. *If

you have to supplement with Vitamin C tablets, make sure that it also has Zinc

to boost absorption.

 

6. *Drink as much of warm liquids (tea, coffee, etc) as you can. *Drinking

warm liquids has the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse direction.

They wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach where they

cannot survive, proliferate or do any harm.

 

I suggest you pass this on to your entire e-list; you never know who might

pay attention to it - and STAY ALIVE because of it -
