Bird Flu : Why are all people not infected?

I wonder iof this goes back to the post made here a while back

about vitamin D being in short supply amongst flu victims. Children

and young adults have growing bones, so they would need higher amounts

of vitamin D. Inference is not evidence, by any means. But simply

something for further study.

How do some exposed to bird flu stay healthy?Doctors puzzled why disease attacks mostly healthy children, young adultsHANOI, Vietnam - One of the many mysteries of bird flu is that it has not infected more people like Ha Thi Quynh. The woman in her late 30s holds up a plump, live goose by its feet at Hanoi’s largest poultry market. Although blood, feathers and bird droppings cling to her pants and rubber sandals, she doesn’t worry about bird flu. “I have no problem,” she says. Quynh has driven a motorbike loaded with about 35 chickens and geese on a two-hour trip to the market every day for the past 10 years. “If customers ask me to slaughter the chicken, then I will do it.” Quynh and the others at Long Bien market say they’re living proof bird flu is hard for people to catch. They work without fear or protective gear in a place where fresh blood runs through open gutters and stray feathers glide through the humid air, thick with the stench of death. They say not a single person from the market has ever gotten sick or died from the H5N1 bird flu virus.Researchers agree. They’re just not sure why these people have stayed healthy. Farmers at large poultry facilities and those who transport, sell and slaughter birds daily typically have not been infected since the virus began spreading through Asia in late 2003. Even those who slaughtered hundreds of sick birds when the virus was raging, did not fall ill. It’s a question that’s left scientists guessing. Why has the disease attacked mostly healthy children and young adults, who may have had a few chickens pecking in their back yards or villages? Is there some sort of immunity acquired by commercial farmers and others who have worked around the poultry for so long, or is it some other reason? “The honest truth is that on a lot of answers to these questions, your guess is almost as good as mine,” said Dr. Jeremy Farrar, director of Oxford University’s clinical research unit at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases in Ho Chi Minh City. “It may be ... because of the nature of the way that people prepare chickens in their houses. It could be because there’s some difference in the immune response between younger people and older people.” http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/9828617/

Jagannath, the " high risk group " doesn't all become infected because the

grouping is only based on age, not the individual's immune response.

 

 

Here's an example: all centenarians have an unusually high level of the

body's master antioxidant and healing agent, glutathione. They experienced less illness. Glutathione happens to suppress infection of all types and low glutathione stimulates infection.

 

 

Here's another: People on a high-carbohydrate diet suppress their immune system by about half for a period of about 5 hours. Of course, such an unhealthy diet is not eaten by all members of the " high risk " group.

 

 

And another: some people exercise and exercise increases growth hormone HGH release, which in turn heals the body. The thymus gland can be maintained or recovered in size and function with HGH elevations. The thymus nurtures and trains the bulk of the white blood cells, and normally it shrivels with age and reduced HGH, particularly with a high-carb diet, which reduces HGH as insulin rises. Of course if part of the immune system is weak it compromizes the rest, and this would put you in a higher risk category.

 

 

There are other reasons of course, some relating to nutrition and some to toxin load. Details for most of it are on my site. Prevention is key, never mind the arbitrary grouping the number crunchers put you in.
