RE: Swine Flu - Vitamin C.

[Guest guest]

This supplement was recommended by a doctor. Here is his

recommendation of dosage from an email I received. I bought a bottle of N-A-C at

Whole Foods just in case (Jarrow brand). I am unfamiliar with Oscillococinum.

Here are some excerpts from that email:

> - N-Acetyl-Cysteine -- a nutritional supplement available

at the

health food store, has been shown to prevent or

lessen the severity of influenza. I suggest 1200mg, twice

a day for

adults, and 600mg twice a day in kids over 12. It would

be hard to get

kids under 12 to take it, but you could try opening the

capsules and

putting it on yogurt. For 40 pounds and up, 300-600 mg

twice a day, for

less than 40 pounds, half that.

> Oscillococinum, a homeopathic remedy, has been

vindicated as quite

effective in a large clinical trial in Europe , with an

H1N1 variant.

> - It appears that this flu produces a distinctive

" hoarseness " in many

victims. The symptoms, in general, match other flu's;

namely, sore

throat, body aches, headache, cough, and fever. What is

not too common

in regular flu cycles is vomiting and diarrhea which

seems to be

associated with this, further dehydrating victims.

Some have all these

symptoms, while others may have only one or two.
