Procedures Recommended by Physicians to Avoid AH1N1 (Swine Flu)

The only portals of entry of the H1N1 virus are the nostrils and mouth/throat. In a global epidemic of this nature, it’s almost impossible not†to come 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).† This is not a joke. †Make it a ritual habit.†Make it part of your daily routine. Do†not be lazy!
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†two to three†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 underestimate this simple, inexpensive, and powerful preventative method.
4. Similar to†No. 3, clean your nostrils at least once every day with warm salt water.†Not everybody may be good at†using a Netipot, but blowing the nose hard once a day and swabbing both nostrils with cotton buds 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 (guava, kiwifruit, cantaloupe and honeydew melons,†and citrus fruits). If you have to supplement with Vitamin C tablets, make sure the tablet you take also has†zinc to boost absorption.
6. Drink as much of warm liquids as you can. Drinking warm liquids has the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse direction.†Warm liquids wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach where they cannot survive, proliferate, or do any harm.
