Swine flu is caused by influenza viruses that regularly cause outbreaks in pigs. The 2009 outbreak derived from human, avian, and swine influenza strains. Symptoms include fever, muscle aches, coughing, and vomiting. Historical pandemics like the 1918 Spanish Flu killed millions. Homeopathic treatments were found to have much lower mortality rates compared to allopathic treatments during the 1918 flu pandemic. To reduce risk of infection, avoid contact with sick individuals and practice good hygiene. Remaining calm and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help boost immunity.

4. What is Swine Flu / H1N1 Influenza?
Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by
type A influenza virus that regularly causes outbreaks of influenza in
pigs. Swine flu viruses cause high levels of illness and low death rates
in pigs.Swine influenzaviruses may circulate among swine
throughout the year, but most outbreaks occur during the late fall and
winter months similar to outbreaks in humans.
5. The 2009 flu outbreak in humans is due to a new strain of influenza A
virus subtype H1N1 that derives in part from human influenza, avian
influenza, and two separate strains of swine influenza. The origins of
this new strain are unknown. It passes with apparent ease from human
to human, an ability attributed to an as-yet unidentified mutation. The
strain in most cases causes only mild symptoms and the infected
person makes a full recovery without requiring medical attention and
without the use of antiviral medicines.
6. The most significant flu pandemic occurred in1918/1919. The global
mortality rate from the 1918/1919 pandemic is not known, but is
estimated at 2.5 to 5% of those who were infected died. With 20% or
more of the world population suffering from the disease to some extent,
a case-fatality ratio this high would mean that about 0.5-1% or 50 million
to 100 million people worldwide were killed. In1957, an Asian flu
pandemic infected some 45 million
7. Americans and killed 70,000. Eleven years later, lasting from1968 to
1969, the Hong Kong flu pandemic afflicted 50 million Americans and
caused 33,000 deaths, costing approximately $3.9 billion. In1976,
about 500 soldiers became infected with swine flu over a period of a few
weeks.
The scare and panic about the bird flu and swine flu have occurred
because people now know what a simple flu can lead to and are afraid
of the consequences - not just to the human capital but also to the
global financial health.

15. about the use of homeopathy in the flu epidemic. Dr. T A McCann, from
Dayton, Ohio, reported that 24,000 cases of flu treated allopathically
had a mortality rate of 28.2% while 26,000 cases of flu treated
homeopathically had a mortality rate of 1.05%. This last figure was
supported by Dean W.A. Pearson of Philadelphia (Hahnemann College)
who collected 26,795 cases of flu treated with homeopathy with the
above result.
16. The most common remedy used was Gelsemium, with occasional cases
needing Bryonia and Eupatorium reported. Dr. Herbert A. Roberts from
Derby, CT, said that 30 physicians in Connecticut responded to his
request for data. They reported 6,602 cases with 55 deaths, which is
less than 1%. Dr. Roberts was working as a physician on a troop ship
during WWI. He had 81 cases of flu on the way over
to Europe. He reported, "All recovered
and were landed. Every man
received homeopathic treatment. One ship lost 31
18. * Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way.
* Try to avoid close contact with sick people.
* Influenza is thought to spread mainly person-to-person through
coughing or sneezing of infected people.
* If you get sick, CDC recommends that you stay home from work or
school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
19. Don't get stressed by the fear of getting the swine flu. Stress
can undermine your immune system. The flu doesn't kill
everyone and in most cases may prove benign. Mild
exercise, meditation or yoga and healthy nutritious diet can
help keep your immune system in good condition and able to
ward of any infections. Not every 'infection' becomes a full
blown 'disease'. Most infections are taken care of by your
body even before you know that you were infected. Most
infections affect gravely those people who are vitally
deranged. So instead of panicking about the flu, stay calm
and focus on becoming a healthy 'you'.
