What about the FluMist (Vaccine)? This is continued from Part Three: Tamiflu. The FluMist® is the first flu vaccine of its kind - its appeal lies in the way it is administered - no painful shots and it's breathed in. An intranasal influenza vaccine approved by the FDA for HEALTHY PEOPLE between 2 to 49, all you need to do is stick it up one of your nostrils! lol
How effective is it? How safe is it?
The FluMist® spray mimics what sneezing and coughing does - something that WHO and CDC say that can SPREAD flu (cover your mouth, wash your hands, etc). And the FluMist® spray contains live biological virus, which means the live attenuated (weakened) virus in it, CAN BE transmitted to anyone within the first 3 weeks of Relenza use. In fact if you try to spray it in the air - VIOLA! - you have the H1N1 Flu virus around you in the air, in an instant!
The FluMist®'s leaflet says "FluMist® recipients should avoid close contact with immunocompromised individuals for at least 21 days."

This is continued from Part Two: Relenza.
TAMIFLU also known as Oseltamivir, is a prescription capsule/pill, used to treat symptoms of influenza. I say "symptoms" because sometimes root cause of symptoms may not be totally eradicated after symptoms have subsided.
Because totally healthy people were and are still getting these Tamiflu meds and suffering from its side-effects, prescription medicine like Tamiflu, are being used like some sort of preventive therapy. That's scary!
About one in 20 children who are down with flu, vomit on the same day after taking Tamiflu.
The sick AND the healthy SUFFER from the side-effects of Tamiflu.
I found that there are more than 250 ratings for Tamiflu via AskaPatient, and DrugLib confirmed at least 90 deaths from Tamiflu!

A flu can be a cold while a cold may not be flu. This is because a cold only affects the upper respiratory system. When a cold is accompanied by other symptoms like headache or aches, it can then be described as a flu.
In this blog entry, I will talk about flu since it is very common for a cold to develop/progress to flu. What Conventional Medicine prescribe:
- Neo-synephrine or Afrin (taken for 3 days). Those with history of heart or cardiac problems are not to take these.
- Saline Nasal Spray - prevents nasal obstruction
- Dextromethorphan - if a cough is present. However, this is not supposed to be taken by children under 5 years of age, nor by those with asthma.
Other common prescription drugs may be recommended. None are without side-effects.
I also notice that a large percentage of doctors (in Singapore) do not look into patients' eyes (iris) anymore, like they used to shine my eyes with a torch! Also sometimes they do not bother to take blood pressure of those under 50. Anyone has input why this is so?

[ Skip ahead to: Oxymoron Statements :: Tamiflu and Relenza News :: Who said what?? ] #1. The vaccine manufacturers and pharmaceutical corps are considering "alternative delivery routes that could increase convenience and efficacy". This means that your vaccines may be needle-less, may come in in oral syrup or in the form of a skin patch. I would not be suprised if future vaccines come in the form of micro-chip transplants. They will try to entice government bodies with reports of "corporate strategy overview" and "manufacturing capacity".
#2. Named key players in recent H1N1 Flu Vaccine Summits: Solvay, CSL (will focus on Australia and beyond AstraZeneca/MedImmune (will only focus on U.S.A. market), GlaxoSmithKline (3rd most profitable vaccine-maker), Novartis, Baxter (named "most productive" vaccine-maker) and Sanofi Pasteur (leader in vaccine technology)
#3. Pipeline (produced in "secret") influenza antivirals include: - Peramivir (Biocryst, Shionogi, Green Cross)
