Today we are (more and more|more} vulnerable from the various mutations of the flu virus. initially we had alarms over the bird flu virus, but recently swine flu has become the major concern. Swine flu is of more concern than bird flu was. It was feared that bird flu could change into a form that could infect humans, apart from a handful of cases, this has not materialized. Swine flu is of much more concern, it is able to spread from human to human making it a very serious threat.

Swine flu, or to be more correct influenza A (H1N1), is a disease that effects pigs, it is caused by a flu virus. Swine flu outbreaks in pigs is not uncommon but is rarely fatal. Swine flu has not normally infected humans, although it can happen occasionally.

Swine flu is extremely dangerous as it is a new type of the flu virus. It is dangerous because no one has been exposed to this particular strain before, therefore no one has built up any immunity. It is our inbuilt immunity that prevents diseases from becoming life threatening, with no immunity to this strain of the virus we are in serious danger from the virus. Everyone is vulnerable, including healthy adults and teenagers as well as young children and the elderly.

The real worry is what occurs when the flu season starts in the winter. It is then when the flu virus may spread quickly causing a flu pandemic with possibly over half the population being affected.

Swine flu symptoms are similar to the symptoms of ordinary flu. These can include a sudden,sudden onset of fever, cough or a shortness of breath. Other symptoms that may present themselves include headaches, sore throat, aching muscles, chills, sneezing, a runny nose, loss of appetite and tiredness.

Precautions to take Anyone with the symptoms of a cold or flu should to take a few easy, but most important precautions. The virus is passed between humans from the droplets from the nose and mouth when someone coughs or sneezes. This is the way viruses such as swine flu are passed from person to person. Covering your face with your hands when you sneeze or cough isn’t enough. The germs simply sit on your hands, and everything you handle afterwards becomes contaminated. Anyone touching the same place as you will pick up the germs and will then risk becoming infected themselves. Always use a handkerchief or tissue. A tissue is better, this should then be disposed of safely as soon as possible, try to use a fresh tissue if you sneeze or cough again.

There are currently no vaccinations to stop anyone catching the swine flu virus. The swine flu virus is a new type of virus and is not the same as ordinary flu. Therefore the annual vaccination against the usual seasonal flu is not effective against swine flu. Even when the strain of flu causing swine flu is identified, it will take several months to produce. By which time, it may well have mutated into a different strain.

Currently the only effective treatment against swine flu is Tamiflu. Tamiflu is not guaranteed to prevent flu, but when a person has been exposed to another individual who is carrying the flu virus, Tamiflu can help prevent the virus making a person ill. If Tamiflu is taken within 2 days of contracting the flu virus, it can help to stop the virus spreading throughout the body, thereby reducing the symptoms and associated risk. Governments worldwide are stocking up on Tamiflu, but the supplies will naturally be used to treat key workers and individuals before treating the general population.

You can buy Tamiflu online, so if the situation occurs you can protect yourself and your family. Although it cannot be emphasized enough, Tamiflu has to be taken as soon as possible if it is to be effective, any delays in treatment will reduce the effectiveness of Tamiflu. If you think you may be at a greater risk because of your situation, such as For example living in a busy city with a large population or working in a busy open plan office, then it may be wise to buy Tamiflu before the flu season begins. If you live in the country and don’t have a close contact with many people then of course there will be less chance of getting the flu virus.

Remember that swine flu is a worldwide problem. If a pandemic outbreak becomes global it is possible that supplies of Tamiflu may not be great enough to meet a huge global demand.

Until a vaccine is discovered and produced in the quantities needed, Tamiflu is the most effective treatment for swine flu.

For some amazing reason a lot of friends have been asking how our Business Opportunity Tahitian Noni International is doing. Expecting that the economic downturn would mean bad news they are surprised when that is not the case . Tahitian Noni International has sold over 100 million bottles of TAHITIAN NONI® Juice. Plus they have just introduced a new product called TAHITIAN NONI® n-Core.

Many firms in the direct selling industry have been reconsidering their priorities. Hardly a day goes by without news of some company or other finding new ways to reduce overhead, increase sales, motivate their direct sales representatives. This is just normal practice in the direct selling industry . It seems to me that over the years network marketers have always been changing and adapting new strategies . The current economic downturn simply put more urgency into the reviews of their priorities.

In the final analysis the most important reason direct sellers or network marketers seem to survive is that their business strategy is based on very large scales of economies when it comes to their sales representatives. Having 1 million motivated sales reps will always trump shopping malls even if they are well managed. Plus the product consultants are volunteers and simply cannot be sacked.

Our business has grown and shows no end in sight. We expect that Tahitian Noni International new product TAHITIAN NONI® n-Core is going to be as successful as the original. Since there is no shortage of Morinda Citrifolia in Tahiti, no shortage of opportunity to introduce others to the benefits of the Morinda Citrifolia we certainly expect to continue to grow and prosper.

Products come and products go. Some network marketing firms start-up operations and some have reached the end of their life cycle. This is normal business as they teach it at Harvard . But if you are going to begin a home based business, in order to succeed simply ensure that you join a company and have a personal sponsor that are looking towards the future with confidence. Tahitian Noni International was our choice many years ago and would be today . We highly recommend it.
