Fight off H1N1 without resorting to Tamiflu
2009-11-05

As I said back in September, I think all the hype surrounding H1N1 has more to do with selling drugs than keeping people healthy. Here‘s one reason why...

A couple of years ago when the Avian flu began to make headlines, the Swiss drug company Roche started cranking out barrels of Tamiflu. But the avian flu turned out to be a dud. And no one bought the drug.

Too bad for Roche, right? They had all this inventory of Tamiflu just sitting on the shelf with no one to buy it. Then, along came H1N1. What a windfall for Roche! In fact, it looks like this will be a banner year for the company. They expect sales of Tamiflu will triple to almost $2 billion.

Ease symptoms without serious side effects


But here‘s the problem. Just because Roche is having an inventory sale, I still wouldn‘t recommend it to my worst enemy. Why? Just read this from the drug‘s web site:

People with the flu, particularly children and adolescents, may be at an increased risk of self injury and confusion shortly after taking TAMIFLU and should be closely monitored for signs of unusual behavior.

Give me a break...‘self injury‘ and ‘unusual behavior‘? Those are pretty funky side effects for a drug that only acts to shorten the symptoms you‘ll most likely get over in a few days anyway.

If you ask me, I‘d skip Roche‘s inventory sale. Instead, focus on prevention with 5,000 mg of D3 daily. And if you do come down with H1N1, Echinacea and astragalus can help to shorten the duration without the risk of crazy side effects.
