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 influenza viruses
may circulate among swine throughout the year, but most outbreaks
occur during the late fall and winter months similar to outbreaks
in humans.
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.
Why is there so much panic about Swine Flu? After all it's
just a flu!
The most significant flu pandemic occurred in 1918/1919.
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.
In 1957, an Asian flu pandemic infected some 45
million Americans and killed 70,000. Eleven years later, lasting
from 1968 to 1969, the Hong Kong flu pandemic afflicted
50 million Americans and caused 33,000 deaths, costing approximately
$3.9 billion. In 1976, 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.
Swine Flu / H1N1 Influenza Symptoms
The symptoms of swine flu in people are expected to be similar
to the symptoms of regular human seasonal influenza and include
fever, lethargy, lack of appetite and coughing. Some people with
swine flu also have reported runny nose, sore throat, nausea, vomiting
and diarrhea. Symptoms of Swine flu may include
all or some of the following:
- Fever
- Muscle aches
- Lethargy
- Coughing
- Headache
- Sore throat
- Runny nose
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Lack of appetite
Complications Of Swine Influenza
Those at higher risk of catching influenza in general include those
with the following:
* Age of 65 years or older
* Chronic health problems (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease)
* Pregnant women
* Young children
But the past epidemics and pandemics of flu have shown that during
pandemics most people who succumb are healthy young adults.
Complications of Swine Flu can include:
* Pneumonia
* Bronchitis
* Sinus infections
* Ear infections
* Death
Transmission of Swine Flu (How does Swine Flu spread?)
As with other flu like illnesses, Swine influenza is spread as
follows:
- Coughing
- Sneezing
- Kissing
- Touching infected objects
- Touching nose, mouth and/or eyes with infected hands
- Swine flu does not spread by eating pork.
Treatment of Swine Flu / H1N1 Influenza
Swine Flu Vaccination / Swine Flu Shot
The protective ability of influenza vaccines depends primarily
on the closeness of the match between the vaccine virus and the
epidemic virus, so the presence of non reactive H3N2 SIV variants
suggests that current commercial vaccines might not effectively
protect pigs from infection with a majority of H3N2 viruses. The
current vaccine against the seasonal influenza strain H1N1 is thought
unlikely to provide protection. The director of CDC's National
Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases said that the United
States' cases were found to be made up of genetic elements from
four different flu viruses—North American swine influenza,
North American avian influenza, human influenza A virus subtype
H1N1, and swine influenza virus typically found in Asia and Europe.
What You Can Do to Prevent H1N1 Influenza / Swine Flu?
There are everyday actions people can take to stay healthy.
* Cover your nose and mouth with a tissue when you cough or sneeze.
Throw the tissue in the trash after you use it.
* Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you
cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hands cleaners are also effective.
* 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.
Above all. 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'.
Natural Remedy
Homeopathy Remedies for Swine Flu / H1N1
Influenza
Why Homeopathy?
Homeopathy was very successful in dealing
with the 1918-19 flu pandemic. Here is a quote from the famous historian
Julian Winston:
Perhaps the most recent use of homeopathy in a major epidemic
was during the Influenza Pandemic of 1918. The Journal of the
American Institute for Homeopathy, May, 1921, had a long article
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.
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 on the way."

Homeopathic Remedies
Considering that the Swine Flu virus produces symptoms similar
to the human influenza virus, the following homeopathy medicines
may prove useful in cases of swine influenza:
#Gelsemium. [Gels]
This remedy corresponds to the commencement of the trouble, when
the patient is weak, tired and aches throughout the body.
It removes speedily the intense aching and muscular soreness. There
is constant chilliness and the patient hugs the
fire; the fever is less acute than that of Aconite, and the cough
is hard and painful. There are paroxysms of sneezing with
excoriating discharge, and great torpor and apathy. Extensive experience
with this remedy in the great Epidemic of 1918 proved its usefulness.
Simple cases were speedily cured. Aconite will
sometimes prove the better remedy for children, but the drug will
never be a prominent one in influenza. Still it may be prescribed
when indicated; it will, perhaps, soothe and moderate the subsequent
attack, but its action is not quick here as in simple fevers, as
we have to deal with a blood affection.
#Baptisia.
Influenza with marked gastro-intestinal symptoms
may need this remedy, especially when there are putrid diarrhoea
stools. Clarke considers this remedy the nearest specific for the
disease; he prefers the 30th potency. Hughes also praises it, but
uses it in the 1x and 2x dilutions, which seem to have more extensive
testimony as to their efficacy.
#Eupatorium perfoliatum.
This remedy has much soreness and aching of the entire body;
hoarseness and cough, with great soreness of the larynx
and upper respiratory tract. Coryza with thirst.
Drinking causes vomiting. The cough is a very shattering one, hurts
the head and chest, and as in Drosera, the patient holds the chest
with the hands. The breakbone pains are characteristic of the remedy.
Add to these symptoms acute bilious derangements, and it is all
the more indicated. Many physicians rely on this remedy in influenza
/ flu almost exclusively in the early stages.
#Sabadilla. [Sabad]
Sneezing is the great keynote of this remedy. Sneezing and lachrymation
on going into the open air. The throat is swollen and the pain is
worse on empty swallowing; the sneezing is excessive, shaking the
whole body. Shudderings, with gooseflesh chills creeping upwards,
are also prominent symptoms. Frontal headache, dryness of mouth,
without thirst and cough, worse on lying down, are additional symptoms.
It suits well many cases of the catarrhal form of flu; other remedies
having sneezing are Cyclamen and Euphorbia.
#Arsenicum. [Ars]
This remedy covers more phases of flu than perhaps any other remedy.
Hughes believes that it will cut short an attack, especially when
there is a copious flow, prostration and paroxysmal coryza.
Its periodicity makes it suitable to epidemics,
and it suits the early symptoms when the affection is in the upper
portion of the respiratory tract. The burning dryness and copious
watery excoriating secretion and the involvement of the conjunctiva
are unmistakable indications. Langour and prostration are prominent
symptoms.
#Arsenicum iodide.
Chills, flushes of heat and severe fluent coryza, discharge
irritating and corrosive, sneezing and prostration. It
corresponds to true influenza and is highly recommended by Hale.
Sanguinaria nitrate is especially valuable when
the trachea and larynx are affected. Phytolacca is
specific when the throat is inflamed and spotty, with great hardness
and tenderness of the glands.
#Dulcamara. [Dulc]
This is one of our best remedies in the acute form; the
eyes are suffused, the throat is sore and the cough hurts because
of the muscular soreness. If brought on by damp, cold changes
in the weather, so much the surer is Dulcamara indicated.
#Bryonia.
The trouble here is largely bronchial and going downward. When a
person is very grumpy and feels miserable with the flu, wanting
only to lie still and be left alone, this remedy is likely to be
useful. Headache, muscle aches, and cough or stomach pain may be
the major symptoms. Everything feels worse from even the slightest
motion. The person’s mouth usually is dry, with a thirst for
large cold drinks.
#Phosphorus may be indicated, especially when
the trouble moves towards the chest. It is a very useful remedy
for the debility following la grippe, as it is usually of the pure
nervous type. It is the great post-influenza "tonic."
#Rhus toxicodendron. [Rhus-t]
Influenza, with severe aching in all the bones, sneezing and coughing.
The cough is worse evenings and is caused by a tickling behind the
upper part of the sternum. Especially is it useful in cases brought
on by exposure to dampness. There is much prostration and depression,
and the patient may have some symptoms which are suspicious as pointing
towards typhoid fever, such as burning tongue, stupor and delirium.
Aching pains and nightly restlessness are keynotes symptoms. Causticum,
like both Rhus and Eupatorium, has a tired, sore, bruised sensation
all over the body and soreness in the chest when coughing, but it
has in addition involuntary urination when coughing.
#Allium cepa. [All-c]
Profuse catarrhal coryza; the nose runs freely, there is sneezing,
irritability cough, the face is swollen and looks inflamed. Camphora.
This remedy is often sufficient at the outset to cut short an attack,
or at least modify the severity.
#Sticta. [Stict]
Nasal catarrh; headache, thirst, nightly expectoration, great watering
of eyes, running at nose, hoarseness of voice, frontal headache
and depression of whole system. Tuberculous subjects attacked by
influenza. "There is no better remedy," says Dr. Fornias,"for
the incessant wearing, racking cough of this class of patients."
Tuberculinum is an excellent prevention of recurring attacks of
influenza / flu in those who have annual attacks.
#Ipecac
Adapted to cases where the gastric symptoms predominate; tongue
clean or slightly coated. Nausea: with profuse
saliva; vomiting of white, glairy mucus in large quantities, without
relief; sleepy afterwards; worse from stooping. Low thirst.
Cough: dry spasmodic, constricted, asthmatic. Difficult breathing
from least exercise; violent dyspnoea, with wheezing and anxiety
about the stomach. Cough, with rattling of mucus in bronchi when
inspiring; threatened suffocation from mucus. Pains as if bones
were all torn to pieces.
#Veratrum album
Adapted to diseases with rapid sinking of the vital forces; complete
prostration; collapse. Cold perspiration on the forehead (over entire
body, Tab. ) with nearly all complaints. Thirst: intense, unquenchable,
for large quantities of very cold water and acid drinks; wants everything
cold. Diarrhoea: frequent, greenish, watery, gushing: mixed with
flakes: cutting colic, with cramps commencing in hands and feet
and spreading all over; prostrating, after fright; < least movement;
with vomiting, cold sweat on forehead during and prostration after.
Vomiting: excessive with nausea and great prostration: < by drinking
( Ars. ); by least motion ( Tab. ); great weakness after.
The Current Swine Flu Epidemic or Possible
Influenza Pandemic
It has been reported that in the current Swine influenza epidemic,
the gastrointestinal symptoms (Nausea, Vomiting) are pronounced.
Considering this remedies like Baptisia, Arsenic-album or Ipecac
may work as Genus epidemicus or as prophylactic treatment for the
current Swine influenza epidemic.
How to differentiate in these flu medicines?
If the patient has mild flu like symptoms (runny nose and watery
eyes etc) but no other peculiar symptom but is anxious if it might
be swine flu - think about Aconite.
If the flu patient is listless, prostrated, indifferent,
has offensive diarrhoea and the parts rested upon feel sore
and bruised - think about Baptisia.
If the flu patient is restless, anxious or fearful,
thirsty but drinks small quantities and often, prostrated,
diarrhoea after eating or drinking and nausea on seeing/smelling
food, burning pains - think about Arsenicum-album.
If the nausea is more pronounced, the patient is thirstless
and has pain felt in bones - think about Ipecac.
Also Ipecac should be thought of if a flu patient is developing
or has developed broncho-pneumonia.
If the gastrointestinal symptoms are not marked but the patient
has deep pains as if bones are aching - think about Eupatorium
perf.
If the flu patient is feeling dull, dizzy, drowsy,
has low thirst, feels chilly, esp in back - think
about Gelsemium.
Lessons from the 1918/1919 Flu Pandemic
Many people believe that the current virus strain closely matches
the 1918/1919 flu pandemic, although it is not exactly like it.
In the 1918/1919 flu pandemic, people without symptoms could be
stricken suddenly and within hours be too weak to
walk; many died the next day. Symptoms included a blue tint to
the face and coughing up blood caused by severe obstruction
of the lungs. In some cases, the virus caused an uncontrollable
hemorrhaging that filled the lungs, and patients drowned in their
body fluids (pneumonia). In others, the flu caused frequent loss
of bowel control and the victim would die from losing critical
intestinal lining and from blood loss.
If such symptoms present themselves in the current pandemic, the
remedies that may prove useful would be Arsenic-album, Cantharis,
Phosphorus, Cuprum-met, Camphora, Veratrum-album,
Ipecac or Carbo-veg.
Ars-alb, Phosphorus, Ipecac and Carbo-veg seem to have a more pronounced
action on lungs/respiratory symptoms in the above mentioned symptom
group. Cantharis, Phosphorus, and Carbo-veg seem to cover the bloody
stools better. Camphor and Verat-alb cover the acute collapse with
bluish discoloration better.
Note
Homeopathic remedies need strict individualization and are given
as specifically prepared, non-toxic, micro-dose homeopathic potencies.
Please consult a qualified homeopath before taking any homeopathic
remedy for Swine flu / influenza

Swine Flu Updates from WHO
29/04/2009 - The human swine flu outbreak continues
to grow in the United States and internationally. Today, CDC reports
additional cases of confirmed swine influenza and a number of hospitalizations
of swine flu patients. Internationally, the situation is more serious
too, with additional countries reporting confirmed cases of swine
flu. In response to the intensifying outbreak, the World Health
Organization raised the worldwide pandemic alert level to Phase
4. A Phase 4 alert is characterized by confirmed person-to-person
spread of a new influenza virus able to cause “community-level”
outbreaks.” The increase in the pandemic alert phase indicates
that the likelihood of a pandemic has increased.
30/04/2009 - WHO raised the pandemic threat level
to 5. Phase 5 is characterized by human-to-human
spread of the virus into at least two countries in one WHO region.
While most countries will not be affected at this stage, the declaration
of Phase 5 is a strong signal that a pandemic is imminent and that
the time to finalize the organization, communication, and implementation
of the planned mitigation measures is short.
As of 29 April 2009, nine countries have officially reported 148
cases of swine influenza A/H1N1 infection. The United States Government
has reported 91 laboratory confirmed human cases, with one death.
Mexico has reported 26 confirmed human cases of infection including
seven deaths. The following countries have reported laboratory confirmed
cases with no deaths - Austria (1), Canada (13), Germany (3), Israel
(2), New Zealand (3), Spain (4) and the United Kingdom (5).
01/05/2009 - From now on WHO will refer to the
new influenza as influenza A(H1N1). This step has
been taken probably because, though the new virus has some strains
of swine flu virus, it is a mixed virus with strains from bird flu
virus and human influenza virus. Added to that it does not seem
to affect pigs! For all these reasons there has been some reported
outcry by piggery owners to call this new influenza 'Swine' Flu!
As of 1 May 2009, 13 countries have officially reported
367 cases of influenza A(H1N1) infection.
The United States Government has reported 141 laboratory confirmed
human cases, including one death. Mexico has reported 156 confirmed
human cases of infection, including nine deaths.

have officially reported 898 cases of influenza A(H1N1) infection.
Mexico has reported 506 confirmed human cases of infection, including
19 deaths. The higher number of cases from Mexico in the past 48
hours reflects ongoing testing of previously collected specimens.
The United States Government has reported 226 laboratory confirmed
human cases, including one death.
The following countries have reported laboratory confirmed cases
with no deaths - Austria (1), Canada (85), China, Hong Kong Special

is given in the following map.
Map
of the spread of Influenza A(H1N1): number of laboratory confirmed
cases and deaths
26/06/2009 -- As of 26 June 2009, the H1N1 influenza
pandemic has affected 59,814 people, including
263 deaths.
07/08/09 -- As of 31 of July 2009, 168 countries
and overseas territories/communities have reported at least one
laboratory confirmed case of pandemic (H1N1) 09. All continents
are affected by the pandemic.
The countries and overseas territories/communities that have newly
reported their first pandemic (H1N1) 2009 confirmed case(s) since
the last web update (27 July 2009) as of 31 July 2009 are: Azerbaijan,
Gabon, Grenada, Kazakhstan, Moldova, Monaco, Nauru, Swaziland, Suriname.
Globally 162380 confirmed cases of H1N1 Influenza
and 1154 related deaths have been reported so far.
There must be many times more unconfirmed cases. This indicates
that the mortality rate of the H1N1 influenza is not significantly
different from the normal seasonal flu but the lack of awareness
of this fact is making people panic the world-over.
User Feedback
For the type of 1918 flu epidemic we need to use the ophidia group
remedies because the rapidity of symptoms, hemorrhages and severeity
of prostration- all reflect the totality of a snake remedy picture
-most prominently Crot-h because in that epidemic those
who were normal on getting up in the morning collapsed and were
dead by the evening.
Among the other remedies Sarcolactic acid needs consideration
where the following are prominent either during or after the attack.

Hi I have had many symtoms of the swine flu and what I experienced
was mucus down the back of the throat. Within 2 days I coughed and
I experienced a burning pain deep deep in the lung. I thought wow
that was strange. The cough got worse and worse. the Burning continued.
I took my special cough blend of many ususal cough remedies and
there was not a change.
A friend of mine said her sister took Sepia 200c and it
cured her symptoms. But did not work for me. so I did a repretory
of my symptoms. Sepia came up! But Nat-m was also in the top selection.
That was the ticket. Nat-m 200c need to take it 2 times
a day for 4 days and then as needed for the next 2 weeks. I have
heard sepia is also working.
be well

Thank you for your latest piece on Swine Flu, it is thoughtful,
well researched and clearly presented. As a professional homeopath
I greatly appreciate the way that you wrote a piece that is helpful
to professionals & laypeople alike. Have you considered the
remedy Pelargonium sidoides? I find it extraordinarly helpful
in flu/cold situations with symptoms similar to this Swine Flu,
but of course have not had the opportunity to test it with this
flu. It was once a leading TB remedy.

Hello,
I just read the article on the Swine Flu and want to thank you
for writing such a great and helpful article. I am not worried about
the flu reaching fatal pandemic proportion but the information in
the article was nevertheless very appropriate, scientifically based
and greatly needed in the homeopathic community. If things should
become worse, then I will have readily available information to
help clients.
Thank you again for all your great work!
Claude Lainesse

I am so happy to see your organization taking a proactive response
to the current Swine flu situation. I have been using Anas Barbariae
C200 for several years for flu. Will this be of value with this
flu. The symptoms seem to be the same.
I would appreciate an opinion very much.
Thanks, and keep up your good work.
Best,
John Board
