So I worked very closely with a co-worker yesterday for several hours. Today she didn’t come into work because she was sick, went to the doctor and it turns out she has swine flu. If I caught it from her when would I start to see symptoms? What are the initial symptoms? I know I would eventually have more obvious flu symptoms but I am wondering about some that I might overlook like a cough or something.

Has anyone else had these unusual H1N1 flu symptoms?

Hi! Last week I woke up with a horrible toothache that affected the whole right side of my mouth. I had to drive right by my dentist’s office so i stopped in to make an appointment on my way to visit my Mom. Later that evening my ear started hurting as if I had a bad ear infection. I figured maybe that was what was making my teeth hurt. On my way home my vision got so blurry that it was hard to drive so I decided to stop at our local after hours care center. The doctor took my temp, ( I had a low fever), asked me some questions about the usual symptoms, runny nose, fatigue, cough, (all yes) and listened to my lungs. He spent a lot of time looking into my right eye with that special lighted instrument . He asked me if I ever get sinus infections and I said yes. Then to my great surprise he told me I was coming down with the H1N1 flu. This whole thing is fairly mild except off and on I will get this excruciating toothache, then the earache thing, and then a headache from the top of my head down to my shoulder, all on the right side. I haven’t gone to the dentist’s or anywhere because I don’t want to contaminate anybody, but I have not heard of anybody having these types of symptoms. I sure would like to know if anyone else has experienced this? Thank you!

What’s Different About Swine Flu Symptoms?

Whats Different About Swine Flu Symptoms? The answer is that its just another virus and as far as the body is concerned it affects the body like any other flu virus. The real difference is the prescription antibiotics that they use to fight any flu. Prescription antibiotics are one dimensional. That is, the pharmaceutical companies try to develop a specific drug (antibiotic) for a specific virus. What works for one virus will not work for another.

Thats the big advantage of natural antibiotics. Bacteria and viruses cannot develop immunity to natural anti-bacterials, so a good combination of natural antibacterials is a permanent and powerful defense against these pathogens. There are already reports of swine flu developing immunity to the anti-virals being used against it. There is no need to panic over developing swine flu symptoms any more than any other flu symptoms when you understand how to fight them and that they are truly just another bug?.

Fighting respiratory infections causes the body to produce extra fluid to help the lungs expel pathogens. This fluid is in the form of mucus and coughing is a natural body reaction to expel the fluid containing the bacteria/virus from the body. Sometimes influenza viruses can cause too much fluid to accumulate in the lungs interfering with the oxygen supply to the rest of the body. Research shows that its not only the virus that does all the harm but the fluid buildup inside the lungs that contributes to deaths in influenza cases.

So, people die not directly from the virus but from inadequate oxygen supply. As a person gets sicker with flu and dies, many times they are actually slowly suffocating. Systemic enzymes can help the body to flush this mucus fluid from the lungs. In combination with powerful, natural antibiotics, the effects of colds and flu can be effectively shortened by helping the body kill off the pathogens much faster and initiating faster healing with an enhanced immune response. This natural attack on cold and flu viruses applies to all varieties of cold and flu not just specific ones such as pharmaceutical drugs are designed for.

With natural immune enhancing agents you can protect yourself against all varieties of bacteria and viruses. Colds and flu also produce some inflammation in the lungs and this inflammation also can result in pneumonia and this inflammation is the biggest cause of death from influenza. This inflammation is the cause of one of the common pneumonia symptoms – weakness caused by shortness of breath. Systemic enzymes can also help with this inflammation as that is one of the things they do very well reduce inflammation in the body and specifically in the lungs of those who contract influenza.

Almost everything that makes people sick is some form of protein or is protected by some form of protein and so theses pathogens are subject to control by systemic enzymes. Bacteria, viruses, yeast and fungi are all protected by proteins and proteolytic (systemic) enzymes have the ability to digest and destroy these proteins, helping to eliminate them from the body.

In conclusion bacteria and viruses cannot become immune to natural pathogen killers. However, no natural bacteria or virus killer will kill every form of bacteria or virus. Thats why a good formula will contain a few different natural pathogen killers to make sure that every variety of bacteria or virus is killed off. This also applies to any cold or influenza symptoms including swine flu symptoms. There is nothing special about these viruses to natural antibiotics they are just another bacteria/virus to kill and eliminate from the body.

Very few natural antibiotics contain all these necessary ingredients – usually they are in a single extract variety such as pure oregano oil. Sometimes you may find a combination of a couple but rarely will you find a combination of a few powerful, natural pathogen killers in one formula. Combining a few powerful, natural antibiotics ensures that you are attacking all varieties of bacteria and viruses. This combination of powerful, natural antibiotics combined with a good dose of proteolytic (systemic) enzymes literally kicks the heck out of pathogenic invaders with no negative side effects.

Keeping these products on hand will ensure that you keep colds and flu at bay whenever they begin to make their rounds again, as they always do a couple times during the year and you wont need to be concerned about flu symptoms, swine flu symptoms or any other name they want to give the newest version of the flu virus.

Many people dont realize that prescription antibiotics can end up having serious consequences and you can find information on our site at http://www.natural-remedies-only.com/natural-antibiotics.html detailing this and showing you why natural antibiotics are a very wise choice compared to prescription antibiotics.

H1N1 Swine Flu – Symptoms and Warning Signs

The H1N1 Swine Flu is a respiratory disease caused by a virus. The virus is spread from person to person in the same way that regular seasonal influenza and common colds spread. The USDA reminds consumers that all meat and poultry product are safe to eat when properly prepared and cooked.

H1N1 Swine Flu is an influenza virus causing mild to severe symptoms. The vast majority of people contracting the H1N1 Swine Flu have recovered on their own without a doctor or hospitalization. It should be noted, however, that death has occurred as a result of contracting the H1N1 Swine Flu in a few people.

The H1N1 Swine Flu has most, if not all, of the symptoms of seasonal flu. Seasonal influenza symptoms usually include fever, headache, aches and pains, fatigue, cough and chest discomfort. Sometimes you may have a runny or stuffy nose, sore throat and sneezing. The H1N1 Swine Flu has three distinct differences from seasonal flu – the symptoms may be more severe, and a significant number of cases have reported vomiting and diarrhea.

These symptoms are different from the common cold. The common cold usually has a runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat, cough and occasionally some chest discomfort. Aches and pain can occur, but are typically slight compared to the flu. It is rare to get a fever or headaches with the common cold.

To complete the comparison of symptoms – Airborne allergies usually have sneezing and runny or stuffy nose. Sometimes a sore throat and cough might occur along with fatigue. It is rare to have chest discomfort or headache with an airborne allergy. Aches, pains and fever are not considered symptoms of airborne allergies.

When should you become alarmed?  The warning signs for children with H1N1 Swine Flu include: fast or troubled breathing, bluish or gray skin color, severe or persistent vomiting, extreme difficulty waking up, not drinking enough liquids, not interacting with others, extreme irritability – not wanting to be held. You should be very conscious is the flu symptoms improve; then, fever returns quickly and the coughing worsens.

The warning signs in adults are similar and include some additional symptoms such as: difficulty breathing or shortness of breath, pain or pressure in your chest or abdomen, sudden dizziness, confusion, and severe or persistent vomiting. As with children, adults may show improvement and a sudden return of fever and increased coughing.

The H1N1 Swine Flu, just like the common cold and airborne allergies can be slight, mild or severe. Everyone reacts differently. 70% of the patients hospitalized with the H1N1 Swine Flu have had one or more medical conditions that placed them in the ‘high risk’ category. High risk includes: pregnancy, diabetes, heart disease, asthma and kidney disease.

Take an inventory of your symptoms to see if you have influenza, common cold or an airborne allergy.  Knowing what you have makes it easier for you to treat.  The severity of the influenza symptoms could mean that you might have the H1N1 Swine Flu.

My dad ate taco bell last night @9pm, and started experiencing flu-like symptoms around 9am today. The symptoms were diarrea and vomiting. He started feeling better around 5pm. My mom and him were supposed to fly out to see me and my family today, but canceled their flight because they did not want to come here and get us sick. I am trying to learn about the major differences between the flu and food poisoning. We all know Taco Bell can be kinda sketchy. hehe
