My daughter got it two days later. So I got Tamiflu for her. Three days of the Tamiflu for me made me very irritable. Then 24 hours after my daughter took it she woke up very confused and irritable. I will not continue to give it to her. My son has just started running a fever and after watching his sister go through the side affects told me he would never take Tamiflu. STAY AWAY from Tamiflu!&lt;/p&gt;

I work for a lab where we test drugs for companies and see how well they actually work in an invitro situation and Tamiflu simply doesn't do squat. &amp;nbsp;We give the drug companies the honest, sometimes disappointing results we get, but we can't do anything about what they actually report from our studies.&lt;/p&gt;

Before the days of antibiotics, everyone knew that if you had an illness with a fever you STAYED IN BED for at least 2 days after the fever went away. And even then, it was just a gentle walk in the fresh air, suitably wrapped up if it was cold, then back to resting. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not all traditions and old-fashioned ways are best - I'm not sure that leeches do any good (except perhaps for bronze diabetes) - but In these days of a pill to fix everything, people have forgotten some obvious truths in traditional wisdom. &lt;/p&gt;

Patented drugs cause company stock to soar. People make BIG money. All the patents are temporary. The longer you can keep a patented drug on the market, the more (BIG) money you can make. The key to continuity is having New Drugs &amp;quot;in the pipeline&amp;quot;. It's makes no difference how the old ones worked. Once they go generic (or are outlawed) they are not as profitable and it's time to move on.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Notice how HEALTH has no place in this formula? It's profit driven only.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Patent Drug Companie$ are a GREAT inve$tment.&lt;/p&gt;

Read these excellent articles written by a couple of MD's who have lots of experience from treating patients with silver in this form.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.imref.org/articles/pdfs/Townsend_I.pdf"&gt;www.imref.org/.../Townsend_I.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These articles actually verify that silver is an essential mineral that the body needs to be able to handle several physiological functions of the immune system. ROS - Reactive Oxygen Species is one of them.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There are certain viruses that surround themselves with fatty cells - lipids. These viruses are known as lipid viruses and can unfortunately tolerate colloidal silver fairly well. This is because the water based silver does not penetrate the lipid barrier of the virus. However, if you mix equal parts colloidal silver with whisky or vodka and squezze some fresh lime or lemon juice in too - you have a recipy that will take care of lipid virus infections very efficiently. Both the alcohol and the acid from the citrus will do its part of dissolving the lipid based defence system of the virus. Take a teaspoon every five to ten minutes for a couple of hours - as soon as you feel you have cought something - and the cold or influenza will be gone in a matter of hours. Keep it under your tongue for 30 seconds and the sublingual part of your mouth will absorb the silver directly into your bloodstream. Small doses at this frequency makes sure that your body will have a good supply of active silver to fight viruses - as the silver ions are removed by the kidneys in a matter of minutes. Don't worry about turning blue, people turn blue by drinking too much of a too strong home brewed product made using salt - unknowingly creating silver chloride. Use a 10 ppm commercial product and you can according to the EPA take 7 teaspoons per day for 70 years and still keep your color.&lt;/p&gt;

How about a good supplement or well balanced diet to help prevent the flu in the first place. Prevention really is the best medicine! &lt;/p&gt;

Im starting to believe viruses as a whole may not even exist. If anyone is interested in this subject look up Stefan Lanka research and/or interviews, you'll be shocked. He really makes a lot of things clear and simple that doctors and big pharma would like us to believe are so complex. A complex appearance of disease and disorders makes for big funding and for millions of uninformed medical professionals to spread lies and destroy lives for a living. The most trained professionals out there are simply regurgitating outdated nonsense and propaganda. The human race is doomed if this is allowed to continue, and I say good riddance. I only wish I would be around when the *** really hits the fan and we start dropping like flies from our own greed.&lt;/p&gt;
