Worth 100 Times of Cure-When It Comes To Protecting You and Your Children!

Our son Bailey’s school and its families, like everywhere around the world, are concerned about the spread of H1N1 flu. There are three confirmed cases in our primary school, and our principal, Graeme Scott at the International School of The Hague was quick to reassure everyone today in an email:

There is no cause for panic or over reaction at all.  We are in constant communication with the GGD (municipal health service) and take advice from them as well as putting in place our own procedures.  I  have ordered additional cleaning services during the school day, particularly targeting classroom door handles, toilets, handrails and other surfaces most contacted by children.  We also have antibacterial soap in the bathrooms and each class has antibacterial hand wash and wipes for constant cleaning.  Today or tomorrow, your child’s class teacher will again go through good hygiene practice with them. As with other strains of influenza here, the vast majority of those infected soon make a full recovery.  There are many other viruses around at the moment that have similar symptoms, so if you or your child has these symptoms, it may not be H1N1.

When my son came home today he asked about how it spreads, and whether or not it was transferred via air, saliva, blood or other (??). We have already had numerous discussions about utilizing hand sanitizer frequently, washing hands with warm or hot water and soap, but what else could I say? So I started doing my research and came across some great information which helped me understand how to prevent the spread. In everything I have read related to this, clearly an ounce of prevention is worth 100 times of Tamiflu.

Prevent Swine Flu - Good Advice-

From: The University of Kansas Hospital Dept. of Nursing   Units 43 & 51

The only portals of entry are the nostrils and mouth/throat. In a global epidemic of this nature, it's almost impossible to avoid coming into contact with H1N1 in spite of all precautions.  While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1 infection, in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of symptoms and development of secondary infections, some very simple steps can be practiced  
1. Gargle twice a day with warm salt water or Listerine. *H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the throat/nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms. Simple gargling prevents proliferation. In a way, gargling with salt water has the same effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an infected one. Don't underestimate this simple, inexpensive, and powerful preventative method. 2. Blow the nose hard once a day and swab both nostrils with cotton buds dipped in warm salt water. This is very effective in bringing down viral population. 3. Boost your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vitamins C and D. If you have to supplement with Vitamin C tablets, make sure that it also has Zinc to boost absorption. 4. Drink as much of warm liquids (tea, coffee, etc) as you can. Drinking warm liquids has the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse direction. They wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach where they cannot survive, proliferate or do any harm.

We thought we would share this with our friends and family from Greenbrook Elementary and John Baldwin Elementary. I suggest you pass this on.  You never know who might pay attention to it -- and STAY ALIVE because of it.
