Avian influenza prevention and treatment

Avian influenza affects chickens and poultry industry, recombined with human flu viruses are a completely new influenza virus to which people do not have the protection that extends into the population and causes serious illness and death in humans. Avian influenza is a disease infectious birds can also affect humans. It may have mild or severe disease. The only subtype that can cause serious illness to people is the Influenza A / H5N1 virus, initially affecting chickens, ducks and other birds by the process of mutations that can become highly pathogenic. If the avian influenza virus is recombines with a human flu virus and mutate may become possible to transmit from human to human, as in Asia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Turkey, Azerbaijan, Eygpt, China and Iraq, where he died. Bird flu hit Australia in 1997 but was eradicated.

Water birds are supposed to lead the kind of avian influenza viruses in their intestines and distribute it in the environment through the feces of birds.

Infection determines many of the symptoms in the wild and domestic birds from mild illness to highly contagious and serious epidemics. Among them, a decrease of activity and egg production, edema facial and violet-blue combs and wattles, diarrhea, bleeding, paralysis, sudden death. Signs and symptoms of bird flu in humans are similar to other viruses flu: sore throat and cough, fever, muscle weakness and / or pain with complications such as severe viral pneumonia, respiratory distress syndrome, failure Multi-organ, eye infections, pneumonia, inflammation of the brain and heart. Health experts have made research on the tests and vaccines, and rigorous quarantine practices. The worst was the Spanish flu pandemic of the flu and was in 1918-19. No federal government has adopted plans of Australia Action Plan for Pandemic Influenza, to prevent an outbreak among poultry farms. The treatments are the antiviral avian flu, Relenza and Tamiflu, but some of these drugs are expensive and supplies are limited. To prevent recombination of influenza virus with human influenza: recommended a vaccine against circulating strains used in humans people exposed to avian influenza. An avian flu vaccine is in development.

Tips for Travelers to affected countries:

Wash thoroughly before breaking eggs and wash hands thoroughly after handling eggs. Do not go to farms or market places. Wash hands, utensils or after handling raw poultry. Cook the chicken at high temperatures.
You can get help from: a doctor, bird flu Hotline, Australian Government Department of Agriculture, Division of Communicable Diseases.

Remember: While the bird flu spread among birds that affect humans through the feces of birds and discharges.

If you seem to have flu symptoms see a doctor immediately and explain how they have been exposed to avian influenza.

What the heck is in my nose? A: a silica packet BB

by Ryan M from on 2010-01-28
OK, here's my problem: when I recieved this product it was rock hard inside. The salt had to be broken apart. It was so hard I couldn't even do it with the bottom of a spoon, so I used a knife. Well, it turns out that there is a silica gel packet at the bottom which I punctured and let out all the little silica BBs. Obviously I couldn't use it after that... I'm thinking I might keep the bottle. So yeah, I ended up with a $14.95 200ml bottle.


Best pre-mixed saline powder for sinus irrigation

by Jen from Chicago on 2010-01-02
I've tried several pre-mixed saline powders for sinus irrigation, this is by far the best I've tried. I use the saline with a SinuPulse twice a day. For whatever reason, this is the only powder that has prevented sinus infections. When used in the same manner, I have still gotten sinus infections when using other powdered saline mixes.


A must for allergies or sinus problems

by barry from Boston, MA United States on 2009-10-10
I am a 47 year old man and have very bad year round allergies. I used to get sinus infections badly at least 4 times a year. I have had endoscopic nasal surgery done by my ENT twice and now (knock on wood) with medications and this product I may only get a sinus infection once a yerar. Medication nasal sprays for allergies are a must but so is self care. I do a nasal irrigation of my sinuses every night and my doctor says it is this self care that has me so much better.And this Sinuair powder is what I use for my nightly irrigation. I have a nasal spray bottle and I mix one spoonful of this powder with water for a gentle cleansing and moisturizing nasal wash. It is so soothing and takes very little time. Plus making this part of your daily regiment will keep the sinus infections away and keep your allergies at bay. I have purchased this powder from allergy sites and my doctor's office but this price here is an amazing good deal.I think with allergies so rampant now that people forget self care is the primary resource to good heath. This product is recommended by leading ENT's and allergists. My nose says thank you every day and my health has been so much better. I just want to end by saying this powder is very gentle and soothing when used. It does not sting or cause any irritation. If you have allergies, sinus infections and headaches or a stuffy nose, this product is a must.

Try this stuff. It worked for me.

by oscar from on 2010-08-01
A friend recommended this to me. She warned me that it was not a typical cough candy, like Vicks. I like Cherry Vicks but they weren't working for me, and they are mostly candy. My friend says Botano Throat lozenges taste a little like raisins, which I think is accurate. They are good - sweet, no menthol, and not a bit like Vicks.Anyway, I had been coughing for about 2 weeks. It started as a cold, went into my chest, and then didn't go away. I switched to the Botano Throat lozenges and it stopped my cough, which went away for good in about 2 days. This stuff is a little more expensive, but compare that to a week or 2 of coughing. It's worth it.

Can Not Squeeze and put out all of the water ... Difficult Control

by A. ALQATTAN from on 2010-05-29
I bought one . when I use it , I can't get all of the water inside it just half of it. May be I will buy a Neti Pot


looks dumb, but works!

by L. wen from on 2010-03-13
bought item for wife, and it works wonders. She has small nostrils and gets really stuffy nose. A neti pot + gravity simply doesn't work (not to mention the awkward head tilting). This lets her push the water up there without twisting her head.

Does what it's supposed to do

by Ahh! from Darting about on 2009-08-16
I hate when folks review a product on Amazon after using it only once or twice. I bought this squeezable nose cleaning system here about 9 months ago and have been using it on average about once/ week since then. I use it in the shower and love the fact that it's plastic so doesn't break when I drop it on the hard shower floor. It took a number of tries before I could use it properly, before I learned how to not accidentally inhale the solution or squeeze a lot of it out the ventilation holes near the top of the device.The wash kit probably only costs about 23 cents to make so I definitely think it's overpriced but on the other hand, for people who find it makes a huge difference i can imagine that cost of about eight bucks is entirely justifiable.I've read a lot of reviews of people who find that neti pots or similar systems like this one completely changed their lives. For me, this wash kit hasn't rocked my entire world but I do breathe slightly easier after I use it and, besides, I'm reviewing not my results but rather the product... which does exactly what it claims to do - squirt saline solution up my nose. And that it does extremely well!


Great relief, beats "Ocean Saline Spray" and others

by cherrycake from on 2009-07-22
This has given me terrific relief from allergies. I have been able to use far less medication (such as Sudafed and Benidril). I have tried saline sprays such as "Ocean" and they simply do not compare. This allows for far more volume of rinse to go into the nose and seems to just "make sense" better than adding medication, one takes away the irritants. I have used neti pots, and this is much easier with very similar effect.There is no trouble squeezing, as I read in one review, just let the container refill with air between squirts and it takes only easy pressure. Don't try to squirt the whole container-full in one stream, here is no need. Just squeeze until the nose and sinus fills, take the tip away from your nose and let the air re-shape the container, then each squeeze is as easy as the first. It takes about 6 to 8 squeezes to empty the container. No big deal.I found the salt packets made too strong a solution and there was a bitter taste in my mouth even hours later. I experimented and found that I can fill 2 or 3 uses from each packet. The salt powder is better than plain water, I tried that too. I will also try making my own solution from sea salt (no iodine added!) and baking soda.Another good idea is to use slightly warm water, it's less shocking to the inside of the nose than cold. Be very careful to not use too warm water as that could be very shocking to the sensitive nasal passages as well! I also use filtered water because the idea of chlorine up the sensitive nose seems bad.I find myself able to breathe easily and deeply when I used to have great problems with congestion and headaches. It also stopped the watering eyes! I love the idea and practice of removing the pollen, dust, whatever from my nasal passages. It's a great value when compared to the cost of all the medications and sprays I've had to use in the past. My allergies have been very bad and I use this several times a day during the high pollen season. When I feel the stuffiness or headaches coming on, I clean it out! So far, it's a huge improvement.

Description

The development of Gene-Eden was inspired by Dr. Hanan Polansky's highly acclaimed scientific discovery of the Starved Gene phenomenon. The discovery explains how chronic viruses cause disease.What is a virus? It is the smallest form of life. It includes a set of genes and a shell. When it enters a cell, it plants itself in the nucleus and starts to manufacture its proteins.How does it manufacture its proteins? A virus is a genetic parasite. To manufacture proteins, it "steals" raw materials from the human genes.What happens to the human genes? They stop manufacturing their own proteins, which leads to disease.What is a latent or chronic virus? A virus that co-exists with us for life. It is not dormant, but continues to produce proteins, and by that, it starves the human genes.Which chronic viruses are dangerous? Those that steal scarce raw materials. In high concentrations these viruses are dangerous.Should you be worried? Almost all of us harbor some chronic viruses in our body. The number of these viruses increases with aging, after exposure to X-Ray, cellular, or UV radiation, during stressful events, or when we take certain medications. And when they multiply, they can cause a major disease.How can you protect yourself? By taking Gene-Eden, a broad range, all natural, antiviral supplement that targets chronic or latent viruses.What is the recommended dose? For full results, Gene-Eden needs to be taken for at least two months. At the lowest dose, a bottle provides 1-month supply of capsules. Therefore, we recommend starting with a minimum of two bottles. At the highest dose, we recommend starting with a minimum of four bottles. Why Gene-Eden? Chronic viruses create a hell for your genes. Gene-Eden creates a natural, heaven on earth environment for them.

Features

  • Gene-Eden is a natural, science-based, antiviral supplement that targets many chronic viruses such as Hepatitis, Epstein Barr (EBV), Human Papilloma Virus (HPV), Herpes, and Influenza.
  • Gene-Eden targets viruses during their chronic, latent, or incubation phase.
  • Gene-Eden has a unique, patent protected formula. Gene-Eden assists the immune system in fighting chronic viruses. Gene-Eden aims to decrease the concentration of chronic viruses to harmless levels.
  • Unlike drugs, improvements are gradual, and sometimes are easily missed. We know Gene-Eden works. We invite you to try Gene-Eden for a month. If you do not see an improvement, return the bottles for a complete refund!
  • After taking Gene-Eden for a few weeks, we recommend taking a standard blood test (visit Gene-Eden.com for specifics) to objectively see the improvements in your health.

Gene-Eden

by Fredrick Russell from Grand Prairie, TX on 2010-05-06
Since I began taking this product I have had much more energy even though I have hepatitis C. My lab work so far is also showing that my viral load is coming down. If it clears it I need to speak with the scientist who developed this product because I have used the most powerful natural products out there and nothing have cleared it even though they have cleared other people with this cursed disease.


This product is a scam!

by C. Craig from NYC on 2010-04-26
This product is worthless, did nothing, don't waste your $$. BUYER BEWARE, all these good reviews must be planted! Take a good multivitamin instead!!!


Gene Eden really works for me

by L. Danehy from NM USA on 2010-03-30
I was diagnosed with chronic Epstein Barr Virus. Due to a bad case of Mono in my 20's. The result is that I had gotten to a place where it was difficult to make it through the day, the exhaustion was making my life hard to do. I had gone to the Dr's and he had offered me a prescription for some drug, but the side effects were dangerous and I just didn't want to deal with that also. So, I did some research and found Gene Eden, I thought, what the heck. I have been taking this supplement for 6 months. I feel so much better. I have energy again, I don't wake up exhausted, and I feel good. I have noticed if I forget to take it for a few days, I might start getting a sore throat, or tired. But, I am on a routine for the most part and I can't imagine not having this supplement as part of my solution for my health. I highly recommend it.


Gene-Eden cleared all my warts and my face is now free of lesions!

by John S Marks from New York, NY on 2010-01-19
I was suffering from HPV warts since 2006. I am very pleased with the way Gene-Eden cleared all the warts and my face is now free of lesions! I fully recommend this product for anyone suffering the way I was. It was very pleasing, and now I feel that it has given me a new lease on life! My doctor told me that my only resort was some medication that he prescribed for $648. I am pleased that you saved me money as well as my salvation! Thank you for your product. I am most satisfied with the results.


Miracle Supplement!

by S. Thoma from Wisconsin on 2009-12-02
This product was a miracle supplement for my daughter! She was diagnosed with a very severe case of mono, which led to viral hepatitis (jaundice, enlarged liver, spleen & gallbladder). She spent 3 days in the hospital because she couldn't keep anything down and was feverish. Being in her first semester of her freshman year at college, I was desperate to find something to help her since the Drs. told us 6-12 months recovery. She started taking Gene-Eden about a week after she was released from the hospital and felt much better immediately. It's been only four weeks on the supplement and she is practically back to normal. It's been a miracle that she's finishing up her 1st semester. I never thought it possible, but I truly believe Gene-Eden got her through! I'm going to have her continue taking Gene-Eden for at least 6 months, just in case. Thank you PolyDNA for making Gene-Eden for us desperate Moms that feel so helpless.

Effective, over-the-counter acne medicine

by GatorFan from on 2010-03-13
My teenaged sons have tried many acne medications, including ones that require a prescription. They like over-the-counter ZapZyt the best. They think, and I agree, that it does the best job of calming inflamed skin and reducing visible acne. One caution: it bleaches out clothing that it touches (towels, inside collars of shirts, sheets) so have your teens apply it while wearing an old t-shirt and then tell them to give it time to soak into their skin before they go to bed. A minor hassle, but the results are worth it.


great acne cream

by loves2shop82 from boston,ma on 2007-09-05
I've used many benzo creams. This by far is the best one. It works fast and is at a great price. Zapzyt did not over dry my face and cause irritation to my face like most other benzo creams. I would reccomend this to everyone. It works well, fast, and is reasonably priced.
