Tamiflu vs. Vitamin C
They said on the news yesterday that Tamiflu has not really been proven effective against the Avian Flu... and apparently it's been linked with the deaths of some young people in another country, though the USA FDA says it's safe. (I don't know that I trust the FDA, because to me they seem to be in the pocket of pharma....)
The other thing the news segment said, was that you had to take Tamiflu within the first 24 hours of contacting the flu... and then it would reduce the amount of flu you felt by about 40%.
So I think that Vitamin C is at least that powerful, and maybe much more powerful. And, Vitamin C is not the $245 that the news segment said was being charged for Tamiflu on some web sites -- all of which, they said, were doing a booming business.
If you plan to try the vitamin C, I think you need to take 20 to 30 grams a day to get the benefits of it killing off the flu..
And, you don't want to take that much as a precaution. Take one of the 1,000mg tablets three times a day to keep healthy....http://www.health-boundaries-bite.com/Fingernails.html

Imma ask my doctor first to hear tamiflu. Vitamin C everybody knows about it. We all need daily dose of vitamins C to prevent us from being sick.
