Continuing with the chaos that has been the Swine Flu, just Friday, Swine Flu Headlines reports that President Barack Obama has declared the Swine Flu a national emergency. This, in essence, gives authorities and medical professionals more options when treating the infected and those at risks of getting the Swine Flu.
The Wall Street Journal has just released news that as of Friday, an emergency authorization was given for the experimental antiviral, Peramivir to be given those who are critically ill with the Swine Flu.
The antiviral is being produced by BioCryst Pharmaceuticals Inc. As you can see here, BioCryst has much to lose or gain if the antiviral sells well. It’s not only concerning that now the Swine Flu vaccine is experimental but so are the antivirals for treatment of those who are actually already ill. Again, more reason to look to alternative and natural methods for prevention of diseases.
Interestingly enough, the Examiner cited the respected British journal, Lancet Infectious Diseases for declaring that the antivirals Relenza and Tamiflu (commonly given to those infected with the Swine Flu) are not appropriate for adults nor for children under 12.
As always, continue to do the research yourself and get the answers you need to make healthy choices.
