Drug-resistant Swine Influenza virus transmit via human in Japan

There is many drug-resistant cases of Human swine influenza (H1N1) all over the world, Japan has recently discovered the first cases of swine influenza drug-resistant human transmission. The girl has never taken Tamiflu, but infected ”Tamiflu” resistant swine flu virus.

Health and Welfare Ministry said a girl in Sapporo of Hokkaido, had never taken ”Tamiflu”, she admitted to hospital of fever last month, it is confirmed she was affected by swine flu resistance virus. The girl recovered next day after being prescribed ” Relenza” from the hospital.

However, the Ministry of Health and Welfare refused to confirm the girl were infected by drug-resistant-to-human transmission of swine influenza, but they do not deny this possibility. They claimed that she only infected with a variant of swine flu, and there is no evidence to show that the Infective power of this virus is strong and the toxicity is become stronger.

Tanning Protects Against The Swine Flu?


[Post by Jessica L. Flint, College student major Physics] I would like to bring to your attention a subject that the media is saying will soon be affecting us again, the Swine Flu (H1N1 virus.) As a college student majoring in Physics, I feel the need to shed light on a study I have recently become a huge supporter of, Indoor tanning as a precaution against the H1N1 virus.

Not only is indoor tanning giving us all a bit of color and a boost of confidence, a study which started out focusing on the positive effects Vitamin D has against battling the seasonal flu has taken a turn on how Vitamin D can help protect against the H1N1 Virus, commonly known as the Swine Flu Virus.

It is estimated that over 95% of U.S. senior citizens suffer from Vitamin D deficiency, along with an alarming 85% of the general U.S. public (these numbers are at their highest during the Winter months.) Unless you are getting regular UV exposure to a large portion of your body, it is imperative that you get your Vitamin D levels checked on a regular basis. Experts recommend getting in at least 2,000 IU (International Units) per pound of body weight per day of Vitamin D. It is suggested to jump into a safe tanning bed to raise Vitamin D levels, one tanning session provides 4,000 – 5,000 IU’s (International Units) per tanning session, which contains more IU’s than a glass of milk.

Not only is the intake of Vitamin D going to help combat off the Swine Flu, but studies have shown Vitamin D is responsible for lowering rates of disease, helping fight against respiratory infections and a lower death rate. Those lacking sufficient Vitamin D levels can suffer from brittle, thin bones. Not too mention Vitamin D is the happy vitamin, releasing endorphins into the blood stream. Endorphins give sudden bursts of energy and a general feeling of pleasure, who doesn’t love a vitamin that will increase happiness.

I feel this alternative is a far better solution than the mandatory Swine Flu vaccine which is in talks at the moment.

The aforementioned vaccine will be mandatory for the elderly and pregnant. As a woman, there is absolutely no way I would inject a virus into my body and into the blood stream of my unborn child. Nor would I ever suggest injecting this into someone who is elderly and naturally has a weakened immune system.

Swine influenza virus could go into lungs


Human swine influenza (H1N1 influenza) outbreak, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reiterated many times swine flu is less lethal than seasonal influenza, people should not be too fightened.
But H1N1 influenza virus are not only not afraid of hot weather,
New research also shows it is much more harmful than expected, also large infiltration in the lungs of infected persons before a large number of breeding.


Adhesion nose and throat

The University of Wisconsin-Madison virologist Yoshihiro Kawaoka, the Professor, experiment on rats, monkeys and ferrets made them infected with swine influenza and seasonal influenza.
He found that seasonal influenza virus was found only in animal adhesion of the nose and other upper respiratory System. But the swine influenza virus can be found in-depth lung cells, and then a large-scale breeding, and made the infected person's lungs in severely damaged as well as pneumonia, and even death.
Kawaoka pointed out that the special attack of swine influenza infection in the lungs, was similiar as the Spanish flu pandemic which killed more than 6,000 million people in 1918.
The people whom born in 1918 was natural with antibody swine influenza, reflected the two viruses were similar.

Is Swine Flu virus derived from laboratory to make fast evolution?




Human Swine Influenza is a combination of swine flu, avian flu and human flu virus, but it has always been a mystery that no one can answer how this virus is form.

Australian plant virologist Gibbs (Adrian Gibbs) believed that the swine flu was not from nature, but the development of human vaccines in the laboratory, which accidentally allow a virus to escape and affected by the human.

WHO did not agree the theory of the 75-year-old Gibbs, after he analysis the swine influenza gene of Mexico and the United States, he found that the evolution of swine influenza viruses is much faster than the general body of the influenza virus in pigs, so it should not like spread out by pig. In his view, the virus may be from another host, such as birds or fish, who spent a period of time evolution; or researchers in the laboratory to develop vaccines using an egg, the birth of the virus in eggs, was escape from the laboratory and then proliferate in the community.

Gibbs said: "The virus may be caused by human error, the sooner we know the virus come from, the more security." He had written the report of the findings, but not published. However, he conceded that it is not enough evidence to show swine influenza virus is transmitted by the laboratory, "escaped" over the weekend, therefore he reported the case to WHO, the WHO would like to investigate.

WHO had contacted the world's human and animal influenza laboratories, research Gibbs arguments are true. Acting Assistant Director-General of WHO Keiji Fukuda said that at present all the evidence do not support the theory of Gibbs. U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Department of influenza tester Dramix (Nancy Cox), did not agree with Gibbs because he did not got South American and African swine flu virus samples and the new type of swine influenza virus was evolutes in these two countries, and also "no evidence that the virus originated from an egg."

How to prevent Swine Flu in perfect way?

How to differentiate swine flu or pig flu from the common flu?


The Human Swine H1N1 Type A influenza (also called swine flu, hog flu, and pig flu) epidemic worldwide and confirmed across the globe. Seems it is not easy to avoid it. Once if you got flu symptoms, how can you know you got affected Swine flu or not?

Symptoms of swine and seasonal flu include fever, cough, sore throat, body aches, headache, chills, and fatigue. Both symptoms are almost the same. Dr. Ng Hee Liang (M.B., B.S. Singapore) mention that, even the symptoms is similar, you can still identify if affected within 2-3 days.

If you got common flu or seasonal flu, it can be recovered within first 2-3 days. Take Prescription medicine is a common way to cure. You don’t need to worry about if there is no more symptoms in 4-5 days.

However, the chance of affect Swine Flu is high if your symptoms get worse over 4 days or last long time (even take prescription medicine). In some cases, after feeling a little better, it show signs of a more serious problem. Some of these signs are a sick-to-your-stomach feeling, vomiting, high fever, shaking, chills, chest pain, or coughing with thick, yellow-green mucus.
Some Patients do seem to be reporting diarrhoea and vomiting more often with swine flu than is the case for "normal" flu. Some of the patient’s body temperature even rise to 39 degree or even more.

In another way, Dr. Bermal of Manila (Philippines) explains that flu viruses commonly circulate in the human and animal environment. Seasonal flu is caused by flu viruses that change to spread in humans; whereas swine flu is caused by those that affect pigs. She notes that the mixing of human and animal flu viruses can lead to the development of new viruses in which the human population has little or no immunity against.

Secondly, Swine Flu virus is more active than the common flu, it can spread from human to pig and vice versa. If it spread from pig to human, it also can spread between human to human. For common flu, it can only spread between human to human. Common flu will have chance to spread over after the patient affected in first 2-3 days. For the incubation period, Swine flu virus may only have symptoms 7 days after affected, while common flu virus only has maximum 4 days. The death rate of H1N1 virus is relatively higher than common flu. It is about 6.77% compare to less than 1% of common flu. Age around 20 – 45 is easy to affect H1N1 virus and many of them is teenagers, while common flu is not only affected by young people.

Finally, uunless you have access to a virology laboratory, you probably can't distinguish the two viruses in exact way. In practice the two forms are probably indistinguishable.

P.S. Wash hand frequently and wearing face masks in crowd place is the only way to prevent swine flu.
