Flu Update: How to limit the H1N1 flu's virulence

This is interesting.  H1N1 causes an immune system over reaction called a "cytokine storm".  This means that what appears to be a good immune response is actually excessive and damaging.  This is why H1N1 can be dangerous for young healthy people with good immune systems. This can be curbed by taking:

• Vitamin D - 15,000 IU/day
• Fish Oils - 1 teaspoon twice daily or 2 capsules twice daily
• Quercetin
• Tumeric
• Antioxidants - grape seed extract, vitamin C, Vitamin E, Zinc

The above supplements help to calm the cytokine storm.  The below nutrients can be taken to kill the virus:

• Grapefruit Seed Extract (GSE)
• Oregano Oil
• Olive Leaf
• Yin Qiao San

Do not take the common immune boosters like Echinacea or Astragalus.

Just thought I'd pass this along,
