Be careful with large doses of oil soluable vitamins, they can be toxic. Please research this thoroughly.

The major problem which leads to lethality in this type of flu is something called a "cytokine storm", where the body's own immune system is so stimulated by the virus that it attacks the body as well.

One article I archived about this is available here: Glutathione shows promise...

As Bear Wash pointed out about Turmeric, it stimulates production of Glutathione, which, according to what I have read, can in turn can help bring the cytokine storm under control.

That does not control the flu, which is still present, but limits the damage done by the body in fighting the flu, at least according to what I have read. another article

I hope that helps.

We do have more pressing problems at present, unfortunately, by the time this (or any pandemic disease) becomes a pressing problem, it is pretty late in the game to do anything but ride it out and pray you either do not get it or have some natural resistance.

While all the concern may be for naught, I have always maintained I'd rather be loaded for bear and run up against a mouse than vice-versa.

We buy auto insurance as well, in case someone hits our vehicle or we hit theirs, hoping we never need it either.

Thanks for the info. Will read it all, later. But, as you say, better safe than sorry. On the other hand, dying doesn't bother me, as I know where my eternal home shall be. Which doesn't mean that I go and chase down the, "Grim Reaper" at every opportunity. And as you say, it still never hurts to have the insurance...
