Manuka Honey Vs Swine Flu

Manuka Honey For Medicinal Use

Manuka honey is proving time and time again to be an effective alternative to a lot of traditional medicines and is commonly being used in hospitals throughout the world to treat some of the world's notorious superbugs.
With recent concerns of the pandemic swine flu I have been bombarded with questions from people wanting to treat and protect themselves against the outbreak.
So how does this product we have heard so much about recently stack up against the dreaded swine flu.
Manuka Honey is an excellent supplement which when taken internally helps support the immune system. It's full of vitamins and minerals as well its renowned antibacterial properties. It's an excellent product for aiding the digestion and maintaining a good natural balance of the body's chemicals to ensure you health is kept to it's best.
Manuka honey is an excellent supplement to be taking if you do contract swine flu but there is no actual evidence that Manuka honey will cure the virus when consumed. There is how ever strong evidence that Manuka honey can help to prevent contracting the virus as it due to its properties which help support the immune system. Manuka honey has been proven to be effective in killing the swine flu virus, though only through topical application as with most infections and ailments this is when Manuka honey works at it best.
Many protective creams and sanitizers have been developed which contain Manuka honey which will help protect against contracting and spreading of the virus, though general hygiene, common sense and maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle are all essential elements in yours and your family's protection.

If you do contract the virus or have suspicions that it's not just a common cold affecting your life, play it safe. This virus has already infected millions of people. Heading into autumn( well here in the UK any way) things aren't going to be much better.
Be wise and stay at home. Think of how many have been infected so far and think about how much better thing would have been if only a half of these people didn't spread their germs.
Don't be afraid to admit you have contracted the virus, It's effected millions of people throughout the UK alone some people may keep their distance for a while but it's only for their best it won't be forever.
Advising people you are a carrier is safer for everyone. The faster we quarantine this the better.
In most cases you won't need to visit the GP and is advised not to due fast spreading and help lines are available if you are not sure. If you do need medication send someone to get it for you.
Most people who have contracted swine flu recover within a week and do not suffer complications, even without being given anti-viral medication. Anti Viral such a Tami flu medications don't kill the virus the assist by supporting your immune system and easing the symptoms the same thing manuka honey will do.

Symptoms of swine flu are.

The typical symptoms are:

Sudden fever (a high body temperature of over 38C or 100.4F), and

Sudden cough.

Headache,

Tiredness,

Chills,

Aching muscles,

Limb or joint pain,

Manuka honey, eating healthy with plenty of rest will help assist your recovery. Supplements such as Vitamins C are also an excellent choice. Manuka Honey is not proven to be an effective treatment for swine flu as with any common cold or virus honey does help to support the immune system as do most vitamins and minerals.
It does not cure swine flu but does help to prevents it.
