Selma,

Take a deep breath. I’m glad to hear that you were able to research this issue and discover, as many health professionals have, that this is more hype than fact. Media hysteria has whipped this into a panic state. Reports are surfacing that state Tamiflu has been effective in its ability to reduce flu symptoms. I don’t think it’s harmful but I’m not stocking my home with it. I am relying on vitamin D, vitamin C, and if symptoms begin then andrographis extract.

Thank you! My daughter was just diagnosed with the H1N1 flu and panic set in immediately and my first thought was death. This is very scary to me. So now after the fact of her getting it I have started to research it and put myself at ease that it is like a cold and she will get over like she does her colds. This blog put me a ease because now my 21 month old has been displaying the same symptons and he is about to start his Tamiflu today.

I hope all this flu hype will pass die down because it sure is making me freak out!

Anything to get another vaccine out to the public and make some cash! Thanks for helping to “squash” the panic. Love your style, Doc Huber!

Nice job Dr. G. I printed this out and posted it outside my cubicle for my co-workers to see. Of course the media will continue to try to instill panic; the truth is so boring after all.
