Hi E - (friend)
god bless you for asking -
I posted the info on the previous page - but will repost now - strange that this info is not widely known - I check the sources and consider it authentic - in the post you will notice an 'alternative' to fight flu / pneumonia - if ever it comes any of our ways...
Dangers Of Aspirin In Pandemic Situation I think we all need to be well informed, especially about the role aspirin played in the 1918 Pandemic. I take exception of the suite101 article.
There are important alternatives - so I am posting here.
Also be aware under the Codex Alimantarus protocols,
the avaialblity of these remedies might not be available

DANGERS OF ASPIRIN
Homeopathy also gained quite a reputation during the 1918 flu pandemic. Raymond Seidel, HMD (homeopathic medical doctor), decided to be a homeopathic doctor during the 1918 flu epidemic when he was a 10-year-old delivery boy for a local homeopath. He said, "I saw that the people who were taking aspirin were dying, about half those who were drinking a lot were dying, and those that received homeopathic remedies were living."
In Julian Winstons article, Influenza-1918: Homeopathy to the Rescue (The New England Journal of Homeopathy, Vol. 7, No. 1, 1998), he noted that most of the deaths were caused by a virulent pneumonia that was especially devastating to those who depressed their system with analgesics, especially aspirin. The following citations from his article prove this point:
The physician who wrote this (excerpted) web article connects today's swine flu scare with past pandemics like the worldwide Spanish Flu outbreak of 1918-19 that took the life of 675,000 Americans, including one of my uncles.
According to Dr. Tennant, the widespread use of aspirin during the winter that followed the end of The Great War could have been one of the key factors that contributed to the earlier pandemic by suppressing the immune system and lowering body temperatures that allowed the flu virus to multiply. Like aspirin, modern-day antiviral drugs like Tamiflu® and Relenza® also lower body temperatures.

TAMIFLU RESISTANCE
Recent outbreaks of the Swine Flu have been shown to be Tamiflu® resistant. On Sept 10 Health officials reported what may be the first instance of a Tamiflu-resistant swine flu virus spreading from one person to another.
ASPIRIN ALTERNATIVE - Kakkon-to: TJ-1
Kampo is a very big name in Japan and its products are well researched and documented. Here is one example of one of their formulas vs aspirin in combating pnuemonia via influenza virus. Aspirin, the most commonly used medication for treating the common cold and flu in the West, is a pain relieving and antipyretic agent derived from a chemical modification of ingredients in the bark of the willow tree (Salix alba). But some 2000 years ago, long before aspirin was discovered, a Chinese medical classic called the Shokan-ron already had described several different types of medicines for colds, one of which was Kakkon-to.
Dr. Kimiyasu Shiraki, professor at the Virus Research Labs of Toyama Medical & Pharmaceutical University, recently reported the findings of research comparing the healing activity of Tsumura's Kakkon-to (TJ-1) and aspirin on influenza-infected mice. The experiment, done on the DBA/2Cr strain of mice, which readily develop symptoms of fever after inhaling the influenza virus, was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of Kakkon-to on mice infected in this way. The researchers noted that, unlike mice given just water, those treated with Kakkon-to did not develop a high fever after 1-2 days of virus infection. It was also noted that treatment with Kakkon-to helped the mice recover more quickly from weight loss, a symptom of influenza in mice, and lowered the mortality rate by preventing the onset of pneumonia. In order to further examine their respective effectiveness, antipyretic action and preventive effect against pneumonia, Kakkon-to and aspirin were compared with respect to several pathological aspects of influenza-induced fever. Specifically, comparison focused on production of cytokines, which aid an animal's defense against the influenza virus. The experiment found that Kakkon-to did not affect the increase in interferon activity caused by the viral infection, nor did the levels of IL-2 and TNF-alpha in the blood show any change.
In other words Kakkon-to is a more effective treatment to fight the influenza and associated pneumonia - it might even save your life - based on the history of aspirin's effect during the 1918 pandemic.

Again - that suite101 article is definitely suspicious - since it deliberately does not mention the known historical facts of typeA influenza pandemics- decontextualised to mislead.
VIRAL RESISTANCE - TJ-41
Also - with repect to boosting your immune system and protecting against viruses. The far eastern TJ-41 has a proven track record.
It goes by the name
(Hochu-ekki-to: Japanese)
or
