Most
of
the research into the H5N1 virus suggests that this virus actually
overstimulates the immune system, and that the body kills itself while
trying to eliminate the avian flu infection. Avian
influenza related
pneumonia, is caused by a massive inflammatory
cytokine storm (or inflammatory cascade) which the H5N1 virus induces.
The end stage, or final result, of cytokine storm (SIRS) or sepsis is
multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Symptoms of the bird flu,
precipitating the cytokine storm may include: hypotension, tachycardia,
dyspnea, fever, Ischemia, or insufficient tissue perfusion,
uncontrollable hemorrhage, and multisystem organ failure (caused
primarily by hypoxia, tissue acidosis, and severe metabolism
dysregulation. Simply
'stimulating the immune system' could increase the risk of death from
the H5N1 virus.
A
number of compounds as seen bellow, have
shown to be good treatments known to interfere with the viral life
cycle, or substances that block the immune over-reaction that damages
the body's own tissues. Among these are: Antioxidants,
anti-inflammatories, neuraminidase inhibitors,
hemagglutinin inhibitors, TNF inhibitors, and inhibitors of
the
MAPK p38 system.
Quotes
from: med-owl.com
- Green
Tea "Green tea is rich in a
group of chemicals known
collectively
as catechins. These catechins have demonstrated anti-viral activity,
inhibit the enzyme Neuraminidase, act as Hemagglutinin Inhibitors and
reduce the production of TNF and other inflammatory compounds"
- Selenium
"Several studies have have shown
that selenium can inhibit the MAPK p38 pathways. This results in lower
levels of TNF and inflammatory cytokines, and prevention of tumor
growth"
- St.
Johns Wort "Preliminary field
and laboratory tests have
shown that
hypercin, a compound extracted from the medicinal herb St John's Wort
can be used to treat poultry infected with bird flu. "
- Ginger
"Ginger is related to the turmeric plant (source of Curcumin), and like
curcumin, ginger can block TNF by interfering with the MAPK p38
pathway. Compounds in ginger also increase levels of antioxidant.
- Astragalus
"A number of studies
have
shown that astragalus decreases TNF levels. It is widely used in China
for diseases including congestive heart failure, diabetic neuropathy,
and ischemia, all of which are associated with and elevation in TNF,
IL-1, IL-6 and other inflammatory cytokines"
- Kava
"Although kava is
best
known as an herb for anxiety, the root of the kava plant has also been
shown to block TNF. In a a study where mice were exposed to okadaic
acid, kava compounds inhibited TNF release with a potency equivalent to
the Green Tea compound"
- Coconut
Oil "According to the study on
Bovine enterovirus, in the
presence
of lauric acid: "Fatty acid-bound virions attach to susceptible cells
but fail to undergo cell-mediated uncoating. This and other research
suggests that lauric acid and other medium chain fatty acids can
inhibit most enveloped viruses.
- Skullcap
"Both the Baikal and
common varieties of skullcap contain neuraminidase inhibitors. Common
scullcap (S. lateriflora) contains baicalin (40 mg/g) and baicalein (33
mg/g)" Baicalin and baicalein inhibit the neuraminidase/sialidase
enzymes."
- Vitamin
E "Vitamin E, or tocopherol, has
been shown to exert a number
of
beneficial effects on influenza infection in animal studies. The low
toxicity and low cost of vitamin E make a moderate supplement an
attractive option for preparing for avian flu and other possible
influenza infections."
- Garlic
"Garlic has long been regarded for its anti-infective properties, many
of which have been demonstrated by modern methods. While
there is
little direct research on how garlic might inhibit influenza, there is
evidence that garlic can play a beneficial role in reducing the
cytokine storm"
- Zinc
"Zinc has been shown to have direct activity against a range of
viruses. Zinc is a mild to moderate inhibitor of neuraminidase. Zinc
can also turn down TNF, ICAM and other cytokines involved in over
reaction to H5N1 and other viruses."
- Resveratrol
"Resveratrol is
a
compound found in large amounts in red wine, grape seeds, and Japanese
knotweed. In addition to inhibiting neuraminidase resveratrol also
sends a message to cells to stop manufacturing Influenza A and
Cytomegalo viruses."
- Nac
"NAC prevents the
induction of MAPK p38 in cells. Stimulating MAPK p38 is a good way to
increase the production of TNF, and seems to be particularly true in
H5N1 avian flu"
- Curcumin
"Curcumin is the compound that gives
turmeric spice its bright yellow appearance. It has been used in herbal
medicine for a variety of inflammatory conditions, including fever,
arthritis, and psoriasis. Curcumin not only blocks TNF, but it is an
inhibitor of the MAPK p38 system"

An
alternative strategy, is
to
get infected early on, before
the healthcare system
is overwhelmed and
antivirals
run out. If
you
survive, you
will
be immune. but
you
will be
gambling with your life. Not advised!
NAC
It
is
beneficial
to combine NAC with most antiviral drugs it
leads to a significant increase in survival . An effective risk
reduction strategy
.
CURCUMIN
It
is a potent
antioxidant with specific antiviral, anti-inflammatory,
anti-cancer and cholesterol-lowering effects.
RESVERATROL
Peanuts
are significant
source of
resveratrol. Handful of peanuts contains approximately 70 micrograms of
this curative substance.
