For those people who are suffering from a cough, sore throat, or any other symptoms of influenza like the FLU, herbal cure of Mullein might be what “the doctor” prescribed.

Mullein is nothing but a woolly leafed biennial, meaning the leaves are velvet-like to the touch, and it has a life cycle that is two seasons long. During the first season of growth the soft leaves gather around the base in a spherical prototype of rosette. Later on, the second season has the tall middle stem that can grow over 4 feet tall. On this middle stem a yellow flower blooms, and it is mostly the stamen of the blossom that is more often applied for medical reasons.

Mullein, like most of the herbs, has been utilized in the olden days to treat extensive range of ailments than it is capable of treating. For example, it isn’t effective against the whooping cough or tuberculosis, two diseases it was once used to treat.

Nonetheless, there are modern studies that provide credibility to the curative effects of this herb when it comes to the throat aches, flu and the coughing.

In fact, couple of studies have been performed and the conclusions published that indicate Mullein has several diverse antiviral features. One study indicated it has the ability to suppress the herpes simplex 1 virus, but also influenza strains A and B.

This is great news, since even though western medicine has many antibiotics, it has a fewer collection of antiviral medicines. In future years, the active antiviral components of Mullein may be segregated and utilized to treat various diverse viral infections. This makes it a nice herbal flu remedy

Method of relieving a sore throat or a cough:

Stamen and the leaves are frequently applied jointly to make a tea that contains expectorant and cough suppressant features. However, one of the best applications is to create (or buy) a tincture, which contains 100% percent pure Mullein leaves and flowers. when making the tincture, DON’T use the seeds, because they are extremely poisonous. To use in treatment of a cough or sore throat, use one whole dropper of the Mullein tincture put in a tea cup of lukewarm water, and drink it slowly. You can drink one tea cup and repeat it every four hours.

Even though this application wont usually cure the origin of a cough or the throat ache, it most definitely will cure the symptoms properly. Herbal remedies do work,and this one has some great uses.

Although there are no known side effects, it is always possible to have an allergic reaction, and pregnant woman should avoid any treatment not approved by a doctor. Consult a doctor or medical professional before you try this or any other therapy. When taken with professional guidance, mullein can be one of several effective flu herbal remedies.

SWINE FLU PANDEMIC - PHASE 5

Acting Surgeon General Rear Admiral Steven. Galson, M.D. explains that a Phase 5 Pandemic Alert in reference to the Swine Flu pandemic is really just an administrative classification that allows federal, state and local level emergency workers to communicate with each other concerning this 'new' disease.

In explaining this he is very careful to reiterate that this does not have any direct effect on the number of cases of Swine Flu that have been reported nor the severity of the disease in those affected.

My first question after hearing him is, "Exactly who is this man working for?”

If he, as the Surgeon General of the United States, is not working for the American people…so then, exactly who is he working for?

The deliberate attempt to make light of the number of people inflicted, dead and dying from this disease strikes me as heartless and uncaring. Yet he seems preoccupied with downplaying the severity of this disease and playing up his obligation to doctors, hospitals and other health care workers. Now, this is not necessarily a bad thing, but is it what we need at this time of a pandemic alert when our families are in direct danger.

We, the public, expect some information from him on the very things he doesn't have time to give us…namely, how many infected, how bad this disease is in America right now and what, if any, further precautions we should take.

If you haven't seen his latest video, you can Google it…just don't expect it to be of any use to you if you are living in an affected area or one that may soon be affected.

According to the esteemed World Health Organization (WHO);

A Phase 5 Pandemic Alert means widespread human-to-human infection.

A Phase 5 Pandemic Alert means a pandemic is IMMINENT!

Phase 5 Pandemic Alert means that the time is short!

Every single one of these recommendations by WHO tell us that if you are not now in an affected area, you soon will be. No ifs, ands nor buts.

These are the points our Surgeon General should have reiterated instead of clarifying Phase Five Pandemic Alert as just an administrative classification used by bean-counters to keep their records straight.

Next is Phase 6 Pandemic Alert. By the time we receive this warning, it will already be too late. Phase Six, when it hits, will mean that a global pandemic is already underway and millions are infected, dead, and dying.

So obviously it is every man for himself because it appears that your Surgeon General isn't concerned whether you live or die.

Be sure your family is protected because, as of today, we are all out of time and we are all on our own.
