Default Re: Influenza and the Cytokine Storm

Ken Welch was a recent guest on Rayelan's Rumor Mill News radio program. The gist of his report is that H1N1 is a precursor, and that the real pandemic is just around the corner: a re-run of the 1918 Spanish Influenza, aka. 'La Grippe.' "Healthy in the morning, dead by nightfall."

For when an outbreak of pandemic flu occurs, he mentioned the following preventative measures now adopted by hospital personnel, learned during the SARS outbreak in Asia:

1. Wear rigid N95 masks that cover nose and mouth. Although these masks are marketed as 'disposable', they can be re-used by lightly misting/spraying the outer surface with 100 percent alcohol (not rubbing alcohol).

2. Use a hand sanitizer (eg. 60% alcohol gel) after touching things outside.

3. Stay at home, but if you must be in a public place, use goggles to prevent infection through your eyes.

4. Remove and wash all your garments upon returning home.

Regarding Cytokine Storm: Ken mentioned that a class of high blood pressure medicine is known to stop a Cytokine Storm dead in its tracks. I will not say any more regarding this, as it might be construed as medical advice. If you wish to pursue this on your own, I highly recommend that you follow Ken's work. He is going to publish his findings on the coming pandemic flu in a PDF file, and make this publicly available shortly.
