Natural Remedies for H1N1

The United States Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends the use of vaccine as the primary source of defense against the virus causing H1N1 flu. The vaccine is an actual inactive form of the virus itself which stimulates the body’s own defense mechanisms. Natural (or alternative) remedies are not recommended as a replacement or a usage intended to delay seeking medical care. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) warns people to be cautious using products like pills, air infiltration devices, or cleaning products, that claim to be able to prevent treat or cure the H1N1 virus.
