Stress whether physical, emotional, mental, chemical or biological, when in excess causes damage to the vital organs resulting in various diseases, exhaustion or death. Viruses are one of the most common invisible agents that are present in the atmosphere, and spread through intermediary hosts like mosquitoes, chickens and swine (pigs). Occasionally, viruses become aggressive and start causing their symptoms and sometimes spreading pandemics. For example in India, Encephalitis (Japanese B-type) occurred in 1979 & recently last year.

Bird Flu, Chikungunya, Dengue, are virus borne diseases that can bring epidemic. Recently, the Swine Flu, which started from Mexico, alerted the World's Medical Systems to seek control and treatment. There are many kinds of procedures to control the spread of this disease including quarantines and public awareness etc. We have a solution both for protection and for treatment.

Is it possible to control and treat Swine Flu by Organic Herbal Medicines?

The clinical observation of benefits in cases of common flu, viral encephalitis, dengue, chikungunya and low immune syndrome by our organic herbs prompts us to expect & believe a great possibility of their usefulness in swine flu also which is almost similar to the conditions treated by us.

Disease, illness and death due to any kind of infection, (whether bacterial, fungal or viral), depends upon whether the immune system of the individual (i.e. fighting capacity against these infections) is strong or weak. If it is weak, then only the individual suffers from the ill effects of the disease and when very low, can lead to the development of chronic disease of a vital organ and even death. A strong immune system is capable of fighting, neutralizing and eliminating the infection (whether bacterial, fungal or viral), thus maintaining healthy body systems. The major concern in viral infections is the status of the immune system function in each individual. This is true for all kinds of viruses like Hepatitis - B, HIV or any kind of flu including Swine Flu.

Stress is a Major Factor
Stress is a major factor in determining the status of the immune system. Building and maintaining a strong immune system is vital for protection from disease of any kind. Stress, which is now recognized as the cause of 80% of disease, is a formidable opponent to the immune system. In the 21st century, stress has become the overriding factor responsible for immune compromise, or weak immune system function.

What Exactly is Stress?
Stress as a psycho-physiological (mind-body) event that takes place when our system is overwhelmed by any experience: physical, mental, emotional or environmental.

How Do Our Bodies Respond to Stress?
When we experience stress, our body releases a stress hormone called cortisol. Chronically high cortisol levels are very dangerous. Cortisol causes a cascade of reactions that increase the risk of many deadly diseases. Further, stress can weaken a person's immune response, leaving them more susceptible to infection, and can lead to unhealthy lifestyle habits. For instance, stress often leads people to overeat, lose sleep, and neglect exercise, all of which can create health problems on their own.

Is Stress Damaging Your Health?
We are a stressed society. We try to do too much, and we never know when we've done enough. And most of us don't know how astoundingly destructive chronic stress is to our health. According to studies at the National Institutes of Health, approximately 90 percent of all illnesses - mental and physical - are caused or aggravated by stress.

To build a strong healthy immune system, we recommend our Swine Flu Care Kit - 3 formulations for Prevention & Treatment of Swine Flu. These ORGANIC INDIA herbal medicines both build the immune system and help fight pathogens (bacteria, fungus, viruses).

Thus, it cannot only take control of the virus but can also arrest secondary infections, which are very common during the course of viral infections.

General Caution:

The phobia of pandemics in general population demands that some facts should be clarified for the treatment of Swine Flu once it occurs. Many people have become instant advisers for treatment by herbs & yoga etc. Thus, there must be caution which every patient should know that physical exertion, breathing exercises must not be done by the patient because these will exaggerate the conditions & flare up the disease. The symptoms of the disease like sneezing, coughing, expectorating & fever are natural systems of the body to relieve the patient from respiratory diseases. These should not be stopped by drugs or forcefully. Pain is also a protective symptom & pain-killers are usually given by all kinds of doctors - allopathic, ayurvedic & other systems of medicines. Here a very important caution is required while treating young patients. Drugs like Acetyl Salicylic Acid (Aspirin) & Nemuslide themselves can cause adverse reactions & even death in children. A condition known as Reye's Syndrome which is a potentially fatal disease and causes numerous detrimental effects to many organs, especially the brain & the liver. This effect is very common during the treatment of viral disease. Therefore, my submission is that the doctors should not prescribe these pain-killers in children with viral infections.

Caution for Pregnant Women:
Herbal AntibioticTM is not recommended for pregnant women. However, ImmunityTM & The Original Tulsi 'Tea' can be used during pregnancy.

Suggested Use for Pregnant Women:
Take two capsules ImmunityTM twice daily - together with a cup of The Original Tulsi Tea - with or directly after meals. (Make 'tea' strong for best results)
