Swine flu: Controlling cytosine

Garlic has been talking about the expansion of the swine flu vaccine and the likely delay to about 4 to 6 months, but little on prevention in food. Our bodies should be able to resist and fight disease.

One of the theories why the handling of the swine flu deaths are due to the cytokines, since the virus to affect the cells of the lung occurs on stimulation of the immune system in that area.

The immune system reacts by producing a storm of cytokines into the lung tissue. Results in immediate leukocytes migrate into the region causing lung destruction by producing edema fluid or secretion that prevent the patient's breathing.

Therefore, people with a strong immune system as the population between 20 to 45 years, releasing greater amounts of cytokines and are more prone to damage.

Previous pandemics were caused by that and appeared to be repeated, but now would be a mutation of H1N1.

Can be improved by ingesting products that control cytokines. Green tea reduces the excessive production of cytokines in addition to having antiviral properties.

Garlic is also considered anti-viral and can be consumed at a rate of one or two teeth every day. The best way is to make very thin slices macerated in lemon and prepare 30 teeth by putting them in a jar. Consumed raw and can be mixed with stews, salads, soups.

Vitamin C is a preventive action against viruses and has so many studies in favor or against, but does not hurt. It is an option to consider.
