On the other hand, however, Mumcuoglu is clearly a very determined woman who has turned a lifetime of research into the health benefits of elderberry, an old folk remedy for influenza, into a clinically proven treatment for regular flu. Now, new in-vitro tests have proved that her remedy, the elderberry-based Sambucol, also appears to be effective against avian flu. See less

The spread of a lethal strain of bird flu in the past two years has sparked fears of a new pandemic. Although more than 200 people have contracted the H5N1 virus, experts point out that cross-infection to humans is still relatively rare, and usually occurs where people have been in close contact with infected birds. Many scientists fear it may be carried by migrating birds to Europe and Africa but say it is hard to prove a direct link. Others argue that farming methods and human lifestyle could be accelerating the spread. But as H5N1 continues its journey through Europe and Africa from its original hotspot of south-east Asia, there is mounting concern that it may combine with a human strain to produce a mutation that is more dangerous and difficult to combat.

When infections and deaths have been confirmed in the country. Prepare for worst case scenario, relax compliance standards when threat is determined to be less dangerous. You can significantly reduce the number of infections by taking appropriate, consistent action. And if you can avoid infection for six to nine months, a vaccine would probably be available by then.
