“She’s cute and young.”
The young and the old tended to survive the 1918 flu. It was those with the healthiest, strongest immune systems who died. Their immune systems attacked the virus in their lungs and caused them to suffocate in their own bodily fluids.
A few years ago When the H-1 N-1 flu virus made its rounds some Freeper suggested to take NAC or N-acetyl cysteine. I have been taking it ever since with a ratio of about 3/4 tsp of NAC along with 1-1/2 tsp of calcium ascorbate (buffered C) I have not had any problems with flu since, besides I am up in years. You may also want to read up on NAC as it is not only effective against the flu virus but amongst a host of other things as well you don’t want to deal with. It is too bad that not more people know about the benefits of NAC which is fairly inexpensive in bulk and probably could have saved a few lifes.
N-Acetyl Cysteine cleaves disulfide bonds by converting them to two sulfhydryl groups. This action results in the breakup of mucoproteins in lung mucus, reducing their chain lengths and thinning the mucus, improving conditions such as bronchitis and flu. Double-blind research has found that N-Acetyl Cysteine supplements improved symptoms and prevented recurrences in people with chronic bronchitis. N-Acetyl Cysteine at a dosage of 1,200 mg per day helps to prevent Influenza infection, reduces the symptoms of existing Influenza infection and reduces the duration of Influenza infections.
When taking N-acetyl cysteine it is recommended that two to three times as much vitamin C be taken at the same time. Failure to do so may result in more harm than good from taking this product because of the prolonged presence of the oxidized form of L-Cysteine. The vitamin C also helps keep the glutathione that is produced from the Cysteine in its reduced form so that it can continue acting as an antioxidant.
Secondary health issues are causing more deaths than the flu is. Heart Attacks, Sepisis, Pneumonia hit post Flu, and that does not account for those who are immune or other health issues compromised. Patients with heart, lung, Diabetes are higher risk. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2018/02/10/why-people-outside-high-risk-groups-dying-flu/326789002/
And this year the CDC got the Vaccine wrong. 18K die annually not since the Swine Flu which hit 56K. H3N2 is only 30% effective, the total mix is 10% for the failed Flu Vaccine. No accurate account of the Tamiful deaths yet.
