Winter brings snow, ice, and freezing temperatures, but these climatic conditions are also the harbingers of another time of year: flu season. We all know the signs—chills, fever, sore throat, muscle pains, coughing—and hope that this common illness will make us sick for only a few days. But though the flu may seem harmless, influenza results in between 250,000 and 500,000 deaths every year and can spread virulently around the world. In pandemic years, the flu can kill millions. The recurrence of the Spanish Flu virus, the appearance and spread of Bird Flu, and the 2009 Swine Flu have heightened concerns about the dangers posed by flu pandemics. Drawing on his extensive research into influenza pandemics, George Dehner refutes the idea that these are a new phenomenon. In Global Flu and You, he traces the origins of the disease and outlines the societal and cultural changes that enabled the virus to become an epidemic threat. He reveals that while medical and scientific breakthroughs in studying and protecting against the virus have made rapid progress, demographic, economic, and technical changes have served to speed up and amplify the potential impacts of an influenza pandemic. Accessibly written for any reader, Global Flu and You exposes the facts and fictions of an illness we could all succumb to and is a must-read for anyone concerned with their own—and the world’s—health.

Flu experts agree -- a severe pandemic is just a matter of time. But there are many other ways to protect yourself and your family. They are cheap and widely available. Everybody can take steps to protect themselves and their families. The nightmare is another 1918-style flu that is both highly contagious and highly lethal. It could kill tens of millions of people around the globe. Ordinary, seasonal flu kills from 20,000 to 40,000 Americans per year, and an unknown number of people in other countries. Swine flu has already mutated into forms resistant to both vaccines and Tamiflu. BEAT THE FLU is a comprehensive guide to build your immune system to prevent and, if necessary, treat the flu. BEAT THE FLU explains the proprietary 7 Perimeter Defense System and the Super Immunity Seven. Praise for BEAT THE FLU: "This is a TON of information that can literally save lives. The solutions you give are simple and easy to implement. "Whatever price you pay for this book is going to be well worth it. After all...what price can you put on your life and the lives of your family?" -- Enigma Valdez "The 7-Perimeter Immune Defense System is a comprehensive immunity-boosting plan. When followed correctly, it will literally build an internal fortress of protection against the bird flu. This system will save lives! "I have seen books selling at twice the price that don't even have half the information." -- Clint Fountain "I have studied alternative health for many years... and still I found many nuggets of smart advice I hadn't thought of, forgotten, or flat out didn't know before I went through your flu book. Well done!" -- Jim Van Wyck "Brings the facts to us in a clear, well-written style. "You provide in-depth biological explanations using easily understood everyday words. Your ability to communicate complex concepts in ordinary language is phenomenal. "I am very, very impressed." -- Dot Pecson

Public health officials and organizations around the world remain on high alert because of increasing concerns about the prospect of an influenza pandemic, which many experts believe to be inevitable. Moreover, recent problems with the availability and strain-specificity of vaccine for annual flu epidemics in some countries and the rise of pandemic strains of avian flu in disparate geographic regions have alarmed experts about the world's ability to prevent or contain a human pandemic. The workshop summary, The Threat of Pandemic Influenza: Are We Ready? addresses these urgent concerns. The report describes what steps the United States and other countries have taken thus far to prepare for the next outbreak of "killer flu." It also looks at gaps in readiness, including hospitals' inability to absorb a surge of patients and many nations' incapacity to monitor and detect flu outbreaks. The report points to the need for international agreements to share flu vaccine and antiviral stockpiles to ensure that the 88 percent of nations that cannot manufacture or stockpile these products have access to them. It chronicles the toll of the H5N1 strain of avian flu currently circulating among poultry in many parts of Asia, which now accounts for the culling of millions of birds and the death of at least 50 persons. And it compares the costs of preparations with the costs of illness and death that could arise during an outbreak.

It sounds innocuous compared to war, plague and famine, but flu is actually one of the world's biggest killers. Since the first documented pandemic of an influenza-like disease in 1580, 31 worldwide influenza outbreaks have been recorded, culminating in the pandemic of 1918 that killed an estimated 50 million.This fascinating book explores the havoc caused by the world's most deadly virus - and the destruction left behind in its wake. From its initial identification by the Greek physician Hippocrates in the 4th century BC to the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, the author explores the social, medical and scientific ramifications of the major outbreaks that have occurred over the centuries - and the potential ramifications should such a pandemic occur in the modern world.The likelihood and consequences of a pandemic occurring in the event of the highly pathogenic H5N1 strain of avian flu jumping species is also explored, along with recent scientific attempts to alter the structure of the virus in order to destroy it or ameliorate its virulence.

Following an influenza vaccination, you are likely to be protected from the flu for up to a year after receiving it. Even if the flu vaccine fails to prevent you from contracting the virus, it will make the symptoms of the illness less severe than they would otherwise be. Influenza is a viral virus that affects your respiratory system, which includes your nose, throat, and lungs, among other organs. Influenza is usually referred to as the flu, however it is not the same virus that causes stomach "flu" symptoms such as diarrhea and vomiting. The flu is usually self-resolving for the majority of people. However, influenza and its consequences might be fatal in some instances. Those who are at greater risk of experiencing flu complications include: - Young children under the age of five, particularly those under the age of six months; - Adults over the age of 65; and - Residents of nursing homes and other long-term care institutions Those who have chronic illnesses such as asthma, heart disease, renal disease, liver disease, and diabetes, as well as those who are extremely obese and have a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or above, are at higher risk of infection. The annual influenza vaccine, despite the fact that it is not 100 percent effective, is still your best line of defense against the flu.

Veteran journalist Gina Kolata's Flu: The Story of the Great Influenza Pandemic of 1918 and the Search for the Virus That Caused It presents a fascinating look at true story of the world's deadliest disease. In 1918, the Great Flu Epidemic felled the young and healthy virtually overnight. An estimated forty million people died as the epidemic raged. Children were left orphaned and families were devastated. As many American soldiers were killed by the 1918 flu as were killed in battle during World War I. And no area of the globe was safe. Eskimos living in remote outposts in the frozen tundra were sickened and killed by the flu in such numbers that entire villages were wiped out. Scientists have recently rediscovered shards of the flu virus frozen in Alaska and preserved in scraps of tissue in a government warehouse. Gina Kolata, an acclaimed reporter for The New York Times, unravels the mystery of this lethal virus with the high drama of a great adventure story. Delving into the history of the flu and previous epidemics, detailing the science and the latest understanding of this mortal disease, Kolata addresses the prospects for a great epidemic recurring, and, most important, what can be done to prevent it.

“Highlights that influenza is still a real and present threat and demonstrates the power and limitations of modern medicine.” —The Wall Street Journal “A surprisingly compelling and accessible story of one of the world’s most deadly diseases. It is timely and interesting, engaging and sobering.” —David Gregort, CNN political analyst and former moderator for NBC’s Meet the Press A veteran ER doctor explores the troubling, terrifying, and complex history and present-day research of the flu virus, from the origins of the Great Flu that killed millions, to vexing questions such as: are we prepared for the next epidemic, should you get a flu shot, and how close are we to finding a cure? While influenza is now often thought of as a common but mild disease, it still kills more than thirty thousand people in the United States each year. Dr. Jeremy Brown, a veteran ER doctor and director of the Office of Emergency Care Research at the National Institutes of Health, talks with leading epidemiologists, policy makers, and the researcher who first sequenced the genetic building blocks of the original 1918 virus to offer both a comprehensive history and a road map to protect us from the next outbreak. Dr. Brown explores the terrifying and complex history of the flu virus and looks at the controversy over vaccinations and the federal government’s role in preparing for pandemic outbreaks. Though a hundred years of advancement in medical research and technology have passed since the 1918 disaster, Dr. Brown warns that many of the most vital questions about the flu virus continue to confound even the leading experts.
