Book Reviews of Flu: Alternative Treatments and Prevention

Book Review: nice informative intro to flu and natural remedies that work
Summary: 5 Stars

I liked this book a lot - read it twice the first day! It has an easy to read style and a simple way of explaining scientific ideas - like differences in flu strains: H1, 2 or 3 joined to N1,2, or 3. It also describes how flu viruses work.

Remedies are clearly described and sections on treating children, seniors, and adults make differences in those patients' needs clear.

I was pleased to see specific names and doses of remedies as well as stages for use. Many "natural health" guides withold that, or it is too vague to decide what to do once you are sick. You could decipher this book even if you had flu at the time - hopefully you won't wait that long to put up some of the remedies.

I also think, for those doing family preparedness, that home-schooled kids would be mature enough to understand and use it. I would place the age at about 12 years old, for a bright child who wants to help out.

The excerpt about Spanish Flu was disturbing, but probably meant to be. This is a killer bug, and bird flu is the same type, an H1N1 member.

Summary of Flu: Alternative Treatments and Prevention

Every winter, the flu virus presents an international health threat. Sometimes the flu season is mild, while in other years it causes widespread debilitating illness. Vaccination against the flu has been hailed as the primary and best preventive measure, yet shortages and the controversies surrounding the lack of effectiveness of vaccinations have led many people to seek alternatives. Fortunately, anyone can prepare for the flu season with effective prevention strategies. If the flu strikes, there are safe, alternative methods to treat the symptoms. Flu: Alternative Treatments and Prevention guides readers in treating the flu with appropriate professional care and home remedies. The first part of Flu tells the history of the flu, lists its symptoms and complications, and includes a discussion of flu vaccines. Part II describes the alternative medical treatments available to treat the flu as well as important measures people can take to build a strong immune system. Part III features methods for flu prevention as well as treatments for children. And Part IV offers information about the best ways to increase immunity, treat the virus, and prevent serious complications of the flu for seniors.
