We have been researching herbs and other substances to combat the swine flu virus (SIV). While we’re not yet sure how fast it is spreading, it has the potential to be quite serious in southern California given the high incidence of travel between California and Mexico. There have been a number of deaths blamed on the virus, including younger and presumably healthier people.
The good news is that chemicals in Green Tea (particularly EGCG and ECG) strongly inhibit the swine flu virus (SIV). So drinking Green Tea would be a good habit to get into right now. If you are pregnant or sensitive to caffeine then use water decaffeinated Green Tea.

the spread of AH1N1 or Swine Flu is really scary. It is a good thing that this virus is not very deadly. We are advised to take Vitamin-C and to wear face masks.
the use of face masks and boosting your immune system by taking lots of vitamin-C is still an effective way of preventing the spread of the Swine Flu virus.
i always advice my kids to wear face masks when going into crowded areas. swine flu is really scary and i dont want my kids getting infected by it.
Masks don’t do a thing besides iritate your face. they are helpful for bacetria and fungi infections, but viruses are so small they slip right through the mask easily. so in the case of a swine break out they’re pointless
the antioxidants in green tea really helps prevent cancer and some other forms of tumors.,.-
i love the taste of green tea and it also helps you relax by lowering your blood pressure.~,
swine flu scared the hell out of me when there was mass infection of this virus”-*
