Various kinds of medicine, Diet and Diabetes with Medicinal Plants

Diet and Herbal Medicine (vegetation) for Disease Sugar (Diabetes). Ordering food plays a key role in the lives of patients with diabetes. They always try to follow a healthy diet plan and fibrous. They should avoid fried foods and greasy or spicy foods, and keep away from junk food (Junk Food). Diabetes patients have to take green vegetables and fruit at dinner or lunch more than other types of food. Some types of vegetables such as celery, bitter melon, onion, garlic, artichoke and spinach is very useful to reduce the weight diabetes. Some natural medicines from plants, is very influential in diabetes. After some research on medicinal plants, research centers make some medicine for diabetes. Including Neem, PANN, Amla, Haldi and some mixed, which is useful to control blood sugar in the body. Some drugs from plants can be very effective in some types of diabetes without side effects.

There are some herbal treatments for patients with diabetes. -Juice of Bitter gourd / bitter juice Kundur = Patients should drink a glass of juice a bitter Kundur least for 3 to 4 month. It has been proved that the bitter gourd juice is very effective for patients with diabetes.

Sudha Sudha Silajit = Silajit have long been used to treat diabetes in Ayurveda medicines drugs. Shilajit also known as "Asphaltum" (Latin language). He was against diabetes and regulates blood sugar levels. Shilajit has been used also for reinforcing the body, anti-aging and libido, injury healing, urinary smooth roads, etc bone healing.

Vijaya Saar = general name is Kinotree Malabar. Vijaya Saar stimulates cells to utilize blood sugar in the bloodstream. Haridra = What we know as "turmeric" and has been known and the best treatment for diabetes because controlling Kapha dosha in the body. Plants other drugs effective in diabetes is jamuns and seeds, Coriander Seeds, Lettuce, Red Roses, Fennel Seed and Gulair. Powder mixture of all these plants, taken twice a day. Also found effective in overcoming the problem of diabetes. In the end, it is important to be known by all patients with diabetes that diabetes is a hidden killer (Silent Killer), and if you want to beat this killer will have to follow your diet plan and keep yourself from sugar, oil and fatty foods and still must continue to exercise every day throughout life.

BEWARE of DIABETES MELLITUS, know the SYMPTOMS

Diabetes Mellitus Symptoms

Diabetes Mellitus is a condition wherein the body has increased blood glucose levels. There are two types of diabetes mellitus. The type 1 diabetes mellitus starts during childhood, making it synonymous to juvenile diabetes. In this type of diabetes, there is an impairment in the production of insulin by the pancreas resulting in increased blood glucose levels in the body. This is often treated with insulin shots and a proper diet plan. There are times that the patient may outgrow this diabetes, and there are some whose diabetes persists into adulthood. The second type of diabetes is the type 2 diabetes or adult onset diabetes. This type of diabetes is an acquired condition, usually affecting adults with several risk factors like smoking, obesity, improper eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle. Gestational diabetes may be considered of this type. In this condition, there may be a sufficient amount of insulin circulating in the body but the cells are impaired from receiving glucose for its utilization.

There are times that you show no symptom of this condition and yet later find out that they have it. This is not unusual since like Type 2 diabetes, it develops slowly through the years of too much stress on the body. People have been diagnosed with diabetes almost ten years after they get it. The symptoms vary for each individual, but the two common signs that are very indicative of diabetes are increased urination or polyuria and frequent thirst or polydipsia. This is commonly seen in diabetic patients because the increased glucose in the body causes water to be removed from the cells to be able to reach homeostasis or a balance in electrolytes in the body. When the cells get dehydrated because of the outward flow of water, it triggers the brain to feel thirsty. And it leads to the frequency in the urge to drink. Drinking water and other beverages will in effect increase urination. And this cycle goes on until the increased glucose levels in the blood go down.

Another major symptom to complete the three P symptoms of diabetes mellitus is polyphagia or extreme hunger. Since the body is trying to balance its electrolytes and other fluids in the body, it triggers your hunger centers to make you feel that you want to eat. Unfortunately, the more you eat, especially carbohydrates, the more you encourage this condition to progress. And the feeling of hunger will not go away.

Having Diabetes mellitus can also feel like you are coming down with the flu. You tend to feel very weak with a feeling of malaise. Sometimes, you may feel a bit feverish and lose your appetite. This is because your body is not absorbing enough glucose in its cells. Since glucose is the basic ingredient for energy production inside the cell, an impaired glucose transport in the cell will result in low energy levels, thus the feeling of fatigue and weakness.

People suffering from Diabetes mellitus have the symptom of eating more to fill up the loss of fluids and sugar in the cells and thus gain more body mass. On the other hand, since the body cannot utilize the glucose in the cells, these glucose get flushed out of the body in the urine. Since it is not utilized, and no nutrients reach other cells for growth and energy, you lose weight. This is frequently seen in patients suffering from juvenile diabetes. They are always at their normal weight or most of the time, lower than it.

Diabetic patients also suffer from vision symptoms especially a blurred vision. The high blood glucose levels tend to make water move outward from the cells. Since the lenses of the eyes are also cells, water also tends to migrate outward, affecting the shape of the cell, and consequently, your vision. Once the blood glucose levels are regulated, vision can go back to normal. But once the blood glucose levels remain elevated for a long period of time, they make new optic capillaries to form at the back of the eye or the retina as it also damages old blood vessels. This may cause several vision problems on the patient, some as serious as having no cure and this leads to blindness.

Diabetic patients are also known for having wounds that take a very long time to heal. This is because the high blood glucose levels impair the ability of the cell to repair, leaving the wound open to infections and other complications. Once this symptom occurs, and the body still is not responding properly to the infection, gangrene might set in. This is a reason why diabetic patients have to be very careful to not have any wounds in the body. And if they get one, to take care of it until it heals. Women can also develop long term bladder and vaginal infections as symptoms, which can be a problem in treatment.

Elevated blood sugar for a long period of time can cause neurological symptoms to occur in patients with diabetes mellitus. This elevation damages the small nerves found in the peripheral nervous system, usually found in the skin. Symptoms include a tingling and no sensation in the extremities especially the feet area. Burning pain is also a symptom experienced in the legs and feet, arms and legs. The nerves that control autonomic functions may also be impaired affecting middle aged men to have some degree of erectile dysfunction. Diabetic neuropathies are commonly seen in patients who have a hard time controlling their blood sugar.

Another symptom of diabetes may be its effect on the gums, especially when an infection takes place, causing the gums to become red and swollen and the teeth loose. The gums may recede and expose the teeth, or formations of pus and sores may occur.

Diabetes mellitus often gets undiagnosed because of its common symptoms and signs that may sometimes mistake it for flu and other infections. As with any disease, early detection and diagnosis can lower down the risk of any complications.

BEWARE of DIABETES INSIPIDUS, know the SYMPTOMPS

Diabetes Insipidus Symptoms

Diabetes insipidus is a condition wherein the kidneys are unable to inhibit water from being released, leading to an increase in urination and the feeling of extreme thirst. Unlike diabetes mellitus which has an increased blood glucose because of the lack of insulin, diabetes insipidus is a rare condition wherein the kidneys are not able to conserve water while filtering blood. This is probably due to vasopressin, an antidiuretic hormone. ADH is a hormone produced in the hypothalamic part of the brain and sent to the pituitary gland for storage and eventual release into the body. Central diabetes insipidus is caused by the lack of ADH while nephrogenic diabetes insipidus is because the kidneys cannot respond to ADH. Major symptoms include increased urination and excessive thirst. This excessive thirst allows patients to drink large amounts of water to replenish the water lost in the urine. This condition may have evolved from an inherited disorder wherein male children receive and cause the disease on the x chromosome from the mother to the female. Nephrogenic diabetes insipidus may be caused by the diseases of the kidney like polycystic kidney disease and the effects of various drugs. If the thirst mechanisms are working fine and fluids used are just enough, then there are no significant effect on the fluids of the body and salt balance. If there is a lack in fluids consumed, then dehydration and hypernatremia will set in the blood. Central diabetes insipidus is caused by a damage or tumor on the hypothalamus or pituitary gland.

Symptoms of diabetes insipidus include uncontrollable thirst, a yearning for ice water, increased urine volume of diluted urine reaching 2.5 liters a day in mild diabetes insipidus to 15 liters a day in severe conditions and if a lot of fluids were ingested. The average urine volume output for a healthy adult person is 1.5 to 2.5 liters a day. Another symptom of diabetes insipidus is nocturia, or the need to arise from bed in the evening just to urinate, and bed wetting. Children who have diabetes insipidus have the following signs and symptoms like crying that cannot be consoled, abnormally wet diapers, fever, nausea and diarrhea, and dry skin with the extremeties that are cold.

Usually, the kidneys are the ones responsible in clearing surplus body fluids from the blood. This excess fluid waste is kept in the bladder as urine. When the fluid regulation system of the body is functioning properly, the kidneys produce less urine to be able to conserve fluid when body water is decreased due to perspiration. To retain the volume and composition of the body fluids within normal levels the rate of fluid intake is governed by habits and thirst. The rate of excretion is greatly influenced by the production of ADH. This ADH is produced in the hypothalamus and normally stores the hormone in the pituitary gland. It is released into the body via the blood stream when necessary. ADH increases the concentration of urine by triggering kidney tubules to reabsorb water into the blood stream rather than directing it to the urine. Diabetes insipidus happens when this system is interrupted and the body cannot control its fluids. The way the body system is disrupted determines the form of diabetes insipidus that you have.

Central Diabetes insipidus is caused by the damage to the pituitary gland or hypothalamus due to surgery, a tumor or illness, inflammation or head injuy. Sometimes, the cause is not known. It is this damage that disrupts the normal production, storage and release of ADH.

Nephrogenic Diabetes insipidus is due to the destruction or damage of the kidney tubules. They are the ones responsible for the absorption and release of water. This defect makes our kidneys unresponsive to ADH. The defect may be due to a gene disorder or chronic kidney disorder. Some medications like lithium, tetracycline, can cause nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. One out of four cases of nephrogenic diabetes insipidus. Gestational diabetes insipidus occurs only during pregnancy and because of the destruction of ADH by the placental enzymes.

Genetically speaking, nephrogenic diabetes insipidus that appears in children after birth is usually due to a genetic cause that permanently damages the ability of the kidney to concentrate urine. It is common in the male population although the women can also pass the gene to the children.

To screen for diabetes insipidus, the doctor will perform several tests to determine the signs and symptoms of diabetes insipidus and diagnose it. A positive diagnosis of diabetes insipidus will make the doctor determine as to what type of diabetes insipidus it is by undergoing several tests such as the water deprivation test. In this test, you will be asked to cease drinking fluids about two to three hourse before the test to determine base values in the body weight, urine output and composition. They may also measure urine output and urine composition if fluids are not released. ADH levels in the blood are also used. In children this test is done under rigid medical supervision since they may lose more than five percent of their body weight during the test. A urine analysis is checking the physical and chemical examination of urine. A less concentrated urine means that the water is excreted is high. If the doctor feels that your form of diabetes insipidus is the inherited type, a complete family history will be taken from you as to polyuria and may probably recommend genetic screening.

Diabetes insipidus can affect your body in such a way that it retains an insufficient amount of water to be able to function properly thus leading to dehydration. Dehydration can cause dry mouth, a certain muscle weakness, low blood pressure or hypotension, a sunken appearance of the eyes, high fever and headache, a rapid heart rate or tachycardia, and weight loss.

Diabetes insipidus can also cause an imbalance in the amount of electrolytes circulating in the body. Electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and phosphorus are responsible in maintaining body homeostasis. An imbalance may cause symptoms like headaches, weakness, pain in the muscle and touchiness.

"WHAT IS GESTATIONAL DIABETES"

Definition

Gestational diabetes is a carbohydrate intolerance of variable severity that starts or is first recognized during pregnancy.

Alternative Names

Glucose intolerance during pregnancy

Causes

Gestational diabetes is usually diagnosed during the 24th to 28th weeks of pregnancy. In many cases, the blood glucose level returns to normal after delivery.

It is recommended that all pregnant women be screened for gestational diabetes during the 24th and 28th weeks of their pregnancy. The symptoms are usually mild and not life-threatening to the pregnant woman.

However, the increased maternal glucose (blood sugar) levels are associated with an increased rate of complications in the baby, including large size at birth, birth trauma, hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), and jaundice. Rarely, the fetus dies in the womb late in the pregnancy.

Maintaining control of blood sugar levels significantly reduces the risk to the baby. The risk factors for gestational diabetes are being older when pregnant, African or Hispanic ancestry, obesity, gestational diabetes in a previous pregnancy, having a previous baby weighing over 9 pounds, an unexplained death in a previous fetus or newborn, a congenital malformation (birth defect) in a previous child, and recurrent infections.

Symptoms

  • Increased thirst
  • Increased urination
  • Weight loss in spite of increased appetite
  • Fatigue
  • Nausea and vomiting
  • Frequent infections including those of the bladder, vagina, and skin
  • Blurred vision

Note: Usually there are no symptoms.

Exams and Tests

An oral glucose tolerance test between the 24th and 28th weeks of pregnancy is the main test for gestational diabetes.

Treatment

The goals of treatment are to maintain blood glucose levels within normal limits during the duration of the pregnancy, and ensure the well-being of the fetus.

Close monitoring of the mother and the fetus should continue throughout the pregnancy. Self-monitoring of blood glucose levels allows the woman to participate in her care. Fetal monitoring to assess the fetal size and well-being may include ultrasound exams and non-stress tests.

A non-stress test is a very simple painless test for you and your baby. An electronic fetal monitor (a machine that hears and displays your baby’s heartbeat) is placed on your abdomen. When the baby moves, its heart rate normally increases 15 to 20 beats above its regular rate.

Your health care provider can look at the pattern of your baby’s heartbeat in relationship to its movements and determine whether the baby is doing well. Your health care provider will look for three accelerations of 15 beats per minute over the baby’s normal heart rate, occurring within a 20 minute period.

Dietary management provides adequate calories and nutrients required for pregnancy and to control blood glucose levels. Patients should receive nutritional counseling by a registered dietician.

If dietary management does not control blood glucose levels within the recommended range, insulin therapy should be initiated. Self-monitoring of blood glucose is required for effective treatment with insulin.

Outlook (Prognosis)

There is a slight increased risk of the fetus or newborn dying when the mother has gestational diabetes, but this risk is lowered with effective treatment and careful watching of the mother and fetus. High blood glucose levels often go back to normal after delivery. However, women with gestational diabetes should be watched closely after giving birth and at regular intervals to detect diabetes early.

Up to 40% of women with gestational diabetes develop full-blown diabetes within 5-10 years after delivery. The risk may be increased in obese women.

Possible Complications

  • Low blood glucose or illness in the newborn
  • Increased incidence of newborn deaths
  • Development of diabetes later in life

When to Contact a Medical Professional

Call your health care provider if you are pregnant and symptoms of glucose intolerance develop.

Prevention

An awareness of risk factors and prenatal screening at 24 to 28 weeks of pregnancy will lead to early detection of gestational diabetes.

DIABETES PATIENTS TEND WHEN a BABY PREGNANCY FAT

Children born to mothers who developed diabetes during pregnancy are more likely to being overweight or become obese than their peers, according to a new study.

However, what is called the treatment of diabetes during pregnancy reduces the risk that? Dr. Teresa A. Hillier and colleagues studied nearly 10,000 mother-child pairs enrolled in Kaiser Permanente plans in Hawaii and the East Pacific ocean during the period from 1995 to 2000. Women who had diabetes were not included.

Search the kids 5 to 7 years later revealed the relationship between their body weight and blood sugar levels when checked their mother during pregnancy, according to the researchers report in the medical journal Diabates Care.

In particular, a child has a possibility of 28 per cent more for being overweight or become obese when your blood sugar levels of their mothers during pregnancy are at the top compared to the blood sugar at a lower position.

According to the team Hillier, the trend remained high after research on the improvement of maternal weight, maternal age, number of pregnancies, ethnicity, and infant weight at birth.

However, further analysis showed that the risk of obesity does not increase sharply among children born of mothers who undergo the treatment of diabetes during pregnancy.
"Our results indicate that the 'trail motabolis' children to experience the future of obesity seen in one, or more, abnormal condition in blood glucose tolerance tests," said Hillier and colleagues conclude. "The risk can be changed by the treatment of diabetes during pregnancy."

"WHAT IS TYPE 2 DIABETES" ???

Definition

Type 2 diabetes is a life-long disease marked by high levels of sugar in the blood. It occurs when the body does not respond correctly to insulin, a hormone released by the pancreas. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes.

See also:

  • Diabetes
  • Type 1 diabetes
  • Gestational diabetes

Alternative Names

Noninsulin-dependent diabetes; Diabetes – type 2

Causes

Diabetes is caused by a problem in the way your body makes or uses insulin. Insulin is needed to move glucose (blood sugar) into cells, where it is used for energy.

If glucose does not get into the cells, the body cannot use it for energy. Too much glucose will then remain in the blood, causing the symptoms of diabetes.

There are several types of diabetes. This article focuses on Type 2, which is usually accompanied by obesity and insulin resistance.

Insulin resistance means that insulin produced by your pancreas cannot get inside fat and muscle cells to produce energy. Since the cells are not getting the insulin they need, the pancreas produces more and more. Over time, abnormally high levels of sugar build up in the blood. This is called hyperglycemia. Many people with insulin resistance have hyperglycemia and high blood insulin levels at the same time. People who are overweight have a higher risk of insulin resistance, because fat interferes with the body’s ability to use insulin.

Type 2 diabetes usually occurs gradually. Most people with the disease are overweight at the time of diagnosis. However, Type 2 diabetes can also develop in those who are thin, especially the elderly.

Family history and genetics play a large role in type 2 diabetes. Low activity level, poor diet, and excess body weight (especially around the waist) significantly increase your risk for type 2 diabetes.

Other risk factors include:

  • Race/ethnicity (African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans, and Native Americans all have high rates of diabetes)
  • Age greater than 45 years
  • Previously identified impaired glucose tolerance by your doctor
  • High blood pressure
  • HDL cholesterol of less than 35 mg/dL or triglyceride level of greater than 250 mg/dL
  • History of gestational diabetes

Symptoms

Often, people with type 2 diabetes have no symptoms at all. If you do have symptoms, they may include:

  • Increased thirst
  • Increased urination
  • Increased appetite
  • Fatigue
  • Blurred vision
  • Frequent or slow-healing infections
  • Erectile dysfunction

Exams and Tests

Type 2 diabetes is diagnosed with the following blood tests:

  • Fasting blood glucose level — diabetes is diagnosed if higher than 126 mg/dL on 2 occasions.
  • Random (non-fasting) blood glucose level — diabetes is suspected if higher than 200 mg/dL and accompanied by the classic symptoms of increased thirst, urination, and fatigue (this test must be confirmed with a fasting blood glucose test).
  • Oral glucose tolerance test — diabetes is diagnosed if glucose level is higher than 200 mg/dL after 2 hours.

WHAT IS TYPE 1 DIABETES

Definition

Type 1 diabetes is a chronic (lifelong) disease that occurs when the pancreas produces too little insulin to regulate blood sugar levels appropriately.

Alternative Names

Insulin-dependent diabetes; Juvenile onset diabetes; Diabetes – type 1

Causes

Diabetes is a lifelong disease for which there is not yet a cure. There are several forms of diabetes, including:

* Type 1 diabetes, often called juvenile or insulin-dependent diabetes
* Type 2 diabetes, often called adult or noninsulin-dependent diabetes
* Gestational diabetes, which occurs during pregnancy.

For all types of diabetes, the metabolism of carbohydrates (including sugars such as glucose), proteins, and fats is altered.

In type 1 diabetes, the beta cells of the pancreas produce little or no insulin, the hormone that allows glucose to enter body cells. Once glucose enters a cell, it is used as fuel.

Without adequate insulin, glucose builds up in the bloodstream instead of going into the cells. The body is unable to use this glucose for energy despite high levels in the bloodstream, leading to increased hunger.

In addition, the high levels of glucose in the blood causes the patient to urinate more, which in turn causes excessive thirst. Within 5 to 10 years after diagnosis, the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas are completely destroyed, and no more insulin is produced.

Type 1 diabetes can occur at any age, but it usually starts in people younger than 30. Symptoms are usually severe and occur rapidly.

The exact cause of type 1 diabetes is not known. Type 1 diabetes accounts for 3% of all new cases of diabetes each year. There is 1 new case per every 7,000 children per year. New cases are less common among adults older than 20.

Symptoms

* Increased thirst
* Increased urination
* Weight loss despite increased appetite
* Nausea
* Vomiting
* Abdominal pain
* Fatigue
* Absence of menstruation

Exams and Tests

The following tests can be used to diagnose diabetes:

* Urinalysis shows glucose and ketone bodies in the urine, but a blood test is required for diagnosis
* Fasting blood glucose is 126 mg/dL or higher
* Random (nonfasting) blood glucose exceeds 200 mg/dL (this must be confirmed with a fasting test)
* Insulin test (low or undetectable level of insulin)
* C-peptide test (low or undetectable level of the protein C-peptide, a by-product of insulin production)

DOGS WERE ABLE TO DETECT SYMPTOMS of DIABETES

Experts from the specialist Cancer and Bio-detection Dogs Research Center, Southern England, doing training for their dogs to detect complications of diabetes is dangerous.

During the research carried out, they managed to find as many as 65% of their trained dogs can detect a person who increases insulin levels. With the increase in insulin, the diabetes was inevitable.

Only with someone who smelled of diabetes, the dog is able to know whether he diabetic or not.

Approximately 212 pets have participated in this study. But the only dog that managed to make the detection of diabetes. And there are 17 other dogs who are ready to be trained to determine the disease only from the sufferer's urine.

HOW TO PREVENT leucorrhoea MARRIED WOMEN

How to Prevent leucorrhoea naturally, you have to keep it clean sensitive areas. Cleanliness female organs should since getting out of bed and shower in the morning.
The following tip can be done:

1. Clean the intimate organ with cleanser that does not interfere with the pH stability around the vagina. One of these cleaning products made from raw material milk. Such products can maintain the pH balance while enhancing normal flora growth and suppress the growth of unfriendly bacteria. Commonly used antiseptic soap is hard and can be normal flora in the vagina. This is not beneficial for vaginal health in the long term.

2. Avoid the use of powder in the female organs with the aim of vaginal fragrant and dry throughout the day. Powder has a fine particles are easily tucked here and there and eventually invited fungi and bacteria lodged in place.

3. Always dry the vagina before dressing.

4. Use a dry underwear. If wet or damp, try to quickly replace with a clean and not used. Nothing wrong you bring a spare pair in a small bag as a precaution when the need to change.

5. Use underwear sweat absorbing material like cotton. Satin pants or other synthetic materials to make the atmosphere around the intimate organs hot and humid.

6. Outer clothing is also noteworthy. Jeans are not recommended because the pores is very tight. Choose a skirt or pants as a non-jeans material for air circulation around the intimate organs to move freely.

7. When menstruation, frequently changing dressings
Use a panty liner just in times needed. Do not be too long. Suppose that when traveling outside the home and release your return home.

TRADITIONAL MEDICINES FOR DIABETES FROM ASIA

Your diabetes? Want to traditional medicine is efficacious may prescribe an alternative so that you can try.
Prepare the soy milk, preferably raw, boiled with 3 pieces of betel leaf. drink while warm. Drinking regularly 3x a day and use honey instead of sugar black.

H1N1 FLU SWINE PIG, symptoms, prevention, and treating HOW

Swine flu spread of H1N1 virus is currently the world community concerns. Finally WHO World Health Organization, has even raised the level of pandemic flu to be level six Pigs. Which means that the spread had occurred beyond several continents, and it is feared will be very difficult to dammed.

So what and how the actual flu virus H1N1 pig, so that its appearance was greatly feared most societies in the world, and how to prevent or even treat it.

In general, the early symptoms of H1N1 Swine flu virus has symptoms similar to ordinary flu. Swine flu virus came from family strengthening influenza virus that normally only possessed by animals pigs (in endemic). However, despite the name of 'swine flu' brought many additional fear and worry in the community, the most important thing to remember is that the swine flu virus was really just an ordinary influenza A H1N1.

In the year 2009, then came swine flu viruses are spread from animals to humans, even now happening transmission from human to human. The virus is spread right now is called the strain of influenza virus (SIV). SIV is a type of influenza C virus and influenza A subtypes known as H1N1 viruses, H1N2, H3N1, H3N2, and H2N3.

Swine flu virus earlier usually only occurs in the western and central United States but sometimes also appear in other countries, like Mexico, Canada, South America, Europe (including England, Sweden, and Italy), Kenya, China Mainland, Taiwan, Japan, and other parts of East Asia.

Overall, known to have occurred 50 cases of swine flu virus spreading in the world since first reported in medical literature in 1958. The spread of swine flu virus at that time had produced a total of six people died.

Of these, one woman who was pregnant, single people with leukemia, one more person Hodgkin's disease, while two others were reported in good health before he died. Although the number of swine flu infection this seems very low, the actual infection rate was probably higher than the report. But because this disease usually causes only very mild symptoms, so it may never be reported or diagnosed by a medical expert.

Swine Flu Symptoms

According to the Centers For Disease Control And Prevention (CDC) as well as other types of flu, swine flu infection symptoms may include:

* High fever
* Dizziness
* Shivering
* Sore Throat
* Cough
* Colds or runny nose
* Body Pegal and Pain
* Fatigue and Drowsiness

In the year 2009 this has occurred also increased the percentage of patients reporting diarrhea and vomiting. However, swine flu virus is not considered a zoonotic pig flu virus, because it is not transmitted from pigs to human animals, but more spread through the transmission from person to person.

The signs of a more serious infection of swine flu may include pneumonia and respiratory failure. If the flu becomes pandemic, every person has the potential for this H1N1 virus.

If you experience any of the symptoms of flu but swine flu pandemic has not been announced widely, maybe you only have a regular seasonal flu.

Swine Flu Prevention

Influenza virus is usually spread among humans through the respiratory tract such as through coughing or sneezing and when people touch materials that have been contaminated by the virus, then touching your nose or mouth of their own. Swine flu virus can not spread by food ingredients made from pork meat and derivatives products, because the virus can not be transmitted through food.

Swine flu virus can be transmitted to humans during the first five days of the appearance of initial symptoms, although in some people, and most of the kids, swine flu virus can remain contagious until the first ten days. The diagnosis can be done by sending samples collected during the first five days and then analyzed.

Some recommendations to prevent the spread of swine influenza viruses among humans, including using strict standards to control influenza virus infection. These include frequent hand washing with soap and water or with alcohol disinfectant and sanitizers, especially after coming home from a public area. The possibility of transmission can also be suppressed by applying a disinfectant in the home environment and tools households.

Although current influenza vaccines used may not be able to provide protection against a new type of H1N1 virus, researchers and health professionals are developing new vaccines to counter the spread of swine flu virus was, and is scheduled to be ready in early June 2009.

Health experts agree that washing your hands regularly can help to prevent viruses, including swine flu virus. Influenza virus can be spread from coughs or sneezes. Later found evidence that even tiny droplets containing the virus can stay alive on a table, chair, phone and office equipment and other objects will be transferred through the finger to the mouth, nose or eyes.

For early prevention, alcohol-based gel or foam hand washing with soap can work well to destroy viruses and bacteria. Anyone experiencing flu symptoms such as sudden fever, cough or sore muscles should stay away from work or public transport and should contact your doctor for advice and a full diagnosis.

Maintain distance and direct contact with other people or social distancing, is also able to break the chain of spread of swine flu virus. This means staying away from others who may have first infected with swine flu virus should be done immediately. Community health centers and other authorities in charge may order or to advise of social distancing measures, but this depends also of the severity of swine influenza virus infection.

Swine Flu Treatment

If someone is experiencing symptoms like pain and reasonably suspected infected by swine flu virus, antiviral drugs are available in pharmacies can ease the symptoms of this disease and make patients feel better. Antiviral drugs may also prevent the emergence of some serious complications in patients.

For treatment, antiviral drugs should be consumed as soon as possible (maximum within 2 days after initial symptoms appear). Besides the consumption of antivirals drugs, the treatment measures that can alleviate symptoms, either at home or in hospital, should focus on the control of experienced fever and maintain fluid balance in the body.

Center for disease control and prevention of CDC recommends the use of Tamiflu (oseltamivir) or Relenza (zanamivir) for the treatment and / or prevention of swine influenza virus infections, even though most people infected with this virus can make a full recovery without requiring medical attention or antiviral drugs.
