1) Virus enters human body
2) Virus injects RNA into our cells and take over our cells' function.
3) Virus uses our cells to multiply
4) Virus offsprings breaks open our cells wall and infect our body other cells
How our body stops virus attack
Antibiotics are commonly prescribed whenever we visit the doctor. ANTIBIOTICS CANNOT KILL VIRUS. Antibiotics are only effective against bacteria. It helps you weaken body to fight secondary bacteria infection.
You have to depend on your body natural defense, ie antibodies to counter the virus attack. Every type and strain of virus have different active site configuration, so every time a new type of virus enters our body, our body reacts by producing a new antibodies which are mainly consist of protein to inhibit the active spot of the virus, thus render the virus inactive!
1) Human defense cell gather information about virus active spots
2) Human defense cell produces antibodies to close the active spots of the virus
How Virus Inhibitor Medicine/Drugs, like Tamiflu Works
Flu virus use a protein called neuraminidase to break the human cells wall. Tamiflu inhibits this neuraminidase protein so the virus cannot break open human cell wall anymore. Some of the offspring’s would be trapped in the human cells because the neuraminidase has been inhibited, therefore they cannot come out to replicate it self.
Tamilflu are made from skimic acid that is extracted from our common kitchen spice, the star anise. Skimic acid are also found in pine, gingko and spruce.
Tamiflu cannot stop the flu from spreading. It only helps the body by inhibit the virus that is already inside your body from replicating further. It will shorten the duration of the flu. Tamiflu helps our body to inhibit the virus active protein, so if it is taken early when the flu symptoms appear, it will help our body to recover faster and prevent the illness from getting worst.
Your body is the best natural defense.
In order to recover from virus attack naturally, we have to build up our body natural defense. Eat well balanced meal and lots of greens. Protein and carbohydrates are important part of our diet. Minerals in green vegetables would help your body to absorb vitamins efficiently. Minerals and vitamins work hand in hand, so make sure your daily intake consists of these two important supplement. Take plenty of fluids and exercise regularly but don’t overly exert yourself.

I have been quite busy lately trying to close some new sales and have not been updating my post for almost a week. The year end is approaching and I have some catching up to do! Anyway it is also a good time to take a look again at the stock market!
I received a call in the late afternoon that my little toddler (20 months old) was having high fever due to teething and I rushed him to see a doctor immediately. Luckily I was around my housing area after meeting up with a customer before that. My ear type thermometer showed the temperature as 38.80 Deg C but when the doctor checked his temperature using a digital thermometer, it showed 39.7 Deg C. Immediately, the doctor told the nurse to give him a sponge bath and the they inserted a rectal fever medicine to reduce the body temperature.
Anyway, I was told to take his temperature from time to time and monitor his progress at night. So, now I am doing my night shift and typing this post at 4 am in the morning but did not manage to finish it because I was real tired that time............continue.....!
I tried to give him some Chinese medicine, leng ngeong (deer antlers) drink that is quite effective to lower down body temperature but he refused to drink it. I have to add some of the concoction in his milk. Genuine leng ngeong will have a very strong aromatic smell and the price is around RM15 for one serving. The original ones are made from deer antlers but imitation ones are made from mountain goat horns! Well, my kids have been taking leng ngeong whenever they have fever and I have been using them for years.
Gotta go! Have to check his temperature again and sponge bath him. Then I will need to take a short nap before tonight baby sitting night shift again!
Whenever I feel a bit lazy to out for supper, I would cook Maggi Assam Laksa to fill my tummy. Maggi Mee Assam Laksa is one of my favourite instant noodles but I wish they would make it a little bit sourer and spicier in taste. I remember, it used to be very sour when they first launched this product back in the 70s. My auntie cooked a bowl of Maggi Assam laksa for me that time when I came back from school, and it taste real good back then!....yum yum!
Well, I made this bowl of Assam laksa maggi mee for supper, added some bacon and fu chuk (fried bean curd) into it so that I will not wake up hungry in the middle of the night! Sometimes, if I have some leftovers mint leaves and bunga kantan (wild ginger flower), then I would add them into the assam laksa as well.
