This site has been created to educate consumers about Homeopathy as it pertains to influenza, a.k.a. 'flu'. This includes seasonal flu, “swine” or H1N1 flu, avian flu, and other flus that may arise in the future. Homeopathy has been used with great degree of success in influenza and other epidemics for 200 years all over the world. In the 1918 flu pandemic homeopaths reported around 1% mortality in their cases, while conventional doctors were losing 30% of their patients.
Influenza site update, November 18, 2011
Scientists still remain concerned about the deadly bird flu called H5N1; it sometimes infects people but not easily. Currently there is notable activity in Indonesia where poultry and humans live in close proximity to one another and in these circumstances transmission can take place. On 15 November 2011, The Ministry of Health of Indonesia announced one newly confirmed case of human infection with avian influenza A (H5N1) virus. The case was a 29-year old mother of 2 cases who were earlier reported from the Bangli district, Bali Province. She developed symptoms on 10 October and died on 17 October. An epidemiological investigation conducted by the Ministry of Health and local health officers indicated that she lived in an area with poultry, and household and neighborhood poultry had died prior to her children's illness. Of the 182 cases confirmed to date in Indonesia, 150 have been fatal.
Recently, scientific researchers have been altering the genes of the H5N1 to make the virus spread more easily between laboratory animals, so that they can gather more information and understanding about its transmission. This has raised concerns about biosafety and how such research is regulated. This story made headline news on November 17th.
The Hollywood movie “Contagion” with its stellar cast was released this fall, it follows the rapid progress of a lethal airborne virus that kills within days. Beth Emhoff (Gwyneth Paltrow) returns to Minnesota from a Hong Kong business trip, she attributes the malaise she feels to jet lag but her rapid, untimely death is just the beginning of a tense, thought provoking and fear mongering movie. As the fast-moving epidemic grows, the worldwide medical community races to produce an effective vaccine. An alternative remedy called, “Forsythia” is mentioned in the movie. Although its medicinal use is not well known in the United States, it is highly esteemed in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Chinese practitioners use the powdered fruit in herbal remedies for a variety of ailments, including colds and bronchitis.
The authors of this web site have worked hard to give the concerned public the most accurate, up to date information relating to the use of homeopathic remedies. Movie plots such as “Contagion” generate fear; the intent of this web site is to give accurate information regarding the use of homeopathic remedies for the regular flu and for those worse case scenarios as featured in this movie. It is interesting to note that the movie plot partly took place in Minnesota where we initiated this project and some of the filming actually took place in Western Springs, Illinois, right on the doorstep of one of the web site authors! If you watched this movie and are concerned then please do look at the disaster survival book which can be downloaded from this web site, it will help you to become more proactive, educated and less fearful.
Regarding the 2011 – 2012 regular flu season, you will find plenty of information on this web site to help you manage a bout of the flu. Influenza is a contagious disease which can be spread by coughing, sneezing or by nasal secretions. Anyone can get influenza but rates of infection are highest in children. Young children, people 65 or older, pregnant women and people with certain health conditions or with a weakened immune system can get much sicker.
Many people choose to get the influenza vaccine and there are two types. The inactivated (killed) vaccine is given by injection. The live, attenuated (weakened) vaccine is sprayed into the nostrils. Influenza viruses are always changing so annual vaccinations are recommended and each year scientists try to match the viruses in the vaccine to those most likely to cause the flu that year. The flu vaccine will not prevent disease from other viruses including flu viruses not contained in the vaccine. Unfortunately, some people can have a severe reaction to the vaccine. Relative Risk Reduction from the vaccine in otherwise healthy adults is about 59%. However, this number is misleading because actual influenza affects only a small minority of the population. Absolute Risk Reduction is only 1.5% so in effect; the vaccine protects only about 1.5% of the healthy people taking it. There are no indications that it is helpful at all to people with weakened immune system, such as the elderly.

Homeopathic remedies offer an alternative way to manage your health and this web site has plenty of articles and related research so that you can make an informed decision regarding health choices. Many homeopathic pharmacies are now stocking “Influenzinum” the homeopathic influenza defense; it contains homeopathic doses of the 3 most recent strains of the influenza virus. These are determined by the Pasteur institute for the 2011 – 2012 flu season. You will find this product can be obtained from many of the pharmacies listed in the quick link section of this web site.
The authors of www.flusolution.net strongly recommend that our visitors look at www.homoeopathicflu.com a new homeopathy site and e-book that can be downloaded for free!
If you are worried about the swine flu, read the following article on Swine Flu Outbreak. Flu Solution can give you all the information that you need to know to help yourself and your loved ones.
Homeopaths believe that if your body is generally healthy, you have a much higher chance of success in fighting any disease, including flu. Therefore, we feel that everybody should get homeopathic treatment before they become seriously ill with an acute disease. On one hand, it will help you deal with all the chronic symptoms you may be suffering with now, and on the other, it will make your body stronger and more able to fight off whatever acute infection may come along, including the flu. The authors of the site, as well as many others in Minnesota Homeopathic Association and around the world are practicing homeopaths and will be happy to help you in this respect. For a primer on Classical Homeopathy read Dr. Jacob Mirman's on-line book here: www.BookOnHealing.com.
Once you do get sick, homeopathic treatment is very effective in improving your body’s ability to fight off the infection, thereby reducing duration and intensity of the disease. It is important to understand that homeopathic remedies do not cure any disease. They just improve your body’s ability to do it naturally on its own.
What are the conventional medicine approaches to flu?
The best way avoid the flu is preventative treatment. This means personal hygiene to prevent infection during outbreaks, and immunization before the outbreak to teach the body to process the virus effectively once you become infected. Then, once one becomes sick, its mostly symptomatic relief with drugs. If complications arise, such as pneumonia, supportive care is given to help the body survive the infection while the immune system is fighting it. We can also use antibiotics to kill bacterial infections superimposed on top of the flu virus, such as bacterial pneumonias. We don't have anything in conventional medicine to stimulate the immune system itself to more effective action.
Immunization may provide effective protection, if a good vaccine is made early in the epidemic. However, even though the vaccine is definitely recommended by most conventional experts, some experts are not particularly sure if vaccinating people with weak immune system for influenza does much good, and healthy people usually do well anyway. Some novel virus pandemics, however, may present a different challenge. To our understanding, most studies showing reduction of mortality from the use of influenza vaccine have design flaws. We are looking for good double-blind placebo-controlled studies that prove vaccine’s effectiveness. We have not found any so far. If you know of any, please send them our way. In any case, this site is not about vaccines, so we don’t hold a particular opinion on this controversy.
Homeopathic remedies do not have any direct effect on the virus. They just modify our body's response to it by enabling our defense mechanism to a better recognition of what needs to be fought off. For this reason, they never have an issue with resistance. In the end, Homeopathy may end up being the most reliable method of saving lives in a bad epidemic. It has happened before, and it may happen again. We owe it to ourselves to be ready.
And being ready is not hard. It requires a bit of education, a simple inexpensive remedy kit and access to a homeopath. The individual remedies are cheap and easily available in local stores and online. The advantage of having a kit at home is immediate readiness when you or your family member gets sick.
What you will find on this site:
In the articles section we posted several articles about the use of Homeopathy in influenza. Some of these are double blind placebo controlled studies from peer-reviewed medical journals, the kind that doctors like to read. Some give you basic understanding about the use of Homeopathy, and one article is a report from 1921 issue of a homeopathic journal on the use of Homeopathy in the 1918 flu pandemic.
In the remedies section you will find a list of remedies useful in influenza, with their homeopathic indications. This is a very abbreviated list, as many other remedies could be needed. However, these are the most commonly used remedies in flu cases. These remedies were chosen in consultation with a group of homeopaths and several homeopathic books. This group of remedies should cover 80 to 90% of flu cases, and can be quite useful, if used properly, in getting your body strengthened to fight the flu.
The remedies mentioned are available for sale in all homeopathic pharmacies. They are inexpensive and classified as over-the-counter FDA approved drugs. We put the most likely ones together in a multi-potency kit prepared by an FDA - inspected homeopathic pharmacy.
We suggest several books for people serious about using Homeopathy to improve their health. You can buy them from the Books section of the site.
The site will be updated as new information on the epidemic becomes available.
