Swine Flu Who is Making Money From It?

Posted On : Aug-23-2011 | seen (167) times | Article Word Count : 607 |

There has been a disturbing outcome from the recent outbreak of the H1N1 virus—better known as “swine flu”: some Internet vendors are trying to make money by offering cures or preventative “medicines” online. In fact, these sites have become large enough in number that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Federal Trade Commission have felt it necessary to issue an alert to the public.
There is no vaccine to prevent swine flu—yet. Likewise, there is no magic pill that will instantaneously cure you of any form of influenza. The best way to prevent transmission of the H1N1 virus is to wash your hands often, eat lots of healthy foods every day and stay away from people who are showing flu symptoms. For those who have the H1N1 virus, a doctor can help administer a course of treatment that will likely involve bed rest to avoid infecting others.
Internet sites and other promotions for products that claim to diagnose, prevent, help, treat or cure the H1N1 virus may not be legitimate. The FDA is now advising operators of offending sites that they must take prompt action to correct and/or remove promotions of fraudulent H1N1 products or face enforcement action.
Look for FDA Approval
You may be tempted to try some of these products as a preventative measure, but the FDA has warned that consumers who purchase products that are not approved, cleared or authorized by the FDA may be asking for trouble. The use of unapproved products for the treatment or prevention of influenza could be a risk your health, as well as the health of your family.
What sorts of products are being marketed? They come in all varieties and could include dietary supplements or other food products or products that purport to be drugs, devices or vaccines. These products will not prevent the transmission of H1N1 or offer effective treatments against infections caused by the influenza virus.
Make sure that you contact your health-care provider or a legitimate medical-supply service if you have questions or concerns about medical products or personal protective equipment. You can also visit the web sites of the FDA and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). You can find out which products have been approved, cleared or authorized to diagnose, treat, prevent, stop or cure infections caused by swine flu.
