Preventing H1N1
Add to this Vitamin D3 and lots of sunshine.Be careful with the Vitamin C.It's better to eat it in natural foods.
Dr. Vinay Goyal is an MBBS, DRM, DNB (Intensivist and Thyroid specialist)
having clinical experience of over 20 years. He has worked in institutions like Hinduja Hospital, Bombay Hospital, Saifee Hospital, Tata Memorial etc. Presently, he is heading our Nuclear Medicine Department and Thyroid clinic at Riddhivinayak Cardiac and Critical Centre, Malad (W). The following message given by him, makes a lot of sense and is important for all of you to know
The only portals of entry are the nostrils and mouth/throat. In a
global epidemic of this nature, it's almost impossible not coming into
contact with H1N1 in spite of all precautions. Contact with H1N1 is not
so much of a problem as proliferation is.
While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1
infection, in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of symptoms
and development of secondary infections, some very simple steps, not
fully highlighted in most official communications, can be practiced
(instead of focusing on how to stock N95 or Tamiflu):
1. Frequent hand-washing (well highlighted in all official communications).
2. "Hands-off-the-face" approach. Resist all temptations to touch any
part of face (unless you want to eat, bathe or slap).
3. Gargle twice a day with warm salt water (use Listerine if you don't
trust salt). H1N1 takes 2-3 days after initial infection in the throat/
nasal cavity to proliferate and show characteristic symptoms. Simple
gargling prevents proliferation. In a way, gargling with salt water has
the same effect on a healthy individual that Tamiflu has on an infected
one. Don't underestimate this simple, inexpensive and powerful
preventative method.
4. Similar to 3 above, clean your nostrils at least once every day with
warm salt water. Not everybody may be good at Jala Neti or Sutra Neti
(very good Yoga asanas to clean nasal cavities), but blowing the nose
hard once a day and swabbing both nostrils with cotton buds dipped in
warm salt water is very effective in bringing down viral population.
5. Boost your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vitamin C
(Amla and other citrus fruits). If you have to supplement with Vitamin
C tablets, make sure that it also has Zinc to boost absorption.
6. Drink as much of warm liquids as you can. Drinking warm liquids
has the same effect as gargling, but in the reverse direction. They
wash off proliferating viruses from the throat into the stomach where
they cannot survive, proliferate or do any harm.

Just for fun!
I am a little slow when it comes to technology but I discovered last month that you can download the Ensign, New Era, and Friend magazine along with the scriptures and many other LDS materials from iTunes for FREE.
This has been so fun. I listen to it in the car whenever I am out and about. I have listened to all of the August and September Ensign and New Era. I have not read both in their entirety for quite some time. The spirit has been with me more since I have started doing this. My mind has been uplifted and I have noticed that I have reflected on the stories and talks often throughout the month.
I am sure that many of you already knew about this, but for those of us who are slower with technology I thought I would share the good news.

October Spotlight
This month the spot light is Jamie Quesenberry
I was born in Poughkeepsie, New York. But, other than a couple years split between there and Utah when I was a baby, the rest of my childhood was spent in San Diego, California. My parents are Kaye and Glen Hunsaker. They both grew up here in Utah, so I have many relatives around here. In fact, the only vacation we used to take when I was younger was the annual trip through the desert - in a station wagon without seat belts nor air conditioning - to Utah to visit our relatives. We would usually leave at night so my dad could drive through the night and avoid the heat. Mom would pack sandwiches and apples so we could avoid having to stop in (gasp!) Las Vegas.I was shy as a child and teenager and did well in school. I went to BYU on a scholarship and majored in Civil Engineering, despite hating Math. My dream was to become an architect, but since BYU didn't offer that major, I chose Engineering as a close substitute. After my first year of college, my dad (who was the Stake President) set me up on a blind date with my future husband. It took me a while to pronounce his last name! We were inseparable until he left on his mission 3 months later. When he returned from his mission, he was so mean to me that I decided there was nothing to stop me from going on a mission myself! A week before I left, Steve proposed to me. But I ignored him and left anyway for the Argentina Buenos Aires South mission. We were engaged a week after I got back.After my mission and marriage I finished up college at the same time as Steve. We moved to Lawrence, Kansas, where Steve attended Law School and I worked in Kansas City. I worked until after we had our first child, then cried so much every time I dropped her off at the babysitter that I decided to quit. I have been, pretty much, a stay at home mom ever since.After law school, we moved to Seattle, Washington. We lived there for a few years, then decided to leave big city life for the small island town of Friday Harbor, Washington. We call this our hippie period. We lived in a double wide mobile home with a huge garden, a wood stove for heat, and chickens. We had 4 of our children in Washington State. We moved to Salem in 1997. We lived in the house the Emmichs own for about 7 years. We decided to move the year we had 6 kids, 3 foster children, an exchange student, my brother living part time with us, and I found out I was pregnant again. That house only has 1 shower! So we remodeled the house we live in now.We now have 8 children, 2 son-in-laws, 1 grandson, 2 cats, 4 chickens, and 2 bunnies. Maybe our hippie period isn't over yet!!I enjoy reading, walking, gardening, traveling, and, weirdly enough, math. Also, weird is the fact that I love meeting and talking with people, something that would have made me die of anxiety when I was young.
