Is the CDC trying to poison us?

I went to the CDC website to research what info they are putting out on the H1N1 flu.

I found this:


Interim Guidance on Antiviral Recommendations for Patients with Confirmed or Suspected Swine Influenza A (H1N1) Virus Infection and Close Contacts
...
Antiviral Resistance

This swine influenza A (H1N1) virus is sensitive (susceptible) to the neuraminidase inhibitor antiviral medications zanamivir and oseltamivir.
...


So, they are saying that Zanamivir and Oseltamivir are a recommended treatment for the "swine flu". Now, move on to the next page in the website, and it says this about Zanamivir


Zanamivir

Limited data are available about the safety or efficacy of zanamivir for persons with underlying respiratory disease or for persons with complications of acute influenza, and zanamivir is licensed only for use in persons without underlying respiratory or cardiac disease.

Umm, if you've got the flu, you've got "underlying respiratory disease".

Jeez.

Any thoughts?

Just in case it wasn't clear what I stated.


According to the CDC and WHO websites both Tamiflu and Ralenza (Oseltamivir and Zanamivir) can treat the A/1H1N Swine Flu strain.

Tamiflu=Oseltamivir and Ralenza=Zanamivir

you should know that zanamivir may cause serious or life-threatening breathing problems, more commonly in patients with an airways disease such as asthma or emphysema. If you have trouble breathing or have wheezing or shortness of breath after your dose of zanamivir, stop using zanamivir and get medical attention immediately. If you have difficulty breathing, and have been prescribed a rescue medication, use your rescue medication immediately and then call for medical attention. Do not inhale any more zanamivir without first talking to your doctor.

you should know that some people who have taken zanamivir to treat the flu became confused, agitated, anxious, behaved strangely, had seizures or hallucinations (seeing things or hearing voices that do not exist), and harmed themselves, in some cases causing death. These symptoms were most common in children and teenagers but were also experienced by adults.

Well no wonder these things are called drugs, I think it is common knowledge with people on here that you cannot trust any medication that the dear government is giving. ;)

It always seems to boil down to money.


In Europe, Switzerland's Roche Holding AG -- the maker of Tamiflu -- saw its share price rise around 4 percent while GlaxoSmithkline PLC, which manufactures the Relenza drug, spiked 6 percent.

If they offer you one of these treatments, may you be armed with knowledge.

I would repeat that I am able to provide the brand new homeopathic remedy
Mexican Swine Flu Virus (contains no virus whatsoever!) as a safe alternative immunisation for this outbreak. I'm pretty certain, due to personal experience, that this will confer at least a temporary energetic immunity
