FDA sets sights on products that purport to fight swine flu (Washington Post)
"A shampoo that prevents airborne virus particles that settle on the scalp from causing swine flu. Special disposable gloves that offer protection from ATMs, door handles or steering wheels that might be "contaminated" with H1N1. A "natural immunization" that purports to be a safer alternative to a flu shot. "
Anyone who is not lazy, is coming up with a product to help "prevent" the swine flu. If pharmaceutical companies can benefit from it, so why could not them. Even though, using common sense and simple hygiene would prevent contracting the flu: washing hands, having enough vitamins (C & D) and drinking a lot of fluids. The same principle applies to all those organic food, bottled water, etc. In most cases, those products are no different from non-organic counterparts, however, being labeled as such will cost more.
