I doubt that the specific virus would have to be included in Influenzinum
for it to be helpful -- since what would make it work would be symptom
similarity, and from everything I've heard the H1N1 virus is pretty
recognizeable as a flu-like illness of some kind.

It is unfortunate that we do not have any records of the remedies that
were used in the 1918 pandemic which was conclusively proved to be the
H1N1 virus from the frozen remains of victims tested a few years ago.

I have used Gelsemium 30 in the Wet dose taken 3 times daily with Ferr
Phos 6x also taken tds and this has helped to abort an oncoming virus
many times. This formula is particularly effective against a cold virus
and if it goes down to the throat I used Bryonia 200 in the Wet dose
which stops the virus in a few hours from affecting the lungs.

I would doubt very much that Influenzinum could provide any prophylaxis
to the current H1N1 virus as it would not have been included into the
current product as it usually takes some months before it is updated.

I noticed that you have just posted a few minutes ago and the time in
London is 0400hrs GMT. Do you live in some other part of the world?
