Some Information About Avian Influenza

January 20th, 2010

Press

Avian influenza is a virus infection that normally occurs in wild birds and pathologically in poultry, its forms causing mild symptoms or even death within 48 hours. It can also infect humans.

Wild birds are a reservoir of the virus and they spread the disease among the poultry which gets into close contact to contaminated dirt, water, food and wild bird excrements.

The avian influenza viruses can cause a mild form of the disease that does not kill the infected birds, and it only reduces the egg production, and a highly virulent form that can lead to death within 48 hours by multiple internal organ lesions.

Until 1997 nobody knew that the virus can affect humans, but it has happened to those who have been in close contact with infected poultry. Until now, no cases of human to human transmission of the infection were registered.

Getting in close contact with an infected bird can lead to human contamination. People that take care or sell in markets such infected birds, like chicken, turkey and ducks, inhale particles from dried excrements, or feathers which are contaminated.

Eating cooked chicken is not perilous because heat kills the H5N1 virus.

If you have been lately in close contact with one ore more infected birds, you could develop one or more of these symptoms: fever, lethargy, sore throat, muscle aches, cough, breathing problems, and multi-organ failure, meaning that you have been infected with avian influenza.

Some people say: Why worry about Bird flu?

We should worry because:

- H5N1 virus has caused by now millions of bird deaths, and hundreds of humans only in Asia;

- If the virus mutates it will spread from human to human, causing a global pandemic;

- Chicken industry will be seriously affected.

Until now, in treating avian influenza, doctors have used antiviral drugs obtaining excellent results, and they are waiting for the accreditation of a H5N1 vaccine. Doctors have learned that H5N1 virus is resistant amantadine and rimantadine, two antiviral drugs used for treating human influenza. There remain oseltamavir and zanamavir to be tested.

If you have a flock of chickens it is not necessarily to remove them because in the US no cases of bird flu were registered among poultry. But you need to be careful and report any sudden deaths you observe in your poultry to the Minister of Agriculture.

Hunters are also advised not to eat sick game, to wear some plastic or rubber protection when handling the game, and to cook very well their game.

In case of a bird flu infection, the government will prohibit selling chickens in the markets while there is a threat of bird flu and also will suspend the imports of chicken from the infected countries; will advise people to stay away from any kind of birds; will question farmers to report any suspect deaths observed on poultry.

Swine Flu Information

January 19th, 2010

Press

Swine Influenza (swine flu) is a respiratory disease of pigs caused by type A influenza virus that regularly causes outbreaks of influenza in pigs. The virus currently spreading among people is now generally referred to as swine flu. Swine flu viruses are usually of H1N1 sub-type. The swine flu that has spread to humans is a version of this virus. Swine influenza viruses may circulate among swine throughout the year, but most outbreaks occur during the late fall and winter months similar to outbreaks in humans.

Why is swine flu affecting humans?

The swine flu virus has changed and is now able to infect humans and transmit between them. Most commonly, these cases occur in persons with direct exposure to pigs (e.g. children near pigs at a honest or workers in the swine industry). In addition, there have been documented cases of one person spreading swine flu to others.

Symptoms of swine flu are:

Quick breathing or distress breathing

Bluish or gray skin color

Not drinking enough fluids

Severe or persistent vomiting

Not interacting

Irritation

Flu-like symptoms improve but then return with fever and worse cough

Pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen

Sudden dizziness

Confusion

Sore throat

Nausea

Diarrhea

Treatment of Swine Flu

Mild influenza illness does not require specific anti viral medicine.

Medicines should be taken only on advice of the doctor.

Paracetamol for fever and ibuprofen for myalgia can be taken as per the advice of the dooctor.

Oseltamivir, if prescribed / advised by the doctor only.

Children need to be given paediatric preparation and dosage of the above drugs.

Medicines (other than paracetamol) available for fever, headache, body ache in general groceries, pan shops etc should not be taken as they may contain aspirin.

Aspirin should not be given for fever or body ache.

Patients should take plenty of fluids.

If fever is not responding, there is worsening of symptoms and in particular altered sensorium (confusion, incoherent speech etc) / loss of consciousness or difficulty in breathing, patient should be referred to nearest identified health facility.

Swine Flu Precaution

Precautions from swine flu for general person

Get a yearly seasonal flu vaccine as the first and most vital step in protecting against seasonal influenza.

People at high risk of serious flu complications, including young children, pregnant women, people with chronic health conditions like asthma, diabetes or heart and lung disease and people 65 years and older should get vaccination.

Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.

Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread this way.

Try to avoid close contact with sick people.

If you are sick with flu-like illness, stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone

While sick, limit contact with others to keep from infecting them

Reduce the time spent in crowded settings if possible

Improve airflow in your living space by opening windows

Practice excellent health habits including adequate sleep, eating nutritious food, and keeping physically active

Precautions form swine flu for sick person

Keep the sick person in a room separate from the common areas of the house. (For example, a spare bedroom with its own bathroom, if that’s possible.) Keep the sickroom door closed.

Wear mask all the time. Three layered surgical mask should be provided by the hospital / community health worker. If mask is not readily available, mouth and nose should be covered with a piece of cloth / handkerchief / tissue paper.

avoid smoking

The sick person should clean his hands with soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub often, especially after coughing and/or sneezing.

Unless necessary, person with the flu should not leave the home when he has a fever or during the time that he is most likely to spread the infection to others

Avoid going into the community, school, office, markets

If person with the flu needs to leave the home (for example, for medical care), he should cover the nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing

Have the sick person wear a surgical mask if they need to be in a common area of the house near other persons

If possible, sick persons should use a separate bathroom. This bathroom should be cleaned daily with household disinfectant

General Information on Bird Flu

January 16th, 2010

Press

Bird flu is a disease caused by type “A” influenza viruses.

Wild birds are a natural reservoir of type A of flu virus, but they are not affected by it. They can infect domestic birds such as chicken or turkey, which get ill and die.

Birds get infected if they get in contact with secretions or excretions of the affected birds, with contaminated water or food and even with contaminated surfaces (dirt and cages).

The avian influenza viruses can cause a mild form of the disease that does not kill the infected birds, and it only reduces the egg production, and a highly virulent form that can lead to death within 48 hours by multiple internal organ lesions.

Type A of influenza virus has many different subtypes due to changes in some proteins situated on the surface of the A virus. These changeable proteins are Hemagglutinin (HA) and Neuraminidase (NA). There exist 16 known HA subtypes and 9 NA subtypes of “A” virus, but there are possible many combinations between HA and NA proteins, leading to new subtypes. All these subtypes can now be found in birds.

Until 1997 nobody knew that the virus can affect humans, but it has happened to those who have been in close contact with infected poultry. Until now, no cases of human to human transmission of the infection were registered.

Human influenza viruses generally refer to those subtypes that can infect only humans. There are known to exist three “A” subtypes of human influenza viruses (H1N1, H1N2, and H3N2). There is the possibility that these subtypes to have came from birds originally and scientists worry about the possibility that the bird flu viruses to mutate and transmit from human to human.

Some symptoms of bird flu infection on humans are: fever, lethargy, sore throat, breathing problems, conjunctivitis, muscle aches and cough.

Studies suggest that antiviral drugs used against human influenza might be useful in treating bird flu infection in humans too, but this thing must be studied more.

The H5N1 virus is one of the most lethal subtypes of the influenza “A” virus. In the last few years, in Asia, H5N1 caused millions of deaths among domestic birds and hundreds among humans. People got infected because they got in close contact with the infected poultry and the contaminated surfaces, but otherwise H5N1 remains a rare disease in people and does not spread from human to human.

There was one case in Indonesia where a family member is suspected to have transmitted the illness to the other members, but this fact has not been sustained scientifically.

Scientists are concerned about a possible mutation of the virus, leading to a global pandemic, similar to the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918-1919 when 40-50 million people died.

Doctors have learned that H5N1 virus is resistant amantadine and rimantadine, two antiviral drugs used for treating human influenza. There remain oseltamavir and zanamavir to be tested.

A H5N1 vaccine is being tested and the results seem to be promising, this leading to an absolute control over the bird flu and even to its eradication.

Critical Information about the Flu Epidemic

December 17th, 2009

Press

Influenza is a global condition that affects millions of people every year and is responsible for a large number of deaths and an even greater number of hospitalizations worldwide. This isn’t a condition where only third world countries experience fatalities where Australia experiences between 2500 – 3000 fatalities which is far greater than the average yearly road toll (around 1600-1700). This has really decreased from the original 5000 from a decade ago.

The emergence of better and even more effective Flu Vaccinations in Australia has had a direct impact in the reduction in the number of deaths and recorded illnesses in the general population. It’s been proven that residents who buy an Influenza vaccine have a greatly increased chance of making a full recovery from Flu related illnesses.

People are now educating themselves in the affects of Influenza, and are also exposing themselves to massive amounts of information due to the Internet and other methods of advanced communication. With so much tainted and incorrect information to sort through it is understandable that the average citizen finds it hard to find the truth. In order to become fully informed about Influenza and each effective preventive measure, it’s vital to become educated about the Flu and Flu vaccinations.

Here are some vital facts -

The Influenza Virus is the instigator of an infection caused by the flu (Three types: A, B, and C) and is extremely contagious. Its main method of spreading is from person to person by way of moisture droplets that contain the virus. It’s also spread by touching someone with the Flu or touching virus contaminated surfaces. For example; if you touch the same surface or touch an infected person, you increase the risk of contracting the Flu.

The Flu can and sometimes does cause death and is responsible for about 15,000 hospitalizations in Australia every year, particularly among risk groups. It’s estimated that there are about 1.2 million Australians under the age of 65 who run a high risk for contracting the Flu. Flu related illness or death is more apparent with people who suffer from chronic conditions and diseases, especially those who suffer a combination of heart and lung disease.

Flu symptoms include: High fever, sore throat, dry cough—sometimes severe, muscle aches, headaches, congested nasal passages, and extreme fatigue.
A low percentage of around 20 to 50 percent of people working the in health care industry really receive an annual Flu Vaccination despite the fact they are in the high risk range of spreading the disease. It’s a proven fact that getting Flu vaccinations every single year is the best means of Influenza prevention.

You can implement measures to protect you and your family with a small time, patience and research to become educated about the influenza Virus. Additionally, it’s vital to learn about and beware of the myths surrounding the Flu including the following: Influenza vaccines may really cause the Flu; and the Flu is never a serious illness—both of these statements are complete myth.

Aus Vax are winning the fight against the Flu virus by administering a Flu Vaccination to Schools, businesses and government agencies. As a result of the Influenza Vaccine, Ausvax and other vaccination clinics have managed to reduce the annual Australian death toll down from 5000 to 2500.

New Information on Pneumonia Treatment and Prevention

December 10th, 2009

Press

Surgery

If pneumonia gets complicated with empyema, abscess, then one might need surgical procedures such as: thoracotomy, thoracentesis. Chest tubes are needed to drain the infected fluid, they remain in place for 1-3 days and may perforate the diaphragm and accidentally injure the lung.

Pneumonia prevention

Avoid and treat colds and influenza as soon as possible and as efficiently as possible. Maintain a excellent hygiene of your hands, have a rich diet in dark-colored fruits and vegetables and fresh food, have an active socially life, take different zinc preparations because studies have shown that zinc has substantial benefits against colds, flus, allergies, pneumonia. Zinc has excellent effects on the inflammatory response and immune system, its action is unknownb but its effects are clear.

Side efeects included are: dry mouth, constipation, terrible taste, in case of superdosage vomiting, dehydration, and restlessness address as quickly as possible a physician. Zinc may also produce allergies and interact with other medication, it reduces the absorption of certain antibiotics. Zinc absorption is reduced by high amounts of calcium or phosphorus. And if taken for a long time zinc causes copper deficiencies.

Vitamin C

Studies have shown that flu, cold are reduced by large doses of vitamin C. Vitamin C appears to have preventive effects and helps the infection to be cured more rapidly. But taking high doses of vitamin C determins headaches and intestinal and urinary problems and even kidney stones. Increases iron absorption so people with blood disorders shouldn’t take large doses of vitamin C.

Echinacea is a herbal remedy that prevents the onset and symptoms of a flu. But it hasn’t been determined exactly which type of Echinacea is usefull and if the whole plant or only the roots and herb are effective. What you should watch aut when taking

Echinacea is that there may appear allergic reactions such as: erythema nodosum with muscle and joint aches, and sore throat and fever. You shouldn’t take natural remedy without the doctor’s approuval.

Vaccines for Haemophilus Influenzae

All children should be vaccinated against Haemophilus influenzae, especially those under five years.

Pneumococcal Vaccines

People of all ages should be given pneumococcal vaccines to prevent flus and pneumonia. It has been demonstrated that this vaccine protects children in day care from serious respiratory infections. Those with high risk at the administration of the vaccine are: children with sickle-cell disease, adults or children who have immune deficiencies, patients with kidney disease or kidney transplants, patients with splin problems, alcoholics. Sometimes the vaccine protection lasts for over six years.

Antiviral Agents are used to treat and prevent influenza A, B. Amantadine (Symmetrel) and rimantadine (Flumadine) are M2 inhibitors. They have the following benefits: offer protection against influenza A and prevent severe illness, lessen the severity of the flu but they may cause nausea, vomiting, and indigestion.

Neuraminidase Inhibitors such as: Zanamivir (Relenza) and oseltamivir (Tamiflu) are designed to block a key viral enzyme, neuraminidase, which is involved with viral replication. So, they are effective for treating and preventing A and B strains of influenza, they may even help reduce transmission of the virus, they may reduce complications of influenza.

Bird Flu Causes Symptoms Information With Treatment

December 8th, 2009

Press

Although their symptoms are similar, SARS is caused by completely different viruses. Influenza viruses also are more contagious and cannot be as readily contained as SARS by isolating people who have the infection. Scientists dread the bird flu virus could evolve into a form that is easily spread between people, resulting in an extremely contagious and lethal disease The two viruses could recombine inside the victim’s body, producing a hybrid that could readily spread from person to person. The grimmest scenario would be a global outbreak to rival the flu pandemic of 1918 and 1919, which claimed millions of lives worldwide. For now, researchers are trying to develop a vaccine that would protect people in the event of a bird flu pandemic.

Causes of Bird Flu

The common Causes of Bird Flu :

Bird flu (or Avian flu) is currently being used to describe the influenza virus, H5N1, which is producing a highly contagious and rapidly fatal disease, leading to severe epidemics in birds.

Bird flu is caused by different subtypes of influenza A virus affecting chickens, ducks and other birds Viruses which cause mild disease can mutate into viruses that can cause serious disease (highly pathogenic).

Symptoms of Bird Flu

Some Symptoms of Bird Flu :

Cough

Fever

Sore throat

Muscle aches

conjunctivitis

Treatment of Bird Flu

Antiviral medications used to treat human flu viruses help to reduce the symptoms of bird flu, but it’s not yet clear whether these work for the current type of bird flu.

Oseltamivir (brand name Tamiflu) and zanamivir (brand name Relenza) antiviral medications used to treat regular flu may be helpful in the treatment of bird flu.

But, their effectiveness against the H5N1 subtype of the virus is uncertain, and there are also concerns about the availability and cost of these medications.

Bird Flu – Information on Bird Flu

December 5th, 2009

Press

Bird flu has led to the deaths of hundreds of millions of wild and domestic birds and to a small number of human deaths. Right now, but, bird flu remains hard for humans to contract. Most people who have developed symptoms have had close contact with sick birds, though in a few cases, bird flu has passed from one person to another.

Flu viruses occur naturally in birds and have been recognized for more than 100 years. They are popularly known as bird flu, avian flu, bird influenza or avian influenza, and there are more than a dozen sub-types. They are often carried by wild birds, though it is usually domesticated birds that become sick.

Generally, the viruses do not affect humans, or cause mild illness at worst.

Diarrhea and Abdominal Pain: Diarrhea and abdominal pain has been a symptom in some patients, but not all of them. Watery diarrhea may be a symptom in bird flu cases, but is not a common symptom in regular flu. Diarrhea comes before respiratory symptoms. Two young patients had encephalitis and diarrhea without any respiratory symptoms.

The name H5N1 refers to the type of proteins found in the protein coat of the influenza virus – haemagglutinin 5(H5) and neuraminidase 1 (N1). There are dozens of different proteins that can be present, so that flu viruses called H1N1, H1N2, and H3N2 etc are also known.

Officials of the Kano state avian flu control committee detected the presence of Avian flu among 16,000 chickens on a farm a few days ago, a month after the area was declared free of the virus.

Avian influenza cannot be diagnosed by symptoms alone, so a laboratory test is required. Avian influenza is usually diagnosed by collecting a swab from the nose or throat during the first few days of illness. This swab is then sent to a laboratory, where they will either look for avian influenza virus using a molecular test, or they will try to grow the virus. Growing avian influenza viruses should only be done in laboratories with high levels of protection. If it is late in the illness, it may be hard to find an avian influenza virus directly using these methods.

The virus has been identified in 12 states, including the largest city, Lagos, as well as around the federal capital, Abuja, since it was first confirmed in Nigeria four months ago.

Avian influenza infection in domestic poultry causes two main forms of disease that are distinguished by low and high extremes of virulence. The “low pathogenic” form may go undetected and usually causes only mild symptoms (such as ruffled feathers and a drop in egg production). But, the highly pathogenic form spreads more rapidly through flocks of poultry. It is the highly pathogenic form of H5N1 that concerns scientists.

Avian influenza (or bird flu) is a highly infectious disease affecting many species of birds, including chickens, duck, turkeys and geese. It can affect commercial, wild and pet birds. There are 15 types of bird flu, but the type that is causing concern at the moment is the deadly strain H5N1.

Avian flu passes from birds to other birds, but there have also been human cases. As of January 2007, the World Health Organization (WHO) had confirmed 270 cases of H5N1 in humans in Azerbaijan, Cambodia, China, Djibouti, Egypt, Indonesia, Iraq, Thailand, Turkey and Vietnam, leading to 164 deaths.

General Information Regarding Avian Influenza (bird Flu)

December 4th, 2009

Press

The World Health Organization (WHO) makes reports and updates regarding new human cases of infection with bird flu. The only subtype that can cause severe illness to people is Influenza A /H5N1 virus, initially it affects chickens, ducks and other birds by the process of mutation they can become highly pathogenic. Because highly pathogenic viruses can survive for long periods in tissue, water and in the environment, especially when temperatures are low is transmitted very easily in chickens and other birds through direct contact with feces and secretions from infected birds, eggs, feed, water, cages equipment, vehicles and clothing. Public health authorities monitor human illnesses associated with avian influenza. In Hong-Kong occured for the first time infection both in humans and poultry and were killed about 1.5 million chickens.

In China and Hong-Kong avian influenza A (H9N2) virus infection affected two children who recovered. The source was unknown, but suspected the poultry.

In Virginia, 2002 an outbreak of H7N2 among poultry was descovered but,with no human victims. Canada, 2004: human infections among poultry workers with H7N3.

Thailand and Vietnam human infections with H5N1. Azerbaijan, Cambodia, China, Djibouti, Egypt, Indonesia, Iraq, Thailand, Turkey, 2006: Human infections with H5N1 occurred as a result of contact with infected poultry and with infected death swangs. Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam, 2005 two persons have been infected with H5N1 as result of consuming uncooked duck blood. China two cases of patogenic infections with avian influenza A (H5N1) have been confirmed in a family travelling through China. Netherlands, 2003 were reported outbreaks of influenza A (H7N7) in several farms, after which in pigs and people, 90 people were confrmed with bird flu virus H7N7 in association with cases of eye conjunctivitis, one death occured at a veterinarian with acute respiratory distress syndrome and other complications after having direct contact with infected poultry. In New York, 2003 there has been registered one case a patient with respiratory symptoms which recovered in few weeks and tests confirmed it had been avian influenza A (H7N2) virus. Signs and symptoms of bird flu in humans are similar to other influenza viruses: sore throat and cough, fever, muscle weakness and/or pain, eye infections, with life-threatening complications such as: severe viral pneumonia, respiratory distress syndrome, multi- organ failure.

U.S. Food and Drug Administration suggests the following antiviral agents supposed to prevent and treat avian influenza: amantadine, rimantadine, oseltamivir, and zanamivir. They may be not always effective it has been demonstrated that viruses are resistent to amantadine and rimantadine. In the United States they are not in use any more for the treatment or prevention (prophylaxis) of influenza A. Specialists are monitoring the resistence of avian influenza A viruses to influenza antiviral medications.

Some Useful Information About Bird Flu

December 3rd, 2009

Press

At first, bird flu appeared in Asia, where million of poultry was slaughtered in the attempt of stopping the virus from transmitting to other animals and humans.

Scientists believe that if H5N1 virus merges with a human flu virus, the new improved virus could transmit from human to human, leading to a global pandemic.

Wild birds are a natural reservoir of type A of flu virus, but they are not affected by it. They can infect domestic birds such as chicken and turkey that will get ill and then die.

There are many forms of avian flu viruses, some cause mild symptoms to the birds, but other forms are highly pathogenic and can lead to the extinction of the bird. This virulent form is responsible for what happened in Asia.

Until 1997, nobody knew that the virus can affect humans, but it has happened to those who have been in close contact with infected birds. Now, scientists are concerned about a possible mutation of the virus, making it more lethal and transmittable from human to human. This could lead to a global pandemic very much alike with the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918-1919, when 40-50 million people died.

The pandemic can appear as a result of a combination between bird flu virus’s genes and genes of a regular human flu, resulting a new virus that can rapidly infect a large number of people.

By now no cases were registered where an infected person transmitted the virus to another person, but the risk for this to happen soon is quite high.

Birds get infected by eating or inhaling the virus, and they shed the virus in their saliva, faeces and mucus. People that get in close contact with infected birds or with their faeces can also get infected. Eating cooked chicken or turkey is not a way of getting the disease.

Some of the symptoms of H5N1 flu are: fever, muscle pain, lethargy, sore throat conjunctivitis, breathing problems.

So far, doctors used anti-viral drugs to treat the infected people, and most of them proved to be of help.

In Asia, the bird flu made a lot of victims: in 1997, Hong Kong, 18 persons got infected and 6 died; in 2003, 2 persons were infected, one died; in the Far East 10 deaths were recorded.

As soon as the scientists develop an effective H5N1 vaccine the panic that people have been living in could come to an end, and life could regain its natural course.

Ways to Cure Bad Breath If Brushing and Flossing Don’t Work

November 29th, 2009

Jacob Jameson

A small known fact about terrible breath (at least among those who do not personally suffer from the problem) is that brushing and flossing really isn’t enough to place an end to it. Most people do not know this, but for people who suffer from chronic terrible breath, it is all too right. I am a chronic terrible breath sufferer myself, and I know from experience that brushing and flossing is not the key to getting rid of terrible breath.

You’re going to want to pay attention, because my own experiences with overcoming my chronic terrible breath have given me a personal insight into the problem that most people do not have.

Most of us who suffer from chronic terrible breath first learned this during childhood, when they were told by other kids that their breath was terrible. As you get older, it becomes an even more embarrassing problem because people stop telling you when you have it, but you always have that lingering dread that your breath is still offensive. Your suspicions are usually confirmed by people’s aversions to you, and if you have romantic interests, terrible breath can be a very serious problem indeed.

If you’ve ever questioned a dentist or sought out “professional” help with your halitosis, you’ve probably already realized that most people just don’t really have any useful advice to give in this area. On top of the lack of help being an issue, the misconceptions that the public have cause a lot of embarrassment for those who suffer from terrible breath. If you have terrible breath, people automatically assume that it is because you do not properly take care of yourself. Even your dentists are likely to reckon this!

Trust me, the reason your friends and family never seem to have to worry about their breath as much as you do has nothing to do with them taking better care of their mouth. The right cause of terrible breath is not plaque on your teeth, but a sulfur producing bacteria that finds the climate in your mouth very hospitable.

This sulfur, made by the bacteria, is the cause of your terrible breath. It “chooses” you because your mouth happens to be more hospitable to this bacteria than many other people’s mouths.

But if brushing and flossing does not work, then what will? That’s a valid question, because brushing and flossing is pretty much all that we’re really taught how to do when it comes to taking care of our mouths. The key to fresh breath is to bring the climate in your mouth closer to those who do not have to worry about their breath. Your goal is to make a pH balanced environment where these sulfur producing bacteria cannot thrive.

All of us chronic terrible breath sufferers wish we could just throw on our clothes, lazily brush our teeth like everyone else, and then merrily go on our way, flossing when necessary. Unfortunately, that’s not the way life worked out for us. Instead of trying the same things that work for others, it is time to start trying things that work for you.
