He has worked in institutions like Hinduja Hospital , Bombay Hospital , Saifee Hospital , Tata Memorial etc.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Presently, he is heading the Nuclear Medicine Department and Thyroid clinic at Riddhivinayak Cardiac and Critical Centre, Malad (W).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The following message given by him, makes a lot of sense and is important for all of you to know</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">1. Frequent hand-washing (well highlighted in all official communications).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">2. "Hands-off-the-face" approach. Resist all temptations to touch any part of face (unless you want to eat, bathe or slap).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">3. *Gargle twice a day with warm salt water (use Listerine if you don't trust salt).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">*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.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Don't underestimate this simple, inexpensive and powerful preventative method.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">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),</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">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.*</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">5. *Boost your natural immunity with foods that are rich in Vitamin C (Amla and other citrus fruits).</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">*If you have to supplement with Vitamin C tablets, make sure that it also has Zinc to boost absorption.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">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.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:medium;">If you would like to get this infomation out to more people here is a simple way to do it.
