Next time I'll give the kid 80 kg of star anise to eat, that should be enough to provide the kid with 85 mg of the active ingredient every 24 hours.kinard wrote:Trivia...The active ingredient in Tamiflu is derived from star anise.Kachang wrote:... treated with tamiflu.
I didn't believe in Tamiflu so much myself after reading all the criticism, but to be honest, it took the others 6 days to recover (well, recover.... fever free that is) and the one treated only 3 days.
If you live in the boonies like me and there's bird flu present there's not much you can do with a young kid other than treat the influenza given the (im)possibilities to diagnose the strain of influenza precisely within the time frame available.....
Anyway, doc told me there's over 10 kids diagnosed with Influenza A in her clinic everyday now, and that's just one clinic.
