Various boxes of Tamiflu, flu drug STORYLINE Hong Kong's Health Department has advised the public to drink more Chinese herbal tea and soup to protect themselves against getting the flu, in the midst of worldwide concerns of a possible bird flu pandemic. The advice came as Hong Kong stepped up preparations to guard against bird flu. Health experts have warned that a virulent bird flu virus strain, H5N1, could mutate into a form that can be easily transmitted between humans, possibly causing a global pandemic that could kill millions. Some of the ingredients for making the five recommended herbal infusions include ginger, mulberry leaves, mint and dried chrysanthemum. According to the pamphlets, the herbal drinks could help build up immunity and adjust the balance of "yin" (cold) and "yang" (hot) forces in the human body. Chinese herbal medicine works on the principle that people get sick when the forces get out of balance. "According to the previous studies, some Chinese medicine is effective to fight against diseases and virus as well as cancers. It can also adjust the immune system and increase body strength. This is useful to prevent from getting flu." said Professor Liu Liang, dean of Chinese Medicine School of Hong Kong Baptist University. Sherman Pun, a registered herbalist in Hong Kong has seen a recent increase in number of customers coming to buy Chinese herbal tea to protect themselves against flu. Other than stockpiling Tamiflu - one of the only drugs effective against the bird flu virus - some Hong Kong people will consider treating influenza with Chinese herbal medicines. Meanwhile Hong Kong Hospital Authority will launch an influenza vaccination programme in public clinics on Monday, aimed mainly at the elderly. Hong Kong has stockpiled 3.5 million capsules of anti-viral drugs for 350,000 people and hopes to eventually acquire enough for 2 million people to help defend against a potential flu pandemic. The drugs that have been collected so far would be used for treating infected patients, health workers and people culling diseased birds in this city of 6.9 million, according to a Department of Health consultant. While the public rushed to snap up the drug amid bird flu fears, the Swiss maker of Tamiflu has stopped delivery of the drug to private doctors and pharmacies in Hong Kong, saying it will only fulfil orders for government stockpiles. Hong Kong recorded the first known instances of human infection by H5N1 in 1997, when the virus infected 18 people and killed six of them in the territory. But the territory has so far been spared in the wave of infections that began in Asia in late 2003.
