We have sour cabbage and milk, and we give money for immunomodulation

The Bulgarian has sour cabbage, pickles, yogurt and cheese and gives a crazy amount of money for immunostimulators and pills.

"I can not understand, the Bulgarian gives crazy money for immunomodulation, but he has gherkin, sour cabbage, yogurt and cheese."

The astonishment of the practice is on Director of the National Center for Contagious and Parasitic Diseases, Professor Todor Kantardjiev. In Nova TV, studio Kantardjiev confirmed that traditional products protect against flu and offer good immunity. Gherkins and yogurt can also be used to strengthen our immune system during the winter season.

The first case of influenza A N1H1 has already been confirmed in Bulgaria by the national reference laboratory. It's about the so-called. swine flu, proven two days ago. Influenza strains four times more frequent have been detected in the European Union during the last week.

Kantardzhiev explained that such a flu is sick more common young, and more recently, we see aspergillosis – a serious complication of pneumonia, which also endangers human life. Until recently, aspergillosis was only expected in immunodeficient persons, but this is no longer the case. The treatment costs 1,000 leva a day, and often Bulgarian doctors need to improvise, "health money goes elsewhere"Kantardzhiev did not develop the subject.

According to him, in most of the country, people complain of a cough that lasts for months. However, these are other viruses (rhinovirus) characteristic of autumn. Winter viruses have not arrived yet. Coughing people should be more careful because they are more susceptible to the flu.

The symptoms of the flu are fever, joint pain, headaches and eye irritation of light, explained Professor Todor Kantardjiev. The flu is growing rapidly – in a matter of hours.

We can not predict what the number will be of those who are sick for the season. It's usually a few hundred thousand to a million. Effective practice to limit the spread of the disease would be an extension of student holidays Kantardjiev recommended to increase the incidence of influenza on the ground.
