Smiling is infectious;you catch it like the flu,
When some one smiled at me today,I started smiling too.
I passed around the corner and some one saw my grin
When he smiled I relized I'd passed it on to him.
I thought about that smile then I realized its worth,
A single smile,just like mine could travel round the earth.
So, if you feel a smile begin, dont leave it undetected
Let's start an apidemic quick ,and get the world infected!
keep the smile going by sending this on to a friend.
every one needs a smile

The Food and Drug Administration FDA approved the use of Relenza (zanamivir for inhalation) for prevention (prophylaxis) of influenza (flu) in adults and children 5 years of age and older. Tamiflu (oseltamivir phosphate) previously was approved for both prevention and treatment of flu; today's approval of Relenza for prevention provides Americans with another option for the prevention of influenza A and B infections.

Breathing problems (bronchospasm), including deaths, were reported in some patients after the initial approval of Relenza. Most of these patients had asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Relenza therefore is not recommended for treatment or prophylaxis of seasonal influenza in individuals with underlying airways disease such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Relenza has not been proven effective for treatment of influenza in people with underlying airways disease, or for prevention of influenza in nursing homes. The drug is also not a substitute for the flu vaccine, which is the primary means for preventing influenza. Consumers should continue receiving an annual flu vaccination according to guidelines on immunization practices. In preparation for a potential pandemic, FDA has assembled an agency-wide Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Task Force to provide policy leadership and strategic planning on pandemic influenza.

FDA also is working with the pharmaceutical industry to make available appropriate products and ensure that mechanisms are in place to collect the necessary efficacy and safety information. Both Relenza and Tamiflu have been identified for stockpiling.

Depression is one of the most common psychological problems, affecting nearly everyone through either personal experience or through depression in a family member. Each year over 17 million American adults experience a period of clinical depression. The cost in human suffering cannot be estimated. Depression can interfere with normal functioning, and frequently causes problems with work, social and family adjustment. It causes pain and suffering not only to those who have a disorder, but also to those who care about them. Serious depression can destroy family life as well as the life of the depressed person.
Depression can affect anyone. Once identified, most people diagnosed with depression are successfully treated. Unfortunately, depression is not always diagnosed, because many of the symptoms mimic physical illness, such as sleep and appetite disturbances. Recognizing depression is the first step in treating it.
There are a number of symptoms of depression and it's very rare for all of them to occur in one person. They include feeling generally miserable, as well as:
Feelings of anxiety.
Short temper.
Blaming self and low self-esteem.
Variation of mood during the day. It's often worse in the morning, improving as the day goes on - but the pattern can be the other way around.
Disturbed sleep, usually waking early and being unable to get back to sleep. This is often because of the negative thoughts racing through their heads.etc

Cherrie is now using Debbie's kidney,*
Having lost the service of her own.
Each moment of existence is a gift
Replacing just the one one just has left,
Renewing momently the moment gone.
In such a melody each note exactly
Embodies the full grace of what was done.
