(ABC News Photo Illustration)Swine Flu: Fact and Fiction If you already have had the swine flu, do you need to get the vaccine? "That depends," Besser said. "It depends on whether you had a specific test for swine flu, and a good test." "If you had that test, bring it into your doctor and go over it," he advised. "You may not need the shot."

Do acupuncture, vitamins and other products that promise to shorten the duration of an illness help prevent the flu? Acupuncture, vitamins and other remedies are "not prevention measures for the flu," Besser said. While they may be good for your overall health and well-being, "don't confuse those with measures that will really prevent the flu." Those preventative measures include the vaccine and frequent hand-washing. "It's so important that people take responsibility for their health," he said. (Oct 13, 2009 | post #1440)

ABC News senior health and medical correspondent Dr. Richard Besser stopped by "GMA" to help separate the myths from the facts. Share Dr. Richard Besser answers viewers' questions about the H1N1 virus. If you haven't seen many cases of the swine flu in your area, do you have to worry about catching it? Besser said the idea that if you haven't seen the virus in your area, you don't need to worry about it, is a myth. "Flu doesn't hit the whole country at the same time," he said.

Besser said you still need to get the vaccine, even if your area has so far been spared, because flu spreads more readily in cool weather. Swine flu and seasonal flu have similar symptoms, will people be able to tell them apart? Besser said it's a fact that swine flu and seasonal flu can look and feel the same. "They may hit groups a little differently," he said, explaining that the swine flu has been hitting children harder, while the seasonal flu hits the elderly harder. But in terms of the signs and symptoms, often "you can't tell them apart." (Oct 13, 2009 | post #1439)

French rocker to play Che memorial concerts in Cuba
"El chancho"(so called by his fellows due to his odor similar to boiled kidneys, due to his poor hygiene and lack of bathing or showering) che guevara was the communist pig that gave the firing squad to many innocent Cubans and took great delight in doing so. He was a racist and particularly enjoyed humiliating the Cuban negroes & mulatoes as well as the native Amerindian Mexicans whom he despised and made no effort to conceal while he was in Mexico. Since he was a commander just like fidel, and was bolder than fidel, he enjoyed great power. fidel did not like the competition so he send him off on mission to Bolivia, where he was killed as fidel expected. This gave the revolution a martyr, while removing the competition, as well as producing an icon for the revolution. It is said by those that found che, that he said: "Don't shoot, don't shoot I'm che & I'm worth more alive than dead, don't shoot" The soldiers that found him laughed & told him to say his last prayers, he cursed God, begged, cried, made offers to his captors, whined, wet his pants, soiled his pants, sobbed, BANG! Justice was done! He who had killed so many, and took so much delight in doing it, died like the coward he was! Good riddance, the stinking "chancho " is dead! **********What few people know is that while he claimed the title Doctor while he lived in Cuba, he never graduated from Medical School. The reason his fellow revolutionaries called him "che" was originally to denigrate him, because they refused to call him doctor or commandante, since those close to him looked down on him. The nickname stuck, and since in the Cuban jargon the word is unknown, it readily identified him. The people of Argentina use this word very liberally just as the Americans use the word "dude" or "man" or "guy". The myth is that he was a guerrilla expert, facts are that he never, not once, carried out a successful guerrilla activity.]******** ****************** ****************** ****************** ****************** ****************** ****************** ****************** **+ (Oct 12, 2009 | post #6)
