Has anyone tried or experienced rimantadine (Flumantadine) ? Amantadine sound as bad as a root canal and and IRS audit.

By the way, in the warnings label for Amandatine, they list

"suicide attempts, suicide, suicidal ideation."

Notice how they sneak actual "suicide" in the middle there where it won't be as noticeable.

Sucidial Ideation - almost any one in the stock market thorugh the tech bust has experienced that.

It's the actual suicide that bothers me.

********

I also don't think the statement about the Amantadine class being ineffective against H5N1 is speculative, meaning they writers don't know, and they should have said so.

I would guess they would prefer if individuals did not stock up on amantadines on their own and self administer.

I can understand the concern of the Aussie health authorities.

But I strongly prefer the un-filtered, un-spun truth.

The other thing I notice about the Aussie article vs. similar US articles is their citing of WHO as an authority.

I realize the Aussies don't have the resources of the CDC or the US Army, but I don't see any reference to or sense of the Biological Warfare people in the Austrailian Army. I don't no why .....

Many US articles will have at least some prespective from the biological warfare people.

I would also like to see any links to a Russian / Soviet view of the brid flu threat, propagation vs. mutation, etc.

I think the Russians have some real world experimental data that could be useful.
