There was an article on the front page of the local newspaper here in Okinawa about a scientist here in Okinawa that has just patented a formula that kills off the bird-flu virus and has potential as well for use on the Swine flu virus as well.
The guy created the forumla using a natural source, the sendan tree which grows in abundance here in Okinawa.
I think it is also related to the Indian Sandalwood tree. Something in the flowers, bark, wood, and leaves of the tree kills off the virus itself and is being checked NOW to see if it can work as well on the swine flu too.
I wish this guy luck and all speed in his research.
