I have been reading some newspapers and even watching some news on the television. Originally, we understand that the Swine Flu disease comes from pig. However, the news today has reported that humans are affecting pigs with such disease in Canada.
It has also been reported in the news, stating that there is a cure for the Swine Flu.
Caption: star anise (consumable)
Star anise is a dried fruit of a small medium-sized evergreen tree, called Illicium verum. Originally, it belongs to the magnolia family, Illiciaceae Magnoliaceae and grows up to 8m in height (equal to 26.00 ft), and introduced in the europian countries in the seventeenth century. In chinese countries, it is an ingredient in the blend Chinese Five Spices (known as 'Ba-chio' or 'Pak-kok' in chinese).
It smells and tastes really good. Star anise has been used in a tea as a remedy for rheumatism (a disease affecting every possible joints and connective tissues on human body), and the seeds are sometimes chewed after meals to aid digestion. As a warm and moving herb, the star anise will sometimes be used for relieving cold-stagnation. This is why we would find this herb mostly in chinese or indian cuisine.
The Swine flu is a horrific disease since 1918, when it has killed at least 1 million people in Mexico. However, the pig (animal) has been the main source of this disease, and not the pork (a dead pig, turned into food) since the swine virus will die in the temperature above 70 degree celcius (cooking will usually kill all these bacteria). The news have been reporting that the current best cure for the Swine Flu disease is to cook pork with the star anise. It has the ability to kill the Swine flu when affecting our body. Another possible advice to avoid swine flu from affecting you, that is, to stop breathing (or cover your nose and mouth with a cloth) and run as far as possible if someone sneeze or cough around you, lol.

Caption: japanese star anise (please do not consume)
NOTE: the japanese star anise is very similar (but not the same) to the normal star anise, except it was pronounced as ahighly-toxidic fruit that may produce numerous seizure effect to a person's body when consumed, and perhaps causing severe inflammation to kidney, urinary tract and our digestive system since this fruit contains anisatin (is a toxic and an active component of the Shikimi plant).
