LosAngeles Daily News get the obsession with carbs, protein and fat. Focus instead on micronutrients, which include vitamins, minerals and other powerful plant chemicals. SuperFoods Rx (HarperCollins; $24.95), written by Pratt with Kathy Matthews, shows how to get the greatest nutritional punch at every meal.

Possible vaccine that millions use each year. As people across the nation scrounge for the scarce remaining doses, critics have begun questioning the existing production system. New methods, including genetic engineering, are under study, but are years away from practical use and government approval, Treanor said. Officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are looking into new production systems as well as ways of avoiding shortages. Even as health-care providers continue to wade through this flu season, planners are turning their attention to the next flu season, said Linda Tyler, pharmacy manager of drug information services for the University of Utah Hospitals and Clinics system. Like many other healthcare organizations, the U.’s networkis out of the vaccine. Predicting vaccine usage for next year will be made more difficult in light of this year’s early onset of the season ahd heightened media attention. These factors have encouraged more people to seek flu shots, as well as needle-free Flumist, which is a vaccine delivered into the nasal cardiovascular cancer. Spinach: include Oats: Contain fiber, protein, ity is to guarantee that the government will buy excess supplies, likely at a reduced rate. Or, the government could buy the overstock and create an emergency stockpile for the season. Gerberding also worried about a lack of flu vaccine manufacturers. While the existing two companies, down one from last year, can handle production under mostconditions, problems at either company cause serious shortages. About 10 months before flu season, drug companies such as Aventis Pasteur start the pro- duction process with millions of 11-day-old, fertilized hens’ eggs. Each type of virus is put into disease Contains and lutein, problem of strains that have eggs, which are incubated to allow the viruses to multiply. trouble growing in eggs. Anotherpossibility is genetic engineering — specific genes could be injected into a non-flu virus that would produce the desired hemagglutinins. The altered genes are injected into in- “Sometimes, the flu virus doesn’t grow as well as we would like in the eggs,” Treanorsaid. This and other problems can delay production and distribu- sect cells, which are ideal growth are used to produce proteins known as hemagglutinins, environments for the proteins, Treanorsaid. A genetic engineering option would be a faster and cheaper method than the chicken-egg system, he said. “It would give you more time to wait to see whichstrains are needed,” he said when planning for the next flu season’s vaccine doses. There is even an idea to revamp the chicken-egg vaccine production efforts. He said genetic manipulation could soup up theflu viruses, allowing them to replicate more quickly in the which allowstheflu virus to at- tach itself to red blood cells. The idea of the vaccine is to introduce hemagglutinin proteins into the human body, prompting the body to create defensive antibodies. These anti- bodies then guard against any proteins that accompany live flu virus, should it enter your body. Before the the different flu vi- ruses are combined into one product, each strain is chemically inactivated. This is intended to ensure the vaccine does not give the flu to any patients. eggs. “Moving those good ideas from the laboratory all the way through the manufacturing and approval process is going to take an investmentnot only ofscience but an investment of dollars,” If the United States decided to change its production methods, there are several non-egg options in the works. Cells found in the kidneys of Gerberding said. dogs can be placed in a giant fermenting vat. When the vat is heated up, flu viruses are added. In these warm conditions, the viruses rapidly replicate, creat- While such changes might make the vaccine production cycle more responsive, they are likely years away. For now, vaccine seekers will have to rely on old-fashioned chickeneggs. glavine@slirib.com ing the ingredients for vaccine production, Treanorsaid.

At the same time health-care providers try to predict how many doses they will need, CDC and Food and Drug Administration experts are doing their own prognosticating. Treanor said the CDC and FDA team up to determine which seed strains of three viruses should go in the following season’s vaccine. The FDAthendistributes the strains to drug companies. This flu season involved the production of 83 million flu shots and 4 million Flumist doses. Companies create production targets, in part, based onsales in previous years. Any overstock cuts into the drug maker’s profits, so it is to their benefit to come as close as possible to the actual numberof vaccines needed.
