I've actually had H1N1 which is a strain of Influenza Type A. I took antivirals, rested, used symptom control medication like Theraflu, followed my doctor's advice and was over it within a week or two time-wise.
As for the medical website... facts that are 10 years old should be examined against other newer information at least for updates to given facts to show if any new information was drawn from new studies and such. However, arguing over it and not finding new information to validate or invalidate the information presented isn't going to solve the problem. After reading the paper, more or less the paper itself is on theoretical issues as disease origins and transmission methods rather than concrete issues like confirmed studies and active research. I would say look for better articles.
