This is pretty impressive sounding info, thanks for posting it. He is
planning to list more remedies on the blog he writes, at healthsense.
***here is more from another site:

Analysis: Dr. Marcus Gitterle is a real person, Medical Director of the
emergency room of Christus Santa Rosa hospital in New Braunfels, Texas.
According to local news reports and postings on his own "Health-Sense"
blog, Gitterle did author the original version of the message above and
emailed it to family members and close friends, though it quickly went
"viral" and circulated well beyond the small audience it was intended
for. Along the way, Gitterle says, spurious "additions and
modifications" were made by person(s) unknown.
Judging from changes I was able to observe in consecutive online
postings and copies of the text forwarded to me by readers, the
following variant paragraph may represent one such apocryphal addition:
" If any of my patients become ill, or suspect infection, call the
office, do not come without calling and DO NOT go to the ER. If one
member in a family is identified all would be given the Tamiflu or
Relenza (that is normal course of action) if there is enough
distributed to fill prescriptions. Public health stated that one family
member identified or suspected to have contracted the flu it will
require the whole family to be ‘quarantined’ in their own home until
enough time has passed for the remaining household to have contracted
it or be considered infection free ( 7 to 10 days per person). As
another suggestion, if any member of the family is on routine
medication- fill those prescriptions now. Have plenty fluids, Motrin,
soups, etc available and make contingency plans in case your family is
affected. "
Unauthorized modifications aside, Gitterle definitely feels the message
he wrote was blown out of proportion and misunderstood by bloggers and
the media. "Had I been writing for a wider audience, I would have
provided a lot more perspective, to prevent misunderstandings, such as
the incorrect notion that I felt anyone (officially or in the media)
was intentionally obfuscating things," he wrote in a subsequent blog
posting. "I didn't and I don't."
***here is what he says about it:

everyone-for-the-outpouring-of-support.html

Oscillococinum, a homeopathic remedy, has been vindicated as quite
effective in
a large clinical trial in Europe , with an H1N1 variant. You can buy
this at
Hill Country Natural Foods, or the Wimberley Pharmacy.
I will try to keep everyone posted if I have any new information.
Meanwhile,
don't be afraid just avoid infection. The fewer people infected the
easier it
will be for our public officials to manage it.
