We have many more ways to treat viral illness such
as colds and the flu than conventional medicine.
The best treatments are still those that prevent the
virus from getting a good start.

Stress and Traveling |
|
|
Many people can attest to stress and airplane trips as
major events that can lead to an infection. During the
winter you may need to give in to the desire for a bit
more sleep.
It is important to spend some time doing things that
make you feel less stress and more joy, whether that is
a hike, sewing, reading, tennis or listening to music.
Remember to pick up water in the terminal to drink
on the plane. Consider Emergen C, Airborne, Energy
formula or Echinacea and vitamin C to take on the
plane and in case you get symptoms while traveling.
I always travel with Esberitox or Isatis Gold and
Oscillococcinum.

Treatments |
|
|
There are three treatments scientifically proven to
reduce chances you will get a cold or flu.
1.Daily vitamin C of at least 100 mg daily even for
children.
2.Acidophilus or "proflora" which are normal gut
inhabitants.
3. Fish oil and vitamin D. It seems the old wives tale
of cod liver oil prevention was true. Vitamin D is one
of the more widely researched nutrients this year. It
seems most adults can take 1,000 to 2,000 IU daily
without risk of getting too much.
If you get an infection this is a table to help you
differentiate if it is a cold or a flu virus.

Continued Treatment |

|
Do not ignore a nagging sore throat.
Treating early with herbs and homeopathy can prevent a
full-blown infection.
The flu season is late this year (or maybe will be
mild). I am recommending another course of Influenzinum
flu prevention in January this year. |
