COLD/FLU/EAR INFECTION/INFLAMMATION

PREVENTION AND TREATMENT PROTOCOLS

The number of cold and flu incidents appears to be on the rise. We are seeing more and more people statisticallyexperiencing these problems all year round.

Viral infections do not respond to antibiotics, only bacterial infections do; therefore the approach is to strengthen theimmune system so that our own body's defense mechanism can handle the viruses. Most cold and flu infections are viral innature (about 80%). Vitamin C, for instance will stimulate the production of Interferon which is a natural antiviral agentproduced by our own body.

For the 1st stages of a cold, flu, sore throat, swollen glands, ear and eye inflammation, the following program can be usedUNLESS there is some medical or other reason which contra-indicates the use of these substances.
