Every winter, millions of people are affected by the cold and flu because, as any doctor will tell you, there is no cure for the common cold or the flu. The only thing you can do is manage the cold and flu symptoms so you can continue with your day to day life as effectively as possible. This can be difficult depending on how much you’re affected by a cold or the flu but commercials promise complete relief. This is usually a bit of a stretch but there are things that can be done to help you feel somewhat better. Many of the best ways are all natural.
All too often the commercials and ads you see that promise relief is chemical based drugs that can have all sorts of negative side effects. While they promise relief from the symptoms of the cold or flu, the side effects can be just as debilitating as the symptoms you’re already suffering. These side effects can include a sore throat, sinus congestion, chest congestion, nose bleeds, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, drowsiness and a whole host of effects that are worse than what you’re going through. All natural ways to alleviate the symptoms of cold and flu have virtually no side effects at all.
By using homeopathic medicines like green tea, zinc, Echinacea, vitamin D and vitamin C enables you to have the tools you need to alleviate or maybe eliminate many cold and flu symptoms. Since these are all natural ingredients, the body processes them naturally as well which means the side effects are minimal to non-existent. An added benefit of using all natural remedies like these is the fact that there are no gluten binders in them. This means that those who suffer any type of gluten allergy like Celiac disease have to suffer through the discomfort of a gluten reaction because they took a cold remedy containing some form of gluten that wasn’t listed on the package by the manufacturer.

You need to know that every year the FDA tries to determine what strain of the flu will be prevalent during the ensuing season. By the time they have determined the type of vaccine that will be manufactured, the virus has begun to mutate, leaving the individuals with weakened immunity systems vulnerable to getting the flu or a serious cold. Viruses that cause influenza spread so quickly that 30 to 60 million Americans catch it each year and some 36,000 die. It mutates so fast that no one ever becomes fully immune. The immune system has no defense to a specific virus or viruses, which have mutated and become more virulent. That is why many individuals who have received flu shots still contract the flu. The fact is- flu shots may actually be worthless if the individual has a seriously impaired immune system. A study conducted by the National Institute of Infectious Diseases found no correlation between increasing vaccination rates after 1980 and declining death rates in any age group. (As published in the Archives of Internal Medicine volume 165, 2005)
There are two reasons why an individual can fall prey to the flu:
1. Their immune systems are weak or in a weakened state.
2. Their immune system cannot defend against a specific virus or viruses that have
mutated and become more virulent, and cannot afford protection because they
have been immunized for a different strain of virus.
Individuals with weakened or compromised immune systems are not only prone to contracting a cold or influenza, but are seriously at risk for developing bronchitis, pneumonia, and sinus problems as well. Therefore, it is incumbent upon everyone to keep their immune systems at an optimal peak level to guard against invading bacteria and viruses. Basically, it is like wearing body armor when in a battle zone, because we are surrounded constantly by invading bacteria and viruses looking to invade our bodies. How we put this body armor to work is discussed in the health hints below. Read the rest of this entry »
