   I have found that Bee Propolis is incredibly effective at stopping both the cold and the flu!

   I use the 500mg caplet. Take two every morning, noon, and night for one week. Your symptoms should cease the very first day! Works for me and my family!

   For me as soon as I start to sneeze and I know I am coming down with a cold I take the Homeopathic Medicine Arsenicum Alb 200 and repaet it every 2 hours usually just three doses suffice in nipping the cold in the bud. Best medicine money can buy.
   Best regards

   Herbs – Echinacea, Andrographis. Vitamins – C, A, E. Minerals – Zinc. You should be able to buy a combination of these in a health food store or pharmacy.

   To dramatically reduce cold and flu symptoms eat fresh garlic mate …. mixed through your vegies and salads …… the raw unprocessed unpreserved version of garlic ……… Also eat other foods and condiments that are powerfull natural antiobiotics to bolster your immunity and health ~ onions, leeks, shallots, radishes, fenugreek, fresh gingerroot, chilli and plenty of raw salads and fruits and their juices……… ifyou find it difficult to eat hot spicy things try eating them with plenty of food and even small amounts of these things can help to expel infected mucous from your body and bolster your immune system ……. try grating raw garlic or expelling its juice in a garlic press or chop it into tiny pieces and mix through cooked foods and salads thus a little easier to tolerate…… or add some fresh garlic juice to your vegetable juice cocktail………. raw garlic and other plants from the onion family are superb powerful naturall antiobiotics and can help to eradicate and control infections from any part of the body…. even in cases where there is resistance to antiobiotic drugs….if you absolutely hate raw garlic and its odor then you can use the garlic capsules which aren’t as effective.

   be carefull introducing new foods such as garlic into your diet though…. symptoms such as gastric distress, bloating, acid reflux, brain frizz, mood swings, constipation, achy bones etc.etc.etc.. ad nauseum…. can indicate that you are intolerant to that particular food…. so start slowly if you’re introducing a new food.

   garlic is good for boosting immunity, is an antispasmotic, lowers cholesterol and blood pressure and also works as an anti inflammatory ………. wonderfull stuff, particularly if you can tolerate it crushed and raw ……. raw garlic works best as a powerfull antibiotic that fights bacteria, parasites and viruses … garlic is also good for heart disease (two or three cloves a day lessen the chance of heart attacks) and stroke and it contains many preventive, anticancer compounds and antioxidants (raw, cooked, or aged at best). Garlic is also good for colds (decongestant and expectorant) and works as an antidiarrheal…… it helps relieve gas, is estrogenic and works as an antidepressant too ….. fabulous stuff hey.

   Just start off slowly as the taste is quite strong ……. work up to 2 or 3 cloves daily as that much all at once if you’re not used to it may disturb your digestion.

   protect your precious supplies of vitamin C too …… if you’re taking lots of aspirin you’re losing vitamin C…….. cut right back on caffeine containing drinks such as coffee and tea and eliminate sodas and soft drinks and pop as they will all dehydrate you terribly and rob you of your precious water soluble supplies of vitamin C……….. drink 8 glasses of water daily and hydrate yourself properly to help your body function at peak levels and eliminate any germs.

   Ditch all processed sugar as bacteria will literally feed and multiply on it.

   Ditch the milk and dairy products also as they are mucous producing and will only inflame a stressed body.

   Other things that will rob you of your precious supplies of vitamin C are stress, alcohol, processed sugar, aspirin and otc counter cold and flu meds and painkillers, antiobiotics, sleeping tablets, laxatives and diuretics and smoking…. Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin and as such our bodies can neither store or produce it and we need to ingest it on a daily basis.

   eat more fresh green and colorfull vegies and fruits too …… all fabulously rich in vitamin C which is a powerfull natural antibiotic and will bolster immunity and dramatically reduce the severity of cold and flu symptoms.

   fresh lemon juice is also a very powerfull natural antibiotic and rich source of vitamin C.

   peace baby
