Flu Immune 500

Curing the common cold is actually quite easy. Just do nothing ! In about a week, the cold will be history. In fact, it’s been said before that a cold without treatment lasts 7 days, while it lasts only a week with treatment…

But suppose you don’t want to wait it off. What do you do then ? I recommend something that might seem weird, but works wonders. It works wonders because it goes in line with your body’s own physiology.

You manifest cold symptoms whenever your body needs to shed it’s upper respiratory tract epithelium. In other words, whenever your body needs new cells to replace old ones in order to have a better respiratory system, you shed the old ones – hence the cold symptoms. Think about it: when do you experience cold symptoms ? At the seasonal changes. When the temperature demands on the respiratory tract are radically different then before, requiring a new and different cell lining.

So, what can you do to help the process ? It’s a two stages process.

1) First, don’t go against it.

Most people with a cold try to knock it out with cold medicine. While those medicines will often suppress the symptoms, they also take away the wisdom in a cold that makes it happen in the first place. Result: you depress your immune system over time and you get colds more often ! And that’s NOT what you wanted in the first place.

I recommend all my patients to stay away from any drugs that suppress cold symptoms, and let their body finish the job it started. In the long run, you get a stronger immune system, are less often prone to get colds and when you do get them, the symptoms are much weaker and they last shorter. You win.

2) Try to increase your metabolism.

When you’re sick, your body creates a fever in order to heal faster and deeper. You can produce the same outcome naturally using a simple bath ! When you first feel the cold symtoms coming on – usually a weird feeling in your throat – you should start with this advice. Just before you go to bed that night, you prepare a hot bath. How hot ? As hot as you can take it ! That’s going to raise your internal temperature, and your metabolism. When you’ve had enough of that bath, just go to sleep.

You’ll fall asleep much faster, and while you’re sleeping, your body is going to be working overtime so that the cold process goes smoother and faster.

If you are aware enough of your body to feel the cold symptoms very soon, doing these two simple things will often have your body do what it needs to do – have a cold to shed the outer lining of the respiratory tract – in record times. Most of the times, your cold will last only a day or two ! Wow, talk about effective. And that’s without drugs, and without imparaing your immune system.

One word of advice though. Anyone with circulatory problems have to be cautious with the bath. To those patients, I recommend getting those problems in order in the first place, as circulatory problems are mostly lifestyle related and can easily be remedied. But that’s going to be another topic…
