The common cold

Dudes, this totally unnecessary disease is somewhat preventable, and can beA quickly relieved.A As we know, there’s really no magic medicine for the common cold, once you get, tough! All you can do is let itA take it’s course. However,A by simply improving yourA body’sA immune system through aerobics, whole-foods and skilled relaxation, you can certainly avoid the cold.A

But, once you get the damn cold, what can you do? Humidification of the air, lots of vitamin C, and Zinc lozenges are factors that definetly help to alaeviate the cold.

First, the main reason there are more colds and flu in the winter is because of the low humidity caused by the heating of the inside air; not because of the exposure to the cold of the outside. The first line of defense to airborne invaders is the mucus, lining the upper respiratory tract, which traps them as they are breathed in. The normal upper respiratory tract makes a quart and a half of mucus every 24 hours. That is why we swallow every few minutes. The invaders, viruses, bacteria, allergens, etc. are swept into the stomach, before they have a chance to get through the lining into our blood, and are pretty easily destroyed by the powerful acid in the stomach.

Using an indoor humidifier, attached to your heating system, will not only solve this problem but also greatly reduces the cost of heating. 67 degrees at 40% humidity feels as warm as 75 degrees at 10% humidity.

The second factor is Vitamin C. Since the availability of ESTERIFIED Vitamin C, we can get enough of the C into the White Blood Cell (WBC) to, in effect, “Supercharge” it for fighting viruses and bacteria. Esterified Vitamin C gets 4 times as much of the C into the WBC, per dose taken orally, as regular C. By taking 2-4 grams of Esterified Vitamin C daily, during the “Cold Season”, most viral infections will be prevented. If you should feel a virus coming on, just start taking 4 grams 3 times a day. Loose stools mean that you need less. Ordinarily that will stop the virus within 24 hours. I would keep up the dosage for 24 hours after the last symptom to be sure it was gone.

The third factor is Zinc lozenges. Trust me, theA average length of a cold can be cut in half by using Zinc lozenges.

If you get a cold, at least try the vitamin C and the Zinc lozenges. These along with a day’s rest and some warm-hearty home-made chicken soup will do wonders for your cold.
