hello, as a naturopath - friends are always asking me why i never seem to get colds & flu? it's true - i only tend to get a cold once every 5 years or so - that is when i have failed to take my own advice! i once worked with over 100 people: clients & co-workers - i was the only person not to have a flu jab & the only person in the workplace who didn't get a chest infection all winter!
i) first of all don't soldier on! (& spread your germs around!) drop your bundle & stay warm & in bed! if your life doesn't allow you to do that - maybe we might need to do a bit of work there?!
ii) at the first sign: take a kickacold: to the juice of a fresh lemon & orange, add 1 tps of curry powder & 1 tps of ground or grated ginger - i know it is strong stuff - but a great antibiotic metabolic booster
iii) i keep a stock standard zinc complex (& because I'm a girl: a b complex with iron) in my kitchen. i take 2 of each with something to eat - without zinc our cytotoxic killer T cells cannot be activated & without iron, life carrying germ dispersing oxygen transport will be sluggish & therefore so will cell function
iv) asap have a really hot bath for an hour - (don't get faint & drink fluids) this mimics a fever & may wipe out the bug entirely - if done quickly enough
v) if you get a sore throat - get rid of it asap! gargle every 15 minutes with hot salted water (add 1 tps of salt to a glass of hot water & stir until dissolved) if my sore throat isn't better in an hour, i gargle with aspirin - stop the sore throat - & stop the cold in its tracks
vi) avoid dairy products, sweet & processed foods & junk food - to cut out/down mucus production
vii) eat healthy light food & drink plenty of water or eg hot lemondrinks: lemon juice, hot water, honey to flush toxins & the bug from your system
