What Can I Do To Prevent A Cold Or Flu?

It is a challenge to stay healthy this time of year! It seems wherever
we go we encounter someone who is sick. We hear deep coughing in the
movie theatre behind us. The store clerk is sneezing before handing you
your change. Someone with the flu was just using your shopping cart
before you. Your kids get whatever is going around the school and bring
it home to YOU! What can we do to protect ourselves?

Here at HealthWalk,
we provide you with both general health concepts and the specific
remedies and supplements for your personal needs to boost your immune
system. We also have the solutions and support should you have a cold
or the flu. What does your body need in support? Is it spleen support
or lung support that will help you with this cold?

Our nutritionist at HealthWalk
has written in this month’s newsletter about the general protection and
illness prevention for immune support and health maintenance. I will be
discussing possible solutions for cold/flu prevention and how to abort
or minimize any acquired symptoms using homeopathic remedies and
supplements. These are useful self-help concepts but it may be best to
come in quickly at the onset of symptoms for an appointment for Galvanic Skin Response Biofeedback, GSR testing to determine exactly what you need for support to recover quickly.

Prevention of the flu may be greatly enhanced by taking a homeopathic remedy called Oscillococcinum. You can get this at HealthWalk
or any Health Food Store that carries homeopathic remedies. It can be
taken once/week during cold and flu season to prevent the flu. If you
have been exposed to someone who has the flu, you can take one vial
every six hours to include a total of three doses to prevent getting it
yourself. If the flu is already in progress, take two doses/day until
symptoms decrease.

Aconite is another homeopathic remedy you can take in a 30C or a 200C
potency if you have been exposed to someone with a cold or flu. Aconite
is helpful to boost the immune system so take it when you first
encounter someone sick and/or at the onset of your symptoms to help you
recover more quickly.

Always keep in mind the great anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and
anti-bacterial effects of Vitamin C! This can be taken in large amounts
at onset to boost the immune. Five thousand milligrams/day is a great
start. Vitamin C is eliminated out of the body and does not accumulate
in any way to be harmful. Ascorbic acid Vitamin C is recommended since
it is easily absorbed.

A liquid vitamins, antioxidants, phytonutrients and minerals supplement
is another powerful means to enhance your body’s natural defenses. At HealthWalk
we carry Passion 4 Life which has all the above plus greens, enzymes
and a proprietary immunity blend. A liquid complex is readily available
for the body to absorb and utilize quickly and efficiently.

Other supplements of immune support include Allicidin (garlic) and Oil
of Oregano before or during an illness. Herbal remedies include
Echinacea, Golden Seal, Burdock Root, and Olive Leaf extracts to help
you fight off viruses and prevent bacterial progression.

HealthWalk‘s Rupronol
is made from the extract of over 90 constituents from specially grown
olive trees and at 18% oleuropein it is among the most potent olive
leaf extracts available. Olive leaf is a natural anti-viral and
anti-bacterial and also has phenolic acids, flavonoids and antiseptic
astringent features which help to thwart viral replication.

Come in to HealthWalk
to determine what support or combinations of support may be most
beneficial for you. We have many supplement/herbal/homeopathic
companies of pharmaceutical grade quality in our apothecary to get you
started right away. Through GSR Biofeedback testing we can determine the combination of homeopathic and Bach flower emotional and other nutritional support needed by your body.

Emotional support is essential to accelerating and enhancing all physical illness recovery. HealthWalk‘s MindSoul Emotional Imprint Resolution CD‘s,
