What the Heck is a Summer Cold Part2

Western medicine offers very little that is effective
against the Cold viruses.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a summer cold, winter,
spring or fall, they just don’t know at all.

Most of the drugs only deal with symptoms of a
cold and they can actually suppress the
immune system.

If your immune system is strong, you won’t get sick .
It all has to do with your biological terrain.

When we get a fever most of us take a Tylenol or an
aspirin to lower the fever.
At the first sign of a runny nose we grab an antihistamine
and we take cough suppressants to stop a cough.
All of these symptoms are just the body’s way of
trying to heal itself, to be whole again.

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”.

* A fever is the body’s way to burn out the virus and increase
the metabolic rate that increases the movement of the white
blood cells.

* A runny nose coats the virus with mucus and then it can
be easily taken out of the body.

* A cough is a natural reflex of getting mucus out of the
lungs.

Generally Colds are a self-limited illness from which virtually
all people recover in a few days, but keep a watchful eye.
Seven to fourteen days are the maxium a cold usually last,
if you have a any dough it’s always a good idea to see a health
professional if you’re not getting better.

Enhancing your immune system is the key to health,
rather than suppressing symptoms.

?A healthy immune system is the best prevention against colds-
and nutrition is the key to a healthy immune system

• Drink, Drink and drink- plenty of water, herbal tea, and
vegetable juice

• Exercise, get fresh air, go for a walk and breath deep

• Eating lightly allows your body’s energy go toward eliminating
the virus instead of digesting your food.
Lay off sugar- Sugar depresses the immune system.

I wish you the best in your Health, Wealth and Happiness
