Who wants to stay healthy this winter? Naturally, we all want to keep well. Nobody misses the discomfort of fever, chills, muscle aches, headaches, fatigue, cough, sore throat, runny nose or nasal congestion. Besides, with our busy lifestyles, we don't have time to be sick!
Homeopathic Flu Prevention
Many people get a flu shot, hoping to avoid the flu. But, do you realize that there is an effective homeopathic flu prevention program?
This is an exciting alternative, certainly one you'll want to know about and take advantage of!
Here's how it works. The World Health Organization identifies the specific strains of flu that are currently likely to pose the most threat, and creates an appropriate vaccine. A homeopathic strain is prepared from this influenza vaccine. Its composition is determined by WHO and changes yearly.
The homeopathic program involves taking one dose of this homeopathic strain per week, under the tongue, for five weeks.
Along with this, a homeopathic immune system regulator is taken. Again, one dose per week, sublingually, for five weeks, does the job. This promotes the body's process of recognizing viral or bacterial disease-causing organisms.
It may be taken by people of any age. For young children, you can dissolve the content of one dose in some water.
It's that simple! Yet, this homeopathic duo can help us to avoid influenza infections. It also reduces the risk of respiratory complications that are especially common in people whose immune defences are weak.
How Effective Is It?
A clinical study was done on 100 people, who were followed during two winters, to test the preventive effect of the homeopathic strain.
Before this homeopathic program, 82 per cent of the people involved had one episode of influenza or a similar infection, each winter.
The first winter, 78 per cent had neither influenza nor a cold. Eleven per cent had a slight winter rhinitis (nasal inflammation), but no influenza. Eleven per cent had influenza or a cold.
The second winter, 85 per cent had neither influenza nor a cold. Nine per cent had a slight winter rhinitis, but no influenza. six per cent had influenza or a cold. The results of this study are very impressive! I encourage you to take advantage of this homeopathic flu prevention today. Call me for more information.
Keep Your Hands Clean
Colds and the flu are caused by contagious viruses. Contamination nearly always occurs by human contact, through the inhalation of tiny droplets spread by infected people.
Thorough, frequent hand-washing is still the first line of defence. Parents, make sure that family members wash their hands before entering the kitchen. You will be doing your whole household a big favour!
But, when you don't have access to soap and water, then what? I have discovered Sunrider Kandesn Hand Cleansing Gel. What I like about this handy (yes, pun intended!) waterless hand cleaner is that, unlike other brands, it contains only a low percentage of alcohol and is fortified with natural ingredients. It cleans and moisturizes your hands, leaving them soft and refreshed.
Good Old Vitamin C
Where would we be without Vitamin C? I'm talking about a whole food form of supplementation, one that our bodies are designed to recognize and use! Sunrider Citric C Tab is a tasty way to ensure an adequate daily supply of absorbable Vitamin C to support your body's immune system. It contains a blend of citrus bioflavonoids, green tea leaf extract and rose hips, all high in antioxidants. It is also necessary to make collagen and to strengthen your bones and blood vessels.
I'm sure you've heard of Vitamin C, but do you know about Sunrider Alpha 20C? This amazing whole food herbal supplement is based on 3,000 years of herbal study and cutting edge technology, offering the best of both ancient and modern knowledge.
