COLD AND FLU
Fifty
percent of Americans suffer severe colds during any given year.
Americans spend $5 billion every year including drugs, doctor's fees,
and time lost from the workplace.
Most
colds are caused by viruses. Sometimes
a cold will be very mild; other times an infection from a cold virus will cause
a sore throat, stuffy nose, fever, or just the miseries.
According
to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Americans waste more than $1 billion
a year on cold remedies "that simple don't work".
Women will miss a total of 46 million workdays in a year due to colds
and flu.

Great news!
Yes, SafeCareä Cold
& Flu Reliefä can treat cold or flu conditions, and even more
importantly stop a cold or flu in its early stages and better yet prevent the
illness from ever occurring. The
following information will greatly empower people to both overcome and prevent
untimely, debilitating cold and flu symptoms.
SafeCareä Colds
and Flu Reliefä taken at the very first onset of any signs or symptoms
(such as feeling a little stuffy, weak, scratchy throat or just feeling a little
off) can stop the cold and flu cycle in its tracks!
If you are symptomatic I recommend taking a dose about every 1/2-hour
to every 1 hour for at least 1/2 of a day.
Follow this by taking a dose every 2 to 3 hours during the symptomatic
state.
Once symptoms
have notably improved, the frequency of dosage can be decreased.
A general rule of thumb I use is when symptoms have decreased by 50%,
I decrease the dosage frequency by 50%.
When symptoms have decreased by 80%, I decrease the original dosage by
80%.
SafeCareä Cold
& Flu Reliefä can be used preventively during high-risk seasons.
The home and work place can literally become cold and flu factories,
especially during the changing seasons and winter months.
By the time a family member has acquired a cold or flu, someone will
be sick in the average family of five for the next one or two months.
Not only is this sickness preventable, the stress on all the family members
can be eliminated as well. It is
a blessing to know that these little cold and flu bugs don't have to rob you
of your health, peace, joy or productivity.
Remember that prevention is always better than treatment no matter how
great the treatment.
The common
cold can present itself in a variety of forms.
The most common symptoms of a cold are runny nose, scratchy throat, watery
eyes, stuffed sinuses, and congestion.
Symptoms prevalent to flu virus include fever backache, headache, muscle
and joint pain, sore throat, and cough.
While symptoms may vary, fever is usually associated with the flu.
Cold and flu
cases tend to occur during the cooler months because we spend more time indoors,
in close quarters, with other people carrying viruses, and often, in poorly
ventilated rooms where colds spread fast.
The following
is a list of lifestyle management procedures to help you feel more comfortable
and aid in your body's healing process during a cold or flu.
Adopting these self-care techniques into your every day life can help
you more effectively overcome and maintain great health.
·
Rest!
Listen to your body. If
you feel the need to rest or sleep, do so.
Though regular exercise can boost your immune system, during a cold or
flu it may be wise to skip or lighten usual workout or exercise program.
·
Drink plenty of liquids.
Liquid
consumption has many benefits. It
will keep mucous moving and maintain a moist respiratory tract that repels viral
infection. The best liquids to
consume are water, followed by vegetable juices, clear soup broths, and herbal
teas.
·
Watch the sugar!
Sugar, even if derived from natural sources like
fruit juice and honey, can impair immune function.
Keep sugar to a minimum.
·
Stay warm!
Wear warm clothing and stay indoors in a warm, moist
environment. Use a steam vaporizer
to help keep the room humidity high enough.
An excessively dry environment will dehydrate the mucous membranes that
line the respiratory tract and will create an inviting environment for the virus.
·
Take Vitamin C.
Take 500 to 1,000 mg of vitamin C every 2 hours.
Decrease if diarrhea occurs.
·
Take Beta Carotene.
200,000 IU per day can help boost immune function.
·
Maintain a positive attitude. At the most
your cold or flu will last 3-7 days, so follow these guidelines and allow your
body time to cleanse itself and restore.
