With the start of the new school year cold and flu season begins too. As children come together in enclosed areas, the virus any one child carries has a chance to infect all the others. Then it goes home to spread to their families, then to their co-workers at the office and on it goes.
Symptoms of colds and flu are similar but you can usually tell them apart by watching the symptoms. Colds normally begin slowly, a few days after exposure to the virus. It begins with a sore throat, sneezing, runny nose and then after a few days coughing begins. Flu usually begins suddenly, with symptoms including headache, dry cough, aching muscles, chills and fever up to 104 degrees F. The symptoms are usually more severe than that of colds.
A person who is under stress or suffers lack of sleep, poor diet, lack of physical exercise, exposure to toxins and allergies is likely to have more severe symptoms.
A healthy body has natural immune defenses that attack the viruses and kill them. One component of this immune system is a protein that is called interferon. As one gets older, less interferon is produced by the body, possibly because of the stresses you undergo. There are very few reliable treatments for cold and flu viruses. According to medical experts, antibiotics should not be used unless there is an accompanying infection. Antibiotics are not effective against viruses. One possible therapy for colds and flu is an injection of interferon alpha. However, this treatment can cause many unpleasant side effects including nose bleeds and flu-like symptoms-and who wants to trade flu for flu-like symptoms?
Now you can protect your body and activate your immune system with a natural energy supplement that includes a blend of botanicals that provide your body with the building blocks for natural interferon. Protection without the bad side effects! That supplement is something you will want to have on hand and use regularly to protect your family during this cold and flu season.
