Apparently this was from a four-fold increase in the production of infection-fighting gamma interferon. Hydrogen Peroxide From what we have read, hydrogen peroxide works quite well and is supposed to be effective 80% of the time, especially if done when the symptoms first appear. While it seems contrary to what we have been taught about colds and flu we know quite a few people who have tried it with great success. In 1928 Richard Simmons, M.D. hypothesized that colds and flu viruses enter through the ear canal. His findings were dismissed by the medical community. According to Dr. Simmons, contrary to what you may think or have been taught about how you catch the flu or a cold, there is only one way that you can catch them, and that's via the ear canal, not through the eyes, nose or mouth. Keeping your fingers out of your ears will greatly reduce your chances of catching the flu or a cold, but then again the bacteria and viruses are microscopic and can be air-born and may land in your ear. Once they have entered the inner ear (middle ear) they begin their breeding process and travel to other parts of the body with the infection. Dr. Simmons’ concept was to stop the process where it began.

Probably the single best measure you can take to avoid getting the flu or a cold during the cold season is to wash your hands often and keep them away from your eyes and nose. Also, try to avoid contact with people who have respiratory illnesses. Airborne droplets from sneezes and coughs are what spread the influenza virus from person to person. So when you're sick, don't go to work. Don't spread those viral droplets around the office. Instead, stay home, get bed rest, drink nondairy fluids, take the vitamin C and herbs mentioned above, and - most beneficial - use sage and/or eucalyptus steam inhalations.

[View All Articles] Colds Colds By the time your baby turns 2, he or she will probably have come down with 8 to 10 colds. Colds are caused by a number of viruses. They are highly contagious and easily spread through the air and through direct contact with contaminated surfaces. Unfortunately, colds are a part of life. The symptoms last about a week and are all too familiar: runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, sore throat, cough and slight fever. These symptoms can be more uncomfortable for a baby than for an older child or adult. A baby can’t blow his or her nose and has a hard time breathing through the mouth. A stuffy nose can make it difficult for a baby to suck, interfering with feeding. Call your child's doctor if your child: Has a cough that does not get better after a week, or worsens. Has mucus that becomes thick and green or grayish colored. Has a sore throat that is getting worse. Develops ear or face pain.

Colds and Influenza Colds and Influenza (flu) are both caused by a virus that is passed from one individual to another through the air. These two ailments also have common symptoms, which often leads to confusion of the two conditions. Colds and flu are not the same thing, flu is much more dangerous, and can be fatal. However , due to the similarity of the symptoms the treatments available are similar for both the flu and the common cold. The flu has additional symptoms which make it identifiable from a cold. The symptoms of a cold, of which some or all may be present, include: Headache Runny/Blocked Nose Sore Throat Runny Eyes Slight Fever Dry Cough The flu has the following additional symptoms: Fever (High Temperature) Lethargy Sweating Aching of the entire body (particularly) the joints Another way to differentiate a bad cold from a case of flu is the duration of the infection and subsequent recovery. An individual will take longer to recover fully from the flu than they would from a common cold. It is possible to vaccinate against flu by monitoring the slight changes in the virus each year. However, when faced with the massive variety of cold viruses it would be impossible to vaccinate against them all. This is why there is, as yet, no cure for the common cold.

Prevention's Healing with Vitamins From the Rodale book, Prevention's Healing with Vitamins: Colds Common Nutrients for a Common Condition A phlegm-filled cough. Nose blowing that rivals any air horn blast. Sneezes so severe that even good china in the next room isn’t safe. All of these, of course, are cold symptoms. But experts think that they’re also cold senders, launching tiny droplets of mucus into the air with every wheeze, hack and honk. Inside these specks of mucus are soccer ball–shaped organisms called rhinoviruses, so tiny that 15,000 lined up side by side would barely span the space between two words on this page. Whether carried on a finger as you scratch your nose or inhaled through your nose or mouth, some of these malevolent microbes may eventually get the break they’re looking for: the chance to get inside your body. It’s all downhill from there, literally. The wavelike downward motion of the tiny hairlike projections that line your throat pushes the virus as well as your normal throat mucus toward your esophagus. If you’re fortunate, powerful digestive acids destroy the virus before it can do any harm.

Home Alternative Medicine Natural Treatments for Colds by Dee Negron Here are some natural treatments for colds that can be used in children and are also safe while nursing. When using herbs with children you can usually find a product made specifically for infants and children. If you can't here's how to determine the dosage. You take the child's weight and divide it by 150. The resulting fraction is the portion of the adult dose to administer. The first thing you'll want to do is boost your body's immune system. Echinacea, 2 capsules 3 times per day, and Colloidal Silver are great immune system boosters. You may also want to boost your intake of vitamin C, up to 500mg 4 times per day, and eat foods with plenty of fresh garlic. Anise and Mullein, in tea form and taken as needed, are both natural expectorants. Elderberry, 10ml 2 times per day, is the best antiviral product on the market, natural or otherwise. It is most effective in fighting the flu virus, but is also very effective against cold viruses. Aromatherapy can be a great tool as well. Lavender and Clary Sage in your bath are what you'll want to use. Lavender works to relax muscles and can help soothe coughs and Clary Sage helps alleviate the grumpiness that tends to accompany colds. What you'll need to look for is an essential oil. It is the oils of these plants that work, so something that merely contains a fragrance is going to be useless. Then what you do is take some unscented liquid soap and add five drops Clary Sage oil and ten drops Lavender oil and use your finger to mix the oil with the soap. This emulsifies the oils so that they mix with your bath water.

Affected tissues swell, become warm and tender, redden and may be painful. Any part of the body, inside or out can become inflamed. While bacterial infection is often the cause of internal inflammation, arthritis or allergies can also be at fault. Injury is the most common cause of external inflammation, but allergies, infection and other factors may be at the root. Both inflammation and infection can play a role in many diseases, including arthritis, gingivitis, and most "itis" conditions, heart conditions, Alzheimer's and even cancer. So, even if you don't have an infection or inflammation, ingesting more of the nutrients and herbs listed below may prevent them from occurring by neutralizing free radicals and helping to build anti-inflammatory conditions in your body. Nutrients for inflammation or infection Vitamin C with bioflavonoids are essential to healing and reducing inflammation. Drink fresh citrus juices, and eat primarily citrus fruit (including the pulp), strawberries, green peppers, honeydew melon, cooked broccoli or Brussels sprouts or kale, cantaloupe, papaya, cooked cauliflower, watercress, raspberries, parsley, raw cabbage, grapefruit, blackberries, onions, sprouts, raw spinach, and tomatoes.
