Fall Flu Prevention Readiness

Are you ready for cold weather and back to school exposure? The best prevention is a strong constitution-- which ensures a dynamic immune system. Homeopathic constitutional treatment may strengthen a person who has previously been susceptible. Do you stay well when all around you your classmates and workmates are falling ill? This kind of health is invaluable. I always marvel when even small school children can go for 2 and 3 years with out getting a cold after receiving their constitutional remedy.

AT THE FIRST SIGN of any cold or flu symptoms. 3 doses in the first 24 hours. Did you know that there have been three double blind, placebo controlled trials done by independent researchers using Oscillo to treat people with the flu? They found that the best results happened if it was taken within 48 hours of onset of the flu. Remember 10-15 granules is a dose --you do not have to take the whole vial as a dose.

Take a monthly preventive dose of Oscillococcinum ( on a day when you are well) through the cold weather months. Your own natural flu shot--without the needle! Remember that a "cold" is also a virus- not just "the flu".

There is a popular European protocol in which Influenzinum 9c is taken weekly for 4 weeks in early fall and then another dose one month later. Influenzinum contains the three most recent strains of the 2005-6 flu virus.

Homeopaths world wide are preparing for Avian Flu-- again we stress that a strong constitution is the best defense and the above Oscillo and Influenzinum dosing may be protective BUT we are waiting to decide which remedy is best because it has to be based on the specific symptoms and we do not know exactly what those will until it comes.

Families who tend to get Streptococcal infections-strep throat etc.-can take the remedy Streptococcin 200 as a preventive once in the Fall --and some may need another dose after January.
