Flu is short for influenza, which is an acute respiratory illness. Most people who get the flu recover completely in 1 to 2 weeks, but some will develop serious and potentially life-threatening medical complications, such as pneumonia.
The symptoms of a flu include fever, fatigue, muscle pain, headache, runny nose, cough and stomach upset including vomiting and diarrhea.
Most over-the-counter medications only treat the symptoms of a flu virus, and while the flu shot is available, we do not recommend them. At Sloan Natural Health Centre (SNHC), we offer several remedies that have worked marvellously well for our patients over the years.
Most of the products below do not list critical timing and effective dosage instructions and upon purchase we would be pleased to give you directions for using these products.
Mucococcinum. Well-known and used in Europe for many years, this flu prevention formula easily dissolves in the mouth and is very effective. Our patients who use Mucococcinum have approximately a 98% flu prevention rate. It is most effective when dosage begins right after Labour Day until mid-May when spring weather starts to stabilize.
Pro Andrographis. This is one of our favourites, not only for the flu but the common cold as well. When taken at the earliest sign of symptoms, it will shorten the duration of most any infection by half or more! This clinically proven Chinese herb extract is professional strength and can be dispensed at SNHC by Dr. Sloan or other authorized practitioners at SNHC.
Argentum (Silver) is effective for viruses, bacteria, fungus and parasites. This powerhouse is remarkable in its ability to clean up most of the common ‘bugs’ we are exposed to, and it’s a less invasive alternative to antibiotics.
Echinacea. This plant has the immune stimulating polysaccharides that give it an important role in natural antiviral treatments. These polysaccharides naturally enhance the body’s resistance to infection and can be found in various forms such as capsules and tea bags.
If you seem to be getting sick frequently, you may have a compromised immune system and it’s important that this is addressed properly as soon as possible. At SNHC we have the expertise to get your health and strength back to a level that it may not have been for years!
