Fever, aching muscles, cough, sore throat, sneezing, fatigue and headache are all symptoms of your next cold or flu. It always seems to arrive at the worst time when you’re busy at work, on the weekend or during the holidays. For young children and seniors, the cold or flu can be particularly detrimental, leading to compliations such as bronchitis or pneumonia.

Many people opt for a flu shot from the public health system, assuming it can provide universal protection against colds and flu. According to laboratory reports from the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, however, only 7-13% of the upper respiratory infections each year are actually caused by the flu strains that the vaccination provides protection against. That leaves you totally unprotected for the large majority of infections (87-93%) caused by other pathogens. This is one of the reasons why many people who have a flu shot still get sick.

The best method to prevent colds and flu is to boost your immune system so that you can fight off those nasty bugs. Even if you have a flu shot, you still need to boost your immune system because you are still extremely vulnerable to infection. We do this at our centre using the following program:

Injection

A combination of several German natural medicines is administered by injection to boost your immune system. It’s a very small needle and relatively painless. These medicines work by stimulating your immune system to a high state of readiness to act against any strain of colds, flu and other viral diseases. While one injection in the autumn is the norm, many patients with compromised immune systems have a series of 6 injections and others have them regularly throughout the cold and flu season. If you are not fond of needles the immune system booster can be taken orally, the preferred method for children.

Oral Pellets

Following the injection or oral application of the injection, another German natural medicine, is taken by mouth under the tongue once per week for five weeks, then once per month for the duration of the cold and flu season. It supports the thymus gland by helping it to produce mature and active immune cells that seek out and destroy invading viruses. In addition, a special influenza medicine is prepared each year to specifically activate the immune system against this year’s viruses. It is taken at the same time as the other medicine. Both are dispensed in tiny pellets. Children easily take these medicines because the pellets taste good. 

More than 80% Effective

Factors that affect your susceptibility to colds and flu include diet, sleep, fatigue and stress. Individuals who suffer from chronic stress are twice as likely to get sick. The usual recommendations are to eat whole foods, drink lots of pure water, wash your hands, get plenty of rest and sleep, exercise regularly and relax. The immune system booster program is more than 80% effective at preventing colds and flu. The program can be administered at any time of the year and is also used as part of a treatment protocol if you get sick. To defeat colds and flu start boosting your immune defenses today.
