COLD

    Cold viruses attack the moist, cooler regions of the nose, throat, sinuses, vocal cords, and larynx when our systems are run down. The virus has developed a way of avoiding destruction by the immune system and is present in a dormant state. Apparently, when we contact a cold from someone else (sneeze, handshake, kiss), the two viruses exchange fragments of genetic information to form a slightly new strain. Being a new strain, it is unrecognized by the immune system. It enters living cells undetected and begins to multiply until cell damage has taken place. The immune system drives the virus into seclusion until the next opportune time arises. Mucous membranes become swollen, red and irritated as the virus spreads from one cell to the next. Untreated colds can progress into more threatening conditions.

    * The common cold usually gives a warning that it is about to develop. From the earliest signs of tiredness, sneezing, and hoarseness, you are given a few hours to launch an attack. Immediately take Activate Immune Complex during a cold or flu and take a hot bath. In recent studies the ingredients in Activate have shown to strengthen the immune system and reduce the duration and severity of symptoms of the common cold. Take CounterAct cold and flu medicines as directed. Rub Renew Bath Oil over the chest and back, as it will boost the immune system. Breathe the steamy vapor of five drops of T36-C5 and water in a steam inhaler for fifteen minutes (air temperatures above 104 degrees kill the virus). Apply one drop of T36-C5 to each nostril of your nose every four hours. Sip vegetable broth and/or Mom's chicken soup every couple of hours. Avoid any temptation to eat heavy foods as your digestive tract, including smell and taste, are on vacation for a while. If coughing is present, use CounterAct Cough Relief Medicine as directed. CounterAct Cough Drops are formulated with menthol and Melaleuca oil to reduce coughs and sore, dry throat, as well as vitamin C to help boost the immune system. Try a hot Sustain Sport drink to fight any fever you may produce. To reduce painful muscles, bathe with Renew Bath Oil frequently. "Drown the cold" with Melaleuca Herbal Tea, by drinking one cup per hour. Take the Vitality Pack with Oligofructose Complex and CellWise. You should also take ProVex-Plus each day. Get all the rest you can.
