THE FLU AND COLD FIRST AID KIT

Follow these directions at the first sign of illness. The sooner you begin, the faster you'll get well. If you start within the first 24 hours of the onset of your symptoms, you may get well in 48 hours instead of two weeks. The new flu prescription medicine Tamiflu only works if taken within 72 hours of the onset of the illness — so start taking it immediately.

  1. Rest. Take time off to sleep and rest. Do not try to keep going. Illness is a signal to slow down.
  2. Eat no animal products (eggs, fish, chicken, beef, milk products, etc.) as they produce mucus. Eat mostly hot soups, vegetables and fruit.
  3. Intravenous hydrogen peroxide, given at our office, is incredibly effective and highly recommended. The treatment takes about 30 minutes and has no side effects.
  4. Drink lots of fluids, preferably hot (such as hot lemonade, ginger tea, herb teas.

Take a very hot bath with 3 Tbsp.of ground ginger in the water. Stay in the bath for a least 20 minutes.

Drink hot ginger tea while in the tub. (Tea: 1 cup boiling water and 1/3 tsp. ground ginger. Lemon/honey may be added as desired.)

Wrap yourself in blankets and go to bed right after the bath. If you get tingly and sweat — all the better.

Unless you have diarrhea, consider a colonic or a good dose of Milk of Magnesia to rid the body of toxins and mucus.

Continue the Echatin Plus or Wellness Formula until you've taken the whole bottle, even after you're well, to build up the immune system.
