With cold and flu season around the corner and bronchial coughing becoming more prevalent, it’s a sign that the sinus mucus is flowing and causing a severe toxic reaction in our sinus passages, tonsils, bronchioles, and lungs.  This toxic reaction defies and weakens the immune system and makes us very vulnerable to every bug coming along.  A good ration of Vitamins A, C and D should assist the body in overcoming those nasty colds and viruses.

Speaking of viruses, I found a combination of Chinese herbs that, when used with the good old herb, Yarrow seems to cause the viruses to literally rush out of the body.  The above mentioned herbs are strong oxygen herbs and it is known  that viruses cannot survive where oxygen is present.

As I started this editorial my thoughts were on preparing for winter and cold weather.  Most of us who have children know the value of keeping our children’s immune systems up to avoid painful problems and loss of school time. It has been reported that 2 grams of Vitamin C daily decreases blood histamine levels up to 40% and works very well on itchy eyes and runny noses.

To sum it up, the Chinese combination VS-C along with a daily portion of Yarrow will help keep my body clean of virus in the fall and winter months ahead and with the season changes coming soon.  Something I long remember from childhood is making sure that the bowels are free and cleansing well during this transition.  A good regular dose of Cascara Sagrada will help with that.  Vitamin C in ample amounts also keeps things moving pretty well.  Natural alternatives work so well.
