Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between influenza and the "flu"?
Influenza is one type of virus known
to cause the flu. There are many other viruses, and many bacteria which
also cause influenza-like illness. The commonly used term "flu" refers to a combination
of respiratory symptoms and constitutional symptoms like fever, chills,
aches, and fatigue. The term "stomach flu" refers to a combination of digestive
symptoms and constitutional symptoms described above. Influenza does not cause stomach flu. There are many kinds of "flu" - only one kind is caused by influenza.
I got a flu shot last year, but I still caught the flu. Why did that happen?
According to statistics from our national
disease-tracking organization, the Center for Disease Control (CDC), less
than 15% of the samples taken from people with flu symptoms test positive
for influenza in any given year. This means that
over 85% of the flu symptoms going around
are caused by organisms which are not influenza.
The flu shot only contains
strains of the influenza virus, and it only gives protection against those
specific strains of influenza. Since viruses mutate very rapidly, it is
always a guessing-game for scientists to decide which strains of virus
they should incorporate into the flu vaccine.
According to WebMD, scientific studies regarding the use of natural remedies like zinc, vitamin C or echinacea inferred that they could be of questionable benefit in fighting off the flu. Why is that?
Scientific studies, unfortunately, focus
on one element at a time. Successful immune response to infection depends
on the body having many necessary elements at its disposal.
Are there risks involved in receiving the flu shot, antiviral flu medications, over-the-counter symptom-relief medications, or natural remedies?
Yes, there are. The flu shot, antiviral
flu medications, over-the-counter symptom-relief medications, and certain natural remedies
are not recommended for pregnant women, nursing mothers, infants, and
children under 5; as well as for individuals with asthma, other breathing
disorders, and certain immune disorders.
Is it really possible to prevent getting the flu by using natural therapies?
Absolutely! Your immune system is
constantly
working to keep a multitude of infectious organisms from overtaking your
system. Knowing exactly what your immune system needs to be successful
is the key to prevention.
Is it really possible to speed recovery from the flu using natural therapies?
Again, absolutely.
With the proper blends
of nutrients, herbs, homeopathics, and essential oils, you can stop the
progression of the flu and clean up the toxins responsible for the symptoms
of the flu in record time.
How could natural therapies actually be superior to drugs?
When natural therapies are properly applied, they do not have the
side-effects usually accompanying pharmaceutical medications.
Natural remedies support all the processes your immune system does so
well. Your immune system is constantly monitoring, and responding to,
thousands of variables which have to do with symptom expression.
Medications
attempt to address one specific process in the body. Drugs called antipyretics
lower fever. Antihistamines block histamine production. Sympathomimetic
drugs influence the sympathetic nervous system. The use of these kinds
of medications may send messages to the body which attempt to override
processes the immune system is utilizing, which it may need to defeat
an infection.
Does your Flu Prevention Protocol only work against the flu?
Not at all. I design the components
of each protocol to include everything needed to regain and retain healthy
immune function. As such, each package can be used to prevent susceptibility
from all kinds of infections.
