Symptoms of colds and flu are not produced by germs or viruses. They are produced by the body's immune response. These symptoms merely show that the body is trying to cleanse itself through all the portals—the sinuses and lungs (sinus drainage, sneezing, coughing, etc.), skin (sweats and rashes), lymph system (swollen glands and tonsils), stomach (vomiting) and bowels (diarrhea). It may also attempt to "burn off" toxins by generating a fever .
t's hard to change our thinking on this matter, but all the evidence points to it. During radiation sickness, for example, the body turns on the same mechanisms to clear itself of this unseen, unfelt enemy that it doesn't know how to fight. So it cleans and strengthens itself so it can better survive the attack. Whether it be a cold or flu virus, bacteria, parasite, radiation or other threat of death, if the body has time, it will produce the same basic variety of symptoms.
Drug therapy is counter-productive, because drugs are used to stop the symptoms. Herbs are an excellent aid to over-coming colds and flu because they nourish and strengthen the body, thus helping to accomplish what it is trying to do—CLEANSE itself. Herbs have been shown to help bolster the body's natural immune response, dispel congestion and phlegm and strengthen the whole system without undue or harmful stress.
