Doctors Naturae Flu Prevention Program

Keep yourself and your family healthy this cold and flu season with advice that complements. Doctors Naturae is offering flu prevention clinics and natural flu prevention injections to practice members and the public starting November 1, 2009.

Homeopathic Flu Prevention Injection – Gripp-Heel and Engystol

The natural immune boosting shot is a safe and effective alternative or addition to the regular flu shot. The injection is a combination of homeopathic medicines, Gripp-Heel and Engystol, which activate the immune system against cold and flu viruses without exposing the person to the virus.

Engystol has scientifically proven anti-viral activity against influenza and increases the ability of white blood cells to fight infection by 33%.

Gripp-Heel helps to prevent cold and flu while aiding in quicker recovery time in those that are already infected.

The remedies are administered by injection for adults or orally for children. Once the medicine is given it activates the immune system and provides protection against cold and flu viruses. This protection is administered twice each season. The flu prevention injection can also be given once you are already sick as part of a treatment program.

Oral Homeopathic Flu Prevention – Influenzinum and Thymuline
Thymuline is a homeopathic preparation that improves the function of the thymus gland. The thymus gland produces T-cells that actively seek out and destroy invading microbes like viruses and prevent infection. Dosage (taken orally once per week for 5 weeks)

Influenzinum is a homeopathic preparation that activates the immune system to the currently active flu viruses. This remedy is made from the updated influenza vaccine as determined by the World Health Organization. Dosage (taken orally once per week for 5 weeks)
The influenzinum remedy does not contain:

• Live or dead virus
  
• Formaldehyde (a neurotoxin and preservative) or thimerosal (a mercury based preservative)

Basic Flu Prevention Tips

Hand washing – Good hand-washing techniques include washing your hands with soap and water or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. Antimicrobial wipes are just as effective as soap and water in cleaning your hands but aren't as good as alcohol-based sanitizers.

Hydration – Water supplies the fluid needed to eliminate microbes, such as the flu virus.
Avoid Sugar – Simple sugars and refined carbohydrates have been shown to depress immune function for up to 5 hours.
Nutritional Treatment and Prevention

A.C.E.S + Zinc – An antioxidant combination that helps maintain the structure of mucous membranes and increases immune cell number and function. 1-2 capsules per day with food.

HMF Intensive – Consuming probiotic bacteria that are indigenous and helpful to the intestinal tract will aid in infection. 1 capsule, per day with food.

Oil of Oregano – A powerful anti-microbial supplement for combating infection. 1-5 drops under the tongue or in water or juice daily.

These therapies are safe and effective for children and adults.
