Hydrogen Peroxide for Colds and Flu
Not something we should really be thinking about at this time of years, but its most likely to happen going into a change of season. I a currently FULL OF IT!!
Speaking of hydrogen peroxide, this naturally occurring substance has great benefits for colds and flu sufferers. It can be effective 80% of the time, especially if used when symptoms first appear.
Colds and flu actually enter the body through the ear canal, not through the eyes, nose or mouth, as most have believed. In 1938 German researchers had great success using hydrogen peroxide for treatment of colds and the flu. However, their data had been ignored of over 60 years, perhaps because there ain't much money to be made selling hydrogen peroxide. (A little bottle at the pharmacy can cost as little as a couple of pounds).
Administering a few drops of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) into each ear, although often only one ear is infected. It starts acting immediately and after a few minutes all germs will be neutralized. There will be some bubbling noise sensation in the ears and a mild stinging. Start with one ear by holding the head toward one side and once the bubbling/sting has subsided, drain onto tissue and repeat with the other ear. One or 2 applications are usually enough.
Hydrogen Peroxide at 3% solution is perfectly sage for infants/children and adults. Best way to administer is with a dropper. If it gets into eyes immediately rinse with water.
The above information was taken from Andreas Moritz book Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation. I have only recently read this and am well into my second week of coughs and sniffs, however I am going to certainly give it a shot and shall report back my findings!
Quercetin and Vitamin C for Hayfever
Another thing some of you are probably starting to suffer with at this time of year is Hayfever, or the start of it.... Quercetin is a natural anti histamine and is reported to seriously suppress symptoms. I tried it last summer and it certainly made the season more bearable. Increasing ones Vitamin C intake is also a good idea. As well as homeopathic remedies which really do work. I work with a Naturopath and Homeopath who matches a remedy specifically to my personal symptoms and I would highly recommend this.
Did you know at the start of a cold or infection, increasing your Vitamin C to 2000mg every 2 hours is likely to dramatically shorten the duration! I really should practice what I preach!!!
Personally my sinus problems are exacerbated by some foods I eat. After the Liver Cleanse I felt tip top but reverted back to wheat and dairy which is when things started to go wrong again! Our bodies are so in tune with what we need and what we don't! I definitely think a 2nd Liver Cleanse is on the cards in which after I abstain from those culprits forever!!
