related
to your immune system's response to fighting colds & flu.
Definition: Common colds are a viral infection of the upper
respiratory tract. The flu is an acute viral infection of the respiratory tract.
It is highly contagious.
Immunity is a natural or acquired resistance to disease. The immune system is
the body's built-in system of protection against outside biological micro-organisms.
Description: Colds can occur all year around, although they are mostly seen
in the winter months or during a rainy season. It is characterized by inflamed mucous membranes
of the respiratory system, usually with episodes of sneezing and coughing. Colds are
the most common contractible infections in the human race!
The flu
(influenza) is a contagious viral disease of the respiratory tract, causing inflammation,
sneezing, coughing and a sore throat. Colds and flu are often mistaken for each other
due to the similarities of their symptoms. There are many overlaps in this
area but the flu generally is more serious in nature.
Symptoms like fever and headache are
common with the flu, but not usually seen in the common cold. Sneezing, sore throat,
stuffy nose and tiredness are common to both, although fatigue is much more common
with the flu. |

Statistics: An average adult can expect to get 2 to 3 colds per year
(quite avoidable). Children average 3 to 8 colds per year putting a strain on their
immature immune systems. The most common cold virus is the rhinovirus, which causes about
35% of all colds.
The Spanish flu of 1918-19 caused an estimated 20 million
deaths worldwide. The Asian flu of 1957-58 resulted in 500,000 deaths in the U.S. alone.
The Hong Kong flu of 1968-69 resulted in 34,000 deaths in the United States.
Causes: Colds are caught by inhaling the virus (if you are close enough to
someone who sneezes), or by touching your nose, eyes or mouth after you have touched
something contaminated by the virus.
You may catch the flu when an infected person
coughs, sneezes or speaks and sends tiny flu viruses into the air for other people
to breathe. |
Symptoms: Symptoms can be extremely similar for both colds and the flu,
but the flu produces more serious and debilitating effects. Often you
can continue your usual daily routines even with a cold, whereas with the flu your
body requires more rest and may have difficulty performing normal tasks.
Conventional Treatments: In the U.K. & USA
more money is spent on over-the-counter medications for coughs and colds than any other
ailment. While some of these treatments may relieve symptoms associated with colds and coughs,
none will effect a cure or shorten its duration and all interfere with your body's
own natural (immune system) efforts.

Natural Treatments: Exercise,
rest, a balanced diet and building up your body's resistance will all help lead
you to a healthy immune system. The only way to get rid of a cold or flu is
to allow your body to eliminate the virus in its own way. Therefore the importance
of prevention cannot be overstated.
If you tend to get colds and/or flu often it
may be a sign that your immune system is not working properly. Maintaining or improving
your immune system is your best protection against colds and flu.
You can take
dietary supplements
for improved immune response and in doing so, utilize natural, non-toxic ingredients.
Fortunately science has quite recently discovered the beneficial immune enhancing properties of
various natural ingredients:
Herbal Extracts - Andrographis
paniculata leaf (Indian Echinacea), Olive leaf, Bilberry, Siberian Ginseng, Black Cumin,
Aloe Vera, Tumeric and Mahonia Grape extract
Immune System builders -
Beta 1, 3-glucan and Quercetin
Essential minerals - Copper (as Copper Gluconate), Selenium, Zinc (as Zinc Citrate)
and Magnesium (as Magnesium Citrate)
Specialty Ingredients -
DMG (Dimethylglycine), L-Glutathione, N-Acetyl Cysteine and
Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) among others.

Although all of these ingredients have
benefits on their own, the key is to combine the right amounts of these nutrient
extracts and blend them in a controlled environment. Exact combination and dosage
is extremely important and if these ingredients were formulated "out of balance" it
is possible they could produce unwanted compounds and do your body harm. It is because
of these potential dangers that you should never buy a variety of supplements
"off-the-shelf" to cover everything and just take them all!
We believe that
Viral-Protec dietary
supplements formula has the right combination to give your immune system a boost and
help prevent colds and the flu.
