HOW HARD WILL WE BE HIT WITH INFLUENZA THIS YEAR? WHAT ARE SOME SEASONAL SOLUTIONS WE SHOULD UTILIZE?
Flu season can start as early as October and linger as late as May, peaking between December and February. Symptoms of flu include muscle aches, dry cough or cough with phlegm, chills, fever, fatigue, flushing, sweating, loss of appetite, congestion, runny nose and sneezing. Some seasonal solutions for the flu include:
Go fish! A study published in Cell, found a modified omega-3 fatty acid known as protectin D1 markedly increased the chances of survival in mice infected with various strains of influenza virus. Researchers found that protectin D1 actually disrupts replication of influenza.
Go Natural: Low-cost homeopathic medicine Oscillococcinum has been clinically shown to shorten both the severity and duration of flu symptoms. When patients took it within 24 hours of the onset of symptoms, nearly 63 percent showed “clear improvement” or “complete resolution” within 48 hours. Oscillococcinum comes in the form of tiny pellets in a vial that you dispense under your tongue.
