Natural Remedies for Flu

   
In our experience, when we began to get the flu, we took Sambucol® Black Elderberry Extract (found in most health food stores) to stop the flu dead in its tracks. It works great! The first time we tried this remedy with our son, we were shocked to see him running around playing feeling great the same day it was used. However, this remedy must be taken the FIRST sign of the flu in order to really do its job. We use the regular Sambucol® Black Elderberry Extract.

In a double-blind placebo-controlled clinical study, during an outbreak of influenza B, significant improvement of symptoms, including fever was seen in 93.3% of the cases treated with Sambcol® within 2 days.  90% were completely cured in 2 -3 days compared to at least 6 days in the placebo group. In addition, many other studies have also been done on Sambucol Black Elderberry Extract.

Even though the flu symptoms are gone, we will take zinc lozenges and give the kids  zinc suckers for children, lots of liquids and citrus fruits such as grapefruit and oranges to build the immune system. Dr. Zinc® works best, tastes great, and is much cheaper than other lozenges we have tried. You can find Dr. Zinc® at these stores: Hy-Vee, Leader Drug, Marquee, Sun Mart, Health Mart, and Value Rite. This website (MyLeader.com) can help you locate a store near you.

Some doctors believe the flu virus and the cold virus enters the body through the ear canal. The following is a remedy that has been used for years by many. Many people have said this remedy will cure the cold or flu in 12-14 hours. There are several wonderful testimonials about this remedy by people claiming their colds, flu, asthma and allergies have been cured.

To use this remedy, administer a few drops of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide into each ear. (Garlic oil or tea tree oil may also work the same way.) The H2O2 starts working within 2-3 minutes killing the cold or flu virus. There will be bubbling and may be some mild stinging. However it is not painful in any way.

When the bubbling subsides in a few minutes, drain onto a tissue and repeat with the other ear.

This remedy using hydrogen peroxide is safe for children to use. However, the loud bubbling and mild stinging may scare them, so please be sure to tell them what to expect. Do not get hydrogen peroxide in the eyes. If it enters the eyes at all, flush with water at once.

Recent studies have shown echinacea to be ineffective in children under the age of eleven.
