We shouldn't catch colds and flu! Nature has designed us with a natural defence mechanism, our immune system. But if our immune system does fail then there is no effective drug or antibiotic to kill the viruses that cause colds and flu.

Cold remedies can help to relieve symptoms but do not cure or reduce a colds duration. "A cold lasts approximately 14 days, symptoms of a cold treated with cold relief remedies last a fortnight!"

We can help ourselves by boosting our immune system. This will enable us to throw off the infection faster and prevent re-infection. Echinacea Purpurea is an immune system stimulant that mobilises special white blood cells called T-lymphocytes. These identify and engulf foreign infecting organisms (a process known as phagocytosis). Selenium and Zinc are nutritional supplements also required for the proper functioning of rhe immune system.

We recommend Echinaforce (Echinacea by Bioforce) and Bio-Selenium and Zinc (Pharma Nord) to help you cure your colds and prevent re-infection.
