See book keywords and concepts |  I recommend high-dose vitamin C at the first sign of a cold, flu, or other bacterial or viral infections.
Vitamin C boosts the action of the immune system by increasing the production of white blood cells, antibodies, and the natural antiviral, interferon. Taking 500-1,000 mg of vitamin C every hour or so as soon as symptoms begin will sometimes stop the bug in its tracks— even with really tough viral infections like herpes and shingles.

See book keywords and concepts |  But it has only been with the help of more recent and sophisticated lab techniques that scientists have been capable of pinpointing how certain viruses, called enteroviruses, second only to the common cold as the most common cause of viral infections, incite some cases of type 1 diabetes. Enteroviruses, those ordinary viral infections that keep young children home from day care or school with cold and flulike symptoms and sometimes fever and muscle aches, cause an estimated 10 to 15 million infections a year in the United States. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The unusual thing about the flowers is that they are carnivorous and eat insects, protecting the tree against pests, parasites, viral infections, and fungal growth.
The power of the tree lies in the inner bark. It can be removed without damage, dried, from which an extract is obtained. The tree renews its bark and, therefore, serves as a continuous supply source. The active ingredient is known as Lapacho. The herbal remedy is valued for its ability to strengthen and balance the body's immune system. | | According to studies cited by the American magazine Newsweek, seven out of ten Americans who seek treatment for the common cold receive antibiotics - even though it is a fact that antibiotics are useless against viral infections such as colds or the flu. When these powerful yet ineffective drugs are administered to patients with such relatively mild illnesses, neither patient nor doctor seems to be aware of the chaos the drugs can create in the body of an infected person. | | Although every medical student knows that viral infections (including colds and the flu) do not respond to antibiotics, millions of people who are afflicted with these ills still receive antibiotic prescriptions from their doctors. In 1983, more than 32 million Americans visited a doctor for treatment of the common cold and 95 percent of them went home with a prescription drug. More than half of them were unnecessarily given a prescription for an antibiotic. Now 25 years later, this trend has nearly doubled. | | If HIV were capable of infecting T-cells or other parts of the immune system, then, as is the case with every other type of viral infections, the cell-free virus particles or virions would easily be detected in the bloodstream. However, in the majority of AIDS patients, there are no viruses found anywhere, and in the remaining few there are not even enough present in the blood to cause as much as a simple cold. This makes AIDS patients de facto HIV-negative. The 20 million deaths attributed to AIDS were, in fact, not caused by HIV, but other reasons. | | By filling up the connective tissues of our body with unused protein, we turn the body into an overflowing pool of harmful acids and waste, thereby laying a fertile ground for disease, including arteriosclerosis and bacterial or viral infections. To consider meat a natural food for humans is, therefore, more than farfetched, especially when it is known to kill so many people.
At the root of the problem lies man's inability to properly break down meat protein into amino acids. Chunks of undigested meat pass into the intestinal tract and, along with them, parasites. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Interferon as a drug is a mimic of natural interferon which is a protein produced by the body's cells in response to viral infections. More severe toxic reactions (Grades III and IV) were recorded in 9.9% of patients receiving 5-FU or levamisole alone, but in 31% of patients receiving the two drugs plus interferon. [Annals Surgery 242: 178-87, 2005] In another study, at least one Grade IV toxic reaction occurred among 39% of patients receiving two chemotherapy drugs. |

See article keywords and concepts |  An article entitled "Viral Infections in Man Associated with Acquired Immunological Deficiency States" appears in Federation Proceedings. Dr. MacArthur and Fort Detrick's Special Operations Division have, at this point, been conducting mycoplasma research to create a synthetic immunosuppressive agent for about one year, again suggesting that this research may have produced HIV (Goliszek). |
Bottom Line Health
See book keywords and concepts | | Also, asthma is notoriously difficult to diagnose in children younger than two, and wheezing can be a sign of any of a number of viral infections that typically don't respond to inhaled corticosteroids.
"Both studies together strengthen the evidence that treatment with inhaled corticosteroids doesn't alter the natural course of asthma," says Gold. However, "That doesn't mean that [they] shouldn't be used very selectively with young kids who are having frequent symptoms," she adds. | | Vitamin C fights viral infections. Start with 5,000 mg daily in divided doses. If loose stools occur, cut back to 3,000 mg (or less).
HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES
Homeopathy is based on the idea that "like cures like"—substances that cause certain symptoms in a healthy person can also cure those same symptoms in someone who is sick. For theflu, I recommend the following homeopathic treatments...
•Homeopathic influenzinum. Made from active flu strains, this stimulates the body's own defense system to resist infection. It can be used for the prevention or treatment of flu and has no side effects. |
Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  One group of researchers has suggested that some CFS patients may really have chronic viral infections of the heart. Though they were unable to find an actual virus, they did find antibodies to viral building blocks in some CFS patients. This is an important hypothesis that we are also pursuing, but I don't think it will prove to be a major factor for many CFS patients. In sixteen years of practice, I have not seen one patient go on to develop anything suggestive of heart failure. |
Ray D. Strand
See book keywords and concepts |  Congestive heart failure and cardiomyopathy have numerous causes: hypertension, repeated or severe heart attacks, viral infections, and infiltrative heart diseases like lupus or scleroderma, to name a few. In each case the disease weakens the strength of the heart muscle so that it is unable to handle the amount of blood it receives from the body. The heart tries to compensate for its weakened state by dilating and beating faster. But blood eventually backs up into the lungs, filling them with fluid. This is called congestive heart failure. |
Lester A. Mitscher and Victoria Toews
See book keywords and concepts |  Other research shows that green tea, in animals, prevents liver injuries caused by viral infections. When Japanese epidemiologists surveyed the diets and tracked the liver health of 1,371 adult men, they discovered that "increased consumption of green tea, especially more than ten cups a day, was related to decreased concentrations of hepatological markers" that would indicate cell damage to the liver.19
Although the general function of the liver is to protect the body, it can cause harm by activating carcinogens through the cytochrome P450 enzyme system in the liver. |

See book keywords and concepts |  To treat viral infections: Acetaminophen (Tylenol®), or ibuprofen (Motrin®) may z be used as directed to alleviate pain. Saltwater gargles (1 tsp of salt mixed in 2 cups of distilled water) may also be helpful. Eating cool fruit that feels good to the throat for ^ a couple of days may be more comfortable. Some plants, such as larch taken at 1 g *X twice a day in powder form, may boost the immune system and decrease the length of LLJ i the viral infection.
To treat bacterial infections: Streptococcus A (see Strep Throat, p. | | Astragalus: Although astragalus has demonstrated a potent ability to enhance immunity, inhibit viral infections, and improve fatigue, it should not be used to treat an acute infection. Astragalus is best taken to treat chronic tonsillitis or as a preventive measure. Boil 10 g of root in 1 cup of water and drink, or take 6 ml of tincture per day.
Echinacea: Although several species of echinacea are used medicinally, Echinacea purpurea is the most widely cultivated due to the fact it can be easily grown and the whole plant (flower, leaf, seed, and root) can be taken. |

See book keywords and concepts |  It is used to treat cardiovascular disease, colds and viral infections, hay fever, digestive disorders, and fungal infections such as thrush. In the past it has been recommended against intestinal parasites.
Garlic is best taken in its natural form, chopped or crushed to be more readily digestible. For an infusion, simply place 4-6 cloves in a cup of cool water and leave for six hours before drinking. Add 1-20 ml of brandy to preserve the garlic and break down its concentration.
Note: Avoid giving garlic to children under five years of age. |

See book keywords and concepts |  NES research shows that the Heart Driver field can be compromised easily by viral infections in the heart organ, and it is especially susceptible because of its bioenergetic link to the stomach field, which is the point of entry into your body for many toxins and pathogens. It can also be weakened by stress, emotional or physical shocks, and particular pollutants, especially 4-phenylcyclohexene (from carpet backing and carpet off-gassing), dioxane (an industrial solvent), and the measles-mumps-rubella vaccination. | | Overwork and too much hard exercise had taken their toll, and Harry was continually suffering from colds and other viral infections. His chest was in a constant squeeze and his breathing labored. His lymph glands were in a perpetual state of swelling. Even his thinking seemed to be getting foggier and foggier.
He had managed to finish school, but looking back, Harry describes the next several years as an "encompassing black cloud, a dreamland that I hoped one day I would get out of. | | Additional NES research suggests that many childhood disorders may have bioenergetic ties to inflammatory responses provoked by viral infections or even live inoculations. There are several Driver Infoceuticals that bioenergetically correlate to these types of problems more directly, provided the NES scan shows them as distorted, so the Energy Star 5 Infoceutical, in almost all cases, is better used as a fallback if relief is not achieved using other Infoceuticals. |
Neal D. Barnard and Bryanna Clark Grogan
See book keywords and concepts |  Prior evidence had suggested that viral infections may play a role, and indeed, viruses appear to have done so for some infants in the milk study. Specifically, viruses seem to stimulate immune cells, perhaps making them more active against cow's milk proteins than they would normally be. Or, cow's milk proteins may influence the course of viral infections in some way.11 The idea is that the interplay between cow's milk formula and viruses may put babies at increased risk.
No one knows what the research on milk and type 1 diabetes will ultimately show. |

See article keywords and concepts |  I have personally used it to overcome viral infections acquired during air travel. It is also believed by many that this electrification of the blood is useful during any kind of cleansing treatment such as a juice cleanse or a liver detox.
However, there are serious safety implications in using any device to electrically treat your blood. So I strongly recommend that you only pursue this application under the direct supervision of a licensed naturopathic physician. Do NOT electrify your own blood unless you are medically trained and fully understand what you're doing. |
Jack Challem
See book keywords and concepts |  In some cases viral infections lead to myocarditis, an inflammation of the heart muscle. Such viral infections can disrupt the DNA in heart cells and lead to the deaths of large numbers of heart cells. Melinda Beck, Ph.D., of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Orville Levander, Ph.D., of the U.S. Department of Agriculture have shown that infection with the coxsackie virus, a common cause of sore throats and coldlike symptoms, combined with selenium deficiency, can lead to a viral infection of the heart and heart failure. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Infection (Bacterial and Viral)
Bacterial and viral infections, especially wounds, were a major concern. Twelve plant species were used, mostly as poultices, to treat infected wounds, one of them to treat gangrene. Eleven species were used to treat internal bacterial infections.
Other Uses
A wide variety of plants was used to treat other ailments: Eight species served as purgatives, five were used to remedy cramps. Hemorrhages, eye infections, skin disorders and parasites (amebas and worms) were treated with four species each. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Boneset boosts the body's resistance to both bacterial and viral infections, perhaps due to its polysaccharide content, which increases white blood cell production. In vivo studies indicate that the plant exhibits some antitumor activity. It is often used in the treatment of allergic rhinitis, arthritic and rheumatism pain, bronchitis, catarrh, chest colds, coughs, dyspepsia, fever, flu, herpes I and II, tapeworm, and typhoid. Inhaling the vapors is of benefit in cases of catarrh.
The cold infusion is tonic and mildly laxative. The warm infusion is more diaphoretic. | | Saint John's wort is used to treat anorexia, anxiety, attention deficit disorder, bedwetting, boils, burns, carbuncles, chronic fatigue syndrome, colds, colic, concussion, cough, depression (mild to moderate), diarrhea, dysentery, fear, fever, flu, gastritis (chronic), gout, headache, herpes, hydrocephalus, hypothyroidism, hysteria, insomnia, irritability, jaundice, menopause symptoms, nervous habits (nail biting, hair pulling, and so on), nerve injury, neuralgia, puncture wounds, rheumatism, shingles, shock, stomachache, tuberculosis, ulcers, viral infections, and worms. | | It stimulates wound healing, reduces swelling in glands, and is excellent for treating bacterial, fungal, and viral infections, in part by encouraging white blood cells to phagocytose bacteria. It has long been used by the Zulu people of Africa as a remedy against toothache. It is also used in the treatment of bacterial infection, bladder inflammation, Candida, flatulence, fungal infection, gout, headache, malaria, nausea, rheumatic pain, staph infection, swollen glands, and viral infection. |
Thomson Healthcare, Inc.
See book keywords and concepts |  Echinacea preparations are commonly given in Europe for the prophylaxis or treatment of bacterial and viral infections and as an adjunct to treatment of more severe infections. Echinacea extracts are commonly used to treat upper respiratory infections, influenza-like infections, and are reported to significantly reduce the symptoms accompanying the common cold. When taken soon after an exposure, extracts may lessen the severity and lead to earlier resolution (Gruber & DerMarderosian, 1996). The herb is also used as an adjuvant therapy for frequently recurring infections of the urinary tract. |
