Effective Remedies to stop Common Communicable Illnesses

The below remedies have been found to be very effective in stopping and/or substantially eliminating the severity of common socially transmitted illnesses.

Wash hands......
A large percentage of social illnesses are transmitted via physical contact. Most particularly hand to hand and hand to face. Wash hand frequently with soap and water particularly after physical contact with ill folks. Avoid physical contact with ill folks.

H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide)
An 80% successful treatment for flu/colds infection has been buried for over 60 years. In 1928 Richard Simmons, M.D. discovered that using H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide) successful treated the onset of colds and flu virus, and especially effective when used in the early stages of infection.

Richard Simmons, M.D. hypothesized that colds and flu virus enter through the ear canal. His findings were dismissed by the medical community.

According to Dr. Simmons, contrary to what you may think or have been taught about how you catch the flu or the cold there is only one way that you can catch the two, and that's via the ear canal not through the eyes or nose or mouth as most have believed.

Keeping your fingers out of your ears will greatly reduce your chances of catching them, but then again these two are microscopic and can be air-born and may land on or even in your ear. Once they have entered the inner-ear (middle-ear) there they begin their breeding process, and from there they have access to every avenue throughout our body to travel to and to infect and make us sick.

Remarkable results were found in curing the flu & cold within 12 to 14 hours when administering a few drops of 3% Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) into each infected ear, (sometimes only one ear is infected) The H2O2 starts working within 2 to 3 minutes in killing the flu or cold; there will be some bubbling and in some cases mild stinging occurs. Wait until the bubbling & stinging subside (usually 5 to 10 min) then drain onto tissue and repeat other ear. A bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide in 3% solution is available at any drug store for a couple of dollars."

Zinc...A Cure For The Common Cold?
Zinc has been shown, in studies, to inhibit the reproduction of viruses and may promote the production of the virus-fighter interferon. In order to determine the effectiveness of zinc as a treatment for the common cold, Sherif B. Mossad, M.D. and colleagues studied 100 patients at the Cleveland Clinic.

Patients treated received zinc gluconate lozenges within 24 hours of contracting a cold. They continued to dissolve the lozenges in their mouths every 2 hours while awake until all cold symptoms had gone away. The results of the Cleveland Clinic study, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine (1996;125:81-88), showed a significantly shorter duration of symptoms (4.4 days vs. 7.6 days) in patients taking the zinc lozenges compared to those who were given placebo (non-zinc) lozenges.

The results of this study require the support of others to determine if patients with the common cold should take zinc. If verified, they could lead to significant economic savings in lost wages and labor as well as increased playtime for those who are released earlier from the clutches of the common cold.

His recommendation is not 1 gram a day, or 2 grams a day of vitamin C but at the first sign of a cold, take a gram of vitamin C or 2 grams and then an hour later, if the symptoms still exist - if you're still sneezing, or your nose is running or feel shivery, take another 1 or 2 grams of vitamin C. Keep doing that until you forget because the symptoms have gone away.

Garlic
Garlic is one of the more popular home cures for colds. Many cultures have a home remedy for the cold using garlic, whether it’s chicken soup with lots of garlic, a drink made with raw crushed garlic, or if it just involves eating raw garlic

The cold-fighting compound in garlic is thought to be allicin, which has demonstrated anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties. Allicin is what gives garlic the distinctive hot flavor. To maximize the amount of allicin, fresh garlic should be chopped or crushed and it should be raw. It’s also available in pill form.

In a study involving 146 people, participants received either a garlic supplement or a placebo for 12 weeks between November and February. People who took garlic reduced the risk of catching a cold by more than half. The study also found that garlic reduced the recovery time in people who caught a cold. More research is needed to corroborate these results.

Garlic does have some possible side effects and safety concerns. Bad breath and body odor are perhaps the most common side effects; however, dizziness, sweating, headache, fever, chills and runny nose have also been reported. Large amounts may irritate the mouth or result in indigestion. Garlic supplements should avoided by people with bleeding disorders, two weeks before or after surgery, or by those taking "blood-thinning" medications such as warfarin (Coumadin) or supplements believed to affect blood clotting such as vitamin E, garlic or ginkgo. Garlic may also lower blood glucose levels and increase the release of insulin, so it should be used with caution by people taking drugs that lower blood sugar. People with allergies to plants in the lily family (including onion, leeks and chives) should avoid garlic. Pregnant women should avoid garlic in supplement form because it may increase the risk of bleeding.
