Symptoms of the common cold:

-Sneezing, runny nose, swelling of the mucous membranes

-Cough, hoarseness, sore throat and neck

-Headache, burning eyes

Common cold and flu:

Common cold illnesses and the flu share many common features (cough, sore throat and neck) but also have differences. Flu generally begins suddenly. In flu, fever as a rule is higher than that seen in the common cold, and the patient also feels much weaker.

IT CAN TRIGGER MORE SERIOUS ILLNESSES

Causes of the common cold:

The common cold is caused by a viral infection of the upper respiratory tract. Afterward, it becomes easier for other agents, such as bacteria, to enter the body. With the involvement of many microorganisms, a "flu-like mixture" of disease symptoms of varying severity emerges.

An unresolved common cold can trigger more serious illnesses such as pneumonia, bronchitis, tonsillitis, and chronic respiratory tract inflammation.

The symptoms of Covid-19 also present exactly like an upper respiratory tract infection, like the common cold.

The most important points for preventing Covid-19 and viral flu infections;

-Eating a healthy and balanced diet with fresh organic foods

-Exercising in clean air

-Drinking plenty of clean water (bottled water or clean tap water)

-Replacing missing micronutrients

Having a healthy gut flora is important for the immune system!

-The most important micronutrients for the immune system are zinc and vitamin C. In case of infection, we need large amounts of both. You can also use these for a short period as a precaution during times when infection risk increases.

-You should pay attention to keeping your feet warm, especially during infections (flu, coronavirus).

-Gut care is important for a healthy immune system.

-90% of the immune system is located in the intestines. Nutrients cannot be properly absorbed by intestines that are not functioning well. In this case, our defense against infections is impaired.

TREATMENT AGAINST VIRUSES

Antibiotics do not kill viruses. Nevertheless, in the case of viral infection, they are often given to prevent superinfections that may occur with bacteria. I have observed that patients who follow the treatments I present below can almost always manage without antibiotics. Antibiotics place an unnecessary burden on the intestines.

Orthomolecular medicine biological substances that will be effective against colds and cold-related illnesses:

-Vitamins (for example: A, C, E, D, B-complex)

-Minerals (for example: potassium, calcium, phosphorus, magnesium)

-Trace elements (for example: selenium, zinc, copper, manganese, iron, chromium)

-Certain proteins and amino acids (for example: arginine, methionine, cysteine, glutamate)

-Phytochemicals (for example: flavonoids, indoles, saponin)

-Coenzymes (for example: NADH Q1, Q10)

-Fatty acids (for example: omega-3 fatty acids)

-Other supplements; choline, ginkgo biloba, ginseng, lecithin, propolis, algae, chlorella, spirulina, etc.

Vitamin C: strengthens the immune system and supports the body in its fight against foreign substances entering it. It makes the immune system's killer cells more aggressive and mobile. Vitamin C also increases the amount of immunoglobulin that is effective against cold-causing agents.

When ascorbic acid is combined with a sufficient amount of bioflavonoids, its effect increases tenfold. The ideal bioflavonoid–vitamin C combination is found in foods such as broccoli, green cabbage, carrots, garlic, tomatoes, apricots, lemon, and onion. Green cabbage and broccoli are a second choice because they require cooking, since cooking causes a large loss of vitamin C.

Vitamin E: like vitamin C, strengthens the immune system. This vitamin is found especially in vegetable oils, whole grain products, pumpkin, asparagus, green cabbage, and avocado, but is largely destroyed by heat and light.

Vitamin D: vitamin D3, like vitamin C, strengthens the immune system and protects against autoimmune diseases, diabetes, heart failure, and cancer. The effects of vitamin D3 on the immune system, the cardiovascular system, and cell growth are very important. Vitamin D3 strengthens the immune system and reduces susceptibility to infections.

Patience alone!

Recovering from a common cold takes time. It takes 3-4 days to get through the most difficult phase. If there is still no sign of improvement after the eighth day, a doctor should be consulted to confirm the diagnosis.
