Herbs For Colds & Flu Season

    I had a customer call recently to say that they were sick and that the Infection Formula wasn’t working. I asked how much they were taking and they said 2 capsules a day. Two capsules of any of the following: Dr. Christopher's  Infection Formula, Immune System Formula, Western Botanicals Immune Boost Formula, Immu-Defense Formula or Goldenseal Combination would work great to boost your immune system and fight bacteria or virus if you have been exposed to sick people. A great dosage when you feel you have something coming on is at least 2 capsules three or more times a day of any of the above formulas, and I have taken them as often as every half hour when things were really bad.  Note that the Flu & Virus Formula is now called Goldenseal Combination - it is a great formula to fight both bacteria and virus bugs and is available in liquid as well as capsules.

    A few days ago I felt a little drainage at the back of the sinus before it drains into my throat.  My throat thankfully wasn't red but I could tell that things were headed the wrong way. I like to hit things hard to get rid of them fast and not let it develop into anything worse so I took 2 Infection Formula, 2 Immu-Defense capsules and 2 Immune System Formula.  I took this three times on the first day as well as the second day. On the third day it felt perfect, but to be safe I took one more dose of all three formulas. It has been quite a few days and I continue to be healthy.

    The three days I took the herbs cost a total of $7.00 which is really a small price to pay to not get sick.  Years ago I would be sick six weeks every winter and hardly able to take care of my family.  Learning the principles of health and making the diet changes, and adding the herbs into our routine has been priceless to our family.

    Recently I saw the Dr. Oz show. He asked people if they ask their doctor for an anti-biotic and if the doctor gave it to them.  Quite a few doctors did and Dr. Oz told the audience that antibiotics don’t work for illness caused by a virus. People wanted help and that is why they went to the doctor.  Here at Herbs First we have the products to help you get well. We hope that you will order them to have on hand so that you can keep your family healthy.

Cold and Flu fighters and Immune System Builders

    Many years ago I would be sick for Christmas and into the new year, usually for a total of six weeks. That was back when I was a sugar queen and didn't follow the mucusless diet. Dr. Christopher taught that if you ate right you didn't have to worry about plagues and I'm happy to say that with following the diet and being off of sugar I rarely get sick.

The top formula for colds and flu is Super Garlic Immune Formula and we used to go through lots of it at my house. Anti-Plague is about the worst tasting thing I have ever tasted, but is oh so good for you. I could feel myself getting better when I ate this. I take a tablespoon every 15 mintues to half an hour when things are really bad. It has powerful and amazing healing qualities. Buy Christopher's Super Garlic Immune formula in 4 oz and 16 oz sizes, or Western Botanicals version  Immu-Defense Syrup in 4, 8 and 16 oz or capsules. The capsules are great to have around for people that can't handle the strong garlic taste of the liquid, but I know lots of people that love the taste too!

Both Dr. Christopher’s and Western Botanicals have some great formulas to choose from when it comes to treating infants, children and adults. Since we are in the midst of winter and more and more people are getting sick, now would be a good time to order some formulas to keep everyone healthy.

I take something at the first sign of sickness such as sniffles, sore throat, fever, or just being exposed to sick people such as at school, church, work or shopping. Western Botanicals Immune Boost Syrup works to boost the immune system as well as kill bugs, and it so great tasting and easy to get kids to take.  Immune Boost is available in alcohol extract, great tasting syrup and capsules.

Dr. Christopher's Infection Formula helps move the toxins out of the blood stream and is a great infection fighter. I like to switch off the formulas I take so that my body doesn't get used to it. The Infection Formula has always been one of the top formula choices to have on hand. Order  Infection formula capsules.

I am still working on weak lungs from years of bronchitus in the past due to a steel mill that used to be in our community. It was a happy day when they closed it down and dismantled it.  I continue to take Dr. Christopher's Lung and Bronchial Formula during the winter months to keep my lungs strong. It is great formula for people with asthma, etc. and I can attest to the fact that it really does a great job of keeping the lungs nice and open. Lung and Bronchial Formula is available in capsules and extract.

A must have formula for any family is Western Botanicals Herbal Ear Drops. A 1 oz. bottle will last most families at least a year. My kids would get ear infections late at night and I would put a few drops in each ear and put a cotton ball in their ear to help hold the oil in. Usually with in 15 minutes they would quiet down and get a good night’s sleep. I keep it refrigerated and warm the bottle it in a glass of hot water. I recommend getting a new bottle every 2 years to keep it fresh. Order Herbal Ear Drops.

Cold Tonic is the recipe that was given out when I was going to The School of Natural Healing. Purchase all the ingredients fresh from the Grocery Store, it take two weeks to make, and is another great infection fighter to have on hand.

Cold Tonic

Raw Apple Cider Vinegar
1 part fresh chopped Garlic Cloves
1 part fresh chopped White Onion
1 part fresh grated Ginger Root
1 part fresh grated Horseradish Root
1 part fresh chopped Cayenne Peppers or the hottest peppers available, i.e. habanero, African Bird, etc.

Fill a glass jar 3/4 of the way full w/equal parts by volume (i.e. a cup of each) of the above fresh chopped and grated herbs. Then fill jar to the top with raw apple cider vinegar. Close and shake vigorously and then top off the vinegar if necessary.

Shake at least once a day for two weeks, then filter the mixture through cheesecloth and bottle and label. When you make this tonic shake it every time you walk by it, at least once per day but the more the better. All the herbs and vegetables should be fresh and organically grown if possible.

This tonic is extremely powerful, 1 tsp for kids and 1 tbsp for adults. Gargle if you have a sore throat and swallow. Do not dilute, take it straight.
