A Better Flu Home Remedy

The influenza virus can be life threatening - it kills about 36,000 people (mostly over age 65) each year. For employers, it's a major loss of revenue and productivity. The New England Journal of Medicine reported in 1995 that it costs employers $3 to $5 million annually. We don't yet have a study to verify it, but my and other herbalists' observation is that a flu home remedy like Honeysuckle & Bupleurum cuts cold and flu time down to 2 or 3 days. If every American employee used them, we'd save millions!

How do you personally stand to gain from this flu home remedy? David Givens felt better in 2 days, despite having to pack, fly acrossrepparttar country, and socialize away from home. Travel and overdoing it can stressrepparttar 114738 immune system, plane travel can irritaterepparttar 114739 sinuses, and David's immune system had already been compromised byrepparttar 114740 flu. So,repparttar 114741 herbs not only turnedrepparttar 114742 tide, but also kept him healthy despite greater than normal stressors.

Givens adds, "There are so many side effects with overrepparttar 114743 counter remedies - your nose gets dried out and you get sleepy. There's always a drawback you feel right away, whereas, with this flu home remedy, there wasn't one. It's a much cleaner change within body."

If you're not a licensed medical professional, as with many diseases, please don't make your medical decisions solely onrepparttar 114744 basis of your reading and research - consult your medical doctor, and a licensed and trained herbalist/acupuncturist.

It's also important, when considering various treatments, to differentiate between colds, flu's, and sinus infections. You can findrepparttar 114745 specific symptoms of each onrepparttar 114746 National Institute of Health's MEDLINEplus internet health information website (www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/).

The Miraculous Tape Worm Diet Pill

Dimintio subsequently tried to convince two more baker/entrepreneurs to merge cookies and tape worms, but they brushed him off. He became depressed. We have a record of him at Mt. Sinai, New York City's oldest hospital, where he received water bath therapy, which was all modern medicine had for depression inrepparttar late 1800's. Local history in his hometown in Mexico has it that he returned home to his wife and family to bake cookies duringrepparttar 114737 day and play sad Mariachi songs at night.

Rampant Obesity inrepparttar 114738 20th and 21st Century Byrepparttar 114739 end ofrepparttar 114740 20th century, it was clear that Demintio had been way ahead of his time. Obesity was onrepparttar 114741 rise, and food addictions were in full swing. Even children as young as nine were eating themselves into adult-onset diabetes. The term 'globesity' was coined to describe this worldwide health crisis.

Ever ahead ofrepparttar 114742 health curve,repparttar 114743 Canadian government ordered an exhaustive study of all weight loss solutions known to man. Organizations like Weightwatchers were investigated, diets like The Zone, Atkins, and South Beach were evaluated, herbs like ephedra were eaten, snorted, and injected, tribal peoples acrossrepparttar 114744 world were extorted in an attempt to discover their weight loss wisdom... not a single stone was left unturned.

Finally,repparttar 114745 government-appointed Canadian National Committee forrepparttar 114746 Sane Control of Weight issued its monstruously authoritative 500-page report, and overnight it became a Canadian bestseller.

Readers in America still haven't heard of it. It's Canadian! Who cares?? One American publisher firm attempted to take onrepparttar 114747 U.S. distribution ofrepparttar 114748 report, but ran into translation difficulties. The movie rights, however, are still available.

Amongrepparttar 114749 Committee's findings are:

* No diet works for everyone * Most obese people are lazy, but so are many skinny people * Many obese people eat lots of sugar and diet sodas, but so do skinny Hollywood fashion models * Professional athletes usually are not obese * Anorexics don't gain weight

In short,repparttar 114750 report was stunning in its inconclusiveness. The only points of light were some promising newer diets that had not yet been tried by large groups of people, or by large groups of large people, which included:

* The Tape Worm Diet Pill * The Miraculous All Chocolate Diet * The Ephedra Weight Loss Pizza

Experts, inrepparttar 114751 report, expressed concerns about each of these diets. Yet, they concluded, "we must try anything and everything, leaving no stone unturned, until everyone inrepparttar 114752 world can look like Jennifer Lopez and Brad Pitt."

Ok, ok, let's get serious.

I really am working on an ephedra weight loss pizza.

Stay tuned.
