Wage War Against Colds and Flu this Winter


What causes a cold??

Breathing in cold viruses does not in itself cause a cold. If you try to give some one a cold for example, it takes more than a virus.

Experiments have incubated cold viruses, placed them directly on the mucous lining of the nose, and found that their subjects came down with colds on 12% of the time.

For germs to grow in you, you must be fertile soil

The Medical Approach

Orthodox medicine offers no cure for the common cold. Taking antibiotics for a cold is completely worthless because colds are associated with viruses (antibiotics work only on bacteria).

Giving antibiotics "just in case" has been criticised in the medical literature as unnecessary and dangerous.

The Chiropractic Approach

Chiropractic does not treat the common cold. However chiropractic care can help raise your natural resistance to disease by removing a serious interference to your proper body function; vertebral subluxations. Remember an elevated temperature is one of your body’s defence mechanisms, helping you destroy infection. Lowering a fever reduces this defence against disease.

As Dr Warren says, "Keeping your body free from vertebral subluxations keeps your natural immunity high and could make the difference between a quick recovery and a lingering illness."
