How to Beat a Cold!

It’s that time of year again when everyone around you seems to be catching something. Here at the office, we see many people on the verge of getting sick or dealing with an illness that has gone on way too long. But, somehow, knock on wood, we never get sick. I’ve got some tricks of the trade I continually share with you each year….

If your around people that are sick or you feel a ever so slight symptom… Gan Mao Ling…6 pills initially and then 3 pills every 3 hours thereafter. You should not need to continue this for more than 3 doses. If so, then move into Yin Qiao phase. Vitamin C …3,000 mg a day Echinacea Supreme…I prefer tincture, 30 drops every 3 hours.

If you feel a symptom, sore throat, head pressure, ears clogged, etc. Yin Qiao…Take 6 pills initially, then 3 pills every 3 hours. Echinacea Surpreme…I prefer tincture, 30 drops every 3 hours. Vitamin C…3,000 mg a day. Zinc lozenges…1 lozenge every 2-3 hours.

If you feel constriction in your chest… Poria XPT by Evergreen…3 capsules 4 times a day Vitamin C…3,000 mg a day. You can also call the office for advice anytime or send an email:
