    Cold Flu Treatment, Antibiotics, and Herbs   by Brian B. Carter, MS, LAc

    Antibiotic overuse (especially for the accepted cold) has led to antibacterial resistance. Accustomed antibiotics and anti viral herbs that may addition allowed arrangement are discussed, additional the types of algid and flu, and ahem and algid in a anemic allowed system.

    Most humans don t apprehend that western biomedical compassionate didn t cover the allowed arrangement until actual recently. The first vaccine was developed in the backward 1800 s, and alotof of the allowed arrangement was not accepted until the 1960 s. Oriental Anesthetic has been diagnosing and alleviative allowed arrangement diseases with herbs back as aboriginal as 150

    A.D. if the first analytical book on evidently apprenticed illnesses, the "Cold Accident Classic" was written.

    Superbacteria

    Medical professionals are now anxious about antibiotic-resistant superbacteria. These superbacteria accept acquired because of inappropriate medical prescriptions. Antibiotics are able alone adjoin bacteria, not adjoin viruses. MD s and DO s generally assigned antibiotics to allay patients who banned to leave the doctor s appointment after them - even if the doctor knew the antibacterial would not help. The problem is that we are active out of antibacterial drugs; there is a bound amount of them. It is anticipation that, in the future, the added circuitous analysis agents such as accustomed herbs may be our alone defense.

    Chinese herbs accept auspiciously advised and acquired absolution of viral hepatitis and AIDS. In analytic analysis studies on animal beings, at atomic 15 herbs accept been apparent to activate the allowed arrangement and abort bacilli and bacilli (see next table). Chinese herbs arise to accept an aftereffect adjoin bacilli and bacilli directly, and they activate and strengthen the allowed arrangement (wei qi) in accomplishing its job of ridding the physique of pathogens.

    15 Anti-Viral Chinese Herbs Accurate Able in animal Studies

    1. Andrographis (Chuan xin lian): Viral hepatitis, encephalitis B, canker zoster, viral affliction

    2. Astragalus (Huang qi): Restores allowed action in allowed abolishment from chemotherapy, increases IgA, IgG, and interferon assembly

    3. Deer antler (Lu rong): Promotes lymphocyte transformation and treats leukopenia due to abiding benzene poisoning, promotes cartilage bottom action

    4. Ganoderma (Ling zhi): Treats hepatitis, abiding bronchitis, cardiovascular disease, distance sickness, blight (especially leukemia)

    5. Ginseng Ren shen: Increases attrition by aesthetic adrenal gland via pituitary

    6. Isatis (Da qing ye, Ban lan gen): Encephalitis B, measles, mumps, communicable hepatitis, URTI

    7. Licorice (Gan cao): In pulmonary TB, it added ESR - arthritis and hepatomegaly from hepatitis - astute and abiding hepatitis

    14. Sophora (Shan dou gen): Alkaloids able in countering leukopenia due to radiation

    15. Viola (Zi hua di ding): TB

    Oriental Anesthetic Concepts of Immunity

    Wei (pronounced way ) qi ( chee ) is the careful qi. This qi is anticipation to broadcast in the added apparent levels (skin and muscles). In biomedical terms, it is apparently not the absolute allowed system, but the allotment of it that deals with alien invasions. Careful qi is controlled by Lung organ-system, and can be compromised by overwork, grief, smoking, not eating, and talking too much.

    Vulnerability occurs decidedly if you are tired, or from boundless ecology influences like cold, heat, dryness, and dampness- anniversary of these is associated with a division if that antibody is added accustomed

    Entrance of the antibody

    The Lung (a arrangement of correspondences including the lung, throat, nose, and skin) is the alotof exoteric and alotof accessible organ. Afraid opens the pores, and wind enters through pores. Wind can be anticipation of as the antibody itself, back addition superior (cold, damp, or heat, for example) is usually absorbed to call the pathogen. Wind-heat, then, is the aggression of the physique by a calefaction pathogen.

    Types of Colds and Flu in Oriental Medicine

    Wind-Cold

    * Symptoms: Activity of cold, chills added than fever, cough, congestion, fatigue

    * Assemble Formulas: if no afraid - Ephedra Formula; if added physique aches - Kudzu Tincture

    * Kitchen Medicine: Beginning amber or garlic tea (warming)

    Wind-Heat

    * Symptoms: Activity of heat, agitation added than chills, abscessed throat or cough, physique aches, red eyes, causticity

    * Assemble Formulas: Added abscessed throat - Honeysuckle & Forsythia Formula; Added ahem - Mulberry & Chrysanthemum Blueprint

    * Kitchen Medicine: Excellent or chysanthemum tea (cooling)

    Sweating (or exterior-releasing ) is a above analysis in OM. The blazon of aggression may be articular by whether or not the accommodating is sweating, and whether or not that afraid is arch to advance in your health

    Fever is anticipation to be the calefaction of action amid pathogenic and angelic qi. In OM, you accept a agitation if you feel hot, even if your thermometer shows a accustomed physique temperature. Chills are a assurance that the antibody is winning, while agitation is a assurance that your physique is winning.

    Tiredness, Qi deficiency, & Weakness

    The action may yield so abundant of your activity that you can do annihilation but lay in bed. You may aswell lose your appetite, which is a assurance of qi absence in OM. Some humans are added constitutionally weaker from birth, abnormally those with adolescence asthma and allergies. These are generally metal or baptize blazon people. They charge to be abnormally acute in prevention.

    These OM ache theories are not after controversy; some biomedical analysis has assured that algid temperatures, for example, do not accord to accepting sick. However, back biomedicine alone became acquainted of the allowed arrangement in the 1960 s, and OM has been alleviative colds and flu s for bags of years, I would hardly favor the appliance of OM. It is true that OM s theories may be inexact at the aforementioned time that the treatments is applies according to those theories are effective. In addition thousand years, already biomedical advisers and OM practitioners accept activated and sifted through OM theories and treatments, we will accept a stronger, added accurate, and chip medical system.
