Date: October 05, 2011 05:48PM Wrote a little article on my new blog hopefully some of you guys will enjoy it. It started about natural cold/flu prevention then veered more into all round immune system health tips. I didn't go into extreme detail or i would have had to write a book lol, but enough to hopefully get the points across.
Anyway here is the link and any feedback is appreciated as always. [amlaberry.co.uk] Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 10/05/2011 05:48PM by powerlifer. Re: Natural Cold/Flu Prevention & Immune System Health Tips

If I am feeling under the weather, and I suspect it to be viral, I take Red Clover Pau D'Arco And sometimes Essiac tea (or its component herbs) Ho Shu Wu and Astralgus If I am feeling sick and I suspect it to be related to a bacteria, I have amazing success personally with this: Yarrow tea and Yarrow caps Grapefruit seed extract Oregon Grape Root Extract Goldenseal And sometimes Ho Shu Wu and Astralgus. I'm never sure I'm pronouncing or spelling Astralgus correctly. Hm. Re: Natural Cold/Flu Prevention & Immune System Health Tips

Pau D'Arco is a great anti-viral and anti-bacterial herb and doesn't kill of the gut flora. As i say in the article im not very fond of herbs which contain berberine such as Goldenseal and Oregon Grape Root. Berberine can kill of the gut flora in as little as a few days, which can cause more problems. It can also deplete potassium also. Especially when there are herbs such as Pau D'Arco which have effective anti-bacterial properties. Astragalus is pronounced (As-trĂ¡-ga-lus). Trying to keep your immune system in tip top shape is always the best i.e to prevent before you need to take action . I didnt act exercise but it is very important for immune system health specifically keeping the lymphatic system from stagnating.

as far as the berberine in the gs and ogr: it may kill some gut flora, but if you only take it as part of a rotation for a few days, how much dis-balance could it really cause, considering how FAST they work. I love o.g.r. extract for sore throat because it's instant pain relief. haha, how bout *rebuilding* the gut flora I kill when i take things that contain berberine? (MM:rebuild WHAT?!?!)

Date: October 05, 2011 08:55PM Haha rebuilders.
The problem is that berberine containing herbs can kill of the flora very quickly and when there are better options that don't, i still feel they aren't needed. Goldenseal is also becoming endangered from what ive read so it probably isnt that ethical to use it from a herbal point of view. But yeah supporting and rebuilding your gut flora is one of the best things you can do for health period in my opinion, especially with regards to digestion and keeping opportunistic pathogens such as candida in check.

I have really been so much more into herbs these days, and am making them a regular part of my diet. Newest on my list are Astragalus, Reishi and Chaga. Re: Natural Cold/Flu Prevention & Immune System Health Tips

All great choices also, astragalus and reishi are also supportive to the adrenal glands. Chaga to some degree also. [www.amlaberry.co.uk] Re: Natural Cold/Flu Prevention & Immune System Health Tips
