An Extremely Effective, Simple Treatment for Colds and Flu.
Even though the names of devastating flu are often Asian in character, and China has been credited or blamed with the development of some of the most deadly flu epidemics in the world, the Chinese - through effective acupuncture approaches - have had a major impact in altering the extreme symptomatology that accompanies both the flu and the common cold.
The following illustrated acupuncture approach is extremely effective in not only alleviating the symptoms associated with cold or flu but, if used early enough, may potentially prevent the symptoms and condition from developing at all. All of the points shown may be stimulated with noninvasive stimulation devices such as the teishein, electronic stimulation or laser, in addition to needles. One of the most effective approaches to successful treatment is to copy the images below and provide them for your patients for self-stimulation of the points throughout the day. Remember, this may be one of the most powerful effects for cold and flu you will ever learn.

TREATING VIRAL INFECTIONS WITH CHINESE HERBAL PRODUCTS
One of the great contributions Chinese medicine offers the West is the availability of herbs and herbal formulas that directly attack viral heat toxins causing the common cold, influenza, upper respiratory infections, and common pediatric diseases. Here, Western medicine is at a total loss, offering at best bed rest and fluids, and at worse, antibiotics.
Why do I say worse? Antibiotics are ultimately ineffective against viral infections, doing nothing to alter the time frame of an infection, but they can negatively impact the body´s immune system. Antibiotics destroy five hundred species of beneficial gut bacteria and promote the growth of the fungus Candida Albicans. Gut bacteria do the lion´s share of enzymatically destroying toxins in the small intestine, as well as providing co-factors that allow absorption of essential nutrients from the food. When they are reduced, intestinal toxins accumulate and malnourishment follows. When Candida is allowed to proliferate, caustic aldehydes are released from the fungus irritating and shrinking small intestine epithelium, allowing absorption of the accumulating toxins. The results are catastrophic, causing a weakened immune system with an inability to effectively fight common infections.
