If you are fed up constantly suffering  with colds, coughs and flus, then you need to read this because...

Hello there

Colds and flus are one of the banes of winter. Some unfortunate people are even prone to them in the summer months. For some, the symptoms are minor, causing little inconvenience. Others need to take to their bed for days. It can be little fun.

If you have dependents, it’s even worse, because you feel you have to attend to their needs. This isn’t easy when you feel like death warmed up.

If you work, then you’re caught between a rock and a hard place; do you spread your germs, dose yourself up and muddle through, or do you take time out, much to the displeasure of your boss?

Then there’s the recovery time. It can take weeks to feel yourself again. You feel easily drained, everything is an effort, so things slip. The household chores mount up, creating feelings of anxiety. Your temper is short because you’re just not coping. You say things you later regret.

Your GP isn’t much help, apart from issuing you with a sick note, legitimising your days off sick. Antibiotics are the normal treatment for colds and flus, which is crazy when you realise colds are flus are viruses. But it’s all they have.

In these days of the 21st century, is that it? It does seem illogical that while we have such technological advances, the common cold is as, well common, as it always has been. Perhaps more so.

Happily, there is a different way. A way which is not only highly effective, but without side effects, without the post virus debilitation. And, as an extra bonus, it’s very economical.



Cold symptoms are very like allergy symptoms. Any sickness, including allergies, colds and flus, show that you don’t have a very healthy immune system. Instead of trying to treat the symptoms, you should focus on improving the health of your immune system. That way, you are curing the tendency as well as the acute problem.

Not only that, but you are protecting yourself from other illnesses and diseases too. It is only a healthy immune system that can prevent disease, regardless of how contagious it is.

Let’s just run over some of the common symptoms you may experience, or have done so in the past,



The common cold is a contagious viral infection of the upper respiratory tract. The early symptoms can include:

• a runny nose (normally watery)
• sneezing
• a stuffed up feeling in your head (congestion)
• a slight headache
• watery eyes
• perhaps a listlessness

The temperature is usually normal or only slightly elevated. There may be a mild body ache.

Later, a sore throat might develop, with a cough and perhaps a blocked nose.

These symptoms normally last one to two weeks, depending on the condition of your immune system.

Colds can develop into flu. Flu can also develop independently of a cold. Flus are also a viral infection of the respiratory tract, but are not limited to the upper tract. The lungs can also be affected. Flu is also sometimes called grippe. The typical symptoms of flu can include:

• fever (over 39 C/103 F), with or without prolonged chills
• aching or soreness in any part of the body
• a throat so sore as to cause pain or hoarseness
• bad attacks of coughing
• coloured mucus, such as bloody, rusty, green
• thick mucus
• a headache
• digestive problems
• neuralgia

Flu can last just a few days or much longer, depending on your immune response. The recovery from flu can take much longer.

Those prone to the flu can expect recurring bouts whenever they are under pressure or stress, whenever they don’t sleep well, whenever they don’t eat well. In other words, whenever they further burden their already struggling immune system.



There is no known cure for the common cold, medically speaking. Depending on the doctor, you may be advised to:

• just rest (good advise)
• take antibiotics (unhelpful for a virus, but frequently prescribed ‘in case’ a bacterial secondary infection develops)
• take aspirin or an alagaesic containing aspirin to help reduce the fever (fevers are very effective at protecting your body from further harm, so should not be artificially lowered except in extreme circumstances)

Because of this absence of medical treatment, flu vaccines are recommended to try to protect you. However, flu vaccines are by no means widely effective. They usually only carry last year’s strain. Vaccines can also have a multitude of side effects. Some of these include:

• fever
• malaise
• muscle pain
• neurological pain
• Guillain Barre syndrome

It seems that with the vaccine, you get the flu (and possibly something worse) and without the vaccine you may get the flu.

In a variety of independent studies, it was found that the flu vaccine did not give any greater protection than not having the vaccine. And, especially in the elderly but no one was immune, it did create side effects.

It seems to be a lose-lose situation.



In reality, there are some people who are not prone to getting the flu. Everyone has their Achilles heel. For some, it the respiratory tract. For others it’s their blood. For others it’s their joints. You will know what you’re prone to. If you are not prone to colds and flus, then you don’t need a vaccine. Or this information.

Although this information may provide you with ways to help your family members who are prone to the flu.

I’m a natural health therapist. I qualified as a homeopath in the year 2000. I’ve been in full time practice ever since and I love what I do. This is my third career, and definitely the most fulfilling.

I use homeopathy exclusively in my clinic, because it is so fast in its action and so complete in its cure. I know of no better system. Having said that, I may make some recommendations regarding diet and lifestyle, if I see a disturbing trend in these areas.

It’s not uncommon for people to see a homeopath when they are desperate, when all the medical treatment has failed and they are at their wits end. It’s a pity it happens so often this way, as people can save themselves a lot of suffering, heartache and lost income if they consult with a homeopath earlier rather than later.

But even so, this powerful discipline of natural health can still reverse not only all the side effects of the past treatments which may still be bothering you, it can also fully resolve the original problem.

Colds, coughs and flus diminish in frequency and intensity quite dramatically under good homeopathic treatment. A current bout can be quickly overcome, leaving no trace of the post viral effects, so commonly experienced.



Let’s look at some common health problems in the west.

• As already stated, there is no medical cure for the common cold.
• Asthma is common, and the medical treatment only palliates it.
• Heart disease is the number one cause of death, and the number rises every year.
• Cancer was once considered an age related health problem. More and more children now get it.
• Diabetes is a steadily growing problem, with no medical cure.
• Autism and ADHD, once unheard of, are steadily rising.
• More people than ever before are on at least one medical drug. Many are on a cocktail of drugs. For life.
• Mental health problems are increasing, with more and more young people committing suicide.

Does this sound like a healthy, modern, sophisticated, technologically superior era to you? Medicine, despite the billions spent on it, despite the huge increase in doctors, despite the enormous increase in vaccinations and other treatment, are just not delivering. People are becoming sicker.

Another way to go could be to treat disease at the cause, to treat disease energetically, to empower people to help themselves. Homeopathic treatment offers all those answers. Those who use it, love it.

It’s not just that homeopathy works so well that people love it so much. Let’s look at some of the benefits of using homeopathy.



Homeopathy is, above all, an energetic medicine. It works, not by suppressing your symptoms, quite the opposite. It works by helping your body achieve what it is trying to do. It stimulates your immune system. You are only ever sick because your immune system is not working as it should be. And there are countless reasons why it isn’t, all of them personal to you and your life history.

Homeopathy works so much better than any other form of health care because it is energetic, because it personalises you, because it returns your immune system to how it should be, because it restores order where there is chaos, because it removes blockages created by life experiences.

Homeopathy is a highly elegant system of health care. It probably surpasses every other system.

Some of the benefits of homeopathy include:

• it is deeply effective
• it normally works quickly especially for acute problems such as colds and flus
• it resolves the mental affects of the problem (such as irritability) as well as the physical
• it has no side effects
• it immediately improves the flagging energy that so commonly occurs with flu
  
• it is safe, gentle, effective, natural and far-reaching
• it works by stimulating the immune system, thereby improving the general state of health
• it is as effective at treating long term chronic or genetic problems (such as the tendency to get recurring colds and flus, although this is best left to professional homeopaths) as it is treating minor and acute problems 
• it offers permanent resolutions so there is no need to continue the treatment after the condition has disappeared
• it does not exclude anyone including the very young, the very old, yet unborn babies, the frail, the infirm, animals, even plants
• it is as effective for disturbed mental and emotional problems as it is for physical or pathological problems
• it is the most economical form of effective health care there is
• it can be used on two distinct levels - professional for those deep seated and worrying problems - and at a home prescribing level for acute situations (such as a cold) or when you can’t get help (perhaps you’ve gone camping with the family in a remote area)
• it is loved by children
• it does not involve invasive or potentially hazardous procedures
• it involves only a medicine (or remedy) which is most commonly prescribed orally

It’s the home prescribing level that can help you so much and which I so want to help you master.




As part of my desire to share with the world the amazing effectiveness of this little understood discipline of health care, I have always run classes in homeopathic home prescribing.

Maybe I had better explain. Homeopathy is a deeply effective and natural healing discipline which can treat every known condition. People with genetic inheritances, chronic disease and problems which are given up as hopeless by other disciplines, can all fully recover with good homeopathic treatment. But to use it this way you need to consult with a professional homeopath.

And that is an excellent part of everyone’s life journey. Get ongoing, deeply effective health treatment that reverses all your health problems leaving you feeling better each successive year.

But there are also times when you feel it would be good to treat an acute problem of lesser importance yourself.

And thanks to the flexibility of homeopathy, you can also achieve just this.

There are about 40 homeopathic remedies which are so specific for particular conditions, you don’t have to know very much about them to use them effectively. You can start to learn how to use them quite quickly, adding to your knowledge each time you use them. This is what is known as home prescribing.

The advantages speak for themselves. You know the warning signs of an approaching flu, but just can’t find the time to take off work or family duties to fit in a consultation with your homeopath. You know if you leave it, it will progress into a real hum dinger of a flu. So what do you do?

If you have already attended a class teaching you how to treat colds and flus, it doesn’t take much time to dip into your notes, make a selection, take the remedy and wait for improvement.

And that’s great if you did manage to find the time to attend a homeopathic home prescribing class. That is, if there is one in your area.

What if you don’t have the time, or there isn’t one in your area?

The disadvantage of having offline home prescribing classes is that they can’t reach those who couldn’t afford the time off, or if the dates clashed, or if they lived too far away, the other side of the world, perhaps.

So that’s when I decided to put together all my class notes and create Natural Flu Remedies and Solutions™. That way, everyone has access to it at any time.
