Important Information about Kopec Naturals Cold and
Flu Fighter
What is Cold and Flu Fighter?
Cold and Flu Fighter is a transdermal remedy intended as prevention for colds and flu
symptoms and to help with the onset of symptoms related to colds and flu. Cold and Flu Fighter contains
antiseptic, antifungal, immune boosting, decongestive, and calming ingredients.
Cold and Flu Fighter can help improve
sleep during times of illness and can improve symptoms through essential oils
that reduce viral and bacterial colonies that can cause colds and flu symptoms.
What is a transdermal remedy and how does it work?
A transdermal remedy uses the skin as an orifice to bring medicine
directly into the bloodstream. A transdermal remedy enters the skin and moves
into the bloodstream by passing through cell membranes where the ingredients
are identified by the body and taken to where the body needs it most. Using a transdermal remedy is a little different than
you may be used to. Using a transdermal remedy asks you to think differently
about your skin, and asks you to think differently about the way you deal with
a condition or problem you’ve been experiencing by rubbing oil on your chest
and throat to relieve symptoms. Although this application seems like a new and
novel way to take care of an internal condition, transdermal remedies are
gaining more and more scientific recognition.
Rubbing oil on your chest,
neck and throat, and then breathing in the aroma takes us back to ancient times
of being anointed with oil by either a priest or a physician to heal someone of
their illness. Transdermal remedies formulated from essential oils and carrier
oils were in fact, the very first medicines. When you rub oil on specific
places, you are in close proximity to some of your body’s main arteries
allowing the essential oil to take the quickest path to the inside of your
bloodstream.
What is the difference between a transdermal remedy
and some over the counter medications for cold and flu symptoms?
A transdermal remedy works with
the entire body and not against it. Because our transdermal
remedies are working with the body,
results can be subtle and take time for the body to work with the formula as
the body sees fit. A transdermal remedy may or may not bring hard hitting
results, but most chemical medicines that bring hard hitting results can harm
one part of the body in order to help another. In the long run, this can do
more harm than good. Using a transdermal remedy means you honor the entire body
as it heals.
How should I use Cold and Flu Fighter?
Rub Cold and Flu Fighter over the chest and neck before sleep. By doing
so, you allow the formula to enter the skin over the chest and throat, over the
heart and the main arteries in the body. Using
every night before sleep is important to help the body continually prevent or
fight viral and bacterial colonies. Using Cold and Flu Fighter before bed can help assist sleep to help the
body heal. Cold and Flu Fighter does not contain petroleum and other harmful
toxins that can indirectly interfere with the body’s ability to heal that you
might find in other topical decongestants such as Vick’s Vapor Rub.
What else can I consider to improve my health in this
area?
During a
cold or flu keeping foods simple and as close to nature as possible to help
speed recovery time.
Nutritional supplements such
as Vitamin C with Bioflavonoids (which improve the
effectiveness of Vitamin C), Zinc and GLA (in supplements such as Borage Oil or
Evening Primrose Oil) help assist the body prevent and fight infection.
Natural supplements such as
Oregano Oil capsules, Grapefruit seed extract capsules and a Probiotic Supplement containing active cultures in the
billions can help the body fight infections naturally. As with any supplement
please read all labeling and consult your doctor for treatment.
It is also important to eliminate
certain foods that can contribute to certain symptoms such as sinus and
bronchial congestion. Foods that can contribute to upper respiratory problems
are:
1. Sugar in all forms, this
includes the following: sugar, sucrose, brown sugar, high fructose corn syrup,
corn syrup, fructose, glucose, honey,
maltodextrin, maple syrup, aspartame, splenda, stevia, dextrose, equal, NutraSweet,
saccharin, manitol, sorbitol and xylose.
Avocadoes are a great food source to eat to help reduce sugar cravings,
and provide essential fatty acids necessary for all healthy body functions.
2. Products made with cow’s
milk can generate extra mucus that can make breathing more difficult.
3. Processed foods made from white
flour are extremely mucus
forming and can cause difficulties regardless of symptoms ranging from
gastro-intestinal difficulties, nausea, skin rashes and outbreaks such as
eczema, yeast infections, to depression, irritability or hyperactivity. White
flour is in pasta, crackers, cookies, and breads.
Eliminating these foods while
sick can boost the immune system for a much, much faster recovery time.
Drink plenty of fluids to
flush accumulated mucus out of the system. To ensure an adequate amount of
fluids take your child’s body weight and divide it in half. This new number is
how much fluid ounces you should be giving yourself
every 24 hrs. For example, an 180lb adult should
consume 90 ounces of water every 24 hrs.
Breathing difficulties can be
serious and should never be taken lightly. See your doctor if your child develops
a tightness in the chest that keeps her from breathing which may be the sign of
pneumonia, asthma or other serious conditions.
