Dear all,
In our usual habit of keeping our students, alumni, colleagues, and friends informed about current epidemics, we wanted to send along this note.
For the beginning of 2020 ...
First,
Gelsemium
still seems to be the main remedy for the symptoms of the cold, with the same picture mentioned before, though with more of a cough now. And just to highlight the main point I made last time, it seems as though those taking
Gelsemium
feel pretty good in 4-5 days, versus the 9-12 days that others suffer. And the main mistake we see people making is switching remedies too soon. Pick the best fit remedy and stick with it. The symptoms are a runny nose, mostly with a bland clear discharge, a great deal of frontal sinus pressure which leads to a congestive headache, extreme weakness, feeling wiped out, exhausted with some body aches. Low fever of 99-I00.5, along with an incessant cough.
Needless to say, take any antiviral herbs/vitamins that you know about, keep your diet clean, insure adequate sleep and if you do fall ill, make sure that someone is attending to you so that you have proper care.
Amy and I wish you and your loved ones a very happy and healthy 2020,
Paul Herscu ND, MPH
