7 Powerful Ways To Stop A Cold - and Prevent One

7 Powerful Ways To Stop A Cold - and Prevent One
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! People are cramming the malls in search of last-minute gifts. Cookies are being baked and frosted. Presents are getting wrapped. We (finally) have snow in Upstate NY, so this Christmas will be a white one for us. And unfortunately during this happy, busy time... People with colds are EVERYWHERE! It can be easy to catch a cold ANY time of year, but especially when the temperatures drop and you may be working long hours, not getting enough sleep and/or eating lots of "party fare" like cookies, eggnog and candy canes. So it may not be long before you too have that familiar sore, pus-coated throat, drippy or stuffy nose, cough, fatigue and a strong desire to become a permanent fixture on the sofa. But the good news is there are seven very effective measures you can take to help your body fight off a cold or other respiratory infection. I call them my "7 Cold Battling Strategies" and I can honestly say that I cannot remember the last time I had a cold--it's been YEARS. So without further ado, here they are: Cold Battling Strategy #1:  Vitamin C Vitamin C boosts your immune system by helping to increase the production of infection-fighting white blood cells and antibodies. It also increases your level of interferon, which is the antibody that coats cell surfaces, preventing the entry of viruses. Good sources include parsley, broccoli, bell peppers, strawberries, oranges, lemon juice, papaya, cauliflower, kale, mustard greens and Brussels sprouts. You can also buy Vitamin C supplements just about anywhere. Cold Battling Strategy #2:  Vitamin E Although it's not as popular as vitamin C, vitamin E plays an important role in the health of your immune system. The main cells of your immune system are T cells and B cells. Helper T cells patrol your body, waiting to attack a dangerous invader. Regulatory T cells protect your healthy cells. And B cells create antibodies when you do get sick to help prevent that sickness from entering again. (Think: Chicken pox) As you age, your T cells and B cells don't work as well as they used to, so your immune system is weaker. But vitamin E has been shown in studies to significantly increase T cell and B cell activity, thereby making your immune system stronger. Good sources are spinach, Swiss chard, turnip greens, mustard greens, cayenne pepper, almonds, sunflower seeds, asparagus and bell peppers. Vitamin E supplements are also readily available. Cold Battling Strategy #3:  Garlic Garlic is a natural immune system booster. It stimulates the production of infection-fighting white cells and enhances the efficiency of antibody production. There's a catch, though: To get the full benefits of garlic, you have to eat it raw (or very lightly cooked). Typical garlic pills, tablets, oils and capsules, especially the odorless ones, usually have had the active enzymes in the garlic that provide the health benefits processed out. But never fear--there are a great many ways to enjoy garlic and get its full immune system charge (more on that below). Cold Battling Strategy #4:  Oregano The oils in this delicious spice include thymol and carvacrol, both of which have been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria. In addition to enjoying oregano in Italian and Mediterranean dishes, oil of oregano is also available at health food stores and many grocery stores. Cold Battling Strategy #5:  Zinc Similar to garlic, this powerhouse mineral increases the production of infection-fighting white blood cells, and helps white cells release more antibodies. Good sources of zinc include beef, oysters, crab, turkey, scallops, oats, yogurt, venison and spinach. Note that although zinc supplements and lozenges are available, too much zinc can backfire on you and inhibit your immune system. It's best to aim for 15-25 milligrams a day which you can easily get from a healthy diet (more on that below). Cold Battling Strategy #6:  Probiotics Nothing enhances your immune system like a healthy dose of the same beneficial bacteria that reside in your gut and make up about 70-80% of that immune system! The key is taking a probiotic supplement that has a wide variety of bacteria strains (more strains = more ways to enhance your health) AND ensuring that those bacteria are actually alive when you take them. (Many supplements have been on warm store shelves for months and it's very likely that some or all of the bacteria have died.) Super Shield probiotic formula delivers on both of those important points. Super Shield contains 13 potent strains of beneficial bacteria, each of which has its own specialty on how it enhances your health and helps strengthen your immune system to better fight colds and many other illnesses. And the Granddaddy of them all: Cold Battling Strategy #7:  Real foods You can take all the immune-enhancing supplements in the world, but if your diet is poor, you're cutting your own throat in these 3 ways: - A poor diet creates acid waste in your body, which makes is next to impossible for you to absorb nutrients you need. So supplements you do take can pass right through you. - A poor diet nourishes the harmful bacteria in your gut, while starving the helpful ones. This can make your immune system function practically non-existent. - A poor diet also encourages an acidic pH. When your body is in a state of acidity, it can't effectively heal itself or fight illnesses. Now, if having a healthy diet sounds about as interesting to you as watching paint dry, you're in luck. Because the Great Taste No Pain system will prove you wrong! The Great Taste No Pain manuals will teach you how to structure delicious, low acid meals featuring real foods that not only taste good but are good FOR you. And the recipe book portion of the system is packed with 112 scrumptious dishes, many of which feature immune-enhancing oregano and garlic (including my outstanding spaghetti sauce), as well as natural dietary sources of vitamin C, vitamin E and zinc.   Put the 7 Cold Battling Strategies to work for you, and chances are excellent you'll eventually find yourself saying, "Gee, I can't remember the last time I had a cold!"

My sister Lynn is a long time purchaser of your Super Shield, and I too have been taking Super Shield for several years with great results. Recently I missed a few doses and consequently developed a cold and had a very runny nose. Today I got back on track, and took 4 capsules a few hours ago. After those couple hours passed, I realized that my nose was no longer running. Pretty fast response, I would say! I immediately called Lynn to tell her, and she suggested that I email you. Thank you for a very effective product.
