Seasonal flu or influenza is caused by three types of viruses: influenza A, B, and C. As flu is caused by viruses, antibiotics should not be used since they are only effective against bacteria. Using antibiotics in patients who do not have bacterial infections promotes the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which may lead to serious problems later in life and greater mortality.
Anti-inflammatory drugs and plants may be used to treat fever and sore throat. Linden (Tilia argentea) is excellent to treat fever. Place 2 to 3 teaspoons of the herb in 200 ml of boiling hot water. Allow to steep for 20 minutes. Drink 2 to 3 cups per day. Sweeten with honey for better taste and effect.
Sage (Salvia Officinalis) and Peppermint (Mentha Piperita) have strong anti-inflammatory and antiviral effect. They are used in BRNCHO PAM. The antiinfluenza virus effect of the combined plant preparation BRONCHO PAM was studied. It inhibited considerably the reproduction of influenza viruses in hen embryonated eggs. The infectious titres of treated viruses were reduced. Dr. Pamukoff has observed with thousands of patients that the effect of BRONCHO PAM is seen after 2 to 5 days
BRONCHO PAM is also beneficial for bronchitis. The herbs in BRONCHO PAM act by supporting the natural defence mechanisms of the human body. They also have antiviral properties and repair damaged lung tissue. The total size of your lungs structure is as big as a football stadium and for that reason it can take 2 to 6 months to heal serious forms of bronchitis. Unlike the effect of synthetic medicines the results appear slowly but with staying power.
Acute bronchitis often develops during the course of an upper respiratory infection such as the common cold or influenza. About 90% to 95% of cases of acute bronchitis are caused by viruses.
Acute bronchitis often develops during the course of an upper respiratory infection such as the common cold or influenza. About 90% to 95% of cases of acute bronchitis are caused by viruses.
Only about 5% to 10% of bronchitis cases are caused by a bacterial infection. For that reason antibiotics should not be given without tests, as they are effective only in 5% to 10% of the cases. They are only recommended is if examination of Gram stained sputum shows large numbers of bacteria present.
Through repeated occurrences, acute bronchitis becomes chronic bronchitis. In this instance not only functional but also morphological changes occur. The breathing cells in the lungs are replaced by connective tissue. The surface of lungs is not fully used and breathing is not normal. The body lacks oxygen to make hemoglobin and so it suffers.Chronic bronchitis also develops as a result of a person constantly breathing dusty air or being exposed to air pollution. Seasonal allergies can additionally complicate this condition.
In our next article we will review in greater detail chronic bronchitis.
