FLU TIME
By Rosemary Skinner SRN
Just as we are nearing the end of our winter so many of us begin to suffer from respiratory infections. The New Year with its attendant late nights has left many with weakened immune systems, our natural defenses. Colds and Influenza are the most common problems. What are the differences between the two infections? Colds are described as minor infections, highly contagious and uncomfortable. Easily communicated by sneezing or coughing, the flu virus has a long and grisly history as a killer; there are many strains of flu. There is also a fear of future flu pandemics as the virus changes with each cycle. In one year, nearly twenty million cases of flu were reported in Europe . Influenza appears similar to a cold but is more serious.
How can you tell the difference? The major differences are; Influenza, extreme exhaustion at the start of the illness with aches and pains, high fever 100f to102f to, together with a headache. Common cold symptom are invariably much milder. Less discomfort than flu, there is much less pain. Initial treatment in both cases is medication to treat the symptoms, drink plenty of fluids and rest. Symptom relief can consist of anti arthritic preparations for your muscular pains to antihistamines to lessen nasal discharge. Many preparations have all these ingredients.
Magnet Therapy can play an important part in relieving the symptoms. The “Magnetic Eye Mask” I have found to be of particular benefit, very relaxing and allowing you to isolate yourself from those around you. The “Magnetic back belt” is of special benefit for your muscular pain. A “D- Max super magnet” can be worn on the thymus gland. North Pole ( green side) to the skin for up to 4 hours. Further details are in my book “Magnetic Therapy- A powerful Healing Force”. In addition magnetized water will help flush the toxins out of you system. Have you had a flu vaccination? Prevention is better than cure, so everybody tells us.
Spring is of special importance this year!! The revised edition of my book.
