Common cold usually starts with a runny or a blocked nose and a sour throat.
Minor symptoms are hoarseness, headache, cough, muscle aches, maybe fever.
Influenza or flue starts with high fever; 102 to 106 degrees Fahrenheit,
a severe headache, so it's a consuming disease
and people can even die from it.
One has to differentiate between the cold and the flue.
The common cold is a result of infections by many different viruses,
that can cause common cold.
The influenza is a disease that is caused by influenza viruses
and is much more severe than the common cold.
I think all of us are going to suffer from colds, no one escapes.
So if you do come down with a cold, what can you do.
I think there is evidence that herbal medicines like Echinaforce
will reduce the severity of symptoms and the duration of symptoms.
Common cold usually takes seven to ten days to heal without any treatment.
If you'll give Echinaforce usually it's gone by day five.
And you can reduce all the symptoms. First you'll get rid of the fever.
Quite often by day two you'll get rid of the severe headache.
Active ingredients of the drug will attack viruses and destroy them.
Exactly how it's doing that I think is going to take a lot of research.
But, the key is that in some ways it's altering our immune response to the virus.
Because it's the immune response that causes all those nasty symptoms of
runny nose, blocked nose, sore throat etcetera.
And if you can dampen that fire down a little bit,
then you're not going to suffer as much
and I think Echinaforce is doing that in some way.
The good option for treating respiratory tract infections is
giving Echinaforce five times two tablets in adults,
three times two tablets a day in children.
It reduces the symptoms considerably, it really does.
The amount of pains and aches that I would always associate
with a flue are reduced. I think that's brilliant.
