Beat back the flu without that dangerous shot Q: Like most people, I fall victim to the occasional cold or bout with the flu. I see the flu shot pushed everywhere, but forget it! I'm looking for a natural approach to keep the sniffles at bay. Dr. Wright: You might want to look into Cold-fx—the best- selling over-the-counter remedy in Canada for the prevention and treatment of cold and flu. It's a uniquely standardized extract of North American ginseng, and has several positive clinical studies demonstrating its effectiveness. Even a Canadian government agency has given its seal of approval for the claim that it "helps to reduce the frequency, severity, and duration of cold and flu symptoms by boosting the immune system." Ridiculously, the makers of Cold-fx aren't allowed by the FDA to tell the truth about its products. But that doesn't stop me from telling you! You can find it in many natural food stores or compounding pharmacies.  |
